why not matrix?
way too specific… is this the plot to a book? if so what’s it called?
Those tests are worth more than four years of college?
Yes a test to figure out if you can perform your job is significantly more valuable than a collage degree, this doesn’t mean that college has no value, mind you, it just means that knowing how to do the job and knowing that you fit in with the company culture is vastly more important.
Go get a bunch of I.T. certifications. Get your CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+ Get a Microsoft MCP or MCSA
Those certifications are useless, they look good on your resume because managers love showcasing their staff’s “certifications”, as many companies that don’t understand IT put value on the certifications more than anything else, but they don’t actually provide you any value in of themselves. Sure it might be interesting how many network switches you can daisy chain according to the standards, but it has no real value most of the time, if that’s information you need in your job it’s something you can just look up, HOWEVER, asking you random questions that pertain to the job during the interview IS a good way to understand if you’re a good candidate, and, often, the actual response doesn’t matter as much as your reasoning for getting to that response.
When an interviewer at google asks you how many pennys it would take to make a structure as tall as the empire state building, it doesn’t matter what the answer is, truly, even if you got the exact number of pennys, just saying the number would mean you don’t pass the interview, your answer would be worth less than an answer that gets it wrong by 75% but is well reasoned, what they care about is how you come up to the conclusion that you come up with, the solution is useless.
Someone really should maintain a list like that, hosted on multiple non big tech git hosts.
This recent Anti-FOSS propaganda needs to stop
Seconded, and added Haier to my mental list of companies to never buy from.
I believe that the following IP ranges
are engaged in highly suspicious activities
furthermore I can definitely say that I found some dirty pirates hiding at the following ip ranges:
my research clearly shows proof that those people are not just pirates but also engaged in highly illegal activities such as stealing BILLIONS of dollars and hacking who knows how many servers, and that’s only the crimes one can talk about online.
no, I didn’t share IPs that anyone here would ever have, I guarantee it, if you don’t get the joke look up “bogon routes” and then look up which ASN owns the other set.
It looks more legit than people who use 192.168.0.0/16, 8.8.8.8, 127.0.0.1, or any other things like that because most people don’t know about those.
Also bonus info:
here’s a tip for you, if you’re a sysadmin just go ahead and ban those IP ranges on your machines, if you ever get packets from them it’s an attack 99.999999% of the time (I guess unless you have customers in north korea? in which case only block the first ones and all other bogon routes)
then just use fedora asahi remix because the asahi linux team did the work for you, also they would really appreciate some donations
Their search results constantly impress me and honestly it’s 10 bucks for unlimited searches, it’s worth it even if it’s not a business expense, plus since you’re paying for the service they’re less likely to track you. I wish their code was FOSS, but I’ll take it, still better than google, bing, and all the others I’ve tried.
Also they actively promote the small web and you can even personalize your search results by removing websites you don’t like from the searches (for example I have a lot of big tech websites blocked)
Actually other search engines do much better with Lemmy. Kagi’s search works wonders if you select the filter for Fediverse Forums. And you can assign that filter to a bang, such as !lemmy, so that when you search “!lemmy query here” it’ll search only on the fediverse A few examples:
And this ladies and gentlemen is another reason why we should try to escape big tech’s grasp.
I have not made any assumptions, this has been shared multiple times in different articles which I did not write. As for the Chromecast, I misremembered, it was an Amazon Firestick.
I’ll use that in the future haha
As the person being accused of this, I’d like to know, too.
Didn’t know about mitra, thanks for sharing!
Regarding Linus’s quote, I completely agree with him and that’s mostly why I asked for feedback; I don’t have the time to work on this myself at the moment, and even if I did I want to hear conflicting opinions on the implementation before I did anything
That’s fair, I mostly came up with the idea because I saw a comment mentioning awards like in Reddit and I’m a huge proponent of paying for FOSS applications and for content online, so that’s why I opened this up for discussion
I really don’t want to turn this into a crypto discussion, if you think there are better alternatives I’m open to hearing about them; I’m mostly interested in rewarding people for their content and paying for instance admins and lemmy developers. You’d be surprised how much you and I probably agree on regarding crypto
I can see your point but don’t you think that monero adds friction? you want something quick and easy that users don’t have to think about

Matrix VoIP is a thing, and it’s usable for audio & video on many clients, element and fluffychat come to mind, but probably more.
element call is also coming into element (and possibly other clients) for video calls and screensharing
why does that matter?
