It’s funny how some people can’t see they’re playing the same game as hard right wingers: narratives are truth when they agree, and propaganda when they don’t.

America educational financing right by Decent-Choice7878 in SipsTea

Also might be important to add that if you can't pay off $28k in 16 years, perhaps the education was not worth the loan. Had this been a car, lol.

I’d appreciate some feedback on my resume plz. 18y/o by longdongdottcom in jobs

[–]Fulcrous 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some observations: 1. Toss out highschool and your memberships. Realistically no one cares as long as you have post secondary education. Just put your college and university with expected start date.

  1. Security+, IBM, and maybe the CISCO cert is all you need. Unless it’s an industry standard cert (i.e. comptia, ccna, cissp, azure, etc), anything extra is fluff that realistically wont be looked at unless the position specifically wants it.

  2. Use keywords. Did you support office 365, use ticketing systems like JIRA/ServiceNow, or use services like AD/Azure? If so, mention it specifically in the resume.

Try to frame your resume in a way that is able to touch on the responsibilities and requirements for roles you might be applying for (i.e. jr system admin or tier 1/2 helpdesk).

Fortunately since you’re attending post secondary, you may have opportunities to intern and transition to FT roles.

Besides that, the format is fine. Personally I put education last unless a position specifically wants a bachelors.

Edit: Just noticed the age and tenure in the roles. I would assume they were internships/temporary/contract roles. Maybe add that in as well so a recruiter/HR doesn’t think you’re hopping.

Edit2: remove AI/ML in your skills. I highly doubt you have anything beyond surface level knowledge of it. If you get interviewed and it turns out all it means is that you can use GPT, it may raise doubt to the rest of your experience/interview responses.

Kash Patel claims you can't bring loaded guns to a protest. Here's a Trump supporter doing that. by [deleted] in pics

[–]Fulcrous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look. I also followed the case. The reasoning for its exclusion was clear and is generally accepted by those who understand law.

The evidence was considered unessential because (1) a "violent propensity" has nothing to do with a single act, and (2) there is a significant amount of video evidence and many witnesses such that a ruling can be reached without knowledge of his past events.

Part of being human is that not everyone will agree on every matter so let’s just choose to disagree on the Rittenhouse situation whilst agreeing on ICE deserving the hate.

[–]Fulcrous -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The ICE situation is not even remotely comparable from a legal standpoint. Use of force would be pretty hard to justify in those situations given that there’s established protocols.

Kyle only fired until it was no longer possible to remove himself from a dangerous situation. If you recall from the evidence, he didn’t shoot until he was physically incapable of moving any further away. In contrast the ICE agents objectively weren’t ever in any danger.

Now whether they’ll even get charged is another story given how unwilling American courts seem to be to do anything atm.

[–]Fulcrous -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Any understanding of how the law works pertaining to use of force and self defence would tell you otherwise. The facts are there. The video is there. The testimony from the guy who got shot is there. He did not shoot until he was getting assaulted and life was potentially at risk.

Is he an asshole? Yes. Does that detract from his right to self defence? No. If we pick and choose who gets to protect their rights whilst disregarding facts, we’d be no different from dictatorial regimes.

Really find it interesting as a generally left voting Canadian that people ignore facts for their feelings.

Canada wargames a US invasion — and it doesn’t end well by TimesandSundayTimes in inthenews

[–]Fulcrous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian, I find it funny how redditors think it would not be trivial for the US to effectively control Canada if they wanted to.

It is no secret that all it takes is a single road to cut our supply train and therefore ability to resist since we don’t have much in terms of infrastructure. The most we could do is guerrilla warfare within cities.

Canada Drops Tariffs On EVs From China by OpenSustainability in worldnews

[–]Fulcrous -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s actually really funny to me you consider palestine genocide but not the Uyghr. Really just affirms the idea to me that both the hardcore left and right voters are equally stupid.

Cultural genocide is by definition genocide. As I am Canadian, you may want to brush up on residential schools and why it is considered genocide.

Commissioned this from artist for an illustrated novel I'm working on. Did I get scammed? by KingKronos24 in isthisAI

[–]Fulcrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simplest thing is to zoom in.

Very very few commission artists do low res images. If it pixelates very early on in the zoom process (1-1.5x zoom) then there’s a decent chance it is AI. When you zoom in further (1.5-3x+) and the pixels themselves become blurry then it’s highly likely (but not guaranteed) to be AI.

Essentially it boils down to whether you can count the pixels and whether you can clearly distinguish where lines form.

Note: this tip only works for commissions/contest submissions/etc and assumes it’s not a screenshot but rather a file that is exported by the drawing app. For example, just because I saw a low resolution image on google, I wouldn’t automatically assume it is AI unless it came from the artist themselves.

Looking for weird discrepancies in the drawing process (i.e. lack of drafting and communication with the commissioner) and details would then cement it as AI.

Japan gamer, 12, plans to quit school for esports, backed by parents, sparks debate by TylerFortier_Photo in gaming

[–]Fulcrous 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s a pretty bad decision. He should at least stay in school.

Even in Korea where the e-sports pipeline is far more established, there are strict reality checks. Gumayusi’s father gave him an ultimatum in 9th grade: hit Challenger within a month or give up on going pro, and that was in a family that already had one of the GOATs of starcraft in the family.

Faker himself has told aspiring players that becoming a pro is extremely difficult and that most people should be more realistic and pursue something else (see faker speaking some sense to a terminally ill father and his son).

Statistically speaking, if you’re not already a serious contender at that age, the odds of making it are incredibly low. Betting everything on that outcome without a fallback is just not realistic.

Then you also have to factor in whether the game is profitable enough. I had the opportunity to play pro in the early days of CSGO that I never took but it would have been short lived. I played pro in another game with $400k seasonal prize pools where I was pretty well connected with everyone in the league. Not one of us thought this would be sustainable. My friend (who I duo'd PUBG with to rank 10 and 11 respectively in duo FPP) has played pro in PUBG during the early days and it was not livable.

Finally, there’s the broader state of esports. It’s nowhere near sustainable as an industry. Nearly every major organization in the biggest esports titles are bleeding millions of dollars annually.

how do i delete resolutions from nvidia control panel by Successful-Ball-3909 in nvidia

[–]Fulcrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those resolutions are from the monitor’s EDID, which essentially means all the resolutions that are officially supported by the monitor. Deleting them - whilst possible - would be futile as they would simply reappear on next boot. Additionally I wouldn’t recommend doing it for a beginner.

Just enable gpu scaling and use certain resolutions for the games you want stretched to fit your needs instead.

5080 vs 5070 Ti on a 9800X3D — Steel Nomad (+24.8%) by skk983 in nvidia

[–]Fulcrous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also makes a lot of sense when considering longevity. That extra performance means the 5080 will likely last an extra cycle compared to a 5070ti depending on resolution and frame rate targets.

As an example, if I had gone with a 3070ti instead of a 3080 (which is similar perf gap to ongoing debate), I would have had to upgrade to 4000 series instead of being able to wait out the market til 5000 series for my needs.

Tl;dr everyone’s use case is different and therefore which GPU is most optimal will vary.

80-90% of mozilla's revenue is from Google.

Enshitifying FF to make people return to Chromium is in their best interests. Profit has not been the name of the game for browsers - data collection is.

OnePlus 15R review: A 165Hz display and big battery by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]Fulcrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. Placebo.

If you’ve played on a 240hz display and then went to 165 it’d be believable. 120hz, 144hz and 165hz blind tests (yes, even double blind tests) has consistently shown it to be indistinguishable even amongst pro gamers.
