Yeah you echo my thoughts actually. That efficiency could be found in multiple areas, including deepseek. That perhaps too that some other political things may be a bit more uncertain.

Every day hearing stuff about Trump is eating away at me. I remember four years ago. Depression settled in. I’m afraid for the next four years of this. It’s only been like 5 weeks.

Put it on Facebook! Ol’ Zuck decided all the guardrails pretty much needed to go so. Post and do whatever. Plus, the people who should see it most are those still hanging around on Facebook 🤣

Rules for thee and not for me, plus we PROFIT off of it to boot. But none of you guys can do that. Only for Richys.

Burn-inducing

I just dumped pcloud. Also a surprising increase in fake pcloud emails trying desperately for me to click them. My email provider flags them over real pcloud ones. Still. Someone is spamming the shit out of me for that. I’d say pcloud isn’t worth sticking with.

Edit: For clarity, I never trusted them. Anything I had there was protected with 2FA login and also I used Cryptomator. Still, I am not keeping anything there any longer.

Yeah. Steam and I are getting older. Would be nice to adjust simple things like text size in the tool.

Also that ‘Live’ shit bothers me. Live means live. Not ‘was recorded live, and now presented perpetually as LIVE’

The Death report for Kurt Cobain. Mostly from morbid curiosity and a love for Nirvana. I don’t do that for everyone or anything like that. That’s the weirdest one. 😅

I mean. It’s different from most hotels I’ve ever seen. lol. I would be surprised that you guys legit didn’t notice…

Some days I put true effort into checking things deeper. Sometimes I’m more ‘cursory’ looking. Usually I try not to comment without looking to avoid this exact situation.

However. Foot meet mouth. Your post is great and I simply didn’t read it deeper before commenting. I apologize medhir.

Yeah I understand some basic need. Like. Feeds are updated. But not this ‘imma track everything you click or say or do’ then profile you and funnel trash to you.

I do get there is some nuance in there. I just knee-jerked thinking we are already moving back toward what we try to get away from.

I then misunderstood frankly. Thanks!

I just didn’t want to see these new things turning right back into Twitter or Insta etc.

Fuck Bluesky. Fuck algorithmic feeds.

If this is what it took they were just lazy before. This has been CLEARLY where he is pushing things for a long time now. Twitter is in the Xhitter.

Same, but likely you can demonstrate knowledge and understanding. We have some support from India, and it’s like… really hit or miss. One guy might know a lot (then leaves to better paying job). Otherwise with the low salary the quality is barely acceptable. Difficulty communicating, and often simple computer tasks are still elusive. So if you have and can demonstrate good knowledge and experience of the technologies, you can get a foot in the door.

Never ever stop self-educating in your field.

Have to chime in. I never completed my CS degree because it got too expensive, and I have natural aptitude for computers. I ended up having to work to survive before I could even get the degree. Literally if I hadn’t taken loans at the time I would have been on the streets. I’m sure it’s harder now than when I did it in 2006.

The degree may have kept me from better jobs, but I kept applying out of my league because I have experience (work) and knowledge (professional and self-taught) which you can’t fake. Someone eventually gave me a chance. Now I work there full time with benefits and I still never finished my degree. It was years of struggling. I even re-trained in medicine at the time and still had trouble getting PAID.

So my original like 40ishK is now 60K, and no degree. Cool! Right? That was only for 2-3 years of school. If it had actually been affordable instead of a pig slaughter for cash, I would have got the degree.

Hindsight, it was good experience learning in college. Not worth the cost though. Especially if you can’t finish. The majority of the money went to tuition, required multi-$100 books, gym fees (forced to every student), parking fee which didn’t guarantee parking availability, and many many other nickel-dime expenses they strong arm students over (fees). I didn’t have time to work as a full time student so whatever was left, went to rent. Food. Electric.

It’s very hard to do this without support from family, and inflation and everything else is worse today. So yeah.

Learn from my experiences if you can. Maybe it can all be worth it for me, if someone does just that. Bless you all and your journeys.

DMV isn’t a judge and has no power over a court order lol. It’s also ridiculous that employees have to deal with this kind of abuse in the first place. It sounds like she was bad ass though.

You’ve a lot of this stuff eh? What is the draw for you? Are they blank on the other sides? Like unsent ones or? It would be fun to look through them and also a great way to share.

I urge you to consider WEBP format perhaps. Its quality remains and the file sizes are much smaller. Saving you room for more. Also if you do scan these, mayb something like a Doxie would work. I have an old one which is fantastic and quick for single side scans of this size, and no need for the lifting of flatbed and swapping. Saving much time if you have many.
