What do you recommend to find a private tracker? A while back, I tried to find one, but none of them were available for new users. Granted that I haven’t used torrents in a while.

Gender affirming surgeries, blood rituals to Baphomet, same thing.

He’s a grifter, of course he will vote for someone that will make grifting easier.

The issue, as always, is that Plex started to put free existing features behind a paywall to squeeze more money out of their client base instead of adding something and charging for it.

VC money came in and now the VC wants to cash in on the investment.

Tales as old as men. Corpos aren’t your friends and the processes are there to placate employees and then fire them.

If the apartment/house layout is good for the roomba, it is a great tool. It doesn’t replace vacuuming and floor washing, but it does reduce the dirtness on the floor.

Not OP but I can share my journey through my career.

Depends on where you are in the world and your work ethic.

I was a terrible student with a hard time understanding harder maths (due to my schooling, but that is something specific to my region), and I was still able to graduate with a 3/4.3 score. It was a lot of hard work that I wasn’t prepared to do due to my work ethic. I had to learn to be at least decent fast and the first year was brutal.

My experience is that university is a lot harder than the work after university. But the corporate world can be soul crushing. In big corpos, you usually do the same part of a process where as during university, you do a lot of interesting and varied stuff.

My electrical engineering program was generalist with each semester being a different domain of electrical engineering and me being interesting in embedded electronics. So doing a semester of power transmission lines was brutal because I wasn’t that organised and didn’t like the courses.

Society tend to romanticize engineering, but there is a lot of busywork and project management and you get caught in administrative bullshit just like any other job (ask a software engineer thoughts on stand-ups and agile and be ready to hear horror stories).

But, if you really like engineering, there are those moments of pure engineering that makes you forget all the bullshit around and make the career worthwhile.

So life rambling aside, engineering is a worthwhile career. It is not an easy path, but the work is manageable though sometime overwhelming. Treat university like a 9-5 job with some overtime and you’ll do fine.

I didn’t have to worry about the financial side of things because I live a place where school is cheap and student financial aid is plentiful. So keep that in mind when making your decision because I cannot comment on that part.

When I have to use a Windows machine for whatever reason, the first thing I do is to install Chocolatey so that I can have a decent package manager.

So back to cable packages. Fucking dumb

Tired of the constant pop ups in windows 10. The constant upselling of their product.

An OS shouldn’t get in the way of what you are doing and Windows was always popping up some bullshit.

Employers can go suck a big fat cock.

If the enployee can communicate with their managers and co-worker in English when needed and talk in an other language when they talk between them, there’s nothing wrong.

Lemmy is a social media after all, and we have to assume that what we write is public.

Lemmy is great because many instances allow people to create accounts without an email, so you can create burner accounts if you want.

This isn’t an oversight. If you aren’t comfortable with the coversations you are participating in or the upvote/downvote you make, you either don’t participate or you create a burner account for that.

If you stick to popular free software, the jank is limited.

The Linux userspaces have a lot of enthusiastic people that create their own software and share it, and thus it seems like there is lot of janky stuff (because there is).

It feels like Windows has been captured by corporations and so the market is competitive. There isn’t much space for enthusiast developpers to tackle a different vision of a popular software.

So yeah, I agree with you, lots of janky software in Linux, but that’s the beauty of it IMO. If you stick to popular softwares, the jank is somewhat equivalent to Windows.

You’ve used Windows for so long that you don’t remember how it was when you first started using it.

This isn’t different than what you are doing with Linux. The flow gets better and better and you will acquire the experience needed to navigate the issues. It takes time, that’s all.

I know that already, I’m fine with what I said.

My comment was misguided because it didn’t take the US social context into account.

You can’t say it, but I can though.

Categorising Palestine Action as a terrorist group is ultra dumb.

Same, and I use portainer to manage my docker compose stacks.

I can bring down a container without bringing down the whole stack of services.

No we shouldn’t. Anyone can create an instance and scrape whatever data.

Assume that all the posts and comment you make are public and linked to your real identity and don’t say things you wouldn’t say in person.

It’s a pretty simple concept.

It’s not a call for violence, so that’s cool beans

Yeah, I opened the website thinkint it would be the github list with a better search, but it’s 95% AI crap
