Yeah personally I see it as Microsoft was forced to allow kernel access, and crowd strike proved why the courts shouldn’t be allowed to make a technical decision like that

Seconded. This seems like a gamers nexus story ready to happen.

Best buy had one of the lowest lows and best recoveries I had ever seen while working there. The new French CEO made it about customer service, and I saw people and teens who had never considered going to a best buy start going. Stock price went up, people were happy.

Then the board ousted him a few years ago and made it all about profits, going right back to where they were in the downward spiral, completely unaware of the irony. I hope they fail now. They could have come out on top but greed took over again.

Having worked at best buy, I’d say there’s a very small chance the manager can even do anything at this point. They already have such a small level of power. Maybe the store manager, like the manager of the other managers at the store, usually the store locator can do that. They have authority to actually just give away a laptop and eat the cost, maybe they can disable the cheap ass shipping options

I’m guessing lawyers drew it up as a standard tos and they threw it over the fence tbh

But they can stack the deck heavily in their favor, and you don’t have the same legal protections anymore. Who arbitrates Where? When?

It’s honestly not bad, definitely the most mature fediverse service

Agreed, this is my go to response to everyone, (seriously there’s like a post a week about this same thing) asking it. Sounds like the perfect place to spread whatever garbage you want is the server you set up and pay for yourself, accepting all personal liability for. Go all cowboy with it!

Could try it out, for a migration this size I’d recommend testing it a bit. Try replying to this post via pixelfed

Pixelfed won’t launch groups anytime soon unfortunately, I’ve followed closely and it seems it’ll be out about the same time as Tesla’s full self driving.

I think the best way would be choose yourself piefed or Lemmy, and then you offer mastodon or pixelfed as places for your users to join and subscribe. So it’s a little more natural to them.

While your goal is noble, reality is that I would expect a very small percentage of people to migrate. Less than one maybe even. I think that even a few hundred more people joining the fediverse here is a great idea, but I don’t want you to be discouraged when it doesn’t turn out the way you hope. People love their platforms. (I also just read your last paragraph after writing this, my bad, glad you’re in the right headspace :)

Agree with this guy. If you like, I’ve done the tech job hunt too many times now, feel free to DM me your linked in and I’d be happy to give impressions on it

They probably will, doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be shamed for parking in the middle of the walk

There is more than one spiderman

I honestly agree. The casting of the movies was perfect in my opinion. Mr and Mrs Weasley. Snape. Trewlawney, mcGonagle. Harry, Ron, Hermione. It was great casting up and down. They’re never going to get a cast like that again, so honestly who cares. That’s how I view this whole show. It’s just a cash grab, so who cares.

No leg to stand on if you aren’t providing the proof of what you said. We’re forced to side with the mod unless you can prove what you said wasn’t worth removing.

Iv come to loathe the “pythonic way” because of this. They claim they wanted to make programming easier, but they sure went out of their way to not follow conventions and make it difficult to relearn. For example, for me not having lambdas makes python even more complex to work with. List operations are incredibly easy with map and filter, but they decided lambdas weren’t “pythonic” and so we have these big cumbersome things instead with wildly different syntax.

The highest bar to getting into Linux isn’t the technical, the setup, the hardware or anything. It’s the people the ego. Those have always been the largest barrier.

I had no idea they went public

What sort of manly man can’t go buy his own body wash? It’s not exactly a surprise when it’s running low

(smugly) I won’t take that raise because my tax rate would go up. You’re a sucker if you want to take that raise. You make more money by taking less money.
