Similar to Florida?

Fair point.

Well. I think I’m officially out of touch with the newest generations slang terms. I only understood about half of that.

Between the post and some of the comments, I’m pretty sure we’re on the worst time.

At least, the worst surviving timeline. I’m sure plenty of “worse” timelines have existed that killed off the entirety of the planet.

This is just the worst of what’s left.

I’ve worked in IT for most of my career. I’ve seen some shit. I’m on the older side of “millennial”. Not old enough to be on the cusp, but almost immediate after. I have had computers as a part of my life since I was young enough to remember, starting with a 286/386 that my dad used at home.

One thing I’ve noticed is that most companies shit doesn’t stink. What I mean by that is that all of them, to some extent, hide, cover up, or otherwise deny that their product has any issues whatsoever. I did a lot of VMware training back in the day, there were good reasons for that, but I won’t get into it … anyways, all of their training was about how it’s supposed to work. There’s zero material about what to do when it doesn’t work like it is supposed to… Even “troubleshooting” courses are designed to help you fix the configuration of the system using only methods sanctioned by the company, because any fault or flaw in their product must be because you aren’t using it right, or you simply don’t know how.

I’ve known so many millennials, especially in the tech space, that had to fix their own problems because the product, and the company that made it, believes that their shit doesn’t stink. There’s nothing wrong with their product, you either don’t know how to use it, or you aren’t using it correctly,

Meanwhile, here in reality, all their shit sucks to all fuck, and their product is little more than hour garbage.

Yay?

Same.

Such a good jam.

A small but important distinction.

Thank you for the information. Have a good day.

Thanks for the ad hominem response.

I will take your comments under advisement exactly as much as I have respect for your opinion.

Have a good day.

AFAIK: Gentoo used to be just source repos, but times have changed. Gentoo repos now have binaries. You can opt out of them, so it’s up to you.

With binaries, it works like any other distro. Download the updated binaries, install, done.

If you go from source, then it will download all the source code, and do the whole makefile thing, and install the new binaries when the compile is done, every time you do an update.

So the direct answer to your question is: it depends. If you’re compiling everything then yes, you need to recompile everything that is updated. If you’re going to opt for binaries in the package manager, then no.

Was Valentine’s recently?

Time has lost all meaning

As a person who did this for a job in my youth, may I first say, fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

As a worker, collecting stray carts that people left around the parking lot ate up the most time and was the least productive time I’ve ever spent while working. Also, at the store I worked at was fairly popular, on busy days, just collecting carts from the corrales took up enough time that I didn’t really have time left over to make up for you being a lazy asshole.

As a consumer, I put away other people’s stray carts, not only for the reasons above but because I don’t want the cart demon to direct the carts into my car and cause it any damage. I also don’t want my discarded cart to end up causing damage to anyone else’s car. So fuck you for creating an easily avoidable problem that has the potential to damage my property. You suck.

Objectively, returning your cart is the correct, and proper path to take. However, nobody will arrest you, or fine you for not doing it. It is purely voluntary, but universally recognized as the right thing to do. Since you do not do it, what does that mean about you as a person? I think it means you’re a dickhead.

Stop being selfish and lazy, then justifying it with “someone gets paid to do that”. No, that’s not the reason. The reason is that you’re a terrible person, an asshole, and a dickhead.

So I reiterate: fuck you, and the horse you rode in on.

I’m not American, but it seems to me, that to get to where you currently are, the legislative branch probably needed to be already busted.

This just shines a spotlight on how busted.

This is exactly the first thing that comes to mind. There’s surely a large number of average people, who don’t care or have any interest in what Elon has been doing, or anything else…

People who can’t readily afford to just throw away a vehicle because the owner of the company is a shithead.

But yeah. Fuck cyber trucks. Never liked those eyesores anyways

I saw the writing on the wall when Tesla actively worked against people attempting to repair their vehicles. They wouldn’t sell parts for a long time.

They made it into a walled garden. If you owned an EV, you fit into one of two categories: Tesla owners, and everyone else.

IMO, they thought that since they were the only game in town for a while, and have been the largest player in the EV space, they can do whatever they want. Over time, that has not worked out in their favor.

