Wait, so he’s been at it for years now?
I’ve had his posts in my feed somewhat recently and I was kind of in awe of dude’s dedication to do full time posting on topic of Linux users having no life, but had no idea he’s been doing it for so long now. 🌚
I think there will be some inventions in regard of “take home projects” like certification of said tasks, secure repositories - things that let you easily check if whatever you just got is legit, or maybe in-browser environments for doing tasks, where it’s all handled on employers servers. Just takes someone to formulate an idea that could be sold and rest is details.
And as of resumes, phone interviews and in-person interviews - kinda happened already, at least speaking from my engineer’s perspective. Today just hiring someone without in-person interview is a bit foolish due to how easy it is to just open ChatGPT tab or whatever on another screen. And potential engineers then are invited to an in-person interview and fail it miserably after giving somewhat competent answers in online call.
Damn, I thought LinkedIn itself got hacked, but that’s just “recruiter” trying to get people to install malicious npm modules. 🥱
Good heads up tho, I periodically get folks trying some bullshit with me in there like “let’s talk on WhatsApp”.
Now think of some folks actually being quite successful by selling courses and trainings where they just talk nonsense in bureaucratese to the audience. 💀
Waffles, I’ll be sick after them but I have zero restraint and it’s a problem of future me. 🗿
Europeans: out of office until October. 🚬🍺
Jokes aside tho, it’s mandatory at my job to take a vacation for at least two weeks at least once a year, and managers can get in trouble if someone doesn’t take a vacation in a long time.
It gets beyond threats and sometimes happens regardless. There are ton of videos of “500’s” tortures (code for those refusing to fight).
Yeah, BUT… thrift stores, and also charities with donated clothes.
There was a homeless guy wandering around street where I live who was wearing Minecraft creeper cap, so I’d say there’s non-zero chance of him getting Pikachu shirt at some point. 🗿
I have a functioning ancient Canon printer in my office that can do that. 🌚
Would still be using it if not for safety concerns regarding old laser printers.
If you’re very new to that - I’d just recommend picking up some Arduino (at least UNO R3) starter kit plus some measurement tools - multimeter and maybe an oscilloscope (there are cheap handheld ones like DSO).
And then you just fool around with what you’ve got - try to read each sensors data, try to use each actuator, think of some useful projects with what you’ve got.
And from there you can go to stuff like ESP32 to explore wireless stuff (mostly compatible with Arduino too).
That’s a big “IF” tho. I’ve been teaching embedded programming classes and had to teach folks some very basic stuff like how to RTFM or how to look for stuff on the internet - people don’t even use search engines anymore. 🌚
Another European europeansplaining here.
There was that thing with memes that if corporate social media people posted some meme - that would be akin to that specific meme’s death certificate. Like, people had fun with something, and now there’s corporations trying to buddy up, and it’s no fun anymore.
So… kinda the same thing with celebrity endorsements. Immediately makes things feel 10x less genuine.
When they also say “We’re one big family here!”. They don’t say it’s a dysfunctional one. 🌚
Lives claimed by climate change
Lives claimed by murderers.
These are the same thing.
Calling her just Russian asset undersells her a bit. She took money from Iran, from Qatar, and even from Assad, which is like lowest low. And list is not complete.
She’s so compromised that magic 8 ball would’ve been a better head of national intelligence. 💀
I feel like AI employed to audit the company and look for ways to increase efficiency can certainly get funny ideas about guys who get seven figure paychecks for showing PowerPoints once in a while. 🌝
Sir, you’re under arrest for not adding age verification to your LFS build. 🚓
Now that I thought about that - it gets kinda funny since most non-open source operating systems already have some sorts of age verification. Microsoft, for example, already knows user’s birth date in majority of cases. And degoogling one’s Android phone also leads up to a open source operation system in there.
Had a situation twice where one particular friend would antagonize other one (different people in both cases), and after some time rest of us would have that “oh!” moment, with that second friend no longer being a friend now.
As for myself - became good friends for almost 10 years now with a person who’s first impression to me was not good to say the least.
They have this quasi-religious cult vibe that makes them like this:
That’s not a scientific conclusion on my part, rather vibe-based one, and some conspiracy theory communities can also be described in that way. Which also leads to next conclusion - they’re kept in by a sense of community, and since that community is built around fringe and often cringe ideas - it only leads to doubling down on ideas that seem stupid or dangerous or simply not thought through to any sensible person.
You’re putting too much faith in an intelligence agency with most embarrassing history (and I must specify that whole of it is embarrassing) under most embarrassing (up to date) management of United States.
