Depends what you mean with a job in tech. If you want to work as technical problem solver or programmer, then it’s very useful, almost required.

A better question is… Is Lemmy better than reddit in some way so it’s worth for users to switch to it?

I like that it’s decentralized, but the largest instances seem to have moderation policies that are very similar to reddit.

It will be used for ads…as usual…

I have an edge 30 pro and I’m super happy with it. There is no bloatware at all, default android experience, and great battery time.

I tend to recommend Motorola to people who care about those things.

The performance of phones are almost irrelevant these days for most people. What matters is how they look, their battery time and if they have a good user experience without forced shitty apps.

Being slim is nice too because why not. :)

Not warm at all except when charging with the super charger. This is for the edge 30 though, maybe 40 or 50 have different thermals since they have more powerful cpu.

I’m currently looking at edge 50 as a replacement but not sure which one to get. But not the ultra, very expensive and not worth it.

If you are going to be upset about other people like this, you will be in a state of constant anger.

It’s not your responsibility to control what people do or think. My advice is to let those people be who they are, while you focus on being the best you can be.

Keep the people you vibe with in your life, and let the others go. Meet your grandfather and just observe him. This is life showing you someone who is hateful, from the sound of it. It’s just an example of who not to be, that’s all it is. Learn from that and remain calm.

You can do it. :)

If you are in the right state of mind, you can even smile at horrible things he says, because it’s just about him, not anyone else. You will start to view him as someone funny, like a child that messes up because they don’t know better.

Don’t fight people you don’t agree with. Just say what you think, and leave. No need to argue at all.

Can you run this in a distributed manner, like with kubernetes and lots of smaller machines?

1984 , 3 days ago

Aws serverless is a scam also. Lambda with step functions just to run some functions in order without having to scale servers?

Its just ridiculous how much complexity it adds, and the performance is abysmal compared to local function calls as well. It’s like younger devs have never written a fast application without aws.

Lols. :)

Nvidia programmers strike again…

It’s about normalizing survellience, and the article also says this as an opinion further down in the text.

Everyone can see that we are going towards the society in black mirror, with social scores, and people being punished for not complying with rules of any kind. I’m glad I’m kind of old because the future will suck.

1984 , 6 days ago

I find it ridiculous that humans can’t decide to end their life if they want to. It’s crazy that the state has to allow it.

All the cloud services are built on top of free software, and big tech just built user interfaces on top of them.

That wasn’t the intended purpose of course, to support billionaries becoming multi billionaries. So maybe a percentage of the profits should go back to the makers.

This sounds very much like typical psy ops information to be honest. Trying to paint a picture of someone as a degenerate.

I bet he was looking at some porn the same day, as some people do. Nothing special.

Maybe in the heads of trans people but not really. I understand it’s easy to think everyone hates you, but if you believe that, you are no longer open to seeing the alternative and you see what you expect everywhere.

You can exist just fine but for some reason, it doesn’t seem enough to exist. Quite often trans people feel they have to showcase their sexuality, instead of just chilling and being cool with it like everyone else.

1984 , 6 days ago

That’s true. I have no idea about the size of the group.

1984 , 6 days ago

It’s just based on the trans people I have met so it’s highly subjective. For example, I saw two trans people on vacation in Italy wearing dresses, tons of makeup, tight clothes, open chests, and walking in a line like fashion models, looking straight ahead as into a camera.

That’s what I mean when I say “showcase their sexuality”. They are proud trans people who wants everyone to notice them.

I’m sorry to hear you are getting hate. Nobody deserves to be hated for how they look. But at the same time, we live in a extreamly superficial world. Quite an awful world if you ask me.

I don’t think the Linux culture is very similar to the windows culture. At least for me personally, I wouldn’t use crowdstrike and let them install whatever they want into my environment.

Maybe it’s just me.

1984 , 7 days ago

Windows 7 was my last windows. Since then it’s been Linux on all machines. It was easy to see where Microsoft were going. And they will continue to go down this route.

When you run windows, it’s not your computer.

I have a synology NAS with two disks in raid config, where I store backups from the other machines over the home network. So one disk can fail without issues. And I backup the Nas to a hetzner storage box as well. They are pretty cheap. :)

The stock is doing good so there must be plenty of people thinking Netflix is essential. And I guess it is if you have no tech skills at all.

