A good thread on installing win 11 properly
  • A good alternative to rufus I highly, highly recommend is ventoy, basically you can run a whole bunch of isos as virtual from one usb and select the one you want at boot.

  • "They are living in a time when wealth is concentrated, home ownership feels out of reach, and rental prices and cost of living are skyrocketing,"
  • I've struggled with employment all my life, I've been NEET as a period though my family still expected to find my own food, rides, etc, they just provided a place to stay. I was required to do things at home to try to counter as well. All the NEETs I've known IRL have never been NEETing by choice, its always been forced by economics and luck that they either have family to crash with or had cars to stay in.

  • Americans are so treat brained they think minimum wage fast food workers control all prices
  • Because they interact with baristas and other min wage workers, they've never seen and likely will never directly interact with the big bourgeois, makes it easier for us to turn on each other. Despite what many of them say seeing and interacting with in physical reality is belief.

  • Why has nobody ever made a vertical gaming mouse?
  • Going to xth any mouse can be a gaming mouse, just lower the dpi in settings. Because gamers aren't of the age to combine ergonomic and gaming for it to be profitable, soon though.

  • Need input on dual booting Windows and Linux from people who are dual booting Windows and Linux
  • Install windows and do disk size management on its size like others mention, it will break linux's boot loader (and even its own) with one of its updates. Then I take the new fresh chunk of empty space/drive and run that in linux and just follow guides for the OS I'm trying out. You can do a dual boot on one hd just backup your files every day since windows always comes for linux (and will corrupt its own mess) in a long enough time period.

    I have some sort of backup disk usually that both systems have access to or I use portable storage.

  • He looks like he left a mess somewhere and is proud of it.

  • AI Appears to Rapidly Be Approaching Brick Wall Where It Can't Get Smarter
  • This is why AI is a paper tiger, that and climate change and its handling under capitalism.

  • New season of Ranting In My Car looks good
  • Yes. I walked out of the store and saw some new guy parked next to me going on a rant. Once I gathered he was big mad I drove away quickly as possible.

  • I've been unemployed practically my entire life and I don't know what to do about it
  • Sure, its not going to be the most paid or glamorous job, starter jobs won't pay for you to be on your own generally. I'd try for online using that 3dmodeling etc, lots of demand in it for 3dprinting and AI as others mentioned, that or something with data would be your most survival and first steps toward refreshing yourself time and self management wise.

    Xthing there are no good singular survivable jobs, good jobs require connections that 99.99% of the populace lack and always will under capitalism. On reddit and shit you're seeing that .01 and a ton of bots, the most of us may as well be on Charon vs them the alienation is so vast. You're lucky to realize this, but still you have to survive in some way by their unfortunate fucked up and irrelevant rules. Those milestones are also not as universal as you think, so don't judge yourself harshly. Survival itself is a great feat under hell capitalism.

    Its not lying. You've been a freelance 3d artist all this time, throw in all the ATS words. It checks out, you are a 3d artist by training, so why not? In my experience even for entry level jobs you can't have a blank resume, just use your education as one job and your warehousing as the other and it should be ok, not great but it will get you an interview or two at whatever entry level deals maybe. Interviews you don't need to lie, just youtube up common interview questions and practice your answers.

  • New season of Ranting In My Car looks good
  • I didn't even talk to the guy since he looked big mad in that car, shaking in front of his camera and chain calling someone an asshole like something dreadful happened. Not my business, my business is to gtfo before I end up on youtube.

  • Get paid by fixing our drunken AI system!
  • Not really. One week I may be lucky to get 1 hr in another I can do 30. Depending on the company they usually have some set minimum hours a week, for some its as low as 5 for others its 20, they're usually more flexible on minimum hours if there's no work to be had. I've been working at one of the places about a year and its not at all consistent minus holidays, then its absolutely nothing guaranteed.

  • New season of Ranting In My Car looks good
  • I encountered one of these lately in the wild, and dude worked himself up so much he was outright shaking in his car.

  • Get paid by fixing our drunken AI system!
  • If you can speed read can confirm this is the easiest job ever. If you don't get into one or get booted there's lionbridge, telus, outlier, dataannotation, welocalize, etc. The exams between them are fairly similar (and tell you all the issues with modern search engines and AI that aren't getting fixed anytime soon because that's asking way too much competence out of capital). Some make you specialize, others you're a generalist in what questions you answer.

    For downsides sometimes they're looking for workers only in certain states/countries and they pretty much own your phone data, I'd highly HIGHLY recommend using a burner gmail to apply rather than your real one since they make you look up all sorts of things, even fucked up shit, in every language known to <insert search engine or AI here> and it totally hoses your algo. The work comes and goes in spurts, you can go weeks with no projects/tasks around and its super bad during the holidays, prepare for 0 income then if this is your only gig. It's also fickle work, they let people go to meet quotas or just because they can, so again not good to rely on this as your sole source of income. Sure, that's any job, but here being virtual there's no context clues/warning given. They like to keep turnover/firing rate sky high one for the obvious to keep wages low, but two the sillies think it mimics real learning when there's quite a bit more to it than that. You may do a lot of work and suddenly a glitch and they don't credit you or you get fired and aren't compensated.

    Last thing to beware of, and important is careful how you look these up, there's a lot of copy cats that are simply fully fake. Check on reddits dedicated to the particular data rater job/ratracerebellion for reliable links.

    EQemu community is chuddy as your average freeze-gamer tends to be, generally not as ridiculous as WoW private servers but still not good. You'll probably be ok on most of the smaller servers, just be wary there are some rifts to the abyss out there and some of the larger ones like P99 are toxic, foul vats.

    I really miss that search via torrents.csv from lemmy, the uploader 360p knew the bad internet/old rig struggle for movies.

  • Big if true
  • Since I work late I see these rare and shy creatures run across the road pretty often otw home.

  • how could this be happening to me?
  • Makes me think of the gnostic meme where Sophia asks the Demiurge if he's winning and Earth is on literal fire.

    This here though, is a clear example of religion being used to explore concepts which may be taboo in other lenses (or unavailable if you go back far enough) and all said concepts are human social construct ones. God figures are in our image, just like our social reality to a large degree.

  • Bad news, everybody: the revolution is cancelled
  • It would make a great year long series and everyday people just living their lives, making even the smallest steps to prepare the future would help advance it, no it would not do well for the silly great man theory though so it'd be an axed plan.
