I went one year and six months. It was bad. I’m wishing you the best.

When faced with a firearm or a knife, any self respecting martial artist will tell you the one technique that will save your life.

Running the fuck away and or taking cover.

When it comes to hand to hand combat, understanding the dynamics of how to protect yourself and control the opposer like in Jiu Jitsu is very useful and can also potentially save your life.

But no, if they have a weapon of any kind, get the fuck out of there.

I’m not talking about nuclear war. I’m talking about the climate after a nuclear war - what the article and the headline is about. The implication of my comment is that there would be no people to worry about the climate because they’d all be dead on account of global thermonuclear war.

Yea, I don’t think we’d have to worry about it much though.

Yea Costco has great stuff, the kirkland liquor prices and quality are hard to beat too.

A user on Lemmy a while back (can’t recall their name) had said that when they get fast food fries, they don’t salt the fries, they salt the ketchup.

I will confirm that this is a fantastic idea because it makes every fry taste equally salted, and gives the salt a way to actually adhere to the fries instead of just ending up in the bottom of the container or on your table.

My own recommendation where I can’t believe more people don’t do it is buying no name/store brand stuff when getting groceries and supplies. I’m pretty sure a lot of people don’t do this because marketing has pushed them into thinking these are “inferior” or are not as good, but 7 times out of 10 the no name/store brand stuff is equal in quality or better while also being something like 20-40 percent cheaper. Just because something is different than the name brand stuff does not make it worse, just different. Like you DONT need a more expensive type of aluminum foil for example, the cheapest aluminum foil is identical in quality.

Impossible. The only actual discourse I think they have is to either ban 3d printers outright, require that filament/resin etc designed for these is made somehow traceable, or license and/or registrate the purchase and/or used of the printers/filaments.

Linux is as good as Linux is, just as Windows is as good as Windows is and MacOS is as good as it is.

All operating systems have their place, purpose, and use cases, so the question is subjective. Different OS’s are good or bad for different people, and different scenario’s which is why they all have a part of the market share.

MacOS has ease of use and excellent intercompatibility with other Apple products, and Windows has boatloads of compatible software and compatibility with Microsoft’s Active Directory domains in businesses.

What Linux has is cost effectiveness and true ownership and control.

At the moment most people prefer ease of use for home computing, but on a long enough timeline Linux will obtain this as well, just look at what Valve did with SteamOS and the steam deck when it comes to that. Making it easy to use there is, I suspect, one of the major reasons the steam deck as a device is so well reviewed, and partly why we have seen such an increase in market share recently I suspect.

So right now, most people probably prefer another OS because of ease of use, but at some point in the future, Linux will probably be holding all the cards. It just seems that those who develop the distributions are often tied up with other goals apart from ease of use for the common user in the contemporary, but eventually they will begin to tackle this goal as well.

Hell yea, glad you got it. I have my third interview at a software company later today, here’s hoping.

Networking/security is some really neat stuff, I have dabbled as I used to work doing systems stuff, but moved to robotics automations after that. See if you can get your new employer interested in paying a bit for you to get certs at some point (often if you bring it up that you want some cert, they might be interested in putting some percentage of money towards helping you get it), Network+ and those other Cisco certs are pretty sought after as I understand it and could definitely help progress your career.

Also welcome to the industry!

Thanks, uninstalled from app store and did this instead.

One is one thing and the other is another thing.

Ipod Classic, Silver, but without mods it can’t read FLAC I believe.

People like Arch because to many it feels more truly like your system than other distributions.

It isn’t that Arch is in some way more customizable than other distros, rather it’s that if there is a package on your Arch system, its probably there because it was your choice to put it there in the first place, and so the system can feel more representative of you given it only contains the things you want or need and nothing more from the get go.

The one where he talks about hot gluing corn flakes to your face, singing from the bowels of your lungs, and creeping rusty meat in reference to death metal is good.

What evidence is there that they don’t? If it’s because you don’t see people talking about shooting guns and wrastlin’ cattle in the Linux forums you visit, perhaps you have formed some stereotypes of people that you shouldn’t have.

I didn’t know this about Joplin, that’s pretty neat.

I think this is the more accurate take. I think the world at large is more likely headed toward a world in chains or world war 3 disaster scenario more so than anything.

Ads are generally acceptable so long as I’m not paying money to the service I’m using and seeing them anyway.

Television. I cannot understand why anyone would willingly pay money to be advertised to constantly.
