I don't think titles directly transfer between companies, and yet the industry allows it. It's a very useful tool for advancement.

Time on the job does not equate to skill. Some jobs force you to figure shit out that other jobs simply never expose you to. Other jobs expose you to lots of busywork and that isn't going to make you a better engineer either.

I've met senior engineers with 3 years that are significantly more useful than senior engineers with 10 years. Individual motivation and willingness to learn matter the most to me.

I have used the ladder to my advantage and advise others to do the same. It's a game, you don't win by not playing.

What a sad state this country is coming to. We deserve affordable access to safe healthcare. Abortion is healthcare!

This update causes my Jetbrains IDE to randomly crash several times a day, it's great. Also my USB hubs wouldn't work this morning until I power cycled everything a few times. What fun!

Un fucking believable.

Back when they introduced their marketplace, I found an extremely good deal. Thinking it was too good to be true, but cheap enough to say "what the heck," I bought it anyway. Fast forward a week and I received a completely different item than what was described (no surprise, to be honest) in the listing. Naturally, I reached out to customer service for a refund because the item I received was not as advertised. To my surprise, Newegg refused to refund me the whole amount even though they acknowledged the listing was essentially a scam, so I back charged through my credit card. Then, they banned my account. I had been an avid supporter of the company and built many computers from things purchased there, up until that complete joke of a refund process.

Newegg died the day they sold out way back in the 2010s, screw that horrible customer service.

This makes it feel even more bleak. Where is all this money coming from?! Who is funding this and how?

Fold 4 daily driver. It's easily my favorite phone since my motoX many years ago. I can't imagine going back to a non-foldable. Looking at floorplans, videos, documents, photos, you name it is so much nicer on a small tablet vs a phone screen. I'll absolutely be getting another foldable when I'm done with this one.

Glad I can shove more things into the same physical space. I can't wait until HAMR is ready next!

Ruby! It's a wonderful language with a fantastic community, mature frameworks, and active development on performance and core features.

Yep, same here. Premium is worth it for me too. I don't understand the entitlement on lemmy with YouTube, it's worse than reddit.

Epic game with epic developers. 10/10

I can't say I'm a huge fan of btrfs, in my limited sample size of one I had several episodes of esoteric errors and data loss. It's anecdotal but filesystems have never been something to give me trouble in any other scenario to date. They just exist and do their job silently in my experience, except for btrfs.

I can't speak for the flip, but the fold 4 is fantastic. I can't imagine going back to a slab

Yeah, so I guess we should just change nothing, right?

/s in case it wasn't blatantly obvious we are in desperate need of changing gun laws.

Howdy! There's some engagement for yah

Hard disagree, fold 4 gang.

I love the tone and excitement in this update, what a gem of a development team!

Yes, I have to agree the problem is not just gun laws, and, in isolation, changes to gun laws would not fix the root of the problem.

Microcenter doesn't sell fridges, unfortunately. However, I have been pretty pleased with them since Fry's is out of then picture. That was a rough couple of years.

Still fun to play!

$80/mo symmetrical gig, no cap, fiber. ATT is shit but they've been very reliable with this service, first time I've been a happy customer of theirs.

Flipping is an extremely powerful feature, I'm excited!

What a fantastic game, it's so cool to see it get love

m the same IP address? Cause some places check for that kind of thing.

Yep, didn't bother playing any games, same IP.

Neat! Thanks for sharing

11 or 12 years here

Why should I have to do everything myself when I'm at a commercial establishment? Why is interaction with a human a bad thing? I absolutely hate self checkout for the same reasons. Quality of service is valuable and humans benefit from interaction.

Agreed, I'm more active here but the depth of content is something I miss. I'm optimistic things will improve over time as we attract more and more users.

Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn't support wide screens very well.

Oh for sure, they really went to crap the last few years.

Yep, same for me

Aww I didn't even know there was a Rock Band 4, I would love to play that series again but I can't find the band in a box anywhere, and based on the news, they're sunsetting the game too. How lame.

I'm 100% with you on that. I have filtered out so many communities because I get frustrated seeing the same shit posted to every iteration of a stupid news community. It's exhausting to try and see things once.

Some less tired viewers have correctly pointed out that the "warranty" was added for a price and discounted in the cart, as well as free delivery. Perhaps, if you don't find the UI misleading like I did, this isn't a bad thing.
