Do Palestinians have a right to defend themselves and should we be sending them defensive weapons like missiles and attack helicopters for free for some reason?

It doesn’t have to be neofetch but even in my containers and docker stuff, I try to put a little message so I don’t fuck up something.

Running through a checklist is important. I learned that from a helicopter pilot at a bar but I do think it’s true in our field. It’s not life or death on a server but training yourself to go through a simple checklist (even if it’s just “make sure this is the right terminal tab”) is good advice.

I would say that you should check out Fedora as your first distro. Gnome is more like Mac than KDE (which is also great). Fedora is also built off Red Hat Enterprise Linux so it’ll will prepare you for server environments and your future career. You can learn bits of both at once.

I think it benefited my career to go in that direction. I (like everyone) distro-hopped and went through a phase where I customized everything and installed a new distro every few months. But if you learn the ins and outs of Fedora you’ll be well-positioned to manage RHEL and related servers. Debian is also a good choice for that, at least in the U.S.

And there’s nothing wrong with developing on a Mac while you use Linux for server stuff. Server level code will probably run on Linux but I found that using a Mac helped me when building front-end code because macOS devs tend to be design-forward. And don’t forget that you’re building something for other people. I barely use Windows but I try to revisit it every so often to see how the other half lives.

Having weird duplicate products is not unusual at Microsoft. It probably would have been better for everyone, including shareholders, if they’d been broken up or spun off divisions as they grew.

I’d run but I don’t want Melania to find out I’ve also been unfaithful.

Is it? I’ve only read awful things about Tesla’s workplace culture. They’ve been sued for discrimination and sexual harassment like dozens of times (and they weren’t like micro-aggressions; more like open racism and Elon pulling his dick out) They routinely have (or at least had) a higher workplace injury rate than other car companies. (They said they got that down to the industry average but some investigative journalists reported they were just not reporting many injuries.)

I mean, maybe it’s a good place to be a software developer or something — that’s what I do and I wouldn’t work for “ketamine and fascism” era Elon for love or money but to each their own. But presumably most of their employees are on the factory floor and I’d much, much rather work at a UAW plant than a Tesla one. At least you have a union rep you can go to about safety/HR issues.

It’s already happening in the U.S. Look at New College in Florida or Texas A&M rescinding an offer to a respected journalism professor because she’s a black woman and they feared conservative backlash. Congress is basically having show trials of college presidents and demanding ideological conformity.

The best way to be an accelerationist is in an illegal race car.

Agreed 100%. I should be shunned, if we’re being honest.

In fairness, I’d do that if I had the power.
