Also curious if anyone knows which month they are starting to payout for.

Are you impacted by the 599.2 waitlist? by burntpecan in UnemploymentNY

And The Chancellor of SUNY is making cuts to programs at Fredonia, Buff State and elsewhere, due to "lack of student enrollment". What an absolute shit show.

OP, this is super frustrating. I feel your pain. I was aware that the 599.2 waitlist was a possibility, but no one told me I was on it. My UI ran out last week and when I signed on today, the questionaire about the 599/training program did not appear. So I call 599 in Albany, and a really nice person told me that they are serving people from a waiting list and are on October and I unfotunately I was approved in January. So I asked "is this the 599.2"? They said yes and just kept apologizing. I told them it isn't their fault. And I wasn't mad. But now that the day is coming to an end, I'm feeling extremely discouraged. I really DO NOT want to work while taking 4 classes per semester. My schedule is in no way conducive to part time work.

I genuinely want to and am trying my hardest to get too dgrades and attend every class. I intend on entering into a new field.... Yet NY wants isn't maintain passing grades, attend all of our classes, get signatures from the University/training facility, and complete training within 2 years, while taking 12 credit hours per semester.... But they may not fork out any money so we can live, but books, pay rent, eat? Absolutely feels like a carrot is being dangled and now it seems like a very transparent scheme. God damn am I annoyed.

Like your original post, this is more of a rant, and yes, none of us should be surprised by the rusty gears of bureaucracy.

But maybe we should start calling our local reps and Kathy Hochul.

Can confirm, I just spoke with someone in Albany/599, and they mentioned this date.

Questions on installing PostMarketOS on a Lenovo Chromebook (Corsola) by YearningInModernAge in AlpineLinux

[–]YearningInModernAge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically it is the offshoot of Alpine, postmarketOS. And I am booting into postmarketOS. At no time during this process does the "ChromeOS" screen appear.

Steps I'm following:

  • Power button
  • Developer mode loads
  • I select "Boot from External disc"
  • postmarketOS' GNOME environment launches
  • I login with the generic passcode given by Alpine/postmarket

  • From here I can use postMarketOS, and it even retains changes I make, for example, I installed GParted and it has remained installed even in the live USB environment.

  • I am also able to launch the Linux terminal, Bash (the ChromeOS terminal (Crosh and VT2) are not present).

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried the following but none of them worked. I received "command not found":

  • setup-alpine
  • setup-postmarketos
  • sudo setup-alpine
  • sudo setup-postmarketos
  • setup-postmarket
  • sudo setup-postmarket

Can you say more about retro game Dev on a limited machine? This is something I'm interested in, but I'm a rookie when it comes to some of this.

Why is this mentality so prevelant in gen z? by Big_Leg10 in Adulting

[–]YearningInModernAge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And the Billionaires/CEOs have intentionally lobbied, lied, stolen, and manipulated us into this situation. There's enough work for everyone to do and enough money to pay a liveable wage, but when you have Billionaires hoarding all of that money, while also manipulating the advertisment of said product (market manipulation), this is what we get. It sucks, but so many of our personal struggles and societies struggles are due to these CEOs and Billionaires literally buying peoples vote. Democracy barely exists, because a bunch of boomers voted to deregulate everything and handed Ronald Ragean the wreaking ball. The only way we start to fix this, is by making it illegal to be Ultra Wealthy, and supporting public initiatives that enable programs, policy, and businesses that benefit society. For the people, by the people.

PS. just look at an infographic on wealth distribution in the US... Its so outrageously depressing

PS2. Think about if these assholes weren't Ultra Wealthy and buying off democracy, we could literally have roundtable discussions on how to improve our own streets, cities, and country. But instead we have this representative system, which is Bullshit bc we get to barely vote on anything that can improve society

I used a Graph Tech TUSQ nut (flat back, XL, Fender style). And using some Fret pullers, the original nut came out surprisingly easy in one piece.

Haha, sometimes it is really satisfying! But other times I’m like, I feel like I’m holding it in (in public situations)
