Yeah. This ones actively want to end democracy and replace it with neo-feudalism (with them as kings, obviously).

You're not wrong. Best case would be finding a labor-friendly judge and that would likely get appealed to the USSC, comprised of conservatives and neoliberals, would almost inevitably rule that labor protections only apply to those whose net with is in the top 5%.

So admitting that it's constructive dismissal?

It also forbids warrantless search and seizure of property and the president from receiving financial gifts from foreign governments. The courts have been filled with people who don't care.

I'm sure that will go about as well as when they broke up Microsoft.

Yeah... This is an intentionally misleading study by a neoliberal think-tank that takes money from major anti-union corpos, the MIC, and investment bankers. Trying to sweep half a century of workers losing out behind fudged numbers to make it seem like wealth and income inequality, not to mention unfettered price-gouging isn't the problem that reality says it is.

Very understandable and valid. I find that Prometheus' query language makes a lot of sense to me, so, I like it. Have you tried Cacti or Nagios?

The company that is being struck because it tried to sneak around the union contracts by making a shell company to do casting calls below the contact rates? That Riot Games? I'm not shocked.

These are the opinions of an idiot with no marketable skills.

Certainly doesn't sound like an idiot with no marketable skills to me. You're coming up with creative ideas and finding ways to try to prove them out in disciplines that you aren't terribly familiar with. You're really selling yourself way too short here and should be A LOT more compassionate towards you.

Really, it sounds like you are in a similar place to Product Management.

The way that you are approaching things is about diametrically opposite to the sort of problematic behavior that the corpos using LLMs to bludgeon labor are participating in.

That's a good point. I think that one of the myths that needs to die is that if the cherubic, sweet, innocent, and pure child. Many children, without guidance, are sociopathic assholes. We're not born "good" then corrupted by the world, we're born with some personality traits that may or may not help us as social creatures and need help to learn how to handle our emotions and cooperate with others in a manner that is pro-social.

when they do so women have no interest in them.

Personally, I find my experience to be much the opposite. But, I'm also in my late thirties so, experiences may differ.

As someone who works in software engineering and has experience in multiple languages, infosec, as well as working through compliance with multiple certification standards, I'd be happy to help, provided one of two conditions is met:

  1. You pay me my salary rate, with a minimum of 10 hours, half in advance and report available after receipt of full payment (grew up with tradespeople and a lot about working with clients comes from what I learned from them).

Or,

  1. The code base is fully, and permanently open-sourced, prior to code review. This means licensing under GPL, LGPL, MIT, or BSD licenses, or equivalent, not "source available".

Hey folks! I think this request is right up this comm's alley. I'm sure that we all know bogo sort but, what other terrible/terribly inefficient algorithms, software architecture, or design choices have you been horrified/amused by?

I, sadly, lost a great page of competing terrible sorting algorithms, but I'll lead with JDSL as a terrible (and terribly inefficient) software architecture and design. The TL;DR is that a fresh CS guy got an internship at a company that based its software offering around a custom, DSL based on JSON that used a svn repo to store all functions in different commits. The poor intern had a bad time due to attempting to add comments to the code, resulting in customer data loss.

Contemplating getting a K1 or K1C in the nearish future as it looks to be the most cost-effective core-XY platform that allows open-source firmware. All I've found are compensated reviews so far so, figured I'd see if anyone on Lemmy has a less biased experience.

Any thoughts on these or suggestions for alternatives. Would like to move away from bed-slingers.

Here's the carnage! Was running a long print and saw this when I went to check on it. Was running the stock Ender 3 hotend with a Capricorn tube fix for nearly 5 years. Served me well. I haven't yet been able to remove the white PLA. To see the full damage but, I'm pretty sure that the threads are gone.

Guess it's time to upgrade the hotend.

Hey folks! I'm getting a fresh laptop for the first time in about a decade (Framework 16) in a couple of months and am looking forward to doing some low-level tinkering both on the OS and hardware. I'm planning to convert into a "cyberdeck" with quick-release hinges for the screen since I usually use an HMD, built-in breadboard, and other hardware hacking fun.

On the OS, I'm planning to try NixOS as a baremetal hypervisor (KVM/QEMU) and run my "primary" OSes in VMs with hardware passthrough. If perf is horrible, I'll probably switch back to baremetal after a bit. But, I'm not likely going to be gaming on it so, I'm not likely to have much issue.

Once the hypervisor is working in a manner that I like, I should have an easy time backing up, rolling back, swapping out my "desktop" OS. I've been using Linux as my pretty much my only OS for over a decade (I use MacOS as a glorified SSH client for work). Most of my time has been on distros in the Debian or RHEL families (*buntu, Linux Mint, Crunchbang, CentOS, etc) and I pretty much live in the terminal these days.

With all of this said, I am coming to you folks for help. I would like you folks to share distros, desktop environments, window managers that you think I should give a try, or would like to inflict on me and what makes them noteworthy.

I can't guarantee that I'll get through suggestions, as my ADHD has been playing up lately, but I'll give it an attempt. Seriously. If you want me to try Hannah Montana Linux, I'll do it and report back on the experience.

EDIT: Thank you all for your fantastic suggestions. I'm going to start compiling them into a list this weekend.

Howdy folks!

After letting my dactyl manuform build flounder for awhile, while I try to figure out a good way to reduce the tedium of hand wiring, I got tired of typing on a terrible KB. So, I ordered a Kyria v3 PCB kit and have started the tedium of adding Mill-Max sockets.

Wish me Luck!

Hello folks. I'm a backend guy, mostly using Python, Go, and the like. I've learned a bit of Rust and have enjoyed it for embedded.

With that background I'm curious if any mobile devs can give some feedback on the current state of cross-platform (Android, iOS, Web) for simple apps. What I currently have in mind, despite not owning a uterus, is a FOSS menstrual cycle tracker app, using encrypted local storage only (the regularity of this private information being sold by existing apps is very disturbing to me). This means that my reqs boil down to:

  • UI/UX (I suspect this would require platform-specific code)
  • Storage/DB subsystem (probably just use an encrypted sqlite)
  • Optional extras
  • Minimal third-party library usage to potential minimize data leaks as well as limiting possible vectors for ad injection

So, there's really not much to it complexity-wise. Any suggestions on framework or approaches for keeping the codebase DRY as possible (I would want to minimize required effort to update)?

Sometimes, it may be good for one's mental health to "take a break" from a community or user. It would be nice to be able to temporarily block posts from a user or community that one may otherwise enjoy in a 1h/6h/1d/1w or possibly arbitrary time period.
