Completely agree. Although I have known a few people who went for accounting because of the reasons OP gave and absolutely HATED it. So it's important to make sure you can actually handle it as a day job

I'm not sure how to actually get to the root instance in Voyager. I can find a communities sidebar though

Oh nice, thanks for the heads up on the Local communities. I'll definitely use that quite a lot.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to think seeing other instances would be cool. I've been using the search a lot to find new communities I'd like to take part in and I think being able to search for an instance's communities could help a lot with the lesser known ones

I get your point that it's not specifically Chrome or specifically Safari that are holding other browsers back, but Apple and Google own the vast majority of market share in mobile devices and by extension, browsers used in mobile devices. I think that's the crux of what the investigation is getting at

It's laziness. "I don't have to think tough thoughts if I let someone else do all of the thinking for me."

I completely understand that neither would be very nimble but I'd expect with how large I'm sure both ships are (an assumption, I know) they shouldn't need to be nimble to be able to avoid a collision if they're so visible

I disagree with your last statement. Is promising to change not evidence of the motivation to change?

Some people lie about their intentions or don't plan to change as quickly as expected, absolutely. But to assume everyone who has promised to change won't feels unfair.

Oh, in that case I take it back.

God, I hate this timeline!

I'm glad it's not just me

Was it actually a US-Poland spat?

I thought it was just Musk running his mouth on Twitter as per.

If that's the case I think it's a dangerous game for the wider world to conflate Musk's actions with the US as a whole

Edit: Seems like it was also US official/s taking part. What a wonderful world we live in 🙃

Now, I'm no expert but as I understand it, the North Sea is a pretty big place.

How is this even possible with modern navigation and communication systems? Even archaic, navigation and communication systems would be able to prevent this from happening. A crows nest would probably be able to avoid this from happening.

Am I crazy?

I think this is the winner. Pretty much exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much!

Oh awesome. I've never heard of it, I'll have to check it out

A brain/computer interface. But like you say, depending on the state of tech companies maybe only as an input (I can manipulate computers without allowing them to send a signal of any kind to me).

It'd just be for stuff like mentally dictating note taking, being able to "Google" my thoughts (probably best to send the output to my phone rather than directly into my brain)

I'm so glad we're on the same page. I'll go back to the people who are actually open and welcoming to new people rather than the ones that try their hardest to condescend and belittle when I am justifiably suspicious of a random unknown file

I don't remember asking what Debian was. I demanded an answer to the question, "would you download an unfamiliar file from a stranger without any context or description of what it is" (paraphrasing because I don't remember exactly what I said). And that demand was only because of the condescending comment I was replying to.

I can admit I have been disrespectful to three people, but only in retaliation to a disrespectful comment levied at me first. Everyone else I have had a pleasant discussion with and thanked them for their time and help. I deserve as much respect as anyone else here does, why did you and the others feel justified being disrespectful to me and expecting me to just allow that to happen without me calling it out for what it is?

And I did read the links you posted, I just don't see how they are relevant to this case. I thought it could have been a productive discussion, and other than this thread and three particularly rude and unwelcoming people, it has been.

I asked if anyone knows of a resource. I didn't demand a response. Are you seriously suggesting that people in the open source community see sharing information as a bad thing? That is honestly baffling 😂

That's a great list, thank you for taking the time. I'll look into them all

Thank you, I appreciate you actually trying to educate me. If I knew that, I definitely would have been less suspicious

A wonderful example of gatekeeping. Because I don't have this particular piece of inside knowledge I get downvotes. This is literally my first step into the world of open source, a community I had come to believe was welcoming.

This is beyond a joke. If there weren't other people legitimately engaging with my question in good faith, I'd be well and truly put off of working with you people.
