No, I’m not.

As for social acceptance I like my personal space. Don’t care what you do as long as I can opt out.

Shutdown -P now in the wrong terminal window and a server at the other side of the country went down.

Electrical work and blacked out the entire 500m level in the mine.

Turns out you can make up any arbitrary distinctions and they just start existing. The question is if they severe any useful purpose.

I can make zodiac 2.0 exist by adding shoe size to distinguish between regular aquarius and aquarius without platypus (above EU 42 is with). So now the Zodiac 2.0 exists with the same predictive power as 1.0.

Exercise diligence when putting your shoes on, pay special attention to the laces or you will suffer great sorrow.

zxqwas ,

Office work 2-3 days.

The others have been mentioned. Not quite daily but I’ll occasionally get paid to do CFD simulations.

FreeCAD, salome, openFOAM, paraview.

Dabbled in it since 2006. About 2012 i had problems with my network card on windows, flipped out and just installed Linux on my main home computer and have not used windows at home since.

Started with Ubuntu and it’s flavors, recently had problems with snap packages, flipped out and installed the first non Ubuntuoid distro that promised an easy install so I could get back to whatever I was doing at the time. I currently have Manjaro at home.

zxqwas ,

Some games don’t run (runs badly) on Linux.

I have to work on a windows computer so I’m regularly reminded of the horrors that is W11.

zxqwas ,

In my case it was because Ubuntu broke on me for whatever reason (and the threat of snap packages looming).

I did not feel like putting anymore effort into getting the computer back to working so I just switched to something not Ubuntuoid at semi random to anything that promised an easy installation.

A year later and it’s still working. I’ll notify you when it breaks so you can tell me “I told you so”.

zxqwas ,

For the same reason people hate the Nazi trolls. Extreme left or right does not matter. Normal people don’t want that garbage.

zxqwas ,

I don’t.

I acknowledge the sense of community and belonging a religion can bring but I find the entire notion of believing in anything supernatural to be absurd.

The shortcut to activate them is active by default and windows will display a notification when you press shift 5 times (I think) asking you about it. That happens a lot when you play some games.

Easy enough to turn off the notification though. So not sure what OP is fussing about.

Question to those not in the USA, and who have lived outside the USA.

I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...

zxqwas ,

Sweden: you can apply for a licence from the police for target shooting if you’re an active member of a club, or a hunter if you have passed a hunters exam (like drivers license basically). You’ll have your criminal record checked.

Either way the gun must be suitable for the purpose. Shotguns and hunting rifles are not very hard to get. If your criminal record is clean and you’ve got the hunters exam you’ll probably be granted a licence for up to 4 hunting rifles/shotguns with the only question being if you have a large enough gun safe. You’ll get to keep them forever unless you’re convicted of a crime. (There is a debate right now if doctors should tell the police if someone is unsuitable, the argument against is that people would not go to the doctor if they suspected they could lose their guns)

Hand guns are harder to get and the license needs to be renewed every few years and you’ve got to prove that you are actively hunting/target shooting.

Magazine size for semi automatic is limited. Length of rifles and shotguns are regulated as to not be easily concealable. All firearms must be stored in a heavy safe when not used. You’re not allowed to carry it around town.

As for my opinion as a hunter it’s not excessively burdensome to get your license. The time delay has been due to under staffing rather than the laws itself. I do take issue with the “suitable for purpose” as they can arbitrarily deny you a licence because it “looks” like a military rifle.

The only reason I click on “what’s new” is to get rid of the notification. There are exactly two programs where I care and I appreciate all the other programs shutting up.

Any compensation for commuting to your regular work place is considered taxable income.

The government allows for a tax deduction if commuting costs exceed a certain amount.

I would not do anything about it as is the custom in Sweden. If they want to change it their union can negotiate it, but they are generally more interested a bigger raise than misc benefits.

zxqwas ,

I don’t think it is. I don’t live in America. Question does not specify where it is. A vast majority of the world is not America.

zxqwas ,

If the employer foots the bill they will discriminate based on where you live, which as far as I know is legal in the US and Sweden.

Besides, why should they pay one person more because where they live? You’re providing the same value to the company. Would it not be better to pay both workers a bit more rather than only the one living far away?

zxqwas ,

This name was made for lemmy. I have different names on different platforms because users from one place should not me able to find me anywhere else.

I have a gaming name I use on multiple places however.

Check if the password and user name is the default for the model. Google the model or see if there is a sticker on it.

There is usually a factory reset button. Again Google how to do that for your model. Then you can log in with the default password. It will also reset every other setting too so if you lack the knowledge to reconfigure everything else they will notice.

If either of your parents is better than you at IT I advise against trying. They will notice.

Difference between communists and Nazis is that one of them lost a world war.

Are you cyber ghost that had to get a new account?

They have a regular backup cylinder that has all the vulnerabilities of a regular lock.

On top of that they have a bunch of electronics that can be vulnerable.

I can’t see how it would be possible for them to be more secure unless you’re someone who leaves their keys around a lot and a smart lock would let you not have a key on you.

zxqwas ,

No, complete opposite.

The economy would come to a screeching halt for a week or two when everyone is suffering from withdrawal.

Coffee would be served in underground cafeterias. The criminal gangs would immediately find a new very lucrative market in coffee smuggling.

As usual the world is a complex place. But with a focus on simplicity rather than accuracy:

Responsibly used debt is a useful tool to grow your economy both today and in the future.

Irresponsible use will buy you something useless today that tomorrow’s tax payer will have to pay for.

Your government may build a bridge to transport goods from one place to another so business can grow and generate more tax longer and a school to educate the kids and a port to sell your stuff to foreigners. You could do this with taxes but if you are to pay for all of that with taxes you’ll have to raise taxes so much that people can’t afford to live for the 5 years it takes before they get the benefits from your projects.

Irresponsible use would be building all of this despite there being no need for it or if you take on more government debt to pay for the maintenance cost year after year. (Running a deficit on maintenance cost for a few years during bad economy can be less bad than raising taxes as long as it’s temporary).

WPM or KPM? The unofficial world record seems to be 293 WPM.

Probably too busy stealing back what is mine.

I fear it’s a necessary to spend money to ensure German and by extent European independence from China should they decide to increase the pressure on Taiwan.

We have to spend money to get the expertise and the tooling up and running. Preferably yesterday. How do you propose we do it quicker or cheaper?

zxqwas ,

Currently using Manjaro.

Many many years ago when I first started using Linux I tried Ubuntu. It was easy enough for me to learn enough to be able to get stuff done. Dabbled in mint for a while, don’t remember why I switched back to Ubuntu.

Not a huge fan of the snap packs and the entire 2022 I had a string of problems with dependencies being out of date on different computers (company server, my own desktop). So I snapped and semi randomly picked a non Ubuntuoid dist that would let me get back to getting stuff done the same afternoon.

The company server and the CFD computer at work still run Ubuntu. They work for now.

In Scandinavia we run ours down to -4F or colder. Efficiency goes down but they are still better than 1:1 until then.
