I grew up on the other side of the Saelish Sea (Puget Sound). I’d not recommend must places in King, Pierce, or Snohomish counties (or basically any major urban area). I’d also not recommend salt water anywhere but the coast. If you want to go lake swimming, there are good spots on the Olympic peninsula (ex Lake Cushman), places like Whatcom Falls in the North, or Icicle Creek out towards Leavenworth.
Basically, anywhere in the Seattle metro area will be questionable, IMO.
He is one of the people ever in the open-source movement.
What would you do?
Sandwich? Nah. We grillin’.
Good call. You might try games like Tomb Raider or the first Prince of Persia reboot for movement accuracy.
ETA: Just to be absolutely clear, the “/J” was “jerk” like the old “circlejerk” subs, not serious. You probably know that but I’d rather be sure and not assume as I don’t think being dicks to eachother makes the world a better place.
L2P n00b! /J
In seriousness though, I find the trackpads to be very useful for precision. Unfortunately, you have to build up the skill, like anything else. Work at it over time and you should get there. For practice, really depends on what you want to play. I’d suggest something that has a good system for criticals/headshots. Looks like Aim Lab might work on the deck, so maybe try that?
They are absolutely eating the real costs in order to gain market share. I suspect that there’s going to be a mad dash to rehire humans when the bill comes due and the VCs want profits.
I’d certainly say so. I’ve yet to see him even coming off as dismissive without trying to clarify why in a polite manner.
In my view, upvotes are too easy to manipulate to take them seriously or expect authenticity. And I’m ok with that. I think Reddit and the like showed that karma and the like are not great measures of authentic engagement.
No. The shit that you took is more meaningful than fake Internet points.
Not defending his behavior but I would note that he has been actively seeking to remedy his cunty-ness after becoming aware of how problematic it was and the problematic people that it attracted.
(you can prob keep the same username if you want too).
Unless it is already taken on the new instance, you absolutely can. Usernames are namespaced similar to email addresses. So, example@lemmy.world and example@lemmy.ml are considered two different users. This means that there is no technical reason preventing it.
Dessalines & Nutomic put a lot of effort into building and maintaining the lemmy codebase. I respect that.
I’ll add that they’re also generally quite pleasant when I see them on Lemmy. And I haven’t seen either of them involved in being ban-happy. Some will argue otherwise based upon misconstruing the relationship between FLOSS devs and FLOSS consumers as a business/customer relationship (expecting customer service and product manager input on software that’s donated free of charge). But, I think that those folks are just not yet familiar with how FLOSS development works.
Best place to get news on Lemmy.
Are you autistic by any chance ? … Please go see a therapist, please.
Actually, quite likely on the spectrum and diagnosed with ADHD (this is a major contributor to my verbosity, so apologies if it comes across as a big rant). I do have a therapist indeed and have found it very helpful - highly recommend it if you’re in need. Not sure why this is relevant.
Maybe we’re hitting a bit of an “impedence mismatch” here. I suspect, partly as you’re coming through from an Aussie instance that it may be partly due to a lack of context on how fucked things are, labor-wise in the States. Healthcare here is tied to one’s employment, intentionally. It is technically possible to get insurance through a public exchange but, practically speaking, it’s not going to do much, especially if one has chronic or severe health problems. Also, we have very poor protections against firings and layoffs (most US labor contracts are pretty well one-sided).
Is work the purpose of my life? Fuck no. I have, however, been repeatedly screwed over, job-wise, by things outside of my control (Recession, offshoring, mergers, untreated ADHD). It is pretty awful, if you haven’t yourself, I recommend giving the experience a pass. This has made me acutely aware of the impact that my actions can have on others, not just the immediate but also the secondary and tertiary impacts. I’m also the primary income for my household, so, that rather raises the stakes a bit.
Put these things together with the fact that I now have have coworkers who will literally die without medical care (insurance through work - so cancer patients have to have a job or a spouse with great coverage) and it should paint a good picture for someone with a healthy dose of empathy. Because of how labor is structured in the US, screwing up in a manner that has a big impact on the company means that I could be killing someone indirectly. Should that kind of thing be an employee’s responsibility? No. But that’s the reality of it. Actions have consequences within the system that one operates in, fair or not.
As for cybersecurity, somewhat fair. I’m not fixated on it but do definitely have a more significant interest than most. With the overall increase in cyberattacks on companies, states, and individuals, I’d recommend everyone being more security conscious.
Weird seeming personal attack there. In case it is defensiveness from a perceived attack from myself, that’s not what was intended. My intent was to point out the potential consequences of viewing it in such a seemingly myopic way.
Job hunting and stigma: If one’s accounts are found to be the cause of a breach, and it is found to be due to negligence, there’s a good chance of that resulting in a firing. Being fired due to security-related negligence is likely to make it a challenge to get past screening when hunting for a job (that’s what I mean by stigma). And finally, job hunting fucking sucks, in my opinion.
Screwing over co-workers: You don’t have to be friends to care about how your action or inaction impacts others. Being the cause of a breach has a real possibility of getting people laid off, if the scope is significant. Maybe less of a big deal if you’re in most countries outside of the US but, here, the ramifications are pretty substantial. For example, I work with several people who are undergoing chemotherapy or who have spouses needing medical care. If laid off, health insurance evaporates and now they literally cannot afford the treatments necessary to live. Others have mortgages or rent to pay. Execs are not even going to entertain the idea of taking on the responsibility that is claimed to be the reason for their absurd pay.
Yes, it is healthy to set boundaries between your work life and personal life and to leave work at work. But, like I said, noone is an island, our actions in our work life can have profound impacts on others.
True. App-based is a bit more secure than SMS but nothing beats hardware.
You might not own the company but do you like job hunting, the prospect of having the stigma of being the guy who caused a breach following you around, or screwing over your coworkers’. Noone is an island.
Yes. FIDO2 keys are awesome.
As a security enthusiast, please also push for allowing physical security keys. They are awesome.
Yes, but no. The energy expenditure is there, just not in the same way as animals and motile single-celled organisms. It’s, to borrow from software engineering, “left-shifted”. Plants invest the energy into building structures in their bodies that can be actuated via environmental changes. So, for example change in temperature between day and night may change hydrostatic pressure, which in turn causes motion (opening and closing the blossom).
