People who weren’t interested in tech found out they could make a lot of money in the field. The scene went from nerds who were passionate about the field to people who would be just as (un)interested in being doctors and lawyers. The vibrancy is gone.

I do. I don’t need a bot telling me what to think.

It shows how polished Linux has become

Did you read what you wrote?

configured the ethernet interface as a private interface, installed the DHCP server so I could do away with the router

Yeah, you and I can do this. Most people can’t. Yes, Linux has become more accessible. Most people still can’t do this.

Also, we’re in beta

That means there might be a few hiccups along the way. If you run across any problems you can always let us know, and we’ll do our best to fix them.

I would have thought this is a disqualifier in terms of quality of the service, but if that’s acceptable to you then I’m glad you got something that works.

Papa John’s (in midwest; it’s terrible in California). Agree with sibling poster that local shops are better (they don’t exist in the midwest).

Agreed, and well-articulated. I think you (OP) need to ask yourself whether you’re willing to pay the appropriate market rate for the service or not. I don’t know what that is, but I expect it’s higher than you’ve expressed.

Time to throw your phone out the window.

I wouldn’t enable comments. You’ll just get loads of bot spam.

I’m also bipolar. Therapy is the best solution. Medicine if you need it. No shame with either one, just own it. My brain chemistry is a little bit different and that’s ok. Same for you. Good luck!

Yes. I opted to step away from Lemmy because of political news for a few days and it helped. I took a similar break for two weeks earlier this year and got all kinds of other shit done.

I have considered Tor safe for illicit activities for at least half a decade. Luckily, there’s no need for me to be on there. But this is bad news for people living in places where speech is heavily regulated plus journalists and would-be whistle-blowers.

cd every single day.

Get prohibitive dental work. My teeth are fucked from no fluoride in the water when I was a kid, so I always have more work needed.

I came across this when looking up a quote a couple weeks back: bash-org-archive.com

Look, I’ll do it for a hundred bucks just to spite this person who wrote a pretty good reply. Be the chaos you want to see.

We are not the same.

Baseball.

Asshole.

I tried my hand at being an independent consultant for a while. I hated having to manage everything myself. Realized I want someone else to handle all of that and just want to show up, do a job, go home. Much happier working for others. Might be a personality thing.
