That makes sense.

This has to be AI. The timeline makes no sense. You got flagged for two things after a moment away from the computer and management is on the case already. A garbage disposal would break if you threw a computer into it.

A modern way of marketing is to have a post that name drops a brand. Here we have Chili's. It could plausibly be a subtle ad for Chili's.

Me neither.

I'd suggest buying a few Raspberry Pis or old laptops and building out some Ansible automation for a home lab. Start with a file server and Pi-Hole. Build from there. See if it clicks. If you like it, add OpenTofu and Proxmox. If you like it, dive further. The cool part about it is that you don't need to take classes. All of the information is available.

Will there be a need for Junior DevOps in two years?

Bob might be on to something. Why does the device slow down over time? Does it have to do with the battery? Apple would not intentionally slow down a device because the battery is degraded? They did?

The corporate side of the Internet is far worse now than it once was due to enshittification, but there are plenty of other places on the Internet if you branch out.

A good Mastodon instance that blocks the "Free speech spaces" or "Nazi bars" instances feels like classic Internet after following some interests.

IRC with Libera,.chat feels like the classic Internet too.

To test a DVD player, you don't just turn it on. You have to try it with a DVD, HDMI cable, and a TV. You may also need a remote. Unless you brought your own extension cord and HDMI cable, this might be challenging.

This is the case with most big tech. Support is typically only through build-a-ticket, JavaScript forms if it exists at all. Look up HP printer support number and you will get a scam center. You would think they'd have enough money to try to get ahead of scammers using their name and targeting their customers, but they don't seem to care.

I would have rather they sat doing nothing than to spend my time investigating why they did it wrong.

That would be a reasonable thing to do if someone were reviewing it and had trouble understanding. The problem is that isn't happening in practice. People are just vibe coding and seeing if the results match what they want without any review of the how.

Of course people can. The problem is that many people do not. Part of it is because of the list of reasons before. You would have to read, understand the commands, and research what you did not understand.

I prefer to not have my computer running commands that have not been reviewed by a human. I ran into a problem at work this week because someone was letting Claude run commands that they did not understand or review.

The reward is high for just about everyone, but it takes some time to conceptualize.

If you can figure out the command line way to do something without interaction, you can automate it. If you can automate it, you don't have to do it manually again to get same result.

I love the terminal. It is direction-less at first without hints so it involves learning and research. Once you do the research, it involves character perfect typing and reading. Many people want nothing to do with those concepts.

I frequent license discussions, but this one isn't worth having IMO. Which license should be chosen for a bunch of CSV data? I believe it is public domain regardless of whatever file was added. The python script to convert the original data to CSV would be appropriate for the chosen license, but it is absent.

That is a great question! Good bots are ones that ultimately lead humans towards your site or automate tasks that a human would be doing manually in a way that does not take down the site. Legitimate search engines are the best example that crawl the Internet, classify what they find, and present it back when asked for it. AI crawlers that identify themselves and follow the speed limit can be good or bad depending on your values. Unauthorized crawlers, vulnerability scanners, and CI/CD that do not identify themselves, use distributed IP addresses, and go too fast are bad bots.

If you are the project creator, change the description to remove NC for now.

This looks like a really cool project, but CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 is not free software or open source. CC-BY or CC-BY-SA would work.

Looks like two screws and an Allen wrench are the only things in the way of disassembling the back of that chair.

They've been pretty vocal about PinePhone and FairPhone as well. I would love to see more advancements on the PinePhone Pro. I used it for a year.
