Okay so it's something I can use to automate some sort of data processing and then be compensated for it.

How is it processing the data?

Where am I getting the data?

What is it doing to the data?

Who is paying me for processed data?

Linux everywhere and then Windows VM labeled "Shitty Spyware Do Not Open"

I already get 8-10 hours of active use out of my T14. Who wants to do more stuff for longer without a dedicated space for it?

I get sick of coffee shop stuff after like 3 hours.

That's so much of IT. They're paying for me to get a degree but I already have the job. So it's obvious it's just a status symbol.

I wonder if steam considers this can evasion.

TBH, if it's free I don't care if the reviews are rigged so long as it's not to hide that it's a crypto miner or something. But when money is involved I care a lot.

As an office IT guy, a vast majority of office jobs could be done by nearly anyone. If they just stopped requiring a college degree to do those jobs and trained people, I think the vast majority of office work will be done

That being said, HR would rather import people with H1Bs, drastically under pay them, and create another layer of class division but separating themselves from the brown people offices to work at the new executive offices or do full WFH forever then admit a college degree was always a class tax to move from working to might class.

I could see that as a privacy measure.

Everything on Lemmy is open anyways but maybe the maintainer didn't want to be the guy to make Lemmy data that accessible. So it's a limitation. You can only have Lemmy data if you are hosting the server and the community.

That's not a bad call.

There's fortunately pretty tech literate people at both locations. I can walk them through most of it with very little a long the lines of finger puppets and crayons.

That's me! Gotta love Spectrum baby!

I actually got into this because I used to have sporadic hour+ long Internet outages when I was trying to watch all of Star Trek.

15 minutes drive to my MIL and 4 hours to my own Mom.

My dad used to do tech support and wants to learn some of this stuff while he's recovering from surgery and I'm at my MILs several times a month anyways. So it all works out. Also it's only fair as the FIL has helped me do so much with my car over the years I wanted to pay them back and he likes movies more than me.
