My mom was a Special Education teacher in NJ for 40 years and topped out at 89K/year. 12 years out of college I was making $110k/year working in IT.

Kansas Is About to Pass the Most Extreme Age Verification Law Yet (www.404media.co)

An age verification bill in Kansas that is the most extreme in the country has passed both House and Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk. The bill will make sites with more than 25 percent adult content liable to heavy fines if they don’t verify that visitors are over the age of 18. It also calls being gay...

“Are you over 18?”

“Yep!”

My friend, who comes from a pretty wealthy family, was all excited when he told me that he spent like 15 grand on his wife’s engagement ring.

I also love hearing ads from a local jeweler that keeps shitting on lab grown diamonds, because he sells natural diamonds, and is most likely losing money. He was like "Lab grown diamonds don’t hold their value, but natural ones do! In order to “prove” this I’ll give you a lab grown diamond if you buy a natural one! "

Steven Singer?

Yeah, like I’d expect that to be a thing down here in Miami, when I think of bikinis I don’t think of Washington (DC or the state itself).

I was raised Lutheran, I went to Sunday School pretty much every Sunday for about 15 years, and church at least once or twice a month. I never believed in any of it but I liked a lot of the people I met in my youth group, some of them didn’t even live in my city or go to my school so that was the only time I got to see them. We went on trips all over the east coast US.

I stopped going when I was 19 and moved away for college. I lost touch with most of those people, which kinda sucks. I’m 38 now and used to go to church with my mom on the “big” holidays, but since I’ve been living in another state the past 5 years, my brother goes with her. I’m actually leaving tomorrow to go home for Easter for a week.

Trump’s Truth Social is now a public company. Experts warn its multibillion-dollar valuation defies logic | CNN Business (edition.cnn.com)

Trump Media & Technology Group, the owner of struggling social media platform Truth Social, is began its long-delayed journey as a public company at Tuesday’s opening bell under the ticker symbol “DJT.”...

Oh absolutely. They buy into his bullshit products because they think it will make them money, but in the end they’re worse off than when they started.

pete_the_cat ,

Of course he made the stock symbol his initials…

pete_the_cat ,

Literally everything is about him.

Nope

Didn’t the Jaguar have a gigantic controller with like 15-20 buttons?

Should I learn Docker or Podman?

Hi, I’ve been thinking for a few days whether I should learn Docker or Podman. I know that Podman is more FOSS and I like it more in theory, but maybe it’s better to start with docker, for which there is a lot more tutorials. On the other hand, maybe it’s better to straight up learn podman when I don’t know any of the...

I had an interview the other day and was surprised to hear that The University of Miami is actually using Nix for about 16 of their machines. I haven’t used Nix yet, but thanks to everyone talking about it I could tell them the benefits of using it haha

pete_the_cat ,

Yep, a multi-billion dollar tech company, known for the “innovation”, was stumped by cross-platform support. I totally believe that. 🤣

pete_the_cat ,

Yeah, people can throw out hate for the royals, but I’m just thinking about her, as a person, mother and wife. She’s only in her early 40s and her kids are young.

It’s scary that we let these people hold positions in our government…

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones (www.theverge.com)

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

pete_the_cat ,

Lol nice

pete_the_cat ,

Same, I work in IT, guess I’m fucked, and not in the good way

pete_the_cat ,

Damn, you got in on like the ground floor haha

I attempted to install RedHat 5 in the late 90s, but I had no idea what I was doing since I was like 12 or 13 and we had just gotten our first computer. I never got around to actually using Linux until a few years later with Ubuntu 5.04

pete_the_cat ,

I’m very confused as well. Some universities do have ridiculous requirements though. I was planning on being a veterinarian and had to take politics classes. I switched to IT and was required to take general chemistry.

pete_the_cat ,

I’ve straight up ripped code from StackOverflow that worked… But I had no idea why or how it worked 😂 I taught myself Go and I’m decent at it, one of my coworkers was a former professional programmer who knew C and could fumble his way through Go. I later told him I had no idea what some of the code did because I did the old copy and paste and he just said “I knew you did” 😂

pete_the_cat ,

I get if that’s what you want to get into, but if I was aiming to be a Linux System Engineer (like I currently am), I’d never chemistry.

pete_the_cat ,

It’s a valiant idea, but it will never take hold. People won’t want to “pay money” for something that is free, even if it is to support something.

