I don’t, it’s strictly better than renting

I am a tech consumer and enthusiast first. I am a corporate shill sellout second. I wish for bad practices in the tech community to die, even if it’s my own company doing it.

My concern as an engineer is that the product gets made well. I have no say or control over how the business cretins and marketing scumbags decide to destroy the company through terrible unethical practices like charging SaaS for completely self-contained software.

The short term view is that you need to keep a company afloat. Businesses should fail if they deliver products in awful ways. Yes, if the company fails, I will lose my job, and that is okay. It would be through no fault of my own, or really even the customers who wouldn’t pay for my company’s product. It would be the fault of the business decisions that were made. And the product landscape would then open up after my company’s failure. For example, if Adobe would finally fucking die then we may actually see better products on the PDF, and photo/video editing market. No more monopoly on sub-par creative cloud products.

The more realistic long term view is that software engineers will be okay if their company fails. The overwhelming majority are smart, get paid extremely well, and exist in a field that needs their manpower. They will be able to find a new job much easier than other fields. The tech community will not be okay long-term if bad companies cannot fail.

I am a programmer, and I get paid whether or not the product is bought. Shovel your dogshit somewhere else.

He announced that he was done updating the game a few times now, and would start working on Terraria 2, but the sequel fell through afaik

Ask your company to pay for the certs. At best you get free certs and can then leave them and make more money somewhere. At worst they say no.

Going from zero certs to getting my Sec+ landed me a better job with a new company and nearly doubled my income. (Cloud architecture engineer). Can’t speak to any other certs.

I give OP the bipolar pass

Never hurts either

I wish Lemmy was more entertaining, and not just a million Linux articles wearing a trenchcoat

Cultivate a culture where you would never require a counter revolution, where the least fortunate people’s needs are met so they don’t need to kill people to thrive.

For every hour of work/coding I do, there is probably 4 to 5 hours of waiting for shit to automatically compile, fetch, build, release, apply, get reviewed, approved, and deployed. The downtime is immense, I spend it helping other people with shit or planning company potlucks (I don’t work for Microsoft).

Yeah just like kids don’t watch porn before 18, right

Highschool in hicktown, our salty freak of a gym teacher would let girls stay inside and walk laps.

Boys go outside to play whatever sport, or sometimes go to the tiny wrestling room for dodgeball, and it’d be shirt v skins. Usually he’d pick the fat kids to be skins cuz they needed more “motivation”.

Weird to me that people think shirts v skins is fake when there’s way weirder shit schools do to kids. We had our biology teacher take the class to his barn down the road and help shear his alpacas for extra credit. Like, school staff can do whatever the hell they want, and kids will just say “okay” if they don’t know any better.

It’s hard to find an email service that doesn’t ask for a phone number now a days. Even shit ass Proton mail does it now

“Random YouTuber”

Chris Titus has been a leader in the IT field prior to YouTube for longer than you’ve probably been alive

His work in this case discovered that windows has made Recall a dependency for file explorer, and disabling it in windows is not the same as removing it from your system.

I spent years running, and it was dirty ass every single time.

I’m convinced runners high is a myth, people lie about loving running, and cardio was a psyop cooked up by the devil. Sprinting is pain, long runs are pain, indoor, outdoor, in groups and alone. It’s all pain.

It’s cool to like how my body looks though

“AI Wars” is likely in reference to big tech companies in real life fighting each other for dominance over the generative AI space. Meta’s AI vs Google’s Gemini vs OpenAI’s ChatGPT etc …

To me this comic reads as if a personified company AI was actually at war and killing enemy AIs. Except the AI that got shot was secretly a human in disguise
