That you can't use to talk shit about them.

Some of the stuff being announced about space seems to me like scientists restating stuff we should've known 50 years ago. Like, our star has more than 2 planets around it. If that's the case with lots of stars, then it's obvious there would be of a higher number of planets going "rogue".

Same here. I recently had an interview where I was 100% qualified for the Job, it went swimmingly good most of the interview, but I realized afterward there was a discrepancy in terminology that made me look like I didn't have experience in what they were asking for.

The problem was that, with my experience and resume listing those things clearly, and the company in site need to fill this position, why didn't the interviewer ask a single question, even challenging my resume based on my answers.

I get it could've been a thousand other things, but this single exchange really stood out to me as something I would've delved deeper into in the interviews I've conducted.

In my opinion, as douchy as it sounds, the company lost out on not hiring me. They still have the posting up 3 weeks later, and wanted to spin someone up in 30 days because of a 4 month work backlog. Had the person asked maybe test more questions, they would've had someone in that spot.

I think we did this a few months ago in Albuquerque. They've formed an unarmed alternative police force thing.

I just picked up their new Ryzen 5 4500U laptop and slapped Mint on it with the latest rc for kernel 5.8. its one of the best laptops i've had, esp running linux.

is it ok to post ads here? I kinda don't like that.

Fuck this. I don't like Tik too and WeChat, I don't think people should use them, and I don't trust China, but we don't need the government telling us what software we can use. This is not good.

I'm doing 4 10 hour days a week and can swap my day off for whatever day when I want. That's almost what you said, but without a pay cut lol.

"lets you" Thanks Microsoft. That's exactly the way they see it, too.

FSF: Sign the petition today! Also FSF: You have to sign up for our site to sign.

Sorry, I support the cause, but I don't need yet another account somewhere just to click a button.

I use vim because its got :sp/:vsp, can edit remote files over scp, :E, :earlier, and now :term, plus so many options in vimrc. I don't think I really even need tmux w/ it anymore.

meanwhile I typed a draft of an email with links in it and 2 seconds after saving it got an email from Mozilla saying "stop sending yourself links via email!". I'm not OK with that.

yay for a communications agency approving space trash.

Will it? Dang it, I just uninstalled it because it sucks.

I got banned from using FB's ad service a long time ago. I was linking to sales pages for my own books for a few years.

One day I got an email saying "You are no longer allowed to use this and the decision is final. You may not contest it" or something like that. I responded asking for more information and they wouldn't give me any.

So, here I am, still trying to find a viable alternative. My novels and poetry books don't really sell since then, which is mostly my fault for being lazy, but I was getting rid of a few here and there before.

Sucked that they had such horrible customer service tho.

mint is a great option, or debian imo. I've switched between debian, mint, and slackware for years now and its been a lot less overhead recently.

do set -o vi in bash and watch all your dreams come true.

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, hosting vs guest, but start by calling by phone in whenever possible.

I'm kind of blown away by how quickly people started using Zoom and how they still choose to totally ignore security/privacy issues.

This kind of thing was killing me while reading this: "three-in-ten Millennials fell into this category in 2019, compared with 40% of Gen Xers..."

'set -o vi' and away we go!

I remember a long time ago when I worked for a voip phone company, two of our customers asked for fax-to-email and email-to-fax.

I found out they were trying to fax each other documents because of some archaic requirement and thought it was the most hilarious thing ever. Totally just sending each other emails with extra steps for no reason.

What's weird to me about this is I remember sysadmins always using this incident as a case for tape backups, saying it was restored from tape. I saw a post about it a few days ago on reddit and kinda had a minuscule mental breakdown, now here it is again...

pretty neat. looks like the next gen version of this

After physical, social, and other factors involved in the decision making process, along with the enormous number of choices we have to make on a regular basis, I can't imagine free will having a place anywhere in our existence.

I'd even say free will is more of a spiritual belief that people like to adopt, and in whatever year far off in the future it will be accepted that it just isn't a thing.

it'd be cool if we had a sort of broader hipaa for more types of information to protect us a little better.

And I've heard nothing about TikTok https://www.vox.com/open-sourced/2019/12/16/21013048/tiktok-...

Now if only they would let me use the funds for flights I canceled at any point in time however I please, I'll care. If I fill out a web form in a specific way, then want to change some of the data I entered, that doesn't cost them anything. This especially applies to airlines that have open seating. I'm just a number moving from one flight to another and I can't change the name associated with that number? Why are you keeping my money and taking 100 bucks from it after a year? Oh yeah, "company policy". Airlines suck.

Sounds like they purchased Anchor for the ad insertion feature. IMO, as a podcast producer, this is a great thing. That said, Anchor currently lets us publish our podcast almost everywhere we'd like to. I can totally see Anchor being turned into Spotify: the podcast host, then that being done away with. I guess that's when we leave Anchor. I don't know, though. I hate having to run ads and how we never get support, but have reached something like 150 plays a week in a year.

I hate to sound like a jerk, but if people paid producers instead of subscribing to companies, the world may be a better place.
