seconding this; unless you’re paying for it: they use your data to make money and have (and do) make use of your data as leverage to get you to pay more.
setting up your own home server that’s accessible to the internet is much cheaper, but it does come with risks that you must make yourself aware of to mitigate.
my experience suggests that they usually either go into consulting or software sales/relations; it went back to IT because it’s easier to find work due to the lower levels of gatekeeping, which helps ensure that i meet my need to remain in the place i’ve chosen to live out the rest of my life.
… my point is that humans undervalue harms that are seen as less acutely, physically brutal …
i think you’ve excellently summed up the reason why horrible things like a genocide are allowed happen; so long as we’re not allowed to witness the atrocities in the media and we dehumanize them, we will never understand the needful visceral reaction to stop it.
So the risks are undervalued and both intentionally and unconsciously minimized. The result is most of us who’ve seen the inside are quietly horrified and that’s the end of it.
i wonder if something like the Hippocratic Oath could help; but then again the same physicians to took the oath committed atrocities & human rights violations under the eugenics programs/pushes that that the united states suffered from in the early to mid 20th century.
i started in a similar fashion (but through IT instead of electrical engineering) and i’ve also left the world of professional software engineering a couple of months ago, but not because of the bad code bases.
it feels like bad/spaghetti code with bad practices are more common than not and i’ve always wondered if the relatively intense level of gatekeeping in the software engineering field is a manifestation of a false mass belief that an engineering degree will automatically result in better code.
I suspect that this is the story for most Linux users; windows failing at a critical need
windows doesn’t show linux partitions correctly.
did you have it setup to ask you which operating system you wanted to boot and do you still see it?
in 2002 when my windows me computer start looping on the blue screen of death, with all of my college papers/essays/tests/assignments trapped in it.
the recovery media refused to work because i had upgraded the computer several times and i couldn’t afford the $180 windows xp cd. so i bought a linux magazine for $5 that included a copy of mandrake linux installation media and used paper printouts from my college’s computer labs to help me rescue my work from the computer.
sand is merely tiny rocks; they’re one in the same. lol
vim should make yaml editing easier and you’re familiarity with vi should help a lot.
are you using a graphical editor to edit the file?
will nano or vim work?
and it was disregarded to make facts seem baseless; so it bared repeating.
i guess i just don’t like the fact that i’ve paid more than five-star-restaurant for my soup when there are clearly other groups that can afford more and there’s leverage that can be used to everyone’s mutual benefit.
these come from observations at the time of the reddit blackout diaspora and from watching lemmings accidentally share this information with everyone on lemmy; i’m not willing to be sealioned to look it up for you.
eldavi@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Changing key mapping with xmodmap is broken. Is there a workaround?English7·1 month agoxmodmap was meant to work with x11 so it shouldn’t be a surprise that it doesn’t work very well w wayland.
instead, you’ll want to use a combination of libinput and evdev along w gnome/kde tools or input-remapper/wlr-inputremapper if you’re not using either.
They’ve developed mobile apps; got Google to prioritize search results for them; and their user bases are motivated & organized enough to share & curate lists of other lemmy users.
They’ve gone well beyond what other instances do and that usually suggests that someone’s getting paid to make it all happen.
Are they in the same situation as you?
.world and .ee must be benefitting financially from your work; are they helping at all?
Wouldn’t an animated Lemmy logo makes sense since you’re writing a Lemmy guide?
Or maybe both?
