Not to mention with Intel’s stability issues on their recent chips and the hoops people had to go through and are still going through to get sorted out, it’s going to take an equally bad fuck up from AMD for me to the compare them again.

Cruel? Of the places to be stabbed, the belly is probably one of the least severe ones, especially on males, so long as you get medical attention. Stabbing in a limb could result in long term damage much more easily.

You were in the process of being strangled, even if in hindsight you think you did, you weren’t making a choice with any thought of it being cruel or not. There was likely adrenaline at that point, and panic. No one could successfully argue you had the presence of mind to make a conscious decision to be cruel.

I’m sure you’ll have lifelong trauma, and might need to seek therapy if you aren’t already receiving it. It sounds like a part of what you’re experiencing is a form of survivor’s guilt. But no, how you got yourself out of that situation wasn’t cruel.

Holy shit, 10,000 commits because each change was individual (I’m assuming automated).

It’s either woefully incomplete or behind a paywall so someone in the company has access to be you can’t figure out who and eventually just give up.

Sounds like you’re describing that you view how he is depicted as a good role model. I think the best way to describe it would just be “I’m atheist/agnostic/etc but view Jesus as a good role model” or something to that effect.

Or just lean into chaos and go with “Jesus is my role model” with no elaboration and let people make of it what they will.

This consternation is definitely common. It’s hard to apply skills to something with no long term impact of benefit. I’ve improved my skills by finding stuff I can help on in the communities I participate in.

It’s natural to be overwhelmed, so deciding on a project does scope what you can learn, but a hard part is architecting the foundation of that project.

Introducing new features to an existing project is a great way to get your feet wet - it has multiple benefits, for one of you do take a position as a developer in the future, you likely won’t be architecting anything initially, primarily improving on existing projects. So participating in OSS projects is a similar mechanism to that - you have to learn their codebase to a degree, you have to learn their style and requirements, etc.

Even if you don’t ultimately contribute, it’s still a learning experience.

I run Silverblue on my work laptop. I haven’t really used Distrobox, I just use podman because I’m more familiar with it - under the hood though I believe they’re more or less the same though. But in either case, both work just fine on it.

Programming and self hosting the results when I was ~14 is what led me to a tech background. No university, but I’ve been working professionally in both IT and software for over a decade and self hosting even longer.

Not sure how it is there, but in a few areas you basically lose your right to vote of you don’t. Which is fair motivation.

Man, they just keep burying their head further. I still have Windows 10 on my gaming PC, and that’s more because I plan on replacing it and will use that moment to transition to Linux, but up until a few months ago I could have been convinced to keep using Windows.

That was until they popped up a full screen ad in the middle of gaming, telling me my PC doesn’t work with 11 but they have great financing options forn a 11 capable PC. Followed by my lock screen having ads of a similar nature. Fucking gross.

The dealership probably gets reimbursed by the manufacturer for that loaner (and the warranty work).

Reject UUID embrace ULID.

Copilot / LLM code completion feels like having a somewhat intelligent helper who can think faster than I can, however they have no understanding of how to actually code, but are good at mimicry.

So it’s helpful for saving time typing some stuff, and sometimes the absolutely weird suggestions make me think of other scenarios I should consider, but it’s not going to do the job itself.

I use Groupy by Stardock for this. It’s a neat little tool that lets you make pretty much any application into a tab by grouping them.

It isn’t open source nor free though, and I didn’t even realize there was a Groupy 2 until I searched it to get you a link. For something I use daily, it was worth it for $10.

For future reference, the two hour window is more of a suggestion not a requirement. Just last week I refunded a game with 4 hours.

I had a friend that played civ, he invited me to multiplayer. Little did I know, he plays against the hardest bots on a regular basis. I had only done like, two single player games.

I don’t play with him anymore.

I’ve also had no negative experience with VPNs and Discord. This being said, I see two potential factors.

Accessing an account from a different IP and then changing the email on that account from that different IP can look like the account got hacked.

And the specific VPN being used could play a role (I’m not asking you to reveal that) - if the VPN is being used by bad actors, their IP ranges might be flagged as well.

Considering the problem with stolen accounts being used to send spam to their friends and the servers they’re in, I can see why there would be automated logic to rate limit actions. The only real issue I see here is the appeal / support process just not being there, going by your other message about a lack of success appealing.

When working with transient data, streaming it (as opposed to saving it to the disk first) is preferred to reduce clean up requirements.

The complexities involved, even with solutions, are just too much for current humans. Genetically engineering ourselves could work, though I’m more in favor of just digitizing ourselves ha.

Yup! Made one for my mom when the freezer handle broke. But that was simpler, just held on by screws.
