UX is pretty painful. I’m never sure if its bugging or if I’m doing it wrong or working and now needs me to do some other step.

I’ve modded to hell and back with Minecraft, Skyrim, and every Paradox game. So it was kind of shocking just how hard modding in Linux was with Vortex.

I went from being “to forward thinking” in my last job, to catching up with what cutting edge IT setups can be even some state of the art stuff too.

I take heart knowing that despite the pace of innovation the reality is it takes a lot of time and effort for things to really go into practice.

K8s for example is just now getting “boring” for the early adopters IMHO. Its crazy how long its been going and how many systems are built on it, but there are plenty of diverse opinions on implementions still.

Yeah the trend for byod seems inevitable path for client side IMHO. Barring some zeitgeist change

I was asked how to support a large suit of client apps once and honestly to me it was use web apps, and VDI the rest. Strip the clients of as much configs as possible just advanced monitors and run everything in linux containers in k8s.

Let’s user drown in whatever OS they want to and keep our jobs sane and separate.

At least for enterprise and honestly at home do the same thing, but fully byod except those that need a managed desktop (then also Linux it).

Win 8 was aggregious. 10 is more subtle (little notifications now and then)

Enterprise is better

Different cultures have different takes but greek and Latin define different forms of love. From impulsive maddening love (why cupids arrow was seen so harmful) to dutiful love (the kind made through obligations made through shared commitments and aspirations) to brotherly love (trauma bonds, solidarity, commitment made from shared respect). There is also paternalistic love formed from empathy and a desire to protect. And of course love to describe the deep joy something gives you and desire to have it again.

When they ask “do you love her?” Based on the context I assume either or both love as a desire for the other or dutiful love, because both can be consuming for many and mean they would struggle to have that the capacity to share that same level of love with their current partner.

If they don’t and it was an act of lust* or curiosity then they’re partner may feel more comfortable with the commitment to them.

• impulsive love and desire can be heavily intertwined with sexual desire but that is a whole other interesting discussion to me

I know when I was reaserching this as an option for secure development there was a pretty much just this group and jupyter notebooks.

Sweet! I’ll have to try that full disk encryption image too.

Online talk and in person talk differ. I know some people that bluster about how we need to get rid of x kind of people but if you confront them about yourself, friends, or family most people back peddle.

Georgia keeps impressing me with how much green tech (solar, batteries, etc) are being built out of there too!

Keeping an eye out for the matrix commune-os project to get to ActivityPub support. Them and Forgejo and Gitlab work to add AP support!

Old graphic is all Is Nostr bigger than the fediverse?

Any economical ways to run farms on rail? A lot of the roads where I have lived were just built and paid for by famers to move equipment between pay dirt and make their way to town occasionally

Hey you are doing your best and actually thinking of ways to be better. Don’t let critics keep you down. (Just throwing my support your way)

Only possible because of those that choose to fight. Discretion is the better part of valor and everything but we have to stand up when and where we can.

If every person that desperately wanted change for a better world fled for hills the world would be worse for it.

Actually a lot of the southern secession was built on the so called conserstone of the Confederacy that maintaining a racial heirachy of white supremcey was the only way to preserve the white race and avoid total violent retribution from the freed slaves.

And I mean the latter idea really wasn’t crazy most slave rebellions had very very bloody, because obviously they would be (and very justifiably so).

That’s honestly a good point. Anti immigration rhetoric is wildy different across the US in part from this. Where some Hispanics are extremely raciest reasons for being anti immigration with the belief that they are “white” but the Midwest or southern definitions of whiteness excludes them.

There was also the very real fear of spies during WWII. Not that at all excuses interment camps.

Radical is just further left than reformer.

Is that better?

I use it more like free radicals but applied as people. Little agents of chaos that disrupt the system. Again for better and worse.

I mean I guess I could use the Victoria 3 definition but I chose this one since its more contemporary
