Thats why you join a web ring with your website.

All of that being said, I’m just saying it fucking sucks to continuously be a refugee, and what sucks about apps and companies and programs that end up selling out for a dollar is that if you don’t emmigrate to a new platform, you become nothing.

App and companies aren’t the only choice. Back in our internet roots you set up your own website to share your views. If you wanted real time chat we had telnet chat and later IRC. Your same telnet client worked on every server. Your browser was able to view every page.

What “Be yourself” means is: “Don’t pretend to be someone else because you think that will make you more appealing. It will likely show through that you’re not that other person and your attempts at deception will drive away the people you want to attract. Further, if you find that being your authentic self is something you are ashamed or embarrassed being, perform some introspection on what those things are about yourself you don’t like and take action to change on things you can. Examine rationally whether the thing you think is shameful is something you even have control over. For example, are you ashamed because you’re not tall? You have no control over that one. That is nothing to be ashamed of. Are you ashamed because you don’t have good hygiene? That one you DO have control over. If you don’t know how to correct that, ask for help and get to the place where you won’t be ashamed of your hygiene. You will ‘be yourself’ that is not as tall as you like, but with good hygiene.”

That’s a lot to say so it gets boiled down to “Be yourself”.

That isn’t pedantry. This is valuable information! Thanks for the correction.

Haibane Renmei,

You’re one of the few people I’ve heard talk about this one. It was a unique story and world and was very powerful to watch. I almost feel like it never happened because no one knows about it.

Yes to speed-of-light limitations for latency, but again, the military is already doing things while also firing precision weapons from the same platform halfway around the world. My guess is that the systems are mostly autonomous except the humans issue short term commands. Like:

• plane, turn left bearing 180.
• turning left bearing 180, my bearing is 180

"Oh 'tish…that’s French!

The 1990’s naming conventions are back baby!

• Greek gods
• James Bond villains
• colors
• incremental naming: server1, server1a, Copy_of_server1a, otherserver1, ServerA)

Transpacific flights would become Lord of the Flies for 19 hours. Whoever holds the Conch shell holds leadership of the plane.

Once that is proven they will reduce responsibilities for the single crew until the plane is fully automated.

Once the fully automated flight is trusted and proven they will remove the single pilot.

There’s a middle step isn’t there? Where there are real human pilots that are sitting at a remote location on the ground somewhere doing the actual flying. We have this with military drone pilots already. I have to imagine it would be far easier to implement this than full AI. You still get 70% of the benefit of “pilotless” flights because you don’t have to get the human geographically to the place the plane is flying.

Because American educational institutions are not and haven’t been about academia and learning for some time. It’s a good ol’ boys club you pay with daddy’s money or massive amounts of debt to be a part of, to give you a piece of paper you can use to virtue signal to other people who wasted similar amounts of money in the same place.

There are some of those, yes, but far more colleges and universities are NOT those than are.

Hiring in IT has been an eye opener, I actively distrust people who present their degree as their first and foremost point of hirability; because they’re usually useless.

I do IT hiring as well. I don’t fault the younger folks that lead with their degree. They’ve been told all of their lives how important it is to get one and the it will make them stand out from their peers. I’ll agree with you however that a degree by itself does not make someone competent at the subject matter.

When I’m dealing with recent grads, I’ll ask for things outside of the degree coursework that deals with problem solving or demonstrations of conceptual knowledge (as oppose to rote). Lots of them fall flat when put to these question, some, however, shine. Where a degree (any degree) is useful is that it usually means they can write decently enough. They know at least some etiquette and professionalism. Hopefully it also means they know how to look something up, which really is the key skill of IT.

I have zero knowledge in this area, but would a full distillation system make this water potable? I did a quick google search and found systems claiming 12 gallons of distilled water per day for around $3k. I imagine there are also larger capacity systems that exist at some pricepoint.

We also have equally if not even more complete content for Opossums here on Lemmy.

Seriously though, a poemforyoursprog would be welcome addition. In the same vein shittywatercolor. Maybe even some shittymorph “In 1985 mankind…”. Nah, scratch that last one.

In that vein, I’m curious why Canada is still adhering to any aspects of the USMCA that benefit the USA and not Canada. Intellectual Property restrictions was one of the main sacrifices that Canada made. If the benefits of tariff free trade isn’t being respected, why is Canada still enforcing the IP restrictions? It seems like a good place for Canada to make up lost revenue from US imposed tariff.

I believe you. I wasn’t really trying to add any kind of credibility to China’s actions in this, but simply explaining why China wouldn’t be fulfilling their need (or lack of) for beef from Canada.

This has nothing to do with who is liable for what.

Thats my point. The proposal here is not taking any responsibility for liability. It is proposing to give away the benefits of ownership to workers (of companies that many not have the capacity for it to be given away), without those workers also having any kind of responsibility to keep the company going.

I don’t want to steer you wrong. My CompTIA Server+ cert is probably 20 years old now (My A+ cert is 30 years old this year!). 15 to 20 years ago I used the Sybex books and I always found them a good source for cert study. It looks like you’re reading today’s Sybex book. So they’ve gone downhill. I’ll let others chime in with more recent experience.

If you have any IT questions you need answers for I’d be happy to help for your study.
