my employer gave us macbook pros’ to work on and it so much spyware/malware that it made my router go off like xmas lights; so i setup a linux vm using kvm/qemu on my own hardware and retired the macbook.
i now fully expect my employer to somehow force a return to the macbook; but i’ve already returned it to the company so they’re going to have to buy me a new one when they do so.
i doubt it matters since huffman already got his money.
i wonder if any moderators regret making him rich at the expense of their own time and effort; with nothing to show for it
plus, potential employers have to find a reason to either hire or not hire you; not having a degree is a reason and it means that you have to impress them so much that, that fact doesn’t even occur to them if that’s your situation.
found myself laughing at this reply in the comments:
this sounds like a nightmare to me, so i wonder what i’m missing?
i also didn’t find the article painful; it was refreshing to learn that someone else is walking in these shoes when it feels like so many aren’t.
I call myself a programmer because I’ve been been doing IT for so long that it’s impossible not to pick it up to get my job done.
They agreed to being bussed (but they didn’t know exactly where) and Texas officials made sure to get that on paper to cya themselves against lawsuits and criminal charges

I feel like the most galling thing about xtianity is that you can be the most violent, murderous, racist, homophobic pos forever and, per doctrine, you’ll still be welcomed into heaven no matter what so long as you believe that the invisible sky friend exists.
Tesla is a driving force for both the automotive industry electrifying and worsening worker rights, safety, pay, and labor practices.
Only the bougie and the rich focus on the first part even though the second part has much bigger consequences for humanity.
I always thought that arch was more difficult to get started w due to my experience with it from 2003/2004; it was MUCH more difficult to install and use than red hat or Debian at the time because both only required an installation cd and the ability to click on “ok”
It’s nice to know it’s gotten better, but I’m an old fart now and you’ll have to pry Debian out of my cold dead hands before I’ll consider anything else. Lol

In the 60s and 70s, some 4,500 young Inuit had IUDs inserted without their consent or that of their families
Ah. Well if I’m not mistaken Lemmy is mostly Android / FOSS biased so I’m not surprised some people might have the “Apple bad” mindset. Honestly why do people care what products other people use? I read a comment the other day about an Android user despairing that some feature Google is implementing (don’t remember which) might make some Android users jump ship to Apple… Ok who cares? Why so much emotional investment in something so trivial? It sounds just as crazy when you flip it, “Oh no some of my Apple friends are switching to Android or PC” ….
