Did you just call Tessa Fowler a teen?

31 year old Tessa Fowler?

With 70k users we do see problems from time to time, but nothing too the level I would call it problematic.

I hope that is an unfortunate typo in the title...

They are talking about scalpers, not the company selling the tickets.

Landlords are like scalpers: they go in and buy up the supply, so they can resell (rent out) for a higher price.

The people originally doing the selling (artists in the case of scalpers. Developers in the case of landlords) see nothing of the increased price.

We don't need to cook the meat before eating.

But doing so lets us get more from the meat than if we don't.

Humans (or rather what we were before homo sapiens) ate raw meat for a long time before using fire for cooking was invented.

From a country with proper public transport here (Norway): people still drive drunk with that, so having some proper punishment won't hurt you.

Yeah, no.

DDOS attacks cost very little, and most people could easily afford to buy access to a network for ddosing a site like Lemmy.world.

We regularly have to deal with students who have bought DDOS attacks because they want to try to get exams cancelled and such.

You got that one wrong.

vscode is open source and released under a MIT license. Then the binaries they build have telemetry and such and is released under another license that is less FOSS friendly.

VS Codium is based on that vscode source code from Microsoft, and i pretty much the same thing, but without the telemetry and such.

Vs code is open source btw.

I'm not saying it is everyone. I'm in It myself and in a union.

But even here (Norway) there is always a lot of tech and IT people who will start with the "I don't need a union, because i can get a better pay etc. by myself" whenever talk of unions in these sectors come up.

Tech/IT workers in not only the US, but mostly globally, have only themselves to blame though, since there is this weird anti union mindset that has infected the whole sector.

Whenever unions are mentioned on sysadmin related subreddits or communities, almost everyone is very negative, which is a shame.

Or use rufus to create the USB installer, and it will ask if you want to create a local account, and some other things to make installation even easier than it already is.
