Thanks for the info. Yeah, two year Associate Degree might not be too bad, if I really wanted to make the transition.

That's a good one, thanks for the suggestion. You mentioned another contributing factor to my hypothetical career change too. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to work at some place that has a more direct impact on my community. My current job is more indirect, I would say.

Definitely my current team is a huge contributor. My previous job was a government contracting job with basically no stress, but now I'm in banking, and the stress is off the charts. My team is also a bit mismanged, which doesn't help.

I think if I could find another team like my previous job with low stress, then I'd definitely be happy to continue being a web developer.

That's true that healthcare jobs are plentiful out in rural areas. I never thought of that. I'm not too sure how I would feel about having to go back to school, but it's a good option to consider.

That's a good idea. I'm not the most proficient in terms of tech support, but I guess a lot of that stuff would be googling the issue.

Yes, I've accepted the fact that whatever options there are will most likely be a downgrade in pay. Wildlife ranger work does sound nice, though. If it's one of those ranger jobs where you have to go live out in the woods for an extended period of time, then that might be rough. But patrolling the wilderness sounds like a nice change of pace from IT work.

Hello small instance friends :)

Is this supposed to be funnier than the exiting vim jokes?

Is this hoarding? You should try to break this cycle. There's no way every single one of those hundreds of tabs is important to you. Take an hour or two to go through the tabs and manually create the bookmarks on desktop for only the ones that are most important to you. Let all the other ones go.

Svengoolie tonight while trying to learn about using Docker for my local development environment.

There was a bug with the hot sort a couple weeks ago, so that kind of poisoned the well a little bit. I'm never sure if the poor sorting is due to another bug or if it's just the nature of how hot and active sort works. Assuming the sorts are working as intended, I'm beginning to believe that lemmy is just too small for hot and active to work well. Maybe they'll be more applicable if lemmy grows to the size of reddit.

But anyway, I've just been sticking to the "top" sorts, for now. Those work well.

I'm a "clean install a LTS release every two years" kind of guy. I keep the default wallpaper because it's a reminder of what release I'm on. Kind of like a changing of the seasons type of thing.

Yes, I started blocking meme communities. I think I've reached my "I'm too old for this shit" age or something.

I do still have the themed meme communities unblocked. Like programming memes and Star Wars memes. Those still give my old ass a sensible chuckle.

If you're good with learning via books, then I would recommend Python Crash Course. It assumes you know nothing about programming and has a good reputation as a teaching resource.

I don't like this NPC thing

I 100% believe that Zuck is going to stab lemmy in the back if/when it starts taking away too much profit from Meta. But I stopped caring so much because I've also realized that a lot of people here are too stubborn and have to learn the hard way.

That's the life, right there

Sorry, I have to admit that I'm not the best at keeping up with LGBTQ+ news, so I wasn't aware of that controversy. I'll keep an eye on that and see how it shakes out. If NYT continues to stir controversy, then I can switch. I'm not particularly attached to them. Washington Post would be a good replacement, and I saw that GLAAD article mention that WP's LGBTQ+ coverage is better.

What about non-power tools? I always end up buying Ryobi for power tools and Husky for non-power tools. Those seem to always be the cheapest options whenever I have to buy something.
