I think you should say the same about slack tbh.

You sound like a bundle of joy. To me it all depends on the situation - but I’ve dealt w/ network engineers that really had no business being over it or any real understanding of Linux, ssh, tunnels, etc. He was constantly ignoring my work related requests that absolutely needed resolution in 4-48hrs so I just stopped communicating w/ him. The moment I gained access to a staging server that wasn’t locked down to hell & back I forwarded whatever ports & level of access that I needed. It’d have served the company better to give me the permissions to open up ports & access as I needed in the first place, devs need access to what they’re dev’ing or running against but given the level of quality people I was dealing w/ I just gave up & granted myself access in other ways vs opening up support tickets all the time.

I did recently gain access to an employee that was on it though & used common sense - sadly they’ve resigned & I don’t know why but I do know it’s a HUGE loss. They had some amazing side projects going on too - the guy was valuable imo & an effort to keep him should have been made if it hadn’t.

Tbh if your nodejs devs can’t handle some Python then you need better devs. I’d been happy to help!

Oh slow & proper growth is frowned upon - taking other people’s money & trying to grow fast isn’t sadly. I’ve been in that situation w/ a business partner & the moment I realized my partner was trying to push me out I was like f* this & you - I’m out. I have no tolerance for bs & I saw it early enough to check out before having invested more than 2-3k of my own money. Sadly a good bit of my time but I was furious & done w/ it.

Interesting, this might explain something someone started to talk to me about recently & I was just kinda like whatever - he’s not trump nor half as senile or incompetent as what conservatives make him out to be.

Could also just say different - children also have an unlimited tolerance for things that are sweet. Some adults I think never get past it much & have what I call super smellers too. But yea it’s like they can also lack the tastebuds that’d help them appreciate bitter things later in life, like most adults do. Could just be natural that our tastebuds from when were kids change or die off sorta, which allows for the fuller palate.

Tbh though I can’t stand bitter & earwax level IPAs. Just gives me headaches.

Didn’t enjoy mastodon? Maybe it’s all about the instance but there are many & over many interests. Tbh I’ve enjoyed the Fosstodon instance very much & w/ iOS clients like Ice Cubes I don’t feel like I’m missing anything at all.

People complained endlessly about Facebook & privacy & stoking outrage & yet are swarming to threads & act like signing up for Mastodon is climbing Mt Everest.. it’s not & I feel people are acting & being a bit silly.

Also w/ how Google Talk & XMPP went why would anyone think that Threads would be better at implementing ActivityPub? Last thing we need is a commercial entity “committing” to ActivityPub while actively undermining it at the same time.

Haven’t read the article yet, but no it’s not garbage. There’s literally not a single terminal app on linux that remotely comes close to it. ITerm2 is extremely flexible & powerful & well designed. I used to get beachballs w/ it though & I think that went away as I went from using tons of tabs to just 1-4 & tmux for the rest.

Closest I’ve come on linux is xfce4-terminal w/ devilspie2 to fill the gaps.

So… 2-3 out of 5 wasn’t a total waste, I’m sure at least 2 or 3 of those presidents read the journals even if the voters didn’t.

Tbh I want to know their country of origin - if it’s the US then that’s likely bs being spouted by conservatives imho. I feel like the left, even far left in the US are all anti authoritarianism, so it’s bizarre reading that.

Reading up on it I guess the main instances moderation does not live up to their rules & is what the issue is about. Whether they’re really in support of being anti-human rights or just incompetent at moderation I dunno. I hope the latter vs the former, guess we’ll figure it out over time - which communities will be ran well vs the ones that aren’t.

Pretty sure with RDP type apps and lower res you can easily push 2 or 4 screens... but yea probably not at 4k. Sheesh that isn't even necessary for people doing productive work. Except for maybe video editors.

Really should be including Budgie DE imho. It literally blends the best things about any and all DEs as far as I am concerned.

Well I had a similar experience with them jamming bad books on me, but on the whole I would say I was better off with public schooling than the alternatives that would have been available to me without a doubt.

Damn man.. if it weren't for public schools I would seriously be worried about what type of education I'd have gotten at the hands of my own parents or the type of private school they'd have sent me. Public schooling is quite literally one of the only reasons I care about science and take an analytical approach to most everything the way that I do.
