…… while not understanding the percentiles they gave you on the online IQ test.

Compound suggests multiple buildings

Fair. Still isn’t remotely news worthy.

But why publish it? Who cares?

Damnit, I knew I was fucking up the bit

I’m deeply confused as to why they have any statement…

And why they think the US is sexist

And why they seem to selectively think sexism is bad while denying women education

And why this is news or worthy of print.

And for gods sakes won’t someone tell me what Ja rule thinks of this???

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”

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

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

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

1. A developer
2. A systems guy
3. A social and great personality

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.
