consequences for breaking an oath
arbitrary punishment
not the same thing
or would you rather to continue to let policy dictate standard of care? the law is wrong, and if a doctor isnt going to break it to do the right thing, they shouldnt be a doctor anymore
yay i dont come off as old, and cold, and settled in my ways
\o/
oh shit wait you just mean you think Im immature
:P
sometimes their opinions are stupid. it’s a word. peoplr use it to mean “stuff” - if youre gonna omgwtfbbq over vulgarity in this world, in this time, just go clutch your pearls somewhere else and leave the world for those of us who worry about crap worth worrying about
no, really. next youre gonna tell me my tattoos need to be covered at work, too! die off, old generation- nobody cares about that shit anymore. have an opinion worth a damn? ok! but i dont have time for gaspers and groaners worrying about thr most inane fucking nonsense
the world is fucking burning but, sure watch your language because peoples feels

if you look at the entirety of human history, since WWII is a blink of an eye
fight complacency.
“bombshell”
shut the fuck up already.

I try to be good about everything being installed in packages, even if Im the one that made the package. that means I only have to worry about backing up my local package archive. but Ive never actualy recreated a personal system from a backup, and usually end up starting from a fresh install, slowly adding back things from the backup if I missed them. this tends to cut down on cruft and no longer needed hacks and fixes. also makes for a good way to be exposed to new paradigms (desktop environments, shells, etc)
something that helps is daily notes. one file for any day Im working on my system and want to remember what a custom file, confg edit, or downloaded/created package does and why. these get saved separately and I try to remember to grep them before asking the internet
i see the benefit to snapshots, but disk space is expensive, and Im (usually) careful (enough) not to lock myself out or prevent boots. anything catastophic I have to fix is usually seen as a fun, stressful learning experience! that rarely happens anymore, for better or for worse
Im gonna need some concept art first. for research puposes
I like to think collectively, as a whole, we want to?
Im guilty of giving up sometimes.
I could do more.
…thank whatever Im not an alcoholic, because I figure this is how you start
lets just sa theyve done a good job of creating an atmosphere where a lot of us who really, really want to do more feel slapped down before we even get started
:shrug:

oh how nice it would be to see the world unite as one just to take us (the USA) down a peg. I feel like russia and china are really dropping the ball lately
oh, wait lol theyre also run by egomaniacal baffoons :shrug:
shoutout to USAA banking app that detected my root, but just showed a warning and allowed me to continue. that’s how it ahould be imho
“don’t feed the trolls” is all that comes to mind
because workers don’t collectively own the means of production.
not to be like that, but once some new hotness graduates from 2 people in a garage, the controlling interest is never the workers who have a vested interest in products, daily work (and a brand) they can be proud of, but investors with only short term profit on their mind. innovators- and inventors-turned-C suite executives jump ship when bought out, leaving the real meat and potatoes, the real work behind the brand, to be offshored, profit prioritized and picked clean.
buy from worker-owned co-ops. buy from local crafters and people deserving of the label ‘artisan’. flat out refuse to buy from brands that are a sad, hollowed out husk of their former selves. more importantly - most importantly - do what you can to keep your retirement investments away from quartly-profit mills who couldnt care less about workers or customers beyond raw sales numbers. and definitely, definitely never agree to work for them.
an extra updoot for the unix surrealism shout out. ngl I look forward to a new one every time I check lemmy
The DEA’s administrative law judge already said it shouldn’t be Schedule I, after a lengthy review, and (surprise!) the DEA administrator ignored them. What a genius system; leave it up to the person wielding power to be the one making the final decision to wield less power 🤦
D.A. and sheriff have argued their positions provide them immumity from civil lawsuits.
No! No, no, nonono, NO! FUCK YOU. “I’m just doing my job” is not a “get out of jail free” card, and certainly doesn’t excuse you from defending your actions. You use the courts to ruin other people’s lives when you deem it appropriate? You’d better damn well believe your conduct while doing so is subject to the same processes- criminal and civil. Forget the sheer arrogance of thinking differently -
if you’d think about it for half a second, you supposed justice system experts -
the whole damn thing doesn’t work otherwise! Who is going to bother listening to you, holier than thou police officers, when you say the rules don’t apply to you!? Are you somehow fucking stumped why people just mysteriously don’t like cops? THIS KIND OF BULLSHIT IS A BIG REASON WHY. When you plainly act like the expectactions we hold for each other don’t apply to you, you sound like you think you’re above the law. You’re not royalty, you’re not nobility; you are citizens, just like us.
these were choices y’all made. choices have consequences. own your shit. we DO NOT pay you to be mindless law enforcing robots- exercise better judgement next time. you want respect for the difficult job you do? rationally defend your actions OR as you’ve somewhat tried to do, apologize, and then show you’ve learned from your mistakes. this “I can’t deal with/the system can’t deal with the idea that people make bad choices so lets just act like everyone is infallable” is ruining, just RUINING any hope we have of continuing to be a functioning society pulls hair out in frustration
one of my absolute favs. it’s a co-op where one player is randomly, secretly a cylon, sabotaging the groups efforts.
you can toss people in the brig. theyll protest “Im not the cylon!!!” and if youre wrong (youre often wrong), the group suffers by losing the jailed character’s special ability, while trying to fight off an attack until managing to jump.
best part? half way through, you draw new loyalty cards. sleeper cylon activated!!!
its genuinely hard not to run out of food, or water, or just get overrun by a boarding party. some of the best fun losing Ive ever had
welp, it was a good run! definitely my favorite of everything since DS9 and voyager by a mile. hopefully itll go out with a bang
OOTL- what happened to Lower Decks?
remember, it’s not just about making up the difference per user in advertising, it’s about getting and keeping as many people into their ecosystem as possible.
then they make some cash from selling data, and having more data to scrape to train their models and such. proton isnt making any off your data
it’d be great to be able to easily compare cost and expense, but companies obscure so much in the backend. rental car companies buy discounted in bulk, then sell the cars tens of thousands of miles later at a profit, and that’s before any income from rental
with matter devices, you can possibly do some fun networking, and block them from reaching the outside world completely. then you just need to trust your firewall
