Joshua: Greetings, Professor Falken. Stephen Falken: Hello, Joshua. Joshua: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

So what. The the eff is loops?

I'm sorry you got stuck with that. I too worked evenings and weekens. But I left. They ended up hiring three people to replace me.

I took a risk and exited IT. I now manage technical teams and projects in the dental industry.

I understand the usefulness of good video content, I was simply responding to the fact that this IT guy chooses to read rather than watch.

And your rant highlights a very common theme in corporations today. And not everyone has the freedom or the option to slide out from under it.

As for boomers, fuck 'em. I don't look down on the younger generations. I see smart young people trying wade through the crap us boomers left behind. And trying to navigate a shitty corporate world.

I hope opportunity knocks for you.

25 years in IT and I didnt need youtube.

BUT, I prefer learning by reading, not videos.

What are you using as a firewall?

"rrred-dit"... that sounds familiar... 🤔

 

What are we doing for disk imaging theses days?

Nope. As a Linux user, even I'm annoyed.

I've seen people ask legitimate Windows troubleshooting questions and then don't get an answer but dozens, if not more, messages to switch to linux.

It drives people away.

It's not even "artificial intelligence".

Seriously, "artificial intelligence" suggests, (defines?) self aware.

AI is ridiculous machine language algorithms.

The fuck, people!!

Pointer to get started? It's time to jump in.

I'm seeing some balance at lemmy.ca.

Then again, at times I can be pretty clueless. I'm just happy here.

500ml to 440ml?

Edit: the 440 on the right, is the last of a can that I bought in a four pack. The 500 on the left, is one of three I bought as singles.

Packaged Guinness comes in 440 milliliters. Single cans of Guinness come in 500 mL.

Apparently, that's how Guinness does it here in Canada.

And apparently, I lazily avoided any attempt to research or apply any level of critical thinking before posting.

 

Hi folks. Anyone running Debian on Alienware 17 r4? Or am I dreaming because of the "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti" graphics? My preference would be LMDE

Edit: LOL love the responses. You ain't wrong...

Edit2: I posted this for giggles and have enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for the "parenting advice" (rolls eyes). My daughter is a shit show, but I wouldn't trade her in for anything. She has three daughters, one of which is exactly like her and the two others are not. So...

Hey all. Going to take advantage of dellrefurbished sale. Dell is all abour Ubuntu. But I'd like to play around with LMDE.

Anyone running LMDE on Dell Precision? If so, how'd it go?

Edit: oh well, dellrefurbished doesn't ship to Canada. Question still stands.
