They’re all trying to do an end-run around democracy and society, it’s just a different level of power they believe they have.
Sov cits want it for themselves
These sheriffs want it for elections.
More dangerous, sure, but the same basic principle of “I can manipulatively read and misunderstand the rules so that they don’t apply to me”
They honestly sound like those sovereign citizens crap
The social media firms are the ones scraping the data.
They only add protections to make sure they get paid for it.
90% angry nerds fighting each other over what answer is “right”
Gaming on Linux is getting a ton better, but still requires a lot of knowledge and patience
Start with Ubuntu, mostly because it has a big enough user base and following that there are millions of articles about every problem you could have.
Start using ChatGPT whenever you encounter a problem as it’s really good at debugging and interpreting error messages.
Also, your rhythm and timings start from the moment of the Big Bang
“It’s really hard to aim the neutron beam at something so small”
…. Kidding
It’s only a crime if YOU do it citizen.
Corporate law breaking is just a cost of business.
Now stay in line peon.
As an asshole that deserves the highest price hahahaha
Tailscale has been eating my battery, but yeah my 13 mini has been chewing battery more lately.
Continuous Mozilla hit pieces coming out….
I wonder which company motivated only by greed and the fact that their entire business model is “obliterating your privacy” is behind them
Yep, but we can’t afford to “not compete”
It doesn’t matter.
The ultimate utility of the ai and the threat that it poses if the west falls behind in ai research, is too great to allow copyright laws to get in the way.
So either they’ll say that the law doesn’t apply or they’ll make new laws.
Pandora’s box has been opened and we can’t go back.
Gotta pay the bills somehow, and I’m just happy they care about privacy.
I’ve done both, it’s just a rarity to have someone experienced enough in both to be able to cross the lines.
Those are your gems and they’ll stick around as long as you pay them decently.
Hard to find.
Because the problem is that you need
The job is hard to hire for because those 3 in combo is rare. Many developers and systems guys have prickly personalities or specialise in their favourite part of it.
Devops spent have the option of prickly personalities because you have to deal with so many people outside your team that are prickly and that you have to sometimes give bad news to….
Eventually they’ll all be mad at you for SOMETHING…… and you have to let it slide. You have to take their anger and not take it personally…. That’s hard for most people, let alone tech workers that grew up idolising Linus torvalds, or Sheldon cooper and their “I’m so smart that I don’t need to be nice” attitudes.
As a devops manager that’s been both, it depends on the group. Ideally a devops group has a few former devs and a few former systems guys.
Honestly, the best devops teams have at least one guy that’s a liaison with IT who is primarily a systems guy but reports to both systems and devops. Why?
It gets you priority IT tickets and access while systems trusts him to do it right. He’s like the crux of every good devops team. He’s an IT hire paid for by the devops team budget as an offering in exchange for priority tickets.
But in general, you’re absolutely right.
It’s because they appear to be something they’re not.
They’re usually friendly and fun and do all sorts of employee retention activities like arranging go karting and such…
They seem like they’re there almost as union stewards, to try and help retain employees and ensure you’re treated well by management. This is not the case. They’re there to protect the company from lawsuits originated by you. This means that they’ll apply rules and such in ways that are not usually beneficial to you.
They’re actually really helpful if you have issues with a coworker! However, you need to remember that despite how friendly they seem, they’re not actually in your corner, they have their own agenda.
So the simple answer is that they aren’t bad at all, but it can feel bad if you thought they were your friend.
Someone is running a smear campaign on Firefox, and I don’t know why.
The tech doesn’t track you, it’s very clear on that but the misinformation about it keeps popping up everywhere.
Yes, I think you misunderstood what I meant, I think we’re saying the same thing.
They both are “manipulatively reading the rules” to make the rules seem say something that gives them more power than they have and zero responsibility to their neighbour, city, state or country
Same basic principle of “things mean what I want them to mean”
