Testosterone supplements and baby wipes for men.

I’m running Shareaza in Crossover Linux on Mint. It actually runs pretty well.

If I had a dollar for the number of times I’ve heard some CEO proudly declare in an all hands meeting that all his CEO buddies just LOVED the latest gleaming turd that we’re trying to speed run towards a failed MVP, I could buy myself a nice dinner. Tip included.

But those people are virtually never the target user. And they don’t really care what the target user thinks. They just think anything that has the remote whiff of dollar signs is a good idea.

As my state declares Traditional Values Month

The best way to keep the peasants in line is by giving them other peasants to look down on. Makes them feel like they’re in charge of something.

Some of the users definitely like to pontificate a bit much and there’s still gaps in reliable clients for some platforms (e.g. Apple TV). That said, Jellyfin, as a service, is solid.

Past me was a moron sometimes.

If the characters hadn’t spent practically every night drinking until 2AM, HIMYM could have been compressed into a movie with a shitty ending instead of 9 seasons with a shitty ending.

I already switched months ago.

She is my adopted daughter.

Ah man. That sucks. Your daughter, like most teenagers, doesn’t have a fucking clue what she’s signed up for or that she is placing a major burden on her parents. Unfortunately for her, she’s about to enter the “find out” stage.

It’s bad. But it doesn’t have to stay bad. My wife comes from a generational line of teenage pregnances. Hell, she was your daughters age when she got pregnant. She told the sperm donor to fuck off when it was clear that he was more interested in drugs and petty crime than being a parent.

If you ask my wife today if she regrets becoming a teen mom, she will say, “No. Because it forced me to take responsibility for my kids life, and by extension my life. Something I wasn’t willing to do when it was just me.”

She got her shit together. I hope the same for your daughter. The current situation sucks ass. But there’s still a lot of potential for a good outcome. Your kid is lucky to have a family that cares about her enough to support her and hold her accountable.

Or, you can just setup a forgejo instance and migrate all your repos to it.

“I typically don’t give 10/10 scores because I feel like it doesn’t leave anything to work towards.”

Why would you hire humans when you can spend a lot of money on a totally incompetent, yet incredibly arrogant chatbot instead?

The naivete of youth.

As others have said, relationships are the key. The current state of the tech job market is bad. Probably the worst I’ve ever seen and it is still getting steadily worse.

I spent almost a year applying before getting my latest job. I was even getting interviews until the beginning of this year. Then they very abruptly stopped for some reason. Only reason I got the job I have now is because an old business associate happened to think of me and reached out to see if I was looking. I’ve been doing this for years and I’ve got a solid resume but it is tough out there.

That said, I’m not trying to discourage you. Keep at it and you’ll find something. Working on side projects or contributing to open source projects can help give you accomplishments to put on your resume.

Create custom functions. Excel has lots of built in functions. “SUM()”, “CONCAT()”, etc. You can use VBA to create your own functions that manipulate data within cells.

Everything has to be a web app nowadays.

I rarely use LLM’s for generating code. Usually, by the time I’ve provided all the necessary context, I might as well have just written the code myself. I do use LLM’s for doing research. As long as it’s understood that the response is only as accurate as the source material, they often do a decent job of distilling down to what I’m actually looking for.
