Yeah, some places are super petty. Hell, the last CEO I had bitched at my manager because I was stoked he offered to get me some equipment that my last previous gig strung me along on.

Man, I’m so glad to be away from that narcissistic asshole

Lol, they asked for the bag back the last handful of places I left.

Didn’t care though, cuz they were falling apart (the bags too).

Maybe before the Incel in Cheif took over, now that just sounds like a Tuesday

Goddamn you guys are the most paranoid people I’ve ever witnessed. What in the world do you think mega corps are going to do to me for sharing incoherent nonsense to Facebook?

You, 10-20 years ago. I heard these arguments from people in the early days, well before Facebook blew up or Cambridge Analytica was a name any normies knew.

This isn’t the early 00s anymore where we can pretend that every big corp isn’t vacuuming up every shred of data they can. Add on the fascistic government taking shape in the US and the general trend towards right leaning parties gaining power in governments across the world, and you’d have to be completely naive to not see the issues with using a ‘therapist’ that will save every datapoint to its training and could be mined to use against you or willingly handed over to an oppressive government to use however they so choose.

Fondant can be good, but it takes a hell of a baker to do so. A friend of mine’s mom made my wedding cake and the fondant she made was fucking bomb as hell. I was really skeptical of the fondant until she made the test cake, and I’m disappointed every time I have anything with fondant because I know it will never live up.

When are they going to start the peace negotiation efforts before they stop them? Cuz all they’re doing is trying to conquer them and steal their resources currently.

Yeah, if Kamala was deporting citizens to an El Salvador death camp we’d be at brunch letting it happen 🙄

It’s even better when tied to an automation app. I’ve got FileFlows sitting in my media library, so any time I drop new stuff in, it automatically gets converted to my preferred on disk format.

I still get some ones I have to touch manually, but most of it gets taken care of without even thinking about it.

This is where I’m at. I may use a second note taking app, but I’ve always got vscodium up anyway, so may as well just make 1 more tab (probably in the 2nd window tho)

No it’s not, “” (a null/empty string) is the parameter. Not every function needs a parameter to be valid, and negation is one of them. Negating nothing is something, so “not()” = “not(null)” = “not(false)” = “true”

Was he one of those Brooks brothers from the riot?

The truck shorts out in the rain and catches fire instead of leaving the flaming tracks

I’ll one up them, make it one of those shitty NFT monkey cartoons

Because nothing isn’t something, and something is true. It’s base Boolean logic where everything is either true or false. Null/nothing is false.

It’s a weird way to think about conditionals, but it makes sense when you use them in real examples. In my case, I use them like this when I need to make sure that a variable has a value. So I can do something like

If(variable){do things with the variable}else{do stuff when the variable doesn’t exist}

They’ll find out that it’s now a capital offense to sue Elmo.

So no, you don’t have any evidence other than your own conjecture.

Your POV is laughable. 😄

Right back at ya champ 😎

Don’t you know that everybody has that one friend, nephew, neighbor, colleague etc. that they ask for advice when buying a new laptop?

I was that guy and did front line tech support for a few years, and still do when I have to.

Plenty don’t, or can only rely on their work IT guy who may or may not be able to help them. Assuming they have an IT guy and haven’t farmed the work out to an MSP who doesn’t always have the time to help.

Just because your limited life experience says it doesn’t happen, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Do you have any evidence that they went back to reddit and didn’t just account/instance hop? I’m in that thread under a previous account, but this is like my 4th or 5th account. I go back to some of them, but I like scoping out different sections of Lemmy/mbin to get a feel for where has the best vibe.

You’re really saying that they’d buy a laptop for cheap and install a new OS and aquire a key and all that? While I have your attention, are you interested in this bridge I have to sell you?

Suggesting that the average end user is more likely to reinstall an OS and aquire a key than to just learn how to use the new OS is fucking laughable.
