I mean my vote hasn’t mattered in the last 2 elections. My state hasnt flipped blue since Obama. There’s a lot of situations where voting is a waste of time. Making that not be true is what’s going to increase voter turnout, not trying to shame them for something they’re not responsible for
What’s the point of saying that here? If you’re an American who could vote and you’re on Lemmy there’s a 99.9% chance you voted blue. But even if that weren’t the case, all of this transpired while we had a Democrat in office, so it’s just a horrible continuation of an already existing trend
Is this a joke? ICE is never going to target business owners and even if ICE did, they’d face no punishment.
I honestly think college is mostly a cultural staple for middle income families at this point. It’s four years of “discovering yourself” and postponing adulthood.
The benefits of a college education are pretty difficult to quantify, unless your intended career requires undergrad.
However, building a career from 0 is pretty painful, and I don’t think most people would have the stomach for it.
If it makes you feel any better, I intentionally never use products that have intentionally repetitive messaging or earworm tendencies out of spite. Though I know I’m probably in the minority
It’s hard to accept someone disagrees with you when you have main character syndrome. I looked at both of y’all’s accounts, he’s mostly involved in technical questions and having discussions, your comment history is all politically charged topics where you are presenting your opinions as fact. Seems like you’re a combative person.
Well I only work on new stuff/deployments for data centers. Once it’s deployed it goes to ops for support. I don’t know if you have a lot of experience in large networks but there is a lot of break/fix work with failing hardware components and physical issues …but that’s not the side of the house you want to be in because operational stuff like NOCs are always high turnover fast-paced jobs where everything is your fault. If you’re going to work networking you gotta transition to the “money-making” side of the house for better quality of life. Right now the “sexy” stuff is devops/automation and that’s where a lot of gripe comes from with the old school CLI guys because they don’t want to learn anything new.
Job before this was at a university with a small team of infrastructure engineers and you would think their job was to stifle progress. Their whole team and millions of dollars in expensive networking equipment could get replaced by a private cell tower.
Cyber security field is a bit different, companies know now they have to spend money on it now so the faucet is open. Most of the real preventative methods for security happen at the network. Security guys that are paid deep into six figures know networking, Linux, programming and other things.
Being an SME and earning the big bucks, in my opinion, is about knowing quite a bit about many things
High paying tech jobs are out there yeah but you gotta be an SME and own a solution which really involves in my POV knowing programming, some backend, networking and infrastructure. Tech work is so vast people only really master one thing. Tech workers are notoriously lazy as well, soon as people get a “cushy” job it’s like pulling teeth trying to get them to learn a new skill. Can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve tried to teach old school network guys some devops stuff and they say something like “I don’t want to have to learn programming” and when I tell them it’s really not as complicated as they think they have some other excuse locked and loaded
Not sure why that is but energy jobs pay a lot. Had a friend who worked on an oil rig and made about 400k
I don’t think zoom has ever pretended to be a proponent of remote work, they just cashed in on the opportunity. I might be wrong though. But this is definitely just to reduce headcount.
Yup, RTO policies are basically just to reduce headcount without the headlines being “zoom lays off 30% of it’s workforce”
I remember thinking… The average mp3 is like 3-5 MB… thats damn near 200 songs. I miss burning CDs. Coming up with a hot mix made you feel like a fly ass DJ. now there’s like 6000 songs in my library and some days I don’t seem to like any of lol