Every product they have must be tracked and traced to a user account. There’s no way to own/operate a Tesla without an account… Mostly. And because of this, I’ve been heard saying that, I like the technology and on average, the vehicles Tesla makes, but I don’t like the company, or their business practices, so I would probably never own one.

The only practical way to get by is to hack the software in the vehicle, and to me, that really shouldn’t be necessary. But it is. They’re worse than John Deere in my books.

I’m any case, I generally don’t support vandalism, especially when it’s in the realm of “destruction of property”. The people who bought the cars could be victims all the same, so I don’t want to presume that someone has the means to just throw out a $100k+ vehicle because the owner of the company that made it is a tosser.

No. I more feel sympathy for those folks. They didn’t ask for this. They’re not necessarily guilty of anything simply because they own/drive a Tesla.

You have the freedom to decide, you do not have the freedom from the consequences on your decisions.

I feel like this is obvious.

Honestly, I don’t give a shit if I have to work for that security, but the job markets have gone to absolute garbage. Nobody has a lifetime career at a single employer anymore. Employers don’t do raises, and just rinse through the entire employable workforce with no care in the world because there’s always some bright eyed college grad willing to take the job for less than the person who has it now, so raises don’t serve companies. Long term experience and knowledge is both highly desirable, and completely worthless.

If you’re trying to get a job for anything beyond entry level, you must have years and years of experience with the specific products and software that company uses to manage their company. Experience you could only have if you’ve worked there before.

Entry level positions have wages so low it’s barely better than working at McDonald’s.

The world is fucked.

The difference is respect.

I can disagree with you but still respect that your decision is yours to make. In spite of any moral arguments, if it’s not illegal I don’t have grounds to demand that you do anything differently. I can provide suggestions, guidance and opinions on it, but I can’t force you into a decision I agree with.

But I’m also not a vegan. I see the world as much as I can from a neutral perspective. Things are not good nor bad, in and of themselves. The value statements of “good” and “bad” are a matter of perspective. If I were to win the lottery, that is, for all intents and purposes, a good thing… For me. For everyone who lost, not so much. My win, in the grand scheme of things, isn’t good nor bad, simply something that happened.

I would agree that from an empathetic viewpoint, many of the practices I’ve seen publicized about factory farming from pro-vegan groups or persons, hasn’t been good. Often it can be cruel or lacking any sympathy to the animals, which isn’t great. However, looking at things more broadly as I tend to do, any such report will be cherry picked as the worst of the worst from an unknown sample of the industry. So I take what I see from those groups and persons with a grain of salt.

Of course the industry, defending itself, will do the opposite and cherry pick examples of their most humane practices and locations. So that isn’t the full picture either. Even news media, largely owned by corpo’s who are likely invested into the meat industry, will skew their coverage to their own benefit, so even that cannot be fully trusted.

As always the truth lies somewhere in the middle, and bluntly, I can’t be bothered to dig deep enough to figure it out. My thoughts on a solution is to impose policy and procedure via laws and ordinances against factory farms for a minimum standard for their livestock, and government run enforcement that’s well funded to ensure those regulations are being followed. IMO, that’s what government is there to do. If the majority disagree that needs to be done, then such measures will not pass their respective legislative process to be passed into law. In that case, the focus should be on changing the hearts and minds of those who are opposed to the regulation and trying again when the number of people who supports the idea has increased.

You make your own choices though. Get mad, yell in the park at strangers about it, do whatever. You’re free to make those choices.

You see, I don’t think it would invalidate any laws… I suppose it would be subject to whatever judge is making the call, but I would imagine that any judge that’s rational and logical would take into effect the concept behind the law, not just it’s specific wording as it currently applies.

I hope that anyone looking at a law, written when that specific body of water was named “the Gulf of Mexico” and determine that, since it was called that at the time of the law being passed, that the law applies to the body of water that is, or was, known as “the Gulf of Mexico” at the time it was written, and the law continues to apply to that physical place, regardless of any changes in name.

But that might be a bit too logical, and I might be expecting a lot from the US Justice system… Or any Justice system for that matter.

Ah. Thanks. I’m not American so I’m not exposed to that kind of stuff on the regular.

Today I learned. Thank you again.
