Both of these things can be true. You can't discount the rich and their ability to do evil in multiple dimensions with one choice.

Or be like me and spend too much time/money finding a tool that might be good only to never use it because brain says, "I'm bored, find new hobby" every couple of business days.
Listen, you. Get out of my head and wallet. I do this and it makes me so sad. looks longingly at the paints I bought for models

You also have to consider the audience Trump is trying to please. Who is going to pull more people? Steve Mnuchin talking about Trump glowingly or a clown wrestler that Trump's fans remember as a childhood hero backing their pick?

I am running Bazzite and Stellaris. I have no issues with stability or opening the game. Have you checked your hardware fundamentals and done things like disable steam overlay?

Lot of good points here. I work in electronics manufacturing so I'll add on a bit. Yes, much of what has been explained about solder and flux is correct. I will caution about trying something like conformal coating a board in this setting. It is hard to work through and can beat up your iron. Lead free is great but sucks for working it into the joints. It just doesn't heatt the same. Even IPC build standards have explicit instructions about visual inspections of non leaded joints looking like shit.
If you are planning to coat the board, I would do outdoors as well. Extraction fans are great for general soldering but we use fume hoods for conformal coat. Just something to keep in mind.

I really would love to even test drive the keys or the layout but the price point is just absurd for these things. Anyone have a suggestion for someone wanting to jump into the ergo keyboard game?

I did the same jump, the same way last year. I'm still daily driving Pop_OS! After a year. I went through much the same way when I can over from windows with program placement. Welcome to the club.

So a rich guy who can put on a mask and beat up the poor while advancing the arms race with criminals becoming more unhinged or a guy whose family was murdered and starts turning to vigilante justice and became what every cop wet dreams that they actually are?
....Sure. That'll help. /s

It depends on how the company goes about it. The larger the company, the more established the HR department. They may use their HR platform to conduct the check which may find any and everything. The smaller companies may only check recent background with a local firm. Price is the name of the game. The more in-depth the background check, the more it costs. If you are going to work in a bank or with kids, be prepared to for the company/school to use the state equivalent of the FBI. For mom and pop shops, they may just take your word on the application. If you see a national HR platform like Paycom, then the results can vary depending on the package the company purchases.

They act like its the computer daydreaming. No, its wrong. The machine that is supposed to provide me correct information. It didn't it. These marketing wizards are selling snake oil in such a lovely bottle these days.

You can doubt all you like but we keep seeing the training data leaking out with passwords and personal information. This problem won't be solved by the people who created it since they don't care and fundamentally the technology will always show that lack of care. FOSS ones may do better in this regard but they are still datasets without context. Thats the crux of the issue. The program or LLM has no context for what it says. That's why you get these nonsensical responses telling people that killing themselves is a valid treatment for a toothache. Intelligence is understanding. The "AI" or LLM or, as I like to call them, glorified predictive textbars, doesn't understand the words it is stringing together and most people don't know that due to flowery marketing language and hype. The threat is real.

As someone who frequently interacts with the tech illiterate, no they don't. This sudden rush to put weighed text hallucination tables into everything isn't that helpful. The hype feels like self driving cars or 3D TVs for those of us old enough to remember that. The potential for damage is much higher than either of those two preceding fads and cars actually killed poeple. I think many of us are expressing a healthy level of skepticism toward the people who need to sell us the next big thing and it is absolutely warranted.

I struggle with this too because the (and I will age myself with this phrase) yellow pages features baked into maps is one of the most helpful tools Google ever melded together. The removal of those extra clicks and copy and paste make it a pain to move from. I try and help with Open Street Maps, but the sheer volume of data is hard to overcome.

In this vein, I saw a comment on Lemmy that speaks to this. I'm paraphrasing but it really woke me up. The person said that Americans choose on edge cases and not standard use case. I realized I felt that way about ICE cars vs EV and I am a cyclist. It is amazing how we can have blinders on.

So who has the stogies and bad joke books?
I was just standing there, looking at my bathroom and figured out that my bathroom is 2x3 square room based on the Dubs Hygiene mod fixtures. I have over 900 hours in the game. Am I broken? lol
My wife thinks I'm insane but, what experience do you have with baby monitors and what steps did you take with commercial products to make sure they weren't vulnerable like most IoT garbage out there?
I havent been following this closely but I wanted to see if any of the Clevelanders have an opinion.
I got caught up in this nonsense. Hopefully, we can get ODOT to pay out for the damage.
So, I got curious and set my feed to all. Wow, there a lot of arguments about defederation due to the Beehaw decision. Many **Many** people positing on "the death of Reddit" and the refugee crisis. I get some of the concerns about moderation and ideology but the amount of navelgazing is unreal. Ill just stick to local for a bit until things settle down. So, how are you finding the big, wide fediverse outside of our pleasant little pocket? With all of the thinkpieces being posted about how Lemmy is never going to work, I wanted to see some fresh takes from the good folk at midwest.social.
Hi all. Does anyone in the community have a good beginners guide? I'd like to learn how to do this and don't have a great resource.
Hi all. I'm a member of the NCMC and wanted to let all you fine folk know we are performing in Cleveland soon. If you are local or just looking for an excuse to visit Cleveland. Come by and join us!
I'm really enjoying the switch to Lemmy. This feels more like the late 90s/early 00s when computers still required some work to use. I know it might seem gatekeeper-y but it's just nice to know the people here really care about how we interact and what we give up by using the intrusive commerical platforms. Thoughts?
