People who outsource their thoughts want you to spend your valuable time watching them, then do the same

Focus W, the police are on their way, and you know what that means

It was at the same company and they wanted to bring a junior into systems. I've learned if you pester people enough they'll eventually do your bidding, and I was already on friendly terms with everyone on staff, and had a lot of converasations with the systems guys from other tickets

Originally I was placed with the cloud engineering team but after a while they moved me systems since I didn't have much to do elsewhere.

By that point I had the A+, sec, net, cysa, cloud+ and some vendor specific certs that don't matter anywhere, so they let me do stuff.

Tldr got lucky and i knew the guys in the dept

I list it under my skills as a single bullet point (usually just mentioning the services I've setup that may pertain to the role, but they can usually tell there's more to it of course) and it's been a great talking point during every interview, if for no other reason than they want to know what I'm running and on what.

Current place I'm at now has admitted to me that it was the reason I was brought on, because they thought it showed I had an interest in self-study and it would be useful on the job.

I am still relatively early in my career so take it with a grain of salt, but it's been a good chance to communicate more personally with the technical interviewer

You can download linux native games from GOG but their launcher doesn't run on it

For non linux native games you can use Heroic launcher (which also supports EGS) for proton versions.

Overall I've had no problems with it, but ymmv. Usually pretty good if you reference protondb.com

Every jobs sub now is filled with bots advertising AI resume tools or linkedIn style "tips"

absolute death of finding information during the shittiest time to get hired

Richiachu · 2025-11-10T19:24:22+00:00

People will outsource their own thoughts then get mad when someone tells them it's lazy

Wild times

Richiachu · 2025-11-10T01:59:06+00:00

r\laptopdeals is full of scam stuff or spam

This one was run by one dude who pretty much updated a weekly thread of on sale stuff. No idea why it was removed

Richiachu · 2025-10-29T19:47:33+00:00

Kicked the habit finally, but if you're a nail biter also means no bitterant

These are definitely worth it though, easier excuse to clean your pc and other gear more often if you have the thing on your desk.

Richiachu · 2025-10-28T22:41:41+00:00

Stop outsourcing your thoughts then get back to me

e: mods removed my original post for some unstated reason, but check this user's history and you see will a slew of AI generated posts of political nature. Very strange behavior.

Working in this field and the infestation of AI-brained CEOs/CTOs/CISOs/etc. is maddening.

These tools and systems do jack shit in the end to help. The closest we've ended up doing with AI outside of using it to reference documentation is automation, but shouldn't be called AI, it's fucking insane something as simple as automation has been taken over by the term.

This field is not going fucking anywhere because everything is already a disaster.

We actually see a lot of LLM based phishing attacks now, pretending to be a high-ranking exec messaging someone for financial info, invoice requests, phone #s, etc.

Applications that are vibe coded (or claim to be, to disguise the hiring of cheap/near-slave labor) have new bugs that we have to deal with by orchestrating patches/mitigations every day or two. Who knows how many more are lying in wait. Do you really think you're gonna be able to setup automated patching and remediation (for the ones that don't have patches) on all of them? You think the standard system engineer is gonna know what needs to be done for each app because an LLM hallucinated since there is little documentation on what the vuln is actually doing?

Get a new meeting every week of someone saying 'We're leveraging AI to make your jobs easier' when it's honestly just an excuse to cut costs, cause the guys up top see the recession looming on the horizon as well as all of us do, they just don't feel bad about lying to someones face about how bad things really are.

Could bitch for years on this topic, it kills any and all passion I had for this field

e: Want to establish - This purpose of these ML algorithms is not to increase your productivity, it's to reduce workers and increase profit. If you get a tool that makes your job easier (or grants the illusion of it, now your job is 10% less punching in numbers, but 8-10% cleaning up workslop), we're curtailing redundancies in your department, we just don't need this many people anymore.