1984 , 8 days ago

I think both are fine for beginners. Both are easy to use and can be good looking.

I think it’s more likely that Google knows that they will be under attack by a lot of hackers once they show their true colors in the future. I think they will represent the tech that will control all of us, using AI, robotics, implants and so on.

With close ties to national security and no morals, they will be first to implement ID controls on the web as well.

It’s not so much disinformation that is the problem, it’s the ad industry itself.

1984 , 11 days ago

One thing about capitalism: companies are never done extracting higher profits. Doesn’t matter if users pay for YouTube or whatever, Google will want to increase profits next year anyway.

1984 , 11 days ago

Like downvotes? :) It’s a good idea to not care so much about those.

1984 , 11 days ago

Cool. I’m a ordinary white man, not special at all.

1984 , 11 days ago

It’s a good idea but I who will decide what is misinformation or not? And about bots… I think the web is doomed. Ai will make sure everything is just bot content in the end.

1984 , 11 days ago

I have also never even considered taking my socks off when I get home. But if I lived in a warm country, I would.

It’s very sexy to see nipples through clothes. I don’t know why but it’s just much hotter than seeing bare breasts.

Maybe people ask you to wear a bra because it’s making guys get distracted.

1984 , 10 days ago

You can’t ask guys to not get distracted. It’s not a choice they are making.

1984 , 9 days ago

Won’t happen :) And disagree about the weak mind as well. Has nothing to do with mind, it’s hormones. Ask teenage boys to have their hands on their cover and exercise their willpower… :)

1984 , 9 days ago

Disagree, and you see the same thing in women when there is an attractive guy around.

This political correct bullshit trying to make people think it’s wrong to be attracted to someone is just ridiculous. :)

1984 , 9 days ago

I can also play that game. Not at any point did I say to be drooling rotting animals. You are the one using those word words along with words like eye-fucking…

I think you have a twisted view of sexuality my man.

1984 , 12 days ago

Because of their modern and huge airforce and army, along with all the big tech companies, and Hollywood.

The PR image of America is quite nice. The reality, not that great.

1984 , 12 days ago

It’s OK, I sort my garbage to make a better world. Evens it out.

1984 , 12 days ago

Golf clap for the man putting two words together in the right order.

These are the guys competing for US presidency? The real leaders of the country are laughing their ass off right now.

1984 , 12 days ago

No there is always someone who causes problems, and other people to react to it and gossip and talk about it.

I’ve had entire hourly slack meetings about what someone said.

People expect the workplace to be fair, and to be treated with respect, and some people don’t care about what people expect. They treat people badly if they feel they can get away with it.

1984 , 12 days ago

At work, it can be difficult, specially if it’s someone you have to work with.

The adult way is to have a talk about it and figure out what’s causing the issue.

The childish way is to talk shit about the person with others and gather support for you being right and the other person being a weirdo.

Most people go with the childish way since it’s easier and doesn’t require courage.

1984 , 11 days ago

Yeah I don’t think what I said applies to 100% of the working population. :) I have one guy at work that I’m also avoiding contact with. He is a sociopath according to all the classic signs. So some common sense is always needed.

1984 , 12 days ago

Exactly. If it was possible to travel from the future, we would never see a failed attempt since they would try again. Unless it was intended to be a failed attempt. :)

1984 , 12 days ago

Yeah I guess.

Games are manipulating you and making you feel happy about progress that happens inside a game that isnt even real. But it works.

Real life is designed to be debt slavery, and for you to constantly run faster to get an education, a good job and a family. My girlfriend feels she is getting enough satisfaction in life from our kid and her gardening interest. I’m not feeling that way personally, and I wish there was something more exciting to look forward to, because life can be pretty boring if you don’t feel excited about work and family.

I feel like games are a way to forget the boring real life for a while. But they are clearly manipulative.

Real life is boring because there is no feeling of any meaning to what we do. If we were living in a star trek society where you could be proud of humanity and what we are accomplishing, it would be easier to feel like we are doing good. But there is just no higher purpose to any of our current activities. So it’s boring.

Human leaders are super primitive as well, and just depressing to watch. They are the worst of people, but being advertised as leaders.

I think it would be very awkward, because then you need to look for the right button, move your mouse to it, click it, and then start looking for the next button, click it and so on.

For simple scenarios where you just need to click install, the gui can be great, but I think it’s not good enough for most commands with flags and options.

Your question failed.
