GrindingGears,

I’m convinced it’ll be like power automate, that can’t even automate the most basic of tasks outside of really super specific tasks buried deep within their software.

If Microsoft is good at anything, it’s mediocrity.

I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in...

GrindingGears,

Yeah this is totally 2.5 milliseconds down the road

Are you kidding me? Aggressive, unstable and destructive seem to be core tenants for the CEOs of many large scale blue chip firms.

If you want actual penetration defense, you absolutely hire the unstable person. I’m not saying you put him or her in the centre desk on the main floor, let him or her work from an environment where they are most comfortable, and one that supports them best.

If you want window dressing, hire the neat and tidy person, who couldn’t actually penetrate an Excel sheet.

GrindingGears,

I have a buddy that I grew up with that does penetration testing. Like I live in a city a whole continent away from home, and I run into him here or there, looking like a random smoking a cigarette outside an office tower or whatever. And thats what he’s doing, he’s on assignment trying to social engineer someone to give him access.

GrindingGears,

Until there’s no more oppression, human trafficking, etc in the world, the USDOJ and other police forces need to get their priorities straight. You’ve got streets full of people OD’ing during a world wide opioid crisis, and this is how the USDOJ decides to allocate their resources. As a population, we need to do a better job of holding these orgs to account to this, through our voting and decision making. God damn do we need to stop allowing our legal systems and enforcement being glorified butlers to these mega corp media combines.

What in the wide world of fuck is the Lemmy Tagginator, and more importantly, why?

Edit: is this something we need here? I’m not sure it is.

GrindingGears,

It’s like a really slow download. Dial up speeds.

If anything, I feel a lot more calmer and more at peace when reading Lemmy threads. I find the people here are the reasonable ones, and all the other maggots seemed to stay on Reddit. Which I’m super ok with.

Now and then you’ll see someone who just goes thermonuclear on the first response to one of their comments, but they are far and few between. They all seem to eventually go back to Reddit, thankfully. Maybe because they can’t get the endorphin rush that they crave here.

This period of peace won’t probably last long, but I’m enjoying it while I can.

GrindingGears, (edited )

I treat Reddit like I treat twitter. When something happens, I look at it to get a read on the situation, or what people are saying or whatever. But I otherwise totally ignore it now.

A year ago, I couldn’t go an hour without looking at Reddit.

GrindingGears, (edited )

Reddit allowed their communities to get shifted to the poles. My local community is the exact opposite, it’s so far to the left that it’s painful. The extreme poles of either side of the political spectrum are just as painful as the other.

Here we just chat. Left right square circle triangle, doesn’t seem to matter. The threads and interactions on here seem to be with people that are most like me, and not so much with the Ultra Hardcore MAGA bros, or the basement dweller 40 year old virgin social assistance crowd. Can’t say the same for Reddit. Glad they have a place too, hopefully they stay there.

Why does this matter? Do we need to appease the shareholders or something? Do we need endless month over month growth, lest the world completely stops turning?

Do we need SYNERGIES??!!!?

GrindingGears,

Today I learned because I can’t code, I’m useless and lazy.

The fucking people you come across on the internet…smh

Random thought: Windows is largely successful because of Piracy

Windows as a software package would have never been affordable to individuals or local-level orgs in countries like India and Bangladesh (especially in the 2000’s) that are now powerhouses of IT. Same for many SE Asian, Eastern European, African and LatinoAmerican countries as well....

GrindingGears,

I’m not sure I buy that 12 is going to be subscription based. I think that would be the straw that broke the camels back. I think we are peak subscription at this point, it’s getting hard to justify this ever growing faucet of money outflows to these friggin subscriptions. Cell phones are quickly becoming PC replacements too. Maybe not in our lives, but for a lot of the common folks that just want to browse and email, absolutely they are. This is why you are seeing Apple’s OS and Android increasingly becoming more PC-like. The next battlefield, I think, is going to be Android vs Windows. Android is currently free, which isn’t going to bode well for a 12 subscription model.

GrindingGears,

13 or so years ago, whenever the first iPads were coming out, that was my first thought. Why don’t they take their laptops, and have the screen removable that it instantly turns into an iPad? Or a windows computer that does the same thing. Microsoft did it with the surface, and it worked pretty well. Still wasn’t quite what I had imagined, but pretty much was. Apple could have made a killing doing something like that, I’m still convinced (if it was PC based when docked though, not their cell phone/iPad OS).

GrindingGears,

I’m struggling to think of a time, where a thought popped into my head of something I’d like to print, that I went to printables/thingiverse and something wasn’t there. Literally never. And I’ve thought of some pretty random shit…

Any dads here lonely?

I have young kids and I feel like I’ve pretty much become isolated from my friends. The ones that have kids live out of state. My best friends don’t have kids so they usually come to me, but they also have their own lives so I don’t want to bother them. And I can’t really do my hobbies. I knew it would be hard with young...

GrindingGears,

find room in our budget for a cleaner

My dude…oh man, you are about to realize the biggest privilege of adulthood.

GrindingGears,

Those onesies are for real a life pro tip. Whoever thought of those was on the level for sure.

The change mats that are washable, for sure. But they don’t need covers (IMO). You want the ones that are just bare and easily wipeable.

GrindingGears,

The Ikea high chair is like $30 and it’s the best high chair there is. Toddler just had spaghetti? You’ll be out on the deck in your undershirt like cousin Eddie, with the powerwasher just going to town on that thing, drinking a beer, and not a care in the world. Love to see you do that with one of those fancy $800 high chairs. For real, it’s the best advice I can give you. Smartest buy there is. We’ve been really happy with the Ikea crib too, while I’m at it. And I otherwise hate Ikea btw.

GrindingGears,

Is it raining in here? I think it's raining in here...
