But somehow they’ll still expect you to have tailored resumes and cover letters. This is the one positive thing that’s come out of “Ai” writing: Spend 2 seconds generating some tailored business jargon they love so much, which is still 2 seconds more than any effort they’d bother with on their end.

“Ha! Yeah right. You’re TOO PERFECT. This must be fake, obviously. You can’t fool me! NEXT.”

Man isn’t that fun, getting punished by educators for outsmarting them?

“Kick em’ right in the future! That’ll teach ya ta have an inquiring mind around HERE!”

Yeah I honestly agree. Memories is a vast improvement, so much so that it should just be the default at this point. I went so far as to get a menu customizer addon to just remove Nextcloud Photos as an option. I feel like it puts off new users more then helps anything.

I’m glad there’s other options like the OP link, but I seriously enjoy Memories / Nextcloud for hosting it on my own hardware. Very little maintenance, has an app. Uploads from my phone whenever I plug it in to charge. Basically more than enough feature parity with Google photos that I could finally dump that mess. :)

My gosh, you’re right. They always say “In my professional medical opinion” or “within a reasonable degree of medical certainty”…I always found it reasonable wording because we’re indeed a litigious society and nobody can be 100% certain…

… But is a major function of that paradigm just to allow the likes of insurance companies or random senators to say “That’s just like, your opinion, man” at them? :|

(Effectively: "The Lebowski Shutdown " maneuver)

I don’t have to register my Internet handle with the FCC right? • • • :D • • • right?

Hang on there. Yes, NextCloud photos is kinda a dump, not gonna lie. Do not like.

But Nextcloud Memories is a labor of love, and it’s been freaking AWESOME. A little bit of Docker knowhow and the NextCloud AiO image is a great combo.

So glad I don’t have to register my internet handle with the FCC :D

The line between dystopic memes and Black Mirror is getting hella blurry :|

“Better come heavily armed and send bachelors.”

It’s amazing how low on the ladder American doctors’ opinions are!

Far below politicians, bosses, and most of all insurance companies, who, as we all know, possess way more hands on medical training. (is /s even needed!? Lol)

Hah. Hah.

Our sick days / PTO were the same pool. Flu or family trip, you still only got “one week’s worth of hours” off per year.

This was part time, but still insane.

Yeah, not to mention the anxiety of “If I don’t satisfy them with some answer now, they’re gonna drag me into a ‘little talk for a moment’ later that’ll feel like an interrogation.”

I think we really need workshops on training and resilience on how to talk to bosses and not break under pressure.

Lord knows these sociopaths have plenty of “management training” on how to coerce, intimidate, and interrogate employees!

Yeah there’s absolutely this feedback loop conditioning where nobody tells us this. And even if we know it, actually putting it into practice is such a mountain.

I’m vehemently anti-authoritarian, but damn if the “yield to authority” conditioning isn’t shock-collaring me every time some douche in a suit wants to talk to me like I’m a child in trouble.

Ah, so basically “The Department of Just Asking Questions.” 🤢

I know KDE’s Dolphin has this built in, but I’m so afraid to use it because I imagine it’ll take ages, and it wouldn’t be recognized by anything else. 😬

It goes the opposite way for wanting to reproduce, too. That is, myself and my wife decided we would try to start a family, and she’s apparently fine, but something isn’t working on my side of things. (Her doc even said “Don’t worry about it, men tend to be an easy fix.”)

There’s a million programs and special coverages and stuff for women’s fertility, but all I asked is “Hey can we just diagnose what’s wrong with me? I don’t want super-swimmer-syrum or something I just wanna know.”

They refuse to consider it urology or any kind of “men’s health”, and keep wanting to rule as “fertility treatment” which conveniently isn’t covered.

Men’s reproductive rights aren’t even on the radar.

I like a lot of these takes and explanations on behalf of the protestors, like that they throw paint to signify “What will be lost in the climate crisis” for instance. It’s clever.

But also, asymmetrical warfare is very much about winning “hearts and minds.” If all you do is petty vandalism to annoy and or sabotage other working class people, you just succeed in pissing them off while the actual culprits are still laughing their way to the bank.

Worse, it makes it much easier for them to get public support in crushing your movement by turning your own class against you. You’ve then raised awareness that “People dressed like this are a public nuisance that will get in your way” more than climate change.

Most average people don’t know what they can do to actively sabotage the oil industry. Myself included, I feel pretty damn hand-bound when a lot of issues are systemic, like unwalkable cities and forced commutes for instance.

What’s the call to action for everyone stuck on a blocked road?

You gotta educate your potential allies instead of merely resorting to performative shock for clout, then you gotta give them the tools to join your plight.

Many groups just shout “awareness! Be aware btw!”, and stop there to collect their nonprofit money.

Awareness is made. Cool. Now what? That’s what we want to see them answer.

FOSS release of Windows when?

Can you imagine if that entire code got released tomorrow, without Microsoft selectively cleaning it up first?

I remember WinXP getting decompiled a while back and people thought it was pretty wild. Can you imagine Win8+?

Bet we’d find a few comments like #Yes it's a massive security hole but don't ask questions. LOL

I think we’d still be shocked at how much data collection it does. And probably how “I don’t know why it works but don’t touch it.” The code is. (It was written by people, after all)

I’ve always felt a lot of Windows’ “dependability” is really just slick presentation and the mystique of a black box that sounds solid when you knock on it.

But what bothers me so much, as a non-career-coder and DIY-computing learner, is whenever a corporate product breaks, everything is obfuscated with nonsense that is only meant for a company engineer.

At least good FOSS tries to tell you exactly where the issue is.

If Windows went FOSS I bet it would get a lot of human-friendly fixes…and MS would get a lot of new scandals lol.
