That’s why you get a bulldozer. And if need be, an immense supply of steel sheeting, concrete mix, and welding supplies.

m a huge trek nerd so this place is basically like A Little Piece of Heaven.

That’s pretty much exactly how I feel about it top. It’s very refreshing.

m slowly getting my wife into it, but she’s still learning the basics so it’s great to have a place to read and discuss the finer points.

Same. We are currently wrapping up TNG season 1, but we are certainly getting through it, and she loves it enough to keep going which is great.

I usually keep the star trek conversations to my star trek account though.

Like how much RICK FUCKING BERMAN sucks ass, and how Captain Jellico may be a good starfleet captain but he’s still an asshole and not a great enterprise captain

I’ll admit I’m not as familiar with the background stuff like that, but pretty much everything I hear about Berman is not good.

Yeah, that’s pretty much where I’m at. It’s worth tying, even if the chances are small, and they are definitely small.

Idk why they thought I’d be dumb enough to believe them, considering they wanted me because of my test score.

I think therein lies your answer. Their own test scores were low enough to think you might eventually join.

Yeah, it is a bit defeatist. And I don’t have high hopes for this country to unfuck itself of the current situation. I’ve mentioned unionization to co-workers in the past. At best they don’t bat an eye and engage, and at worst they treat you like an enemy, and no matter what the word is treated in a hushed manner.

I’m not saying it is impossible. It’s just a ball busting-ly hard job to get done.

This was years ago, not the current recruitment crisis.

But either way, I’m glad the latest generation isn’t falling for it either.

Thank you for your take.

Completely unrelated to what you said, I appreciate seeing so many star trek fans around here. It really makes lemmy feel like a home.

But people are already losing their jobs without these safety nets anyway.

And it’s absolute bullshit. But from the average workers perspective, there is a strong incentive to not lose your job even if you know there is a high chance of losing it to begin with. So the resulting behavior is that workers try to keep their head down and postpone that eventual job loss.

Until a worker can be confident there will still be food on their table and a roof over their head when they strike or try to form a union, the incentive to keep your head down will continue to remain too strong.

What do we have to do, and why aren’t we doing it?

The list of worker protections needed for that kind of solidarity would take a book series to properly explain. The majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, meaning they can’t walk out without losing everything. They would pretty much instantly lose their jobs, which is a huge deterance.

And culturally, the situation is fucked. The U.S. has a much workers solidarity as La Croix has taste. Nobody wants to be the first to stick their neck out for a general strike. Nobody takes the ideal of a general strike seriously. A third of the population is republicans, whom vehemently oppose unions and worker protections.

The culture, values, and worker protections of this country need to dramatically change. And I wish I had solutions.

Try to put Programs such as Firefox , emby in startup of linux

Ignore me if you’re not still looking for solutions.

IIRC, some distros have a way to do this through the gui, some don’t. I’m on LMDE, and it thankfully does have a gui to set startup programs.

But all distros should be able to do this. Here are some a common ways:

https://operavps.com/docs/run-command-after-boot-in-linux/

Instead of a complicated script, your command would literally just be “firefox”, or “emby”. You might need to search for what the command for a given program is.

It’s nowhere near as simple as it should be, but it is certainly possible.

They sent a recruiter to my place of employment back when I was in retail. They asked me if I ever thought of joining the armed forces, and I gave them a polite but firm no.

So then they asked “are you happy with where your life is going?”, trying to take advantage of me being a teenager stuck in retail.

Even if they werent asking you to throw your life away in some oil war to protect corporate interests, even if they weren’t asking you to sell your morals away, they’re aggressive assholes. So fuck them they’re getting the treatment they deserve.

[Spoilers]

Act 3? The game bugged out in act 1 when Shadowheart tried to kill Lae’zel. It straight up didn’t show us the cut screen of them fighting, and defaulted to Lae’zel dying when we failed to stop it in a cutscene we didn’t get.

The end result being that Lae’zel just didn’t interact with the party for a month, and then suddenly drop dead, bloody on the floor after a patch.

Yeah. Luckily the work I am doing is to fix some really bad work that the entire company has been complaining about. So once it’s fixed it will hopefully be a little bit more recognition than that. Plus my boss is pretty level headed.

But who fucking knows? There is always the likelihood that people will say things along those lines. And it ain’t my job to fight them on that.

No, we have worse. Dates sometimes stored as strings, sometimes as datetimes, and sometimes as integers. There is no consistency, logic, or forethought to the schema.

It’s rough.

At work, I am currently dealing with a table that has no primary key, no foreign key, duplicate (almost) serial numbers, booleans stored as strings, and so on. It’s a nightmare of a table.

Entity framework is acting like I’m on meth for using such a table.
