You’re the only one interpreting it like that.

Some trauma stays with you for life. No one’s calling her a “used up rag,” the reality is that she may continue to suffer from what happened for the rest of her life.

some right-wingers are not comfortable with lemmy funder being openly communists

You don’t have to be a right winger to be uncomfortable with tankies

Isn’t face recognition just going to be inherently rly less reliable on darker skinned people? Their features would certainly have less contrast on darker skin, no?

Pedialyte popsicles are also the best hangover cure when you can’t even hold down water

I still don’t know all the details about how my mom escaped, but what I’ve heard of her crossing the border in the forest at night was fucking harrowing

They started with as much opportunity as the descendants of slaves

My brother in Christ, my grandparents’ property was seized and my parents came to where we are now with enough money to eat for about a week.

Tell me all about the opportunities they had. Don’t pull a muscle at your oppression Olympics though

My grandfather was a political prisoner under Communism, my parents were refugees from eastern Europe.

They had no opportunity to accrue generational wealth either.

Drop was awesome for custom keyboards, cool audiophile shit, and just random bespoke cool shit

So absolutely no overlap with Corsair. I don’t like this at all.

The fucked up part isn’t that AI work is replacing human work, it’s that we’re at a place as a society where this is a problem.

More automation and less humans working should be a good thing, not something to fear.

Meh, I pay for YouTube Premium since it’s included in YouTube Music, and I feel good knowing that creators I watch get more from me than they would if I enabled ads just on their channels.

I’m a devops engineer, so I understand Linux well. I actually used exclusively Linux all throughout university.

Linux works just as good as windows for 98% of my uses cases. And for the 2% that it doesnt, I can probably figure out how to get it to work or an alternative.

But honestly, I usually just don’t want to anymore. After working 8 hours, I’m very seldom in the mood to do more debugging, so I switch to Windows more and more frequently.

If this is my experience as someone who understands it, most normies will just fuck off the moment the first program they want to run doesn’t.

Doomers gonna doomer

I’m on Kubernetes with ArgoCD gitops.

I use sealedsecrets, so all my secrets are in git encrypted. The encryption key is in my keepass vault.

Go and Python :D

PHP and NodeJS D:

I swear sometimes it feels like capitalism is the boogeyman behind everything with some people.

This has nothing to do with late stage capitalism and everything to do with how cheap compute is becoming. Fact is that it’s just much more convenient to have everything in a managed cloud. You don’t need to manage your own servers, take care of maintenance, upgrades, etc. This removes a fuckton of overhead from your organization.

I’ve been part of on prem to cloud transitions at 3 different companies, and I saw the benefits firsthand. You can replace entire departments, and the contract your signing means you’re protected against pretty much any fuckup from the provider’s side.

Not to mention, I guarantee Microsoft’s cloud is more secure than 99.9% of the server rooms it replaced.

What a surprise, the claims were overblown. Glad to hear I can stock up on my Pepsi Zero again, since 1-2 cans a day won’t kill me

RIP gfycat on September 1st

Same. I played a lot of WoW. I was a US top 5 raider in MoP/WoD. I wrote guides on icy-veins and WoWHead.

Then even though I quit at the start of Legion, I’ve stuck around in the community and occasionally still post/contribute, but it’s getting rarer and rarer the more the game moves on without me.

One of these days, I plan to build up a neat blog with some static site generator like Nikola. Or maybe host documentation about everything I do with bookstack or wiki.js.

For now, it just redirects to a rickroll.
