Bull. This is corporate propaganda for the grind culture, the same capitalist culture that is currently grinding the middle class into the gutter.

I love my job. I'm pretty fucking good at it, probably wouldn't be much good at anything else. But, I wouldn't do it for free. I wouldn't do it if I didn't need a job. And I still get burnt out on the constant demands it makes on my time and energy. Turns out, humans value play over obligation. We are most fulfilled, happy, and joyful at play. Play is like the opposite of obligation. The only thing worse than being forced to work is watching as your play (fulfilling thing you enjoy doing) turns to work (that thing you're obligated to do for survival).

It's the time that is the difference, not the bullshit fallacy of "do what you love". If we could all survive off of a 3-4 day work week and a 3-4 day weekend, that might actually make a dent on those problems. We might all find we're all a lot less stressed, fulfilled, and able to connect more meaningfully with the rest of humanity.

Every university needs a cool bug guy. And no matter what discipline you're in, your college experience will be better for knowing them. Kind of like the groundskeeper at Starfleet Academy, Boothby

Okay, great. Who from the company will go to jail? If it's just a fine, then it's just the cost of doing business. Nothing will change. Companies will continue to steal. If they don't get caught, then it's profitable. If they do get caught, it's a loss they offset by stealing some more.

Things often have various maintenance cycles that need to be maintained. Most tools require regular safety checks (usually performed by user right before use) that you probably don't want to depend on the public for. Batteries may need to be charged or changed. Oil changes and the maintenance of other consumable parts. Firmware updates. Licensing (and maintaining a record of licensing) for said firmware or software. Warranty timelines for repair or replacement. Maintenance that needs to be done after each use, every time interval, or only (or especially) if the thing sits unused.

"On a previous android phone"

They've been incrementally locking down those features and options (or security holes) over the years. I've used Tasker almost from the very first android phone to automate tasks and watched those features it tied into slowly get stripped away or locked down to the point of being useless.

I like your schema. I've used something similar. My hosts have always been sci-fi space/time ships/stations, user accounts are characters from or Captain's of said vessels. Over the years I've had a TARDIS, Serenity, Moya, Out of Bands II, Galactica, Millennium Falcon, Rocinante, etc. It's usually whatever I happen to be discovering or binging at the time I setup the machine. For nearly a decade the TARDIS was my server/NAS because it was bigger on the inside that survived through several generations of smaller devices like laptops and raspberry Pi's named after smaller lighter vessels like Serenity and Rocinante.

Usually only kernel changes if at all, but they mentioned registry keys.
