What do you think the odds are that some of these make it state side?

But is he a class traitor? He seemed awfully at home.

Most of the address and numbers they do have are off or old.

I moved through a lot of places in college and one of those 5 are usually what shows up.

Now that I think about it I did used to sign up for a bunch of religious mailing lists before I would leave an apartment because I thought it was funny.

Online book clubs are kind of a thing.

Welcome to Lemmy, just find a community and start chatting. If it's dead/empty, start filling it.

I try to open myself up to people as best I can here and on Mastodon just because we're pretty used to the algorithm TM deciding who we talk to or where we engage for a long time now and I don't think we are collectively ready to have non-hostile "discussions" in that we just don't know how to do it.

What's been on your mind? If you don't wanna share here try the casual conversations community. They might be better to receive you.

There are legitimate reasons not not want to use or not be able to use Linux.

Calling the very real privacy issues presented by windows as a "conspiracy theory" is not one of them.

Also these people are delusional. They don't understand why the steam deck is popular because quote "the main appeal of PC Gaming is modding and using a Keyboard and Mouse." Which is a bold claim because I thought the point was having better control over what you play instead of hoping Microsoft, Nintendo, and PlayStation release those games on chosen console.

Do these people have an idea how many Stardew Valley Clones I can play on PC that will never touch an Xbox?

I took 5 years to consecutively not get a degree and I'm about to go back to finish 5 years later.

Yeah it sticks not graduating with the people you started with, but that really isn't any more of a signifier of success or failure than graduating at all.

Sometimes things happen and at that point everyone is mature enough to but be a dick.

I voted for Harris

It is the DNCs fault Trump won.

The DNC has spent years kinda sorta offering enough social and popular policy. And then half heartedly pushing it, but ultimately giving up when there's resistance because it's better to promise those changes then actually do them.

Abortion rights for example. That's been a carrot on a stick for decades and it ultimately was attacked and the Biden admin didn't get it codified or push for a new federal legalization.

Or student loan forgiveness. He kinda pushed it and then the courts said nu-uh so it died.

I'll admit they did do lots of cool stuff but they didn't do anything that an actually progressive candidate would do, but they promised they would. This has kept an actual lefty progressive candidate off the ballet for decades and this cycle of ineffective, dispassionate campaign apathy has failed to get anyone enthused to vote.

"People should just vote! It's their duty! They shouldn't need to be excited to vote!"

Okay but consider. They weren't enthused. They didn't vote for another useless Democrat. Trump won.

It's the DNCs fault because this is the second time they've ran a candidate less progressive then Obama and just hoped the strategy of "You should want to vote for the first Woman president! Please ignore she did terrible in the primaries or all why we didn't do another primary"

Palpatine is the absolute only instance that the evil wizards plot fucking worked.

Bro was just yucking it up between episode 2 and 6. He couldn't fucking believe how well it worked. He was so giddy.

I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.

Are you using LLMs as search engines?

Bold.

I use Gemma, LLama 3.2, and Deepseek to either fix formatting, summarize documentation to give me commands for Linux software, and write simple code structure for me to refine into working code.

Sure it takes longer to generate than a cloud compute would, but

1. privacy obviously. I know you dismissed it but that's really the biggest reason anyone will have.
2. this feels better environmentally. I actually don't know if that's true, but it objectively touches less computers for such simple tasks. It would be wasteful of infrastructure to do it over the web.
3. it's just cooler to have a conversation with my computer. I've learned a lot about how the whole process works and that's more valuable to me as a non dev than just getting the end results.

Missed the lore.

Why boycott .ml ?

Gaming rig: 32" 1440p monitor, Ryzen 7 5800x, 32 gigs DDR4, RX 6600xt, 4 TB NVME storage

Laptop/WFH desk: 2x 24" Lenovo Tiny in One monitors I got for free, Dell Docking station gotten for free (I mostly spend time here)

Server: EPYC 7302P, 109 GB DDR4 ECC memory, RTX 5060ti, RTX 3060 12gb, 40 TB of HDD storage, 8 TB of SATA SSD storage

Couple things

1. Start applying for things you're not sure and you know you aren't qualified for. Often recruiters or HR people don't actually know what the fuck the job needs and just sorta copies similar job titles recs. Once you're able to talk to the actual hiring manager, then you can see if you're a good culture fit and if they can give you some on the job training.
2. Get a job at something not really what you wanna do but feels related enough. For me, my big break into my career was working at a call center for a hospital. It was not IT related, but it got me office experience that I spun into IT experience.

Before ever game of classical chess I play over the board I coat my opponents pieces in DMT.

Eventually it gets absorbs through their skin and I can convince them it's all a nightmare that only ends if they resign.

I call it the MK Ultra gambit

My "production" home lab is 3 Optiplex 3050 with i7-7700. They work great and are pretty low power.

My last job had a massive wall of screens. And it was explicitly to impress government officials.

It had a news live stream playing (cycling between CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News), the weather, live camera feeds of both our on site and offsite DR data center, as well as live feed of our store room and basement (where all the cooling and power was routed). The screens also displayed all of our dashboards like nagios, Citrix, and Oracle. There was one that gave alerts if a system was down.

And this was all displayed on an array of 3 rows and 4 columns of 55 inch TVs using a chrome extension called "Revolver" to cycle through.

We actually only used like 3 of the total 20 rotating screens and it was way more efficient to have them running on my own 55" TV as a monitor just using power toys to give it a dedicated corner and then the rest could do emails and news.

BBC from a distant corner!

Oh no the white queen is getting blacked!

He brought a CUCK CHAIR it's over folks!

Noods of shame

Its how you can tell PDP fans weren't paying attention. He promoted it a few times but it didn't gain any traction and he abandoned it.

Or maybe it just didn't help with the fascism allegations from the bridge moment and the Fiverr incidents since those all happened about the same time.

Hell, he had Ben Shapiro host an episode of LWIAY. Sure it wasn't peak genocide apologizer we have now Benny Boy, but he was still a verifiable dick head grifter.

Bethesda game runs like ass

That's not news

You got into Self Hosting for unreasonable ideological reasons

I got into self hosting to avoid AWS Fees
