Yup but that would require the true ruling class to see their blood spilled to get it. Progressive people have tried and continue to try to push UBI throughout the world. In Canada alone we have had recent experiences both on the Federal and Provincial level. They intentionally get hamstrung or directly shut down to poison any potential results.

The longer we go without UBI the worse it’s going to get. Christ look at youth unemployment globally let alone the general struggles youth are dealing with that didn’t exist even 20 years ago. We need UBI yesterday but we are still struggling to get people to even entertain the concept of it.

It used to be free with less of a barrier to entry than postgres

I just bought this for the first time last week. It’s now done. Toum is like a spiritual awakening

The other move is to broaden. If you’re a backend engineer who’s always avoided frontend, now’s the time - agents can bridge the gap while you learn. If you’re frontend-only, lean into backend, devops, infrastructure. The engineers I see thriving are the ones who can own an entire problem end-to-end, not just their slice of it. The generalist travel agents got wiped out, but the generalist engineers - the ones who can move across the stack - are more valuable than ever.

Anecdotally this is what is happening and I see it the 15 years i have been at my current job and the 25 I’ve been in Corporate IT. As budgets shift the focus is on people in IT understanding more and more while automation (LLM) taking more and more. You are expected to be a full stack dev IMHO. It could be python. It could be java. But you’re expected to know it all.

Yes. Pwd change should only be on evidence of compromise assuming you have made a secure password.

Security is all theatre. When NIST says make secure passwords and never change them but your fortune 500 infosec policy tells you to rotate your password every 30 days?

LOL

I have win11 on a work surface laptop pro with 16gb and I’m consistently at 15+GB used. This is corporate bloat. How do I know? I have a personal surface pro 6 with win11 and 16gb and it runs like a breeze.

Corporate bloat is such bullshit.

Wtf? Lol

Outside of America many countries have a strong sense of pride especially when something is overtly representing them and their culture.

As a Canadian if they made this game with hockey and toques I’d damn well expect the prime minister to applaud them when they won game of the year too.

I don’t play JRPGS and never played metal gear. I played Clair because I heard of the sekiro type mechanics and was interested.

I loved the fight mechanics and I’m sure there was a good story in there if I cared but one thing that really grinded my gears was the goddamn cutscenes. Not only that but the incessant cut scene that leads into another cut scene that leads into another cut scene. Seriously I spent half the game skipping cut scenes.

Oooh I like you!

TNI is an amazing album my cousin is a huge FLA fan and his fav song is The Blade.

For me, I’m with you on Hard Wired. I love Sex Offender as my favourite song though

FLA without Rhys though… Miss me with that shit.

Ok I’m judging you now.

1. Best fla album
2. Best fla song

😜

Yes and the point being spending 300$+ to eliminate 10 minutes a day is absolutely hilarious.

Disagree. My experience is they still don’t get everything, can’t do furniture or corners well or under furniture. They’re stupid. They’re expensive and if you really can’t spend 10 minutes or less to vacuum your house daily or every other day it speaks volumes on the type of person you are.

I stand by what I said. More money than brains.

The point is it’s stupid and people who want to automate 10 minutes out of their day are equally stupid

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I have a standard vacuum. I spend about 10 minutes a day vacuuming. Miele has no telemetry whatsoever lol

Killer Mike get off Lemmy! Lol

I’d elaborate. Experiment with drugs. Youth is to experiment do it safely.

I’m 48. I’m going to expend many of you here are white men much younger than me.

Some words if advice.

1. Have kids young. You will never be ready. There is an old expression, “In for a penny. In for a pound.”. Either you like the idea of kids or not. If you do, don’t wait just do it.

2. Romance. African women are 🥰. If they’re part of the Diaspora and like me you tend to be more if an introvert the juxtaposition can work amazing.

3. Don’t forget the forest for the trees. Yes the world is on fire. Yes things are increasingly bleak and hopeless. Enjoy life. You have family and friends and they are still important and mean something. Cherish that.

4. Everyone makes mistakes. What’s important is do you learn from them and how do you recover?

5. Comparison is the thief of joy.

6. Be different. Be contrary. Challenge. If everyone jumps turn around and look at the person telling you to jump but don’t do it blindly.

A fun reminder that during the pandemic, before AI, there was a backlog in new cars because all the crucial chips were unavailable due to an increase in bullshit like wifi enabled toasters.

It has nothing to do with AI. Consumers are asking for this shit and companies are delivering.
