Some good stuff there. Not ominous at all.

Yep from what I understand.

Dunno. But I’ve had no issues so far with gts.

You are not wrong.

We do have automated AI that applies for jobs for you now. Its kinda hilarious in a dystopian way. https://github.com/AIHawk-co/Auto_Jobs_Applier_AI_Agent

EDI as well

Such a strange world. These kind of stories makes it funny to read the headlines from time to time.

Pico can do some amazing things for sure.

I have a system76 machine. It’s been really good with steam. Or a steam deck, it’s just a PC.

Their laptops are not worth it if I’m honest. They have issues with the hinges. I had two of them give out. They use a very cheap plastic. But you are guaranteed no driver issues if you use PoPOS on their own machines.

Local bands are fun. That’s about all I can afford.

Flash drives and periodic transfers.

Theres a ton of lemmy servers in Cali, but just no official one. Its all just one offs (I support one).

Pokemon Unbound is a fun one.

Theres one that saves the original Tetris high scores that we use in an arcade cabinet.

10 yesterday. We are too small for temp rules.

We get 10ish posts here a day… I guess if you want less activity here good job you win. I hate these temp rules in communities.

Ember seems like it’s getting support. Rust has native hooks. C++ is still being supported. It’s in a good place.

Unfortunately most front ends don’t use wasm.

0. Mail in ballot for every single election.

Ive heard some people locally take at most 30 mins.

I literally got my current job by meeting an old co-worker at a book store and letting him know I was looking after our previous company got shut down. I did happen to have the right skills, but my local area was flooded with software developers in an area that really didnt need that many. But I got the job.

Networking (AKA meeting people) is a good way to get jobs.

While skill and experience matter, networking is often the catalyst that connects you with the right opportunities. In a way, it’s like investing in your social capital—often as valuable as any degree or certification.

College actually helps with both skill and networking at the same time.

Housing Taxes also increase.

If it’s on Zillow then yes. The trick is to find houses that are not on MLS/Zillow…but realistically there are none. GL! We got ours wnd in one year it went up 40%in a year.

Also in my area that house is a steal and would have offers before it hit Zillow.