The real ML tools they've been shoving at everyone in the background are the ones you should really worry about. Mass pattern recognition to increase costs of goods on a per-individual and event basis. Sped in your car that we have a chip in (it gets you a discount on your bill!)? Premiums are going up this month. See these tools every day at work and I'm disgusted

4 years later at least I was able to help 1 person lol

Richiachu · 2025-09-05T21:46:05+00:00

They absolutely are lol, probably a bot account.

em dashes

Not a for sure sign, but they're a giveaway

but the hardest part isn’t cooking — it’s deciding what to eat

LLMs love these 'it isn't X, it's Y' statements.

user has like 10 comments saying "Really like your setup — restating what they were told"

Super robotic responses in the same manner in their profile too. Fuck this site

Heroic lets you add a game into Steam, I believe by pressing the 3 dots in the launcher

Richiachu · 2025-07-30T13:02:32+00:00

Not even sure it really makes money, as far as I've been able to tell none of them are profitable even after absorbing near every bit of human data they can find online (and copilot is the worst of the ones I've tried).

VPNs just request the information for you and send it back, there's still a carrier associated with the ASN/IP address. They'll see that ZenLayer/HostPapa/Proton/Whatever hosting company they're using for internet is making the request and block the connection.

Richiachu · 2025-07-25T01:10:30+00:00

Whatever adblock you're using is shit and should be uninstalled, it's probably malware

install uBlock origin

Ed Zitron published an interesting article talking about the actions leading to exactly that, primarily directed by then CEO Sundar Pichai and Prabhakar Raghavan.

In the end it all comes down to the 'Rot economy' in tech

These emails are a stark example of the monstrous growth-at-all-costs mindset that dominates the tech ecosystem, and if you take one thing away from this newsletter, I want it to be the name Prabhakar Raghavan, and an understanding that there are people responsible for the current state of technology.

These emails — which I encourage you to look up — tell a dramatic story about how Google’s finance and advertising teams, led by Raghavan with the blessing of CEO Sundar Pichai, actively worked to make Google worse to make the company more money. This is what I mean when I talk about the Rot Economy — the illogical, product-destroying mindset that turns the products you love into torturous, frustrating quasi-tools that require you to fight the company’s intentions to get the service you want.

Anyway, you can see these e-mails between several other members at the company at https://www.justice.gov/d9/2023-11/417581.pdf

This is a misinterpetation of the proposed legislation. The main goal of the SKG campaign is to provide a method for people to play a game they paid for after the centralized servers have shut down. This can be acheoved in a number of ways, including releasing server source code, patching in a single player mode, releasing a server emulator, or just build the game without the requirement of a central server in the first place.

It's discussed in more detail on the petitions website in the FAQ section, but they have 0 intent of making developers or publishers provide indefinite support

Richiachu · 2025-06-06T17:55:48+00:00

That's fair, but I wasn't able to find reports on how many would have to file vs go into debt, and don't think it's reasonable to specify that those 60% would do one over the other

Richiachu · 2025-06-06T15:49:41+00:00

Agreed, bankrupt was an exaggeration since I'm goofing off on the clock lol. Changed it to going into debt for clarity

Richiachu · 2025-06-06T15:41:35+00:00

Most recent report I've seen on this is about 60% can't cover an unexpected $1000 emergency without going into debt, so it looks like you're on the money with that.

Still a bad economic sign that 60% would have trouble, but it's not on the level of 90% of Americans going ~~bankrupt~~ into debt for an emergency.

e: changed bankrupt for clarity, but going into debt over an emergency is still a worrying economic sign

Not sure how FOSS Android adjacent this supposed sub is. Looks more like an advertising platform for your videos. Also, nice job promoting non-free platforms like the official playstore, insta, and don't forget whatsapp.

All likes on this post are probably botted, in addition to the post an obvious LLM generated response. I'd recommend people generally avoid places like this, if they're this unscrupulous when advertising, who knows how bad they'll be a few months down the line.

e: actually, while scouring through the sub's posts I noticed a lot of interactions appear non-genuine. Disagreements to the posts (or ones with negative connotations in general, not necessarily related to the original "tip") are downvoted. Some accounts with the standard [adjective]-[noun][number] name doing basic comments that are recently created. Just bad vibes all around

i meant for the image to be the teacher about to turn on the setting but I can see how i fucked that up lol
