  • People supporting something you don’t agree with doesn’t mean they’re doing it for popularity points, just the same as you supporting something that I don’t, wouldn’t have me saying you’re doing it for points.

    Shocking but people have beliefs, whether right or wrong.

  • What? I don’t typically find males attractive and I was supportive of this man’s actions way before I knew what he looked like.

    Also, isn’t it a bit too soon to say he hasn’t accomplished anything through his violence. I mean at the very least he’s sparked a massive discourse about how Americans have a fucked up health industry. This is all while the media pretends he doesn’t exist anymore because they realised that sympathy for Brian Thompson was… lacking to say the least.

  • I am not smart but this is what I get from this meme.

    It’s a play on how physics describes acceleration. In physics acceleration isn’t just about speeding up but any change in velocity.

    So:

    • Gas = Positive acceleration
    • brake = negative acceleration
    • steering = velocity takes speed and direction, so acceleration.

  • Again I am going in to the realm of conjecture here over a little post, but maybe they had loads of information on Apple users from a data breach and this is how they were capitalising on them.

  • I feel lucky to be in the position I am, especially given my sketchy past and shaky start to life and I can’t stress that enough to others who may see this.

    What about yourself, what do you do? And do you enjoy it?

    Edit: Just realised you’re OP and you’ve described your work in the post.

  • Thanks. They really are.

    I’m a software developer with 4 others and two owners who also code most of the time.

    We are consultants so we get approached my clients exclusively via word of mouth. They treat the clients just as fair as they treat us so we get lots of repeat work and recommendations. Quite a large local authority too which is nice.

    We can be making a whole host of different applications which I don’t want to disclose here in case that isn’t something I am allowed to discuss. Basically though if you could think of a system for a business then we could make it.

    Not that I am the smartest person but one of the owners is the smartest person I’ve ever met and I don’t believe there is anything they couldn’t build.

  • Question kinda related to this post.

    I’m looking to get back into piracy and have been saving to build a server to handle it. I’m now hearing about these seed boxes in the cloud.

    So my question is this a viable option until I build a server. Like I can set up torrents and maybe Radarr, etc. then just use my home pc for Jellyfin and connect it to the seed box? Or is the seed box mainly used to do the torrenting before you STFP the files to your actual server?

  • It’s a long story so I will try and bullet point it as I don’t have a lot of time to answer.

    • Mid to late thirties and I’m thinking I’m a failure at life. Think I have ADHD but never diagnosed. Had 50+ jobs to this point and I always quit or lose them for poor attendance etc, mix in a little fraud to supplement wages.
    • Apply to an insurance company and begin training. Someone I had screwed over (I am a better person now) reported me to management and they fired me.
    • decided to apply to Apple as a Christmas temp and get hired for 3 months.
    • excel at being faux extrovert and apply for Genius Bar as a Technical Specialist. Get hired.
    • Begin work at the Genius Bar where I thrive cause being a fake extrovert actually makes you happier at times, but you leave work drained.
    • Realise we have healthcare and seek an ADHD diagnosis, which I got.
    • surrounded by talented people and infinite support from management I decide to do a software development bootcamp.
    • excel at coding as I had always been interested and I am even at a higher level than the teacher and they’re blown away by my projects.
    • suck at interviews and so do another bootcamp, 😔, as this one also get you interviews.
    • excel at this bootcamp too and still suck at interviews.
    • must have gone for 30 jobs and didn’t get any.
    • start to feel down but finally get hired to a small company.
    • life really isn’t any greener over here and I still struggle to maintain happiness.
    • company I work for is excellent. All about work life balance and the work is secondary to us.
    • been 18 months. Got a pay rise after 1 year. Then 6 months later we all get a pay rise again and a reduction in hours.
    • we only work 33 hours a week now with 21 days holiday which goes up one day each year until you’re at 25 days.
    • don’t have to lie about why I am sick. If not having a good mental health day then I tell them and I am not expected to work.
