@majorlinux Robert Reich is a great economist but he is still such an unrelenting liberal. I imagine his opinions are what being in the Democratic party post FDR pre JFK was like.
@thelinuxcast I refuse to use any app that doesnt have a dark mode or will at least let me use dark reader on the web version. Its 2024 and not giving users a choice of at least a dark mode, let alone themeing options is wack.
@thelinuxcast As a fellow fat man, I have to hit weights. Muscle burns calories at rest and cardio does it in motion. I gotta do both to really start burning my fat.
Maybe I'm too corpratist, but why do companies like Epic think they can force Apple and Google to allow Epic Games into their app stores for free? I get it that 30% is outrageous. It is. But Epic seems to want to be in the stores for free, without having to ever pay any fees to be there.
@thelinuxcast Despite Sweeny pretending to be on a high horse, Epic wants to be the monopoly. They see the rewards Steam are reaping after decades of focusing on their customer base and want what they cant have.
What makes this even dumber: Had they actually given a shit about this, they had the finances to start EGS (or at least something comparable to Steam) back in the day. They didnt because they wanted to focus on Unreal to push iD Tech out of the market.
So in the last few hours I've learned pretty much that I'm too dumb for docker.
Also learned that there are a ton of old ass tuts out there that don't work. And that led to learning how to reset docker containers, which is still something I apparently can't do.
@thelinuxcast Docker takes time to learn. Ill never forget getting to that moment when it all "clicked" for me about 3 years ago. When it all clicked for me it was never the same. Homelabbing it will definitely help.
K8s and Ansible are another thing though. I suppose that you could use those in homelab but I fail to see how they would be useful in a homelab enviro. With them not being useful in that context it kinda makes it hard to learn.

> I suspect with proper analysis we all could do it, but we would have to suspend all morals and become sociopaths by choice.
This is kinda the point. Everyone acknowledges the sociopathy but do nothing about it because of their own selfishness and lack of empathy. For every evil act there were a bunch of people who just watched it, said and did nothing.
@majorlinux >I've done W-2 contract work and I've never been blindsided by the end of a contract. I know the term date, and as it approaches I'm either angling for renewal or a new position.
I really hope she understands that contracts can be terminated for any reason whatsoever. Things get tight, they can just term the contract w/o any reason leaving you, already struggling because you have to pay for medical/life insurance, more precarious than when you accepted the role. 1/2
I'm currently taking a college course on Ethics and Information Technology. Our current reading is about Intellectual Property and Fair Use. I can already feel a REALLY interesting conversation coming up next class.
@mike@kev 100% agree. The link should not take up characters since the person viewing the post will likely click in the box to get to the link. The link card should also be made minimal though.
Facebook deserved the dragging that it got because of their practices but the UI was actually good for its time.
@majorlinux Good point. That warrants more storage and storage options. In such situations you would offer either larger internal disk spaces or expandable storage (read: memory cards/ data banks).
This was an opportunity for improvement and instead was turned into a limitation.
The worst bit about this is that the team that worked on Fallout: New Vegas is Obsidian who made "The Outer Worlds" which sticks closer to the Fallout 3/NV way of telling stories.
All they had to do was get Obsidian to write the game. They are both owned by Microsoft/Xbox Game studios. They have a specific set of skills that would have helped them in this exact situation lol
I was literally discussing this with @majorlinux earlier this year. That we are in 2023 and we have had this tech for at LEAST a decade. These outdated models prop up telecom.
Right now Discord is the place I know where your phone number is not needed (for right now).
