Some of them, sure. Usually old people that ran out of neuroplasticity 40 years ago. But there are a lot more that function well enough and IT guys (specifically the guys, IT gals usually either have a better idea or hide it better) have a tendency to think of them as useless, where if they had to do their job for a day they’d be as lost as an old guy spooked by the window location change.

Yeah but he’s just a temporarily inconvenienced billionaire, the rest of these welfare queens are out here collecting rent and sitting around all day. They don’t need the money like he does. As soon as he gets a job, he’ll hustle that first billion in no time.

His YouTube shorts (500/day goal) is videos of Elon musk saying things, with the background music alternating between the sigma male tune and the movie clip tune.

Did you see how ELON MUSK OWNED💯 DON LEMON by getting flustered at the question of “half your advertisers have left the platform, if X fails, isn’t that on you?” so he told Don he should choose his words carefully because the interview clock only had 5 minutes left? And then Don was OWNED because he rephrased the question?

LMAO. SUCK IT CNN. OWNED!

So many people in IT don’t understand this. I’m glad I did a lot of customer service while programming was still just a hobby.

Developing the product or supporting the product dev team in some way (tech support, project managers, etc) is great, but if the company doesn’t have people to schmooze other people to give them money, your product doesn’t have much financial value.

You work on computers, they work on people. Part of their job is coding on their bosses for more money, while you write a script to automate something. Hard skills vs. soft skills.

If you want, you could develop those people manipulation coding skills and be twice as valuable as them.

So programming is gonna go from a “search, understand basics, copy/paste, make changes” industry to a “I breathe compiler optimization, pay me money” industry?

Can’t say I’m that upset, it had to happen eventually. But this will only kick the brainpower down the road for the copy/pasters because they’ll have a lot more time to dig in and specialize.

I think it’s being framed wrongly for the narrative by the guy posting the screenshot.

A friend sent me MRI brain scan results

Without more context I have to assume guy was still convinced of his brain tumor, knew a friend who knew and talked about Claude, had said friend run results through Claude and told guy who’s brain was scanned that Claude gave a positive result, and friend went to multiple doctors for a second, third, fourth opinion.

In America we have to advocate hard when there is an ongoing, still unsolved issue, and that includes using all tools at your disposal.

ROTFLMFAO!!!

Yup, I wouldn’t be knocking either. Thank you for your service. Amazon?

They’re just smartphone apps as a way to interact with Lemmy, versus visiting it in a browser. If you mostly use Lemmy on desktop, search ‘lemmy frontend’ for other options.

Is docker virtualized or otherwise emulating something? It’s just a way to package things, like an installer? Then it’s bare metal.

I had to look this up too, I thought docker containers were virtualized.

That would make sense if the cause is some looping from hanging DNS lookups. Someone should (and likely has) notified the devs about this.

Another possible solution, from https://help.nextcloud.com/t/server-hangs-and-then-is-fine-for-a-bit-then-hangs-again/153917/16

Perhaps change ‘by’ for ‘next to’ and put an empty weather-resistant container by them? Put it before the bins, so it’s the first thing they physically walk to.

I’m not sure where you live, but our XYZ (USPS, Amazon, UPS) drivers almost never knock or ring the bell. FedEx is the only one that does, and they don’t come very often. Maybe all the drivers know our house and don’t want to hear the dogs. Honestly it’s appreciated, I don’t care to answer the door without prior notice, doubly so if no one is actually there when I do.

USPS drivers just want to get done for the day and go home, but Amazon (definitely) and UPS (I think) get docked for taking over X time per delivery. If someone comes to the door to talk to you and ask you something, that could really mess with your times.

Works fine on Boost.

I tried Sync for a couple hours before I uninstalled.

You're looking at it very black and white, as if you can't live in a peaceful more remote area but still visit with friends and have them over, socialize at work, etc. After all, if you live in a city you don't live with or talk to all the people you see, they're just there, noise in the background.

In theory, if I were to use an online solution, bad actors wouldn't be able to pull my vault from memory.

It's the same issue once you login to your vault via browser extension. They have to download your vault locally on login to decrypt it when you enter your password anyway*. Even if they don't store your vault password in memory, they either store the entire vault (unlikely for size reasons) or a more temporary key to access the vault. Local compromise is full compromise already.

*If they don't, then they either made a giant technological leap, or they're storing your passwords on a simple database on their servers and that's not what you want from a password manager.

Yup, I have been using KeePassXC locally since (one of) the first big LastPass breaches. I thought "password manager company… they know encryption" and then kept some of the most important things stored in my vault including notes of Bitcoin seedphrases etc. Thought "even if they get hacked, they wouldn't let anyone exfil the huge amount of data from the USER VAULT SERVER… thought "my passphrase is like 25-30 chars long, nobody will crack that"…

5 years after my last login and I find out the breach happened, user vaults were exfil'd, the encryption was absolute shit, and the notes weren't even encrypted.

I don't trust cloud companies to keep promises or know what they're doing today. and anything self-hosted isnt Internet accessable unless it's on dedicated hardware subnetted off and wouldn't matter if it got hacked.

Reminder that only 8% of USA prisons are for-profit (I.e. private prisons).

Also a reminder that 2 out of every 3 workers in state and federal prisons still have jobs creating for-profit things.
