  • Knowing how to do many things while not specialising at anything is the perfect way to be replaceable at work.

    Jump

  • That's ... THE one argument that (mostly) vindicates my theory. It is a friggin' 'requirement' because it makes you replaceable/disposable. If you think otherwise, I'm legit interested on why you think companies have your, not their, best interests in mind.

  • Knowing how to do many things while not specialising at anything is the perfect way to be replaceable at work.

  • My point is (almost) exactly the opposite: I'd argue that any of those non-specialists can be replaced at any time with other non-specialists (best case scenario), or with bootlickers, nutjobs and yay-sayers (worst case scenario). In other words, you shouldn't aspire to be the one your boss delegates every shitty piece of 'work' he can think of, rather, to be THE one everyone else in the company has to wait for if they want X or Y done.

  • The least "Genuine" hardware I've ever seen and it's named "GenuineOEM"

  • Nothing too odd about that. For example, Bose assembles some of its most successful products (such as the Soundlink revolve) in Mexico, regardless of the target market.

  • Today's Massive AWS Outage That Took Down Your Favorite Sites Is Still Going On

  • I have ZERO sympathy for companies whose services are affected by this. Because seriously, fuck Amazon.

  • Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC

  • Reminds me that, at least according to Wikipedia, one of the biggest allies of the 'Aryan Brotherhood' US prison gang is none other than... the Mexican mafia.

  • Funny, just a couple of nights ago, I was wondering if this distro still exists. I tried it some 5 years ago and I found it sleek, but its reliance on systemd made me migrate.

  • Actual footage of real life events

  • I always thought not being able to use it's and its correctly was bad enough...until I saw people confusing those and does in the wild...wtf.

    Put your pride on the shelf and just go there, to the Y.M.C.A.

  • I bet it tastes like cheetos.

  • What would you do with a device like this

    Jump

  • NetBSD. This box seems to have a vanilla x86 processor and it has plenty of resources (for NetBSD, that is). You can't use this as a daily driver, but it should be good enough to learn UNIX and/or self-host some stuff.

  • Too lazy to code currently

  • I'm very proud of you, for that simply means that you don't want to become a modern slave, and therefore, that your brain still works.

  • If chickens are modern dinosaurs some dinosaurs probably tasted like chicken.

  • Anyone here in the mood for a tasty, crispy, roasted Compsognathus?

  • Satan himself expressed it eloquently and wisely via his official Twitter (I refuse to use the new, stupid name) account: 'Suicide is never the answer. You gotta outlive your enemies'.

  • And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗

    Jump

  • A couple of years ago, I had a Napster subscription (the reborn, legal variant of it). At first, I was happy to have unlimited access to music, then after 2 years I realised that I was paying 120 EUR a year for music I'll never own, so I cancelled the subscription and put my yearly budget for music to exactly that amount. It yields more than enough given I buy used CDs, and then digitalise them. That way I own the physical media as backup AND am able to transfer the digital, PCM-quality tracks unfettered across my devices AND with no need for DRM or shitty proprietary applications.

  • I once had to (try to) explain to a millennial how to type an URL into his browser's address bar. To him, Internet and Google were literally synonymous. To this day, I can't get over it.

  • The amount of mental gymnastics to come up with (and justify) this is insane

    Jump

  • Reminds me of the most traumatising conversation I've had in a good while, which included the following (abridged) exchange:

    Me: You do know that, if payment for your yearly M365 fees fails for some reason, or you simply don't want or don't care about it anymore and let your subscription expire, you will get read-only access to your OWN data, which is stored in YOUR computer, and unable to create new files in Office ?

    Him: So what? If you have a newspaper subscription and you stop paying, you won't get the newspaper anymore, that's just how subscriptions work.

    ...

    I am not talking about a 10 year old. This is a 50+ year old dude who does entrepreneur's consulting for a living.

  • Whats a European made Framework Alternative Laptop for around 800€-1.000€?

  • Tuxedo is nice, but as somebody mentioned already, its products are re-branded and re-you-name-it chinese products. Same for CSL. They're 'assembled in Germany' with stuff that's made in China.
