The inside seems like a cool AF venue but the outside can fuck off

It's pretty good AR from what I hear but still AR.

Their phones maybe? But not really Macs..... You can have full root access, edit system files, replace the OS, whatever.

Linux has something like 15% market share in India and growing

It's worth noting that Tagalog and some other Filipino languages share a pretty large vocabulary with Spanish actually. Of course they have huge differences in other ways but she may have actually understood a bit.

That wasn't the point of the comment though I know.

Somewhere in the middle. I certainly saw a lot of the landscape, spent some times in small towns around the country on my off days, and met some people.

But certainly didn't get a great feel of the culture a lot of the time.

Well see there's multiple types of drivers.

Employee/company drivers drive the company's truck. The company pays for maintenance and fuel.

Owner Ops and Lease Ops own or lease their own truck and have to pay for fuel and other expenses.

Company drivers make anywhere from $60k-80k, maybe more on the top end of the bell curve depending on speciality, market, luck. Owners it varies wildly but usually in the 6 digits, but then they have expenses and usually end up around or a bit more than company drivers total. But they also assume all the risk.

But we also work 6+ days without break (some don't ever have days off until they go home), are away from home weeks and months at a time, have super long days, and get no overtime or wait pay.

As a truck driver, kinda? But it gets damn old after a while. And pay is shit (when you calculate how much you work.)

But I did get to see 47 states.

A bit yeah. When you're riding that razor's edge of living check to check it can buy a lot of peace of mind

I'm pretty sure nearly every such incident is reported on in the news.

Now, is it being spread far more due to everything else going on? Sure. But I don't see why this headline would be weird if nothing else happened with Boeing recently.

Unfortunately in the fediverse changing your domain isn't really possible. You basically have to start over.

Ditto. It's great. No DRM. Just ink. The printer is more pricy but it'll save you in the end.
