Yeah, exactly. This is why you still need to sign kernel images if using Secure Boot with systemd-boot. Personally the only reason I have it in the loop is it makes it so much easier to switch the an lts kernel if say... zfs has failed to b

Congress & Biden stabbed them in the back. It's easy to blame the president for everything, but if we want actual change we have to hold everyone involved accountable.

Uhhh... If you think rich kids are well behaved I've got some bad news for you. The rich parent is the one who is going to show up after the teacher disciplines a kid insisting their little darling would never do such a thing.

I don't think observing there is no clean laptop from the store is blaming users. Instead it's blaming the manufacturer. In OP it's unlikely that Microsoft is actually sending data to valve, and far more likely that the manuf

Once the maintainer has ignored all community feedback on said whitelist and then threatened said members of community for considering removing the whitelist, why in the world would you assume it'll remain "just a whitelist"?

Until another change against the community interest comes along. You only trust the "benevolent dictator" for as long as they remain benevolent.

A heat pump is an air conditioner that can run in reverse. Put another way, an air conditioner is a marketing term for a specific kind of heat pump. Your correct that there is no inherit efficiency different. Perhaps what was meant is that

Aren't you? What's the threshold for rich? Top 20%? 10%? 5%? You might be closer than you think. Rich does not necessary mean independently wealthy.

I fully expect to, if for no other reason than the market is no longer on my side. It's a question of degrees.

AWS, yes Python no. One of the few programming languages I haven't had cause to learn. I can learn in no time but I have to assume at the moment you've got plenty of applicants who hit that bar. If you do want to talk my e-mail is

I'm not so sure, at least I know plenty of people in tech hubs that are in a similar position. Certainly anything that reduces the number of jobs you can accept will limit your opportunities, but I'm not sure being open to in-offi

US, looking for remote. 15+ years experience been looking since early January, and I still don't feel like I have traction. Worst job market for engineers I've seen in a long time. I have hope it'll improve in March when budg

Wouldn't this apply to the venue too though? If you don't want to follow the venue's rules for what they will and won't host, find or build your own venue?

No one is asking that. They are asking that they not be dragged into the office in order to fill someone else's need for socializing at the expense of their own we'll being. If other people want to work at the office more power to

I firmly reject the idea that I must go back to having a commute and give up all the QoL improvements of work from home just so I can sit around the office awaiting the day we hire someone from out of town, so that I can serve as tour guide

That's not true. If you patent the Microwave, I am free to heat my food in the oven. The result is the food is cooked, the method is different. The process is a key part of the patent. Edit: After gasp researching (which maybe we sho

There is a certain irony to stating "Fundamentally, everything based on the idea that people should make different choices is doomed to fail." in an argument that everyone choosing WFH should either make different choices or be fo

There is no default. There never was. This is exactly the idea I am saying we need to combat. Building lasting relationships takes time and reciprocated effort. The people who want to WFH aren't going to become "friend candidates&

It was common even before the pandemic. Plenty of colleges offered certain courses or even full degrees remotely.

Work friends can 100% be real friends. There is nothing shameful about making these at work. There's also nothing about remote that makes it impossible. I know, I've done it. That said I would be very, very careful about assuming

100%, I'm sure there is far more than two of you. As mentioned I had the problem at the start of the pandemic and had to reflect on why work was the majority of my social life, and I think that reflection led me to a better place. That

I hear you and doubt nothing about your plight, but frankly that feels like a you problem. I can sympathize while also rejecting the idea that I should have to come into the office so your not lonely. Have you considered a co-working space?

Especially because the managers they'd delegate this too are also potentially on the chopping block. In my experience the larger the layoff the more likely it's a small committee of upper level management and HR figuring out who g

That's odd. I've got a heat pump, and it defrosts a couple times an hour, but the defrost cycle only lasts a couple minutes. Are you sure it's not malfunctioning?

By assigning them like rational human beings? It's really weird that you think you can't decide who is responsible for dealing with a type of notification ahead of time without "endless politicking and horse-trading", bu
