I just think its good.

The way I see it, you can have an OS that breaks less often and is hard to fix, or an OS that breaks a little more often that is easy to fix. I choose the latter. 99/100 times, when something breaks with an update, it’s on the front page of archlinux.org with a fix.

The problems I’ve faced with other distros or windows is the solution is often “reinstall, lol”, which is like a 3 hour session of nails on a chalkboard for me.

She had a greek last name. So she’s probably greek and naturally has some of the features brittish makeup tries to emulate

My mom once tried to make it out like wages were bad when she was young, and she mentioned how little she was paid in a secretary job in the 80s. We ran it through an inflation calculator and she was making like 70-80k as a secretary while my wife was making 40k modern bux with a college degree.

God please don’t let Firefox die.

I can’t handle any more slop. I can’t go back to chrome.

So uhhhh…what am I supposed to do in the meantime while waiting for a job?

Real talk, this is a bit of a crapshoot but it can work, it’s worked a couple times for me.

Go hard on personal projects.

Make what you want to make, rewrite it when you’re done and realize how stupidly you wrote it the first time. expand it, connect it to other projects, put it all on github, put a decent readme of the whys and hows of this project, it doesn’t matter if you’re the only one who uses it, that’s called internal tooling.

When you run into an issue with a library you’re using, learn to contribute to open source, file a pull request, get a feel for it.

Put your github at the top of your resume. Prune your top repos so people see what you want them to see first.

This wont be a silver bullet but if you apply to smaller shops that like/support open source, it makes the nerds interviewing you like you more. I’ve skipped programming challenges completely because I was able to talk in depth to the designs of my personal projects, so they knew I actually wrote it because I understood it. So if they wanted to see how I wrote code, they could trust I wrote what they’re seeing.

The benefit to this approach is you also get a lot of experience. You’re forced to learn to architect your stuff from first principles, you’re forced to learn from all your mistakes.

This market sucks, these projects will feel like a full time job, but it can pay off, and its a better bet than waiting. Nerds like working with other nerds. People on projects like working with others who can break down problems and figure things out, even if they don’t know the solution immediately.

There is hope.

To be honest, I don’t think it’s enough reason for me to stop playing with the thermal printers anyway. A printer that never needs ink, what an invention.

damn I’ve been playing with thermal printers and custom cutting sheets from larger sheets. Not the thing I wanted to see.

They’re gonna wish they did a Xiajiang style re-educate and release style program. Boys have been born in this camp, aged out of the women and children camp, and put straight into a prison with adult men who were doing actual terrorism.

Basically an extremism factory, almost as if it was done on purpose.

A lot less money than I would have thought tbh.

the first THUG game felt old during the 360’s time, that shit is hard retro by now.

I just remembered the second part of this story.

Originally I had just 1 top one removed, I wanted to do top and bottom separately.

By the time I got around to the bottom one, it righted itself and was no longer dangerous to rip out. I cant even remember which ones I got out at this point, I know I only pulled 3/4. That’s how unproblematic the fourth was. I only got the other pulled because they were getting cavities from their bastard positioning.

The dental surgeons looked at me with disdain when I didn’t fund their car payment on unneeded work. Simply waiting made it go from “very risky” to non-issue and not a single dentist/surgeon thought of it as a possibility for me.

I had a dental surgeon tell me with a straight face that a non-problematic wisdom tooth with nerves wrapped around it should be taken out, and there was a very real possibility I’d lose feeling in my jaw for an indeterminate amount of time.

I told him leave it there and he was full

I tried to buy candy yesterday and the candy canes had already replaced the halloween candy. Awful.

If you tried to discuss it with anyone you would be ridiculed and sometimes even physically threatened.

I don’t know if this is true. You can read plenty of early/mid 20th century books where characters will outright talk about how they don’t believe in a god. Sure certain areas you could get away with it more, but I think there has always been some prevailing strain of people just going along with the community aspect and not being a believer.

Its sadly either an IT degree with an emphasis in looking at PCAPs and hardening servers, or its doing nationstate level hacking. For the latter, the degree doesn’t do much unless you do a TON of hacking shit in your free time and teach yourself to dream in assembly.

Don’t forget taking some of the worst photographs known to man.
