- Comment on How am I supposed to obtain income? 3 weeks ago:
Wife and I have been unemployed for nearly a year. We’re in a white collar recession so it’s gonna be brutal for a little while. Not much you can do really, it’s really hard right now.
Labouring / trades seem like the ticket tbh.
- Comment on the lifestyle 5 weeks ago:
It’s a lot more like Seaborn. It produces gorgeous plots with a lovely syntax that is quick and easy to use, but it’s not a full drawing toolkit like matplotlib.
If I need the plot to have a very precise aesthetic, mpl is great. But if I want a high quality statistical plot that looks great. ggplot2 will do it in about 2 seconds.
I have no idea how op thinks they could make a decent histogram any quicker than
ggplot(data) + geom_histogram(x= x)
. I mean you don’t even have to leave your shell/editor or extract the SQL into CSV. - Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 2 months ago:
This. Alternatively, 401K depending on a variety of factors.
- Comment on How do I Graphene OS? 3 months ago:
To elaborate on this answer, I found the performance with graphene to be really subpar.
I know it’s supposed to be exactly the same in terms of speed, but that was not my experience.
If You find the performance of your device to be inadequate now you may wish to upgrade first.
- Comment on Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference? 3 months ago:
I would like to think that these hotlines are helpful.
I have experience with somebody calling a sexual abuse hotline and being told to " Work less and go outside tomorrow".
This was a crisis situation and the advice was woefully inadequate and unhelpful.
Overall, I’m sure access to a hotline that is monitored with people who are experts at dealing with these situations is a good thing. I doubt they’re funded very well though.
- Comment on Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me? 3 months ago:
If a game doesn’t run on Linux, I just don’t play it.
Life is too short, I don’t care anymore.
I need Linux for work and I have no interest in paying for an OS that doesn’t let me have privacy.
So fuck it, if companies don’t write there software well enough… I’ll live.
I’d rather spend time in a bar anyway.
- Comment on i will never understand scientific fraud 3 months ago:
Yeah, if you’re foolish enough to go into research, you still have to pay rent.
- Comment on Tensors 3 months ago:
Well, it would still be a vector. So some standardisation.
- Comment on Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)? 3 months ago:
I point your attention wolfballs.
I may not agree with most of the perspective, but the author’s opposition to censorship is admirable.
Yeah free speech isn’t always free, but I’d rather the freedom to read things I disagree with. Others may disagree though.

I really enjoyed bad batch, clone wars, rogue one and Andor
- Comment on What is the actual point of a bra? 5 months ago:
My favourite part of threaded platforms is the arbitrary and tangential discourse
- Comment on How does the xz incident impacts the average user ? #xz 8 months ago:
What about vpn behind WireGuard/OpenVPV?
I would presume no?
- Comment on Expertise 9 months ago:
Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia.
I’ve never heard of Masters for PhD? Coursework is opposite direction?
- Comment on Please Stop 9 months ago:
Or maybe I need product X to get by day to day but I can’t afford a health insurance plan.
It’s really not as simple as most people make it out to be.
- Comment on Please Stop 9 months ago:
Well I use Bitcoin everyday and I’m grateful for it.
Banks don’t support the transactions I need to make.
- Comment on Chad scraper 1 year ago:
Imagine an investment firm looking at a property market. They need data like price trends in the surrounding area.
Real estate API is expensive, scraping is free. By hiring an employee the can save money.
