This only makes me favor copyright reform more. Should really cut that down to 25 years or less; anything from before the 21st century should be public domain by now.

Krita is great for drawing. It is made for it.
People really try to use Krita for photo editing?
… I had an IT tech from our old MSP tell me her knowledge/recommendation of ABP is what got her the job.
I knew her boss, and doubt that was the reason (probably more because she was cheap entry level labor), but that some people have that take in a professional setting shocked me. I don’t think your ad-blocker recommendation will ever be what lands you a job, but I do think it’s possible for it to be the reason you don’t get a job.
There is also a setting under Default Behavior to disable javascript: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-scripting
Which would then require you to allow it for each site.
I use NoScript for that purpose though. I’ve not delved into uBlocks configuration, but NoScript makes it pretty easy to only allow javascript from certain sources on the page (can easily select which third party sites to allow).
My typical recommendation would be:
Normie: uBlock Origin
Techie: uBlock Origin + uMatrix
Security Critical/Paranoia/Just Hate Yourself: uBlock Origin + uMatrix + NoScript
I use the last option at work, and the middle option at home, and the first option for my wife’s computer.
For me, a lot of it isn’t about ads, it’s more about the security risk of cross site scripting. Typically, if I’m visiting a site, I probably trust it, but I have no trust for people they sell ads to. I don’t mind sites I trust having a few non-intrusive ads, but of course that’s not the reason I use blockers; if a site has so many ads it is unusable, I just don’t ever visit it again (plenty of 'don’t show articles from ’ flags in my google news feed for this very reason. I’ll never know if you redeem yourself, because I will just never visit your site again.).
I do use passphrases, but I combine with randomness.
I memorize one random 8 character string to use with something more memorable.
Then when I need more security, or I feel that random 8 character string is no longer safe (password leak/hacked), I memorize a new 8 character string.
Then I combine them.
Then I memorize a new 8 character string and mix it in.
It’s a process built up over years that ingrains into memory. Sometimes I forget the order, or if i added spaces, or did no spaces. Luckily, as long as I am sure of the discrete segments, I can remix them to recreate until it works (in a reasonable time).
My last addition was when I made the move from Lastpass to another password manager, after their endless bad news.
You said you are ‘in the EU’, as in currently living in the US for said job?
Are you considered an independent contractor? Or an actual employee of the company?
As a US citizen… I would just advise EU citizens to ‘in general’ avoid working for US companies, we have bad employment policies, and our companies think they can just do the same things in other countries. Obviously everyone should choose for themselves; if you think the extra income is worth it, that is your call, but our work culture is awful.
At the very least, if you do decide to work for a US company… keep it remote. Cost of living in the US is really high, work culture is awful, it’s dangerous, and healthcare costs are crazy. Unless your household is making at least $150k USD/year, you’ll be considered poor to middle-class.
Wasn’t there a video a while back of a presentation that OOP was created as a joke or something, and the person was surprised people were taking it seriously. Might have been advertised as the creator or OOP.
I took the video as a joke anyways, not a serious thing, but who knows. I don’t even remember if it was OOP, or some other paradigm, or language, or who knows what else.
If anyone could find/link to it, I’d love to watch it again, but I’m having no luck; so my memory may be faulty.
And there’s also KivyMD after you learn base Kivy, that adds more widgets with the intent of following Google’s Material Design spec.
I’m not going to vouch for the project, or link, just mentioning it exists.
I don’t know if it meets your purposes, nor do I use mac, but I just bought this keyboard:

Version numbers I’m guessing.
Do they not have actual version numbers maybe?
Which means, Ubuntu may have several separate entries, whereas Arch gets all combined altogether. If that’s the case, then likely not a very accurate Linux distro list without additional data cleaning to combine versions of distros.
I’m with you, but for my wife’s sake I’d move Dr. Pepper at least one tier above all others.
Actually… I see your point.
Are they made of leather, or just… super fake looking low quality fabric?
I project I keep up on uses Discord for chat, help, and announcements, but…
They maintain a full website for documentation, and use github for bug reports, issue tracking, project discussion, other project management.
I like discord being a part of the community, but I can cant imagine people making it the project management, or documentation tool.
I get people’s argument for results not coming up from the #help discord channel when searching Google, but I’m fine with how active the help channel is, and how searchable discord is in this case.
For those having trouble filtering to a specific channel:
In the past I would get full server (or multi-server) search. Its not happening now, but how I got it to focus:
Click inside the message input box like you are typing a message, then hit Ctrl+F. That would send me to the search box with “in #channel-name” to filter for only said channel.
Yeah, basically you’re a millennial if you’re currently in your 30’s. If you’re within a few years of that age, you may technically be a millennial, or even if not, you may still consider yourself a millennial, and that is fine. Generations are gradients, there is no firm start, or end, and as stated, is more about generalized experiences of your age group.
If you are 25 and want to call yourself a millennial, that’s fine, if you want to call yourself a gen z/zoomer, that’s fine too.
I think this is a great time for remaining Reddit users to do a 3 month Reddit detox.
Until recent times, I’ve always thought a govt job was a good thing to have.
Still is, but the constant threat of government shutdowns, in the US at least, as of late, make me feel you need to live below your means and keep a decent chunk of 3 to 6 months pay, because you could suddenly be without pay for a good chunk of time because some idiots think they score political points, or will get their way, by hurting citizens.
OMG, I’m dealing with a developer right now that is dealing with patient collected samples in several timezones, allowing the patients to either enter the time they collected, or use current time, and storing it in UTC time.
We do not receive any timezone data, patient collection data is showing different days than the patient could write on their samples depending on the time of day, and the developer said ‘just subtract X hours’ (our timezone)… for which not all patients would live in.
I suppose I could, if they’d provide the patient’s timezone, but they don’t even collect that. Can you just admit your solution is bad? It’s fine to store a timestamp in UTC, but not user provided data… don’t expect average users to calculate their time (and date) in UTC please.
