is it not a given that windows would dominate the desktop market anymore?

my autism perpetually plagues my employment prospects and the memories of my struggles to gain employment in the few years since college makes me pitty others like me who are to do the same thing I did.

i have an unfortunate front row seat to the asshattery that our capitalist system as created for young people trying to get a foothold in my industry and i don’t know what to make of it since they, themselves support the same system that’s fucking them over and sometime virulently defend it; it’s a bit like watching maga cheer on their own demise.

only in the uto-aztecan dialects. lol

people who “don’t like politics”

Wouldn’t an animated Lemmy logo makes sense since you’re writing a Lemmy guide?

Or maybe both?

did the same and it’s the first time i’ve used lemmy’s blocklist; i hope there aren’t more in the future

my experience suggests that they usually either go into consulting or software sales/relations; it went back to IT because it’s easier to find work due to the lower levels of gatekeeping, which helps ensure that i meet my need to remain in the place i’ve chosen to live out the rest of my life.

… my point is that humans undervalue harms that are seen as less acutely, physically brutal …

i think you’ve excellently summed up the reason why horrible things like a genocide are allowed happen; so long as we’re not allowed to witness the atrocities in the media and we dehumanize them, we will never understand the needful visceral reaction to stop it.

So the risks are undervalued and both intentionally and unconsciously minimized. The result is most of us who’ve seen the inside are quietly horrified and that’s the end of it.

i wonder if something like the Hippocratic Oath could help; but then again the same physicians to took the oath committed atrocities & human rights violations under the eugenics programs/pushes that that the united states suffered from in the early to mid 20th century.

i started in a similar fashion (but through IT instead of electrical engineering) and i’ve also left the world of professional software engineering a couple of months ago, but not because of the bad code bases.

it feels like bad/spaghetti code with bad practices are more common than not and i’ve always wondered if the relatively intense level of gatekeeping in the software engineering field is a manifestation of a false mass belief that an engineering degree will automatically result in better code.

i think of it as another distro, but with a really good eco system like redhat or ubuntu.

sand is merely tiny rocks; they’re one in the same. lol

i wish i could speak mandarin so i could visit and try out these things that have over there.

i wish voyager had spent more time with neelix’s depth because it seems like there’s a lot there from admitting that he made up stories about being in the talaxian military to his experiences as a first responder to the metreon cascade incident and onwards to reconciling his religious beliefs through nurturing naomi wildman.

kes knew that his comedic relief bit was forced as a means to make him more agreeable and i bet it would have a done a lot for his character if we got to see it that way more often too; some of the most outwardly happy people i know irl have gone through some terrible things in their past and their big forced smiles are functional coping mechanisms.

Only the places that trump can grab us by the you-know-what wo consequences to him.

Trump is teaching me that this is true everywhere

you would think that this would garner as many headlines as the tariffs since these metals are using in everything, but then again i suppose the impact would just a few years until the western world ramps up on other sources so their impact could be shorter lived than the economic impact of the tariff war.

these goals are achievable without proxmox, but there’s nothing wrong with using it; however it will give you a much steeper learning curve if you’ve never managed KVM/QEMU based virtual machines or software defined networking before.

why proxmox? how do you intend to use mx linux, casa os, and windows? do you intend to use multi-booting with proxmox or using the each os as a proxmox virtual machine?

Me for the past 4 years because they dgaf what the contractors say and the employees are too scared of losing their jobs. Lol

That would explain it, especially the multi-distro request; that’s not a thing for newbies ime

This is a tall order of you’ve never worked w bootloader’s or at least Linux wo x-windows.

If you share your intentions; we’d be better able to help you reach your goals.
