  • Two main reasons;

    1. The boring reason, I get paid because someone thinks they need me, and I need that money. Not being needed is clear sign that the gig is up and when they need to balance the books my job, very reasonably, would be the one to cut.
    2. The exciting reason, even when I didn't and don't again need the money there is a satisfaction to being able to build something or help others as part of larger group. Without needing to work my hobbies would just turn into grander and grander projects until I am working with others all over again.

    All sorts of jobs filled me with that sense of pride that video games and movies just can't. The idea that I actually helped someone or made a difference for my community is just greater for me

  • From unity to gnome for Wayland support from gnome to KDE because of painful stutterstthough now I use both on wayland, just dep3nding on which syst3m I'm on at th3 time.

    Great DEs over all, though in excited to try outt cosmic once I get past some systems projects :)

  • 41% execs think that a huge amount of class power will go from workers in general to AI specialists (and probally the companies they make or that hire them).

    I personally can't wait for a lot these businesses that bet on the wrong people to replace turn around and form new competition but with this new tech filling in the gaps of middle management, hr, execs, etc.

    I mean its fucking meme, but an AI assisted workplace democracy seems alright to me on paper (the devils in details).

  • Right now the greatest level of supply chain secuirty that I know of is formal verification, source reproducible builds, and full source bootstrapping build systems. There was a neat FPGA bootstrapping proj3ct (the whole toolchain to program the fpga could be built on the FPGA) at last years FOSDEMs conference, and I have to admit the idea of a physically verifiable root of trust is super exciting to me, but also out of reach for 98% of projects (though more possible by the day).

  • You have too look at it at scale too, and most places should either be adopting some platform that already does or be planning on scaling some special service they do.

    Every Podunk municple probally should have to have a AD expert, a security expert, a hardware/software lifecycle management person, etc etc

    That's how o365 can be cheaper total cost of ownership then an army of siloed sys admins, even if the software is at no cost to them.

    Its an investment in total operations of the organizations of the state, from the current state of 1990s tech most operate off of to a modern IT infrastructure.

  • I'm really excited to see what forks of tiger Beatle for other domains look like. They, supposedly, built it to be able to modify the state machine to other data schemes, but that code mostly just made realize I had no idea what I was looking at.

    As soon as someone makes a KV on it, I'm tried to have be my ETCD database

  • It builds pattersns for you and people like you.

    Dynamic demographic catagories

    You are now, at in part, a "free use MILF guy" in their database, so they can now shaped content for you based on other "free use milf guys" who may have more actionable info like "buys guns" or "clicks ads with light hues".

  • "Introducing HP brick protection program, for a low cost subscription of

    <whatever we feel like at the time>

    we will make sure you or your printer aren't hit with bricks through windows*, you would want that happen would you?

    *only specialty HP branded bricks are covered"

  • *at first

    Its only cheap because its normalized in that domain. As more work is done to iron out bugs and get people in the office space the feature they need on Linux the more experience IT folks will get support.

    Its an investment as always. There is no such thing as a free lunch
