Just a guy shilling for gun ownership, tech privacy, and trans rights.

Always looking for penpals!

Linux everywhere and then Windows VM labeled “Shitty Spyware Do Not Open”
I wouldn’t hate that. I’ve been meaning to try some AI extension to add to my VSCodium install to talk to my self hosted AI instance.
It would be fun to compare it to a de-microsoted extension
Personally I’m a huge fan of the Alcoholics Anonymous understanding of “god” and I think it applies more widely.
In AA it is supposed to be A-religious so as to accommodate as many people as possible. To them, god is whatever higher power you need to put your faith into to do better. An entity who you are striving to make proud or you are asking for guidance or help, etc.
This genericized god idea kinda gives up the game to me as an atheist, but it doesn’t mean it’s bad. In fact it’s made me believe in god as an idea.
There are plenty of studies on “manifesting” goals and how saying out loud to yourself or to someone at all substantially increases your chance of succeeding in your goal. This is just prayer or a magic spell or whatever else you wanna call it. I call it a ritual.
The fact that god is a made up idea has been uncontested in my mind for eons, however the psychological power of a belief in god is new to me and makes me appreciate the systems of religion more (doesn’t excuse a lot of their bullshit).
A plug-in for what?
And why isn’t a normal video generation app/site fine?
I wanted an apartment with a balcony but they’re all $500+ more a month in rent then I’m already paying.
I mean you can always use the web version of office for 'free" with a Microsoft account. There’s a 100% chance your paper gets used to train AI but still
Not gonna convince me to play overwatch this way
But I am happy for them
Online book clubs are kind of a thing.
Welcome to Lemmy, just find a community and start chatting. If it’s dead/empty, start filling it.
I try to open myself up to people as best I can here and on Mastodon just because we’re pretty used to the algorithm TM deciding who we talk to or where we engage for a long time now and I don’t think we are collectively ready to have non-hostile “discussions” in that we just don’t know how to do it.
What’s been on your mind? If you don’t wanna share here try the casual conversations community. They might be better to receive you.
I took 5 years to consecutively not get a degree and I’m about to go back to finish 5 years later.
Yeah it sticks not graduating with the people you started with, but that really isn’t any more of a signifier of success or failure than graduating at all.
Sometimes things happen and at that point everyone is mature enough to but be a dick.
Couple things
Start applying for things you’re not sure and you know you aren’t qualified for. Often recruiters or HR people don’t actually know what the fuck the job needs and just sorta copies similar job titles recs. Once you’re able to talk to the actual hiring manager, then you can see if you’re a good culture fit and if they can give you some on the job training.
Get a job at something not really what you wanna do but feels related enough. For me, my big break into my career was working at a call center for a hospital. It was not IT related, but it got me office experience that I spun into IT experience.
Before ever game of classical chess I play over the board I coat my opponents pieces in DMT.
Eventually it gets absorbs through their skin and I can convince them it’s all a nightmare that only ends if they resign.
I call it the MK Ultra gambit
My last job had a massive wall of screens. And it was explicitly to impress government officials.
It had a news live stream playing (cycling between CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News), the weather, live camera feeds of both our on site and offsite DR data center, as well as live feed of our store room and basement (where all the cooling and power was routed). The screens also displayed all of our dashboards like nagios, Citrix, and Oracle. There was one that gave alerts if a system was down.
And this was all displayed on an array of 3 rows and 4 columns of 55 inch TVs using a chrome extension called “Revolver” to cycle through.
We actually only used like 3 of the total 20 rotating screens and it was way more efficient to have them running on my own 55" TV as a monitor just using power toys to give it a dedicated corner and then the rest could do emails and news.
BBC from a distant corner!
Oh no the white queen is getting blacked!
He brought a CUCK CHAIR it’s over folks!
Its how you can tell PDP fans weren’t paying attention. He promoted it a few times but it didn’t gain any traction and he abandoned it.
Or maybe it just didn’t help with the fascism allegations from the bridge moment and the Fiverr incidents since those all happened about the same time.
Hell, he had Ben Shapiro host an episode of LWIAY. Sure it wasn’t peak genocide apologizer we have now Benny Boy, but he was still a verifiable dick head grifter.
He’s also promoted the books of fascist talking heads like Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Steven Crowder through his book club.
There’s a reason the Christ Church shooter yelled “Subscribe to PewDiePie” besides being a topical meme.
Sick! I’ve added both to my list.
I’m almost done with “Tracers in the Dark”
Seems interesting. What did you think about it?
This is something I tell people all the time. It’s just as easy to troubleshoot on Linux as it is on Windows the biggest issue is that most people are just kinda innately aware of Windows troubleshooting by virtue of the fact that they’ve been doing it for so long. Linux is probably just as complicated skill wise, but most people just aren’t used to it yet.
And that’s especially true for gamers. If you’ve gone through the dance of tweaking BIOS settings or DDU removing drivers and reinstalling them, then you’re probably gonna do fine on Linux. The only difference is sometimes there won’t be a GUI you have to go hunt down. It will be like 3 commands someone has already written out for you that you copy/paste into the CLI. Which is WAY better in my opinion.
That’s crazy.
Anyways I’m gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.
