Implying I’m hated in real life? I try my best to be reasonably polite and mind my own business. I guess that is reason enough for some.

Shutdown -P now in the wrong terminal window and a server at the other side of the country went down.

Electrical work and blacked out the entire 500m level in the mine.

No, I’m not.

As for social acceptance I like my personal space. Don’t care what you do as long as I can opt out.

Increased support for Ukraine.

It’s at the moment more important than solving any domestic issues.

(I most likely don’t live in your country, only argue for your favored domestic issues if you really have nothing better to do).

Vim, I’ve not given emacs a fair try yet. At work I’ve got to use what I’ve got to use and neither is an option. At home the last thing I want to do is write more code.

When I do have a choice I’m not doing much more complicated things than editing a config file and anything more advanced than cat would do I guess.

I liked using what was then archaic language back in school 20 years ago. I’ll be one of the last ones to change.

2.5/5.

Average day. But my average is quite good.

Keys on a qwerty keyboard.

That the most important thing is technical know-how.

You’ll have to deal with a lot of difficult people in life. There is a huge difference if you get them to put your task on top of their todo list or on there bottom of the pile on their desk.

Winter (north Scandinavia): 10 minutes by car. Options are walking 1 hour or bus+walking ~40 minutes depending on how close you like to cut it on the bus stop.

Summer: option of bike 15 minutes. Not an option during winter. It’s okay above -15 C, flat ground, low traffic and well plowed streets. None of those are true here.

No. They can be sued for the opposite too. Generally it’s about misleading the shareholders. You can argue that it’s about money in the end because who will buy planes that fall out of the sky?

NEW YORK, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N), has been sued by shareholders who said the company prioritized profit over safety and misled them about its commitment to making safe aircraft, prior to the Jan. 5 mid-air cabin panel blowout on an Alaskan Airlines 737 MAX 9.

What should I have for dinner today? Jokes aside probably something unimportant like: which stock on arbitrary stock market will perform the best from the first to last day of 2024.

I don’t really want to know the answer to the big philosophical questions, because what if the answer is depressing? “The meaning of life is arbitrary and nothing you do matters”

I don’t really care to know the truth about something controversial because I’d be no different from a fanatic arguing blindly for their side. Noone else knows I know.

I don’t want to know the secrets to some revolutionary technology. The explanation would be lost on me anyway and it’s not like I could explain it to someone who can build a fusion reactor or whatever.

I don’t really want to know the truth about why by ex left me or other events in life. If I had infinite questions I’d start here, but there are too many of these and none of them are that uncomfortable to live with.

I want to be secure from bad actors myself. Currently there is no technology that would safely let government break encryption without letting bad actors use the same backdoor to empty your bank account. Sure they would not be given the key but there is a huge incentive for them to try to find it.

Also how would you make sure a bad actor don’t make their own app with unbroken encryption and running a system without client side scanning? Again there is huge incentive to do this and the information how is publicly available.

So in the end bad actors get their private conversation while law abiding citizens don’t.

2015 Toyota RAV4. Reliable and does everything I need a car for. Cheap-ish too.

I live in the very north Scandinavia. I go hunting and need a 4wd for that. 25% of my mileage is long drives in Arctic winter conditions. Electric cars that manage this drive were 2-3 times as expensive and I’d have to drive 2-3 times as far every year even when electricity is free to motivate the expense.

Order online, call to cancel subscriptions.

If the employer foots the bill they will discriminate based on where you live, which as far as I know is legal in the US and Sweden.

Besides, why should they pay one person more because where they live? You’re providing the same value to the company. Would it not be better to pay both workers a bit more rather than only the one living far away?

I don’t think it is. I don’t live in America. Question does not specify where it is. A vast majority of the world is not America.

Check if the password and user name is the default for the model. Google the model or see if there is a sticker on it.

There is usually a factory reset button. Again Google how to do that for your model. Then you can log in with the default password. It will also reset every other setting too so if you lack the knowledge to reconfigure everything else they will notice.

If either of your parents is better than you at IT I advise against trying. They will notice.

This name was made for lemmy. I have different names on different platforms because users from one place should not me able to find me anywhere else.

I have a gaming name I use on multiple places however.

Any compensation for commuting to your regular work place is considered taxable income.

The government allows for a tax deduction if commuting costs exceed a certain amount.

I would not do anything about it as is the custom in Sweden. If they want to change it their union can negotiate it, but they are generally more interested a bigger raise than misc benefits.
