I take it schools aren't teaching tech literacy. We wouldn't want the kids to get in the way of our overlord marketing agencies.

What is more annoying?
-
having some asshole leaning over the bench blowing smoke in your face, trying to hit on you, while your in mourning, and you're crying cause your world is being torn apart.
-
or the asshole, who breaks out a sketch pad and starts drawing the situation
I don’t think the language should have to do with the comfort of the person delivering death

Thanks Sagifurious, this person knows his trucks. But provides little to the conversation with their straw man fallacies, and troll like rebuttals.

Keep this quiet, but VPN to UK and sign up for channel 4. They have commercials, but UK does much funnier commercials than across the pond.

Docker is a moderately sized step beyond VM.
I might recommend setting up VMs with something easy like VirtuaBox. When you have that figured out move on to Docker.
If your a casual user VMs are likely sufficient.
I'm not quite sure what your hang-up is? Is it the word slave? If that is it, then the employees of Amazon are the wage-slaves that deserve due credit. Where as I might consider myself a slave in the sense that I find myself answering to their bidding.
- Jack up rates, yes master.
- Interrupt us with ads, sure go ahead master
- disrupting buying patterns, always you master
My sense of freedom from Amazon is not up for debate.
So what is your @hogmamma@lemmy.world relationship with Amazon?
A few things
-
Amazon years their employees like shit. Pay and treat them properly. Our gadget for $20 less than we can get from another store is subsidized by those workers.
-
the commercials on Prime video. I specifically pay to watch shows, and not be interrupted and pitched dish soap. That was the deal
-
removing the option of prime delivery will mean I will source my options more fairly to local sellers
In the end, I feel less dirty by not having that option. In the long run, will Amazon serve me better? The enshitification of the internet has taught me the answer will be no.
I cancelled my subscription. I've haven't felt this free in a while. I'm no longer a slave to Amazon.
I used awk to migrate users from one system to another. I created template scripts for setting up the user in the new system, I dumped the data from the old system, then used awk to process the dump and create scripts for each user in the new system. That was a fun project.
Yeah, I'm sorry to say that is a result of good marketing. I work at a university and we have experience with a good number of XPS laptops.
We saw at least a 60% problem rate, and Dell's support was dog slow. Batteries being the weak spot. Because it's thin it is more fragile, we saw a number of broken screens, and keyboards. One survived a Gatorade spill, but another failed after a water spill. Go figure
A three year warranty helped, but we were out of a laptop for months at a time, more than once on the same laptop.
Ultra thin laptops look cool, but suck in almost every other way. If you need thin then get a MacBook Air.
Think of the children. That poor Thirteen yo boy who doesn't have the luxury of Sears catalogs on the coffee table. Or hustler magazines on display in every corner store. He just wants the see a pair of boobies /s

A sense of optimism is gone right now — or it’s at least really strained. There are challenges that people are facing that are undermining our sense that our institutions, that our democracies are actually functioning well. > > They’re falling into the trap that there are simple, easy answers that fit on a bumper sticker or in a TikTok video for any and all of these questions. And that’s where the populism comes through and the anti-enlightenment mistrust of experts and facts and science that is running rampant in aggressively populist circles. But it is a very compelling narrative to turn to. When you can’t put food on the table, when you’re scared to walk down the street, you’re more likely to vote for a strongman that says, ‘Everything’s going to be OK, even if I’m going to take away some of your freedoms or some of your rights.’ > > That’s the thing that worries me. > > The way to solve that isn’t to come out with better slogans. It’s to actually solve the challenge of people being optimistic about the future and feeling: Oh, there is a path for me to be successful.
The people who have to face social issues like this are incredible humans. When faced with being an outcast from your family, or being the person you really are, the traumas that many transgendered people have risen above is inspiring.
As many signs have said at the counter protest. SOGI saves lives.
Event in 纳奈莫 by Erica Bakewell and Jennifer Kurucz on 周三, 9 月 20 2023 with 309 people interested and 168 people going. 52 posts in the discussion.
People are planning to protest SD68 and city hall today. They are bullying our schools to bring toxic masculinity back into schools.
Telling children boys to stop crying and suck it up, and girls to be pretty and nice. SOGI is a curriculum about diversity in sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics. These are backed by medical science from the past 50 years after WW2.
I will be there to support our schools and our children. With the message that you're okay the way you are. If you're different from what the world says you should be, that is okay. You're not alone in being different, you're not an alien, there are other people that feel that way too. You can find love, you can succeed in today's world. Be your best self, be you, just be.

Which creates more bureaucracy on to of an already bureaucratic system. Genius
