my cat’s about to turn 16 and i dread the day he doesn’t make it to being the next longest living cat.

i had a similar thought and i suspect it lays bare the social inclinations of the people of .world.

the agitator will either tear the shoes apart or maim them.

you’d think it doesn’t need to be said because it’s obvious, but i speak from experience that it does need to be said: make sure you don’t put them into an agitation based washer; impeller or tumble washers ONLY!

(or atleast use a laundry bag if you have only have access to an agitation washer)

and air dry them IN THE SUN!!!

and a reality in the united states

it’s also bullshit when you consider that the only thing i could steal is source code and; since everything we worked on was open source; i would have absolutely nothing to gain from it. lol

nope

Other industries, I’m sure, are looking for different things based on what they’re hiring for. Where I work, there is a different set of checks we run on folks that work in our finance department, but I don’t oversee that area.

they look at credit scores now to get jobs and that floored me when i worked for a fintech job at a bank holdings company; they were going to reject me because my credit report showed a an overdue credit card account from when i was 8 years old.

it was obviously wrong because no one gives credit cards to 8 year olds; but it was there in all 3 credit reporting agency’s reports; they had to get their legal team involved to tell their hr team to let me, a software developer, work at a bank doing software development because of a bad credit score.

maybe because i mentioned it?

a few years ago i created a homemade security camera system using motion on my linux desktop and all of my unused smartphones as cameras with ip camera software along with the gnome google drive desktop plugin to upload pics/vids of events and notify me via email & priority phone notifications if something happened.

it was easy to setup, but it took forever to tweak the cameras’ angles, mask and especially the lighting with infra red light bulbs so that they could get decent light in the videos and pics during night time and without having to keep all the regular lights on all the time.

i’m glad that i didn’t spend any money of it because i only ended up with hundreds of hours videos and gigabytes of pics of me and my pets. lol

the last time i tried doing something similar was with a plasma 1080i tv (yes that long ago) connected via hdmi to component adapter and i eventually learned that the nvidia driver will overwrite everything in favor of it’s own detection method, thus ignoring the custom edid i provided; perhaps the ati driver your using does something similar?

i would have tried switching to one of the open source drivers but the tv died and it’s replacement had hdmi ports and the problem went away

apple products are coveted both in and out of imperial core; whether or not they can afford them.

my point is that the most well educated and leftist leaning generations we’ve ever had (i’m assuming) continues to place a premium on products like these and that makes the eventuality of breaking out of this imperialist cycle seem unrealistic.

I’m a software engineer

You’re not getting anywhere above entry level in this industry if you’re not fun

same here and fixed it for you

i’ve done this a couple times w sata and pata drives and it works; there’s lots to clean up to do, but it works.

I can’t seem to shake off the loud “It’s Gay” inside my head when something like that happens.

a very small part of me is glad i’m gay when i encounter one of the many ways that straight men are so terrified of being perceived as gay. it’s a bit like watching the video of a child freaking out in shallow water because he couldn’t touch the ground only to be corrected by being pushed into standing; except that this casual homophobia has MASSIVE impacts on people’s psyches and how they treat others.

i’ve had to use netapp ontap’s freebsd and solaris 9 & 10 professionally and going to canada is exactly how it felt; one is vancouver (compared to california) and the other was new foundland.

I wonder if younger millennials’ and Gen z’s overwhelming preference for iPhones over Androids is indicative anything in the future

up until now i hated that people cocooned themselves up too much from other people’s plight; your comment made me realize that they’re merely overindulging in something pleasant, as i do.

i’m convinced that creating echo chamber cocoons are the reason why things are so fucked rn.

this was true 20 years ago so your mileage is absolutely going to vary today; but it worked for me:

• if you haven’t graduated: intern
• if you have graduated: contract
