Linkedin is seriously a frustrating place. People humble-bragging and virtue-signalling to their colleagues and future bosses makes me want to puke.

You have “certifications” where everyone who clicks through the material gets a certification. No effort required whatsoever. And these people act like they did something.

Yep. You didnt choose to be that way, so make the best of the cards you got dealt.

Must be lonely if you dont feel any connection to other humans.

I guess its the very foundation of morals. Without empathy, I imagine other people just feel like they are obstacles to you getting what you want?

Hehe true. :)

Been together 10 years and no desire to get married.

If we for some reason dont want to be together anymore, it should be easy to get out. Freedom for both people.

Also, marriage is a religious concept isnt it?

Tom Cruise. I seriously think I like all his films.

“Linux preppers” , sounds like one of those doomsday preppers with their their underground airfiltered shelters.

I’ve been on Linux for decades now and I dont think ive heard that phrase to describe our little gathering before.

My entire account is down 22% so it hurts a lot.

Im also not sure if I should sell. Under normal circumstances, I wouldnt. But now we are seeing another 4 years of Trump, and his strategy is about intentionally causing a depression. Its not normal days on the stock market, thats for sure.

Who can stop him?

Im watching humanity going full moron, forgetting all the lessons from the world wars. For the people who died in them, must feel like a complete waste.

Lol. :)

Fair points. Its just that so many soldiers seem to he traumatized by what they experience. If you didnt see much combat, of course you wont be affected by that.

I would fight for a good leader. Someone with wisdom, courage, integrity. Those people are very rare.

None of the us presidents, or any world leaders meet that bar.

No its never going to disappear. If you are referring to people using slack and chat apps, those are locked in walled gardens where your messages cant ever leave.

Email can be moved anywhere easily.

Soldiers have a lot more than that drilled into them. Obeying authority, pushing down your own emotions, lots of shit.

I would never be a soldier. A fighter if needed, but not joining any traditional military. It will kill your soul.

Never met a trans person working in IT but ive seen a lot of them on Lemmy and Mastadon.

So I think its just a social media thing. The ones that exist are very active and cares deeply about being visible online.

I guess I will let you know if I need customer service. :)

I have the oneplus 13, it truly is a two day phone battery wise. I actually forgot to charge it over night once and I didnt even notice it until it was at 20% battery the evening after and I got an alert about it.

I really want to like tiling window managers but I can never get into them. All my windows are full screen except the terminals.

I guess if I had some ultra wide 48 inch monster, it would be useful.

This should not be upvoted by the Lemmy echo chamber…:)

People will never switch. I see at my work how colleagues just learn how to accept the endless shit without even reacting to it anymore.

Every Microsoft idea is always bad for Linux.
