i want and try to be but i don’t succeed every day. i hate thinking about those times when i don’t succeed, but being mindful of those times is a big part of what i can do to succeed more often.
this is the correct response.
get it in writing that they accept the risk that comes with not upgrading so it can’t come back on you. all you can do is CYA and make recommendations - if management does not agree with your recommendations make sure you have it documented that you informed whoever is making the decision of the risk.
if you think your employer will somehow still try to hold you accountable for this, save the aforementioned correspondence using something your employer does not manage i.e. a personal device. you could also let other people than this specific individual know about this so it isn’t just your word vs his.
exactly! whenever anyone says imperial units are “more intuitive” and better reflect “how it feels to humans”, i can only think: obviously, you grew up with it. that’s what you know.
no matter what measurement system you were raised on, it will feel intuitive to you and reflect how you as a human experience the world because you are used to measuring things in those units. having said that, i’d much rather we used metric if for nothing else than the ease of unit conversion.
corporation yet again proving that if you want to be free to use your own things that you paid for on your own computer you can never trust anything that requires an internet connection to not trample all over your rights
love it very cool really vibing with the current state of software and the internet
hell yeah garlic
true garlic heads know that the secret is to use both cooked and raw garlic to maximize your garlic per garlic
it really is crazy how different it feels to use a linux pc after being conditioned to think that windows is just how using a computer is. the way i relate it to my friends is that using windows feels like i’m constantly compromising with the computer, but using linux i own my computer and it works for me - not the other way around.
i wouldn’t trust a company who would enable this by default to allow users to TRULY completely disable it. much like how you can only opt out of the telemetry options they allow you to.
There’s not enough of us, but I still don’t care. I refuse to pay to watch ads.
i had this conversation with my dad recently about how shitty everything is now with ads etc, and his response boiled down to “i don’t care enough”. sucks to see people being complacent in being subject to greedy corporate whims. as much as i want people with that mindset to care, i have no idea how to effectively argue against “i don’t care”.
right - obviously when piracy is the only option then you get what you get and you need to do the legwork to make sure it’s safe.
i do take proper security precautions (at least i hope i do, i have a degree in it lol)
i more meant that i’d rather not deal with an executable i don’t trust at all since i’m lazy and generally trust the official sources more than the illegitimate ones.
idk sometimes it’s just fun to eat something really hot, especially with friends
my dad and i did the 1 chip thing a few years back and we got a fun time and a funnier video out of it. not much more to it really
i’m of the same mindset when it comes to pirating any executable - it really is just not worth the effort to me to go through the steps to ensure the file isn’t malicious, and a signature-based virus scan won’t catch everything.
that’s great, but most vegans you speak to will tell you that we aren’t telling the people who lack the privilege we have to go vegan. we’re asking our neighbors, our bosses, our friends - people in similar if not the very same life circumstances as us - to walk a couple aisles over from where they buy the meat in the grocery store and buy some beans instead.
people love to bring up the privilege thing, but i would argue that it is entirely irrelevant. the entire point of veganism is to do what is reasonably possible and practicable. not to tell people who don’t have the privilege to be so discerning about their diet that they are going to hell or something.
you aren’t the only one, shit is scary lately. but i’ve personally taken that as initiative to go do/buy the things i want (that i can afford) now instead of later in my life when i have more money/time, because realistically i don’t know that i will have more money/time when i’m older if things keep up as they are right now.
it hurts to think about.
i say something like this often in real life, but despite it being plainly observable in daily life other people still don’t agree.
it’s on all scales too, or at least it feels like it. moving everything to streaming, always online, etc. want to play a competitive video game with your friends? give a corporation root-level access to your home computer. ads everywhere some greedy ass in a suit can think to stick them whether you pay or not, yet everyone complies like this is normal and i get singled out for caring about our rights as consumers.
i love capitalism i love money
NICE
you’re making me wonder what a whole technomage theme could/would look like
right up my alley, thank you!
trackmania has that in common with basically all speedrunning streams/content. super nice to have in the background since it can be repetitive and you can pay attention if they get a good run going :)
and there are people who speedrun probably every game you’ve ever enjoyed, so there is plenty of options!
hey its me the guy you predicted would tell you the thing you said i would tell you
the reason people say neofetch is useless is because the information it gives you is not very detailed when compared to something like inxi for example
