It’s one of the browsers I use depending on what I’m doing online.

This is what happens when you attack the person who spearheaded the project. I’m still letting my Patreon donation stand.

You’re fucked you should give up. That was sarcasm.

You’re fine, friend. I know the feeling. I dropped out of high school when some credits weren’t gonna transfer and I was gonna graduate late. I got my GED and started college classes during the second semester of my senior year. Guess what? I didn’t finish that either. I work in tech, where you can be self-taught and make a nice living; that isn’t true for most industries, I’m just saying there’s no requirement that we approach education as a cookie cutter absolute.

You know who else is graduating late? People your age who took a year off to travel abroad. People who had tuition struggles. People who fell on hard times and had to take time off. People who had a family member get sick and they had to care for them. Literally tons of people.

You’re frustrated and that’s valid. But it’s really a very small issue in the grand scheme of your life. You’re also at an age where things like that feel more important than they really are. Keep your head down. Study. Use the extra time this summer to try to get some experience at an internship or work on some way of furthering your knowledge in your field so you can be first out of the gate when you graduate. Get a tutor if you think that will help. You got this.

Broadcom are dicks.

Similarly, users online have reported receiving cease-and-desist letters even though they haven’t issued updates since losing VMware support. One user on Spiceworks’ community forum reported receiving such a letter even though they migrated off of VMware and to Proxmox.

I switched to proxmox last summer and found it quite nice.

There are a couple of downvotes, but this is a valid comment. It’s considered good etiquette to demonstrate that some effort has been made to solve an issue when asking for guidance online.

Why not use Clonezilla?

My gf was finishing a semester before she was to move out to California with me. I awoke to a butt-dial voicemail of her dry-humping a guy. She tried to say it wasn’t what it was. I transferred the audio to my computer and sent it to her (online, but in 2002, so I think it still applies to the question cause we didn’t have voip and such). She couldn’t defend it. I never spoke to her again.

I’m gonna have to endorse this because you’ve already proven that it works.

Good for you! Don’t let stigma keep you from checking yourself in if things get too bleak. It could save your life. But if you have a plan of care that both you and your caregiver agree sounds workable, it’s great that you can avoid interrupting your life.

I have attempted suicide once and thought about it for a lot of my life. I’m proof that it’s possible to turn things around. I believe in you. Good luck!

I’ve been in a similar situation (only mine was that I’d chosen to go my own route for six years or so and the employment gap was the primary issue). I just wanted to encourage you not to give up. @[email protected] already gave great advice, so I have nothing more to offer. Keep trying. You’ll get there. Good luck!

I believe in your ability to get the help that you need. I wish you well.

When I was in the third grade (in Tennessee), I said “Oh my god,” and a girl said she’d tell the teacher I said a swear word. I didn’t understand and pushed back. She explained the “lord’s name in vain,” and that just wasn’t a thing in our house. I got pretty offended. I’m still offended at that stupid shit.

Fuck god, hail satan, gimme a beer.

I would mainline Linux if I wasn’t a Mac user. I definitely use it all over the place for the homelab.

TIL.

I was unemployed or slightly self-employed for about six years. It made it almost impossible to find a job. No tech company would call me with such a huge gap in employment. I was trying to get manual labor jobs and no one would call there either. There was a FAANG on my resume, so they knew I would split at the first opportunity to get back into tech. It was horrible.

Everything changed after I took a menial labor temp gig upgrading iPhones for staff at a hospital. I hated the work. But after four months doing that, I was employable again. I did a phone interview for a Linux sysadmin job at a fintech company and was supposed to do the in-person interview soon after. An IT company (Managed Service Provider) offered me a job before I could interview again and I just jumped on it. Over time, I came to like the work. More than what I did on the tent-pole product at the FAANG. I still work IT because it’s more rewarding to me and it’s easy and I have an independent source of income so I can afford to make less.

Get a temp gig. They’re easier to get because their disposable. It’ll help make the gap in employment fade into the background of your resume. I’m pretty sure you’ll have more opportunities after. All of this was through LinkedIn.

This seems great!

Ending a case that electrified punctuation pedants, grammar goons and comma connoisseurs, Oakhurst Dairy settled an overtime dispute with its drivers that hinged entirely on the lack of an Oxford comma in state law.

Oxford Comma Dispute Is Settled as Maine Drivers Get $5 Million

It looks angry.

For it. Its lack of use in a union contract was a factor in a court ruling some years back. That’s when it went from pedantry to real-world consequence for me. Something was ruled similar to A and B rather than A or B.

Oxford Comma.