How easy is deepfake now? I just watched a show and I want to change the actor to an old timey one. NOT PORN. Just a cool show I think would be suited to this actor and I can't get it out of my head.

For the few who want to know the show and the actor, it’s “Monsieur Spade,” an AMC produced take on Sam Spade post-America, retired and living in France. I think it’s really well done, and Clive Owen does a great job of playing San Spade but…I REALLY want to replace his face and voice with Bogart’s....

pete_the_cat ,

It’s totally not!

Apparently their market is recovering alcoholics that want to feel like they’re holding a beer can when they’re out with friends.

I’ve heard that their market is recovering alcoholics.

Jurassic Bark is probably the only episode I rarely watch, and we all know why.

Fuck Lyft. I stopped using them after I dropped my phone in a ride and it took the idiot customer service agent FORTY FIVE MINUTES to reach out to the driver. They kept asking me to login to my account to verify it was me, but I couldn’t because it kept sending the 2FA code to my phone… Which I didn’t have. The agent wasn’t able to comprehend this.

pete_the_cat ,

90 days to have someone to come fix the damn thing, absolutely ridiculous.

pete_the_cat ,

I’m still on Plasma5, so I can’t really help, but are you using Wayland or X11? I’d say switch to the other and see if it still happens.

pete_the_cat ,

Not only do you get to be surrounded by penguin shit for 5 months, there’s no running water so you have to pee/crap in a bucket/outhouse, and they said the only time you can shower is when passing cruise ships let you. Also, due to the terrain, you basically can’t go anywhere. Finally, there’s practically no phone or internet connection either! Sounds like paradise! Sign me up!

pete_the_cat ,

This is why Wi-Fi is annoying, I’ll take a wired connection over Wi-Fi any day.

Those things were always a twisted mess hahaha

Weight Lifting: How are you supposed to know the weights of unlabled things?

I started lifting weights (again) and accurately tracking my progress (I bought a “cheap” workout and weight loss plan, which requires a lot of data so you can see your progress (or regress)). When bench pressing and doing squats on the (Cybex) Smith Machine I had assumed that the bar weighed 45 pounds like a free bar does...

pete_the_cat OP ,

Thanks! I’ve seen people do that, and I did it as well on the Lat Press machine but couldn’t do it with the Shoulder Press machine since the stack is enclosed in a shroud 😑

I figured progress at any rate is what really matters.

pete_the_cat OP ,

Thanks, but I live in an apartment complex so I don’t have access to any tools or space to do it in haha

pete_the_cat OP ,

Thanks, the gym I go to is in my apartment complex so there’s no staff to ask, I tend to just search Google for the answers.

I switched from doing weighted step-ups to a single leg press on the machine and was like “Holy fuck this is hard” and then saw that the sled weighed over a hundred pounds.

pete_the_cat OP ,

I’ve definitely noticed that there isn’t a correlation between free weights and the machines. Doing an Overhead Dumbbell Shoulder Press I was struggling at 20 pounds after about 9 reps, but with the Shoulder Press machine I had no problem doing 50 pounds.

pete_the_cat OP ,

It’s Built With Science, everything is laid out for you. It takes all the guesswork out of what you should be doing. I’m a computer geek, physical fitness isn’t my area of interest, so it’s nice to have someone be like “Here’s the two sets of exercises that you should be alternating between for the next 3 months, and then switch to these exercises. Track your progress or regress in this spreadsheet we made for you. Proper form and explanation are provided in YouTube videos and Slide sets. Also there’s a spreadsheet to help you Cut and then Bulk.”

It was like $120, and there’s a lot of content.

pete_the_cat OP ,

Yeah, I switched after one arm gave out with the barbells and I tweaked a muscle in my neck.

pete_the_cat OP ,

Thanks!
