Perhaps you haven't worked enough in a habitually blaming organization. The problem is that blaming is both easy and often spurious. So in the end you still often run into the same problem: a bunch of people pointing fingers at each ot

You can copy an encrypted backup file to a usb drive and then either copy that to a few other secure places or just put it in a safe depending on how much redundancy you need. I use Aegis these days as a backup MFA option for a yubikey. You

Don't mention health issues in an interview, ever. It's unfortunate and really should be illegal to discriminate (not to mention passing up on people who have learned a lot of resilience traits and recovered function) but it'

It's funny, I was just about to finally give in and try premium to see if it would get me more job leads. The subscription errored out. Maybe this is a sign. I think there might have already been a thread on this recently, but just wha

It's been known for a long time that women are more prone to autoimmune issues of all kinds, and yet as other comments here discuss, there is just not much done in the way of thorough exclusion of rarer autoimmune causes. Many doctors,

In the past few years (including this past week) Fedex has lost or broken quite a few of the packages I've sent or received. They took no responsibility for smashing a monitor I shipped for RMA that their Fedex Store employees packed,

For now. How long do you think it'll really take before it's also pitching you products? We might have a golden period, kind of like when streaming and Netflix first arrived, but that will surely give way to enshittification and a

Just to commiserate, I also had a health issue years ago that really threw my career off track. I managed to land a steady job after some long and stressful months and eventually got some treatment that got me back to 95% health-wise, but t

Well, now we know that once any putative superintelligence learns how to wave money around, we're doomed. All the preparatory "alignment" isn't going to save us from our own greed.

It's a self-perpetuating process though, since the productive, skilled workers are by definition spending the majority of their time learning and doing productive things, while the remainder have the majority of their time freed up to

We're already entombed under deep layers of enshittification caused by excessive centralization. So if they're digging a grave it's just to meet us where we're at.

I tend to not ever interact with /r/linux for this reason. It always seems overrun with corporate mouthpieces. I would really love to see a platform take this problem seriously, but I think for most of them (even this one) that wo

I'm not sure what kind of strawman you're building here. Are you thinking that I'm arguing that all or even most norm-breakers are proven correct? I am arguing only that some norm breakers turn out to be prescient and thus

It was always about forcing a consensus about what's normal, same with so much other human antagonization of outgroups.

There are problems beyond just supply and demand. The reason in my experience that someone might use the term transactional is that at any given appointment, most doctors will only choose to focus on one or two topics or concerns. And gener

This is a very concise way to put it. And what's worse is that if you do try to take the narrative into your own hands and bring the whole story into appointments, there's a fair chunk of those doctors that will take offense at yo
