Do you know what NSFW means?

That is a sketchy link…

Take a garden chair to your local water hole and go live your dream

That sounds like a far better system then, so definitely explains the difference in quality.
- Comment on Anon is 23 2 days ago:
You are assuming that the company cares about training, and not just a source of cheap labour. Apprentices are paid barely above minimum wage in Aus, and there are kickbacks to the companies to encourage employing them.
If it worked as you described (which is how it should work), I would absolutely agree with you, but the system in Aus happily churns out some absolute duds. Just like the uni system.
Also, for what its worth, many uni degrees include a year of paid internship, but there are similar issues that allow duds to sail through there as well.

My point is that by the time you have the paper, in either case, there is zero reliable proof that you can do either job. Real world work experience (successfully ran a sparky business, or successfully held a job for a few years) counts far more than the paper does.
- Comment on Anon is 23 2 days ago:
Australia. And yes, you have to do on the job training, but that doesn’t mean anything. The quality of the work experience is highly variable, so you could spend all of it learning, or all of it buying coffee and sweeping floors.
- Comment on Anon is 23 2 days ago:
An electrician certification doesn’t mean a whole lot either. Both are just paper. Degrees with work experience and trades with apprentership time hold a little more value, but its still hit and miss.

Would likely end up with broken safetynet then, so not really worth the hassle. Ironically, staying on an out of date stock ROM is more preferable for my bank than staying up to date and safe…
(Its been a while since I did the 3rd party ROM thing, so I might be making some wrong assumptions. If its gotten better maybe I’ll consider it)

Samsung s10+. Very out of date, but 100% functional, so I am very hesitant to just create ewaste for the sake of it.

Entirely dependant on the company culture. It isnt that simple.
- Comment on Why did/does Oman not raise a stink about Iran also closing their half of the strait? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, its definitely an interesting area. Seems to be mostly unused as well, apart from a tiny airport town. The runway is almost as long as the town itself.
There is also another oddity a bit further south:
UAE, wrapped in Oman, wrapped in UAE.
- Comment on Why did/does Oman not raise a stink about Iran also closing their half of the strait? 2 weeks ago:
They are next to the straight. Red is Iran, Blue is Oman, Green is UAE.
Zooming out further the straight opens up into the “Gulf of Oman”.

Maybe window RG.

None of the agentic AIs are free to use, so you’d have to pay for a subscription. You can run a self-hosted model, but they arent free either, and are a lot more limited.
Small and basic apps, you can easily replace. More complex ones, not yet.

The target of this comic is the trump administration. From their point of view, it hasn’t been yet desecrated, and its something they are proud of, so this Belgium lad is actively disrespecting them.
- Comment on Why are some Linux community so toxic? 4 weeks ago:
Whether you engage or not, its a constant noise that has to be dealt with.
- Comment on Why are some Linux community so toxic? 4 weeks ago:
If the newbies don’t stick around to contribute back, then that doesn’t work well. The trans community (at least from an outsiders perspective) seem a lot more close-knit, so it probably works better?
For technical communities, it doesn’t seem like the communal support exists to the same degree. Newbies come in, get their answer and leave. :(
- Comment on Why are some Linux community so toxic? 4 weeks ago:
Imagine every day I ask you what the color of the sky is. There are a bunch of forum threads that tell you the sky color, there is a wiki with sky color information, and the search can give you the sky colour.
That is what these communities often deal with, it grinds you down and makes you have a short fuse.

Of course, they could just choose to be in violation of the license if nobody sues them.
One has to wonder if that is exactly what has happened previously to cause the 2 name changes.
- Comment on A proprietary Linux distro 5 weeks ago:
Only for the components that are GPL. If its based on Ubuntu, then all the Ubuntu packages are compliant.
Their desktop UI may not be GPL though, so they wouldn’t be obligated to share the code. As long as they were disciplined and didn’t statically link a GPL lib, they are in the clear.
- Comment on Google reCaptcha intentionally failed without telling me, how is this allowed?? 5 weeks ago:
They are measuring a lot more than just your pattern recognition. Things like timing of clicks, mouse movements and a lot more.
I have gotten stuck on them a few times, but a refresh usually fixes it, it seems like a bug more than anything.

- Comment on Can you hide wired conversations behind a language barrier? 5 weeks ago:
Any org with wiretap capabilities can affort translators. If you used an esoteric language, it might take longer, but likely won’t change the outcome.
Also, if no one knows what you said, you can’t prove what you didn’t say either. So a less ethical organisation could simply claim that you gave a kill order, when it was actually a takeout order. You cant defend against it without also breaking the code.

- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 5 weeks ago:
I can get behind that. Even more frequently perhaps. Its insane that for a task as dangerous as driving, once you pass at 18, you don’t get re-tested until you kill someone…
I have to do anti-sexual harassment training every year for work, communication/math/logic refreshers once a year would actually be a lot more beneficial.
