I was expecting a mention of all the repositories that are popping up primarily developed by AI prompts. The UI and the READMEs are full of the typical patterns (emojis, gradient/glow CSS effects, em-dashes, etc) and seem just-put-together-enough to slap up an r/selfhosted post and gain a few dozen stars on GitHub.
In short: land covenants. In HOAs you will see titles containing terms about the property being subject to restrictions voted for/applied by the association. If you continually decline to adhere to the restrictions, you can be legally compelled to sell and move on.
Note: I'm using phrasing local to me, I expect there may be minor differences but the same gist.
As an enterprise Microsoft customer, you are treated to the same group policies as everyone else, with one difference that you can reduce OS telemetry collection to “Basic”.
There is no way to go radio silent without ring-fencing the OS within the network.
in an all out war, it certainly is a numbers game. There just hasn't been all out war in decades, but that doesn't mean one isn't around the corner. Being prepared is better than not.
What constitutes an all-out war in the modern era? If it includes nukes, numbers have little value. Even pulling nukes out of the equation, modern armaments make the idea of overwhelming the US with bodies storming the shores/borders an almost certainly futile strategy.
Both/neither, I would suggest. Offloading manufacturing reduces risk, but requires you to have better oversight in other areas before actually shipping.
From what I've seen, businesses will often hire someone with specific experience dealing with Chinese manufacturers in their specific vertical, for example PCBs/electronics, tooling like injection molds, or textiles.
I was rubbed the wrong way with that line too, such claims usually set off red flags, but the OP appears to not write English natively so they might have legitimately missed out some tempering.
e.g. "AsmBB focuses on security in its design and reduced reliance on dependencies."
I'm not a fan of the manufacturer dubbing these "Magic Balls", when "sensor spheres" or even "Neuron" from the original article linked in this thread, is more than sufficient. We're not trying to appeal to home consumers here. Maybe it's for politicians...
Cool project though, transmission costs account for a large proportion of energy delivery.
As good as Steam might be, it’s still required for the games you purchased to run, and that doesn’t align with some people. You own your games on Steam as much as you own your music on Spotify. So priacy is still alive and well, and a lot of the arguments I see for it is stripping DRM and ownership.
I prefer Steam over other platforms because multiplayer is effortless, with a friend or at a LAN party that means means more time actually playing the game. But if it’s not on Steam or not everyone can afford it, we’re probably playing a cracked, portable copy.
Up to a certain point it's not much of an issue, but I had to re-read several sentences and I'm fairly capable of following written text. It's also an accessibility thing, screen-readers and dyslexics might have trouble interpreting the text.
I support bringing it up when it's frequent enough to cause frustration. Putting some effort once into the writing - typing correction occurs almost effortlessly on almost any device these days - benefits every reader.
Honestly, I am a bit embarassed by my post. In my defence, it was never supossed to by that long, not even half of what it turned out to be... And it was late, I was tired and I simply shouldn't write long texts on mobile to begin with...
I was about to respond to a comment that got flagged about this. A lot of this opinion I suspect stems from platforms like TikTok where non-psychiatrists are able to perpetuate the stereotype that ADHD is a "quirky", surface-level trait that makes for a neat partner/employee/friend.
Your experience is a common one, and ADHD is both under-diagnosed and badly represented, making for a toxic perception which some of the crowd here doesn't seem immune to.
I was on the verge of losing my job and probably my family before getting diagnosed. Getting on medication was almost an overnight 180 on all the issues I was having... and a bunch more that I wasn't even close to ready to solve yet.
(The following is _my_ experience. So read it that way. I'm not going to prefix every sentence with "for me...".)
It's not some fun th--squirrel!--ing where you occasionally act a little quirky or get a little sidetracked.
Everything I tried to do every day felt like I was trying to break through a brick wall. Except if I _did_ manage to break through, there was just another brick wall. And another. And another. Getting _anything_ done was _exhausting_. Most days I could do _a_ thing, and then I was completely and utterly exhausted.
The thing is, it didn't matter _what_ that one thing was, how long it took, or anything else. Doing a load of laundry through to completion felt like about the same amount of effort as when the power went out for 8 days and I was trying to cobble together a solution to get the water (well + septic pumps) running again. The issue was not the task itself, but just the effort to force my brain into actually commanding my body to do it.
I want to really reiterate that... because it's not that "survival situation" comes easy to me. It's that simply trying to get a load of laundry through to completion felt the same to me as being in a situation where we my family and myself were lacking one of the basic requirements for human life.
Career-wise... people always note that when shit hits the fan I'm always the one that's calm and have my head screwed on straight. I'm pretty straightforward with everyone that it's because in my day-to-day life pretty much everything registers as a 9.5-10.0/10 on the stress scale, so this isn't anything new for me... navigating this situation is the same as trying to navigate basic life tasks for me.
The work impacts were fairly obvious as far as productivity due to inability to stay on task. The impacts in my personal life were much less obvious--it's not fair to my wife nor my kid that a simple thing like a day trip to a museum is eliciting basically a "someone has a gun pointed at me" response from me.
I'd fought through this for _decades_ before it finally caught up with me as far as my work and my wife getting fed up with my shit.
Got diagnosed by a psychiatrist. Got on an extremely low dose of Vyvanse. (Like, I'm a fully grown adult and started out at the dose they'd give to a child.)
Even just that though... Suddenly the layer after layer of brick wall I'd been dealing with turned to drywall. It was still something to push through, but after decades of banging my head against bricks... throwing myself through drywall felt like playing life on easy mode. I was happy in a way I don't remember ever being. My self control was through the roof not just in focus but in things like "not drinking excessively every night". I spent more than one consecutive night sober for the first time in decades.
After decades it finally became _very_ clear why I couldn't operate like other people. It wasn't a personal or moral failing, it was that I was playing the game on Death March difficulty and comparing my struggles with a lot of people playing on "Just the story!" mode. The decades of self-abuse and damage to my self-worth do not get undone easily.
In a sense I should be sad about the fact that I lived life so held back for so long. But bigger picture I'm grateful. Many people struggle more than I do or aren't quite as stubborn as I am and hit this point and have these epiphanies and have to look back at a life with little success or little happiness and wonder what could have been. I've done quite well for myself in spite of everything.
But I can tell you with a great deal of certainty that had this happened earlier I would have spent a lot of years much happier.
I always appreciate hearing from people who are "like me." You've done well putting this into words, I'm going to save this.
It really is crazy how this medicine helps. I'm on a relatively low dose as well, having tried a few non-stimulants before with rather underwhelming success. I was always scared of going on a stimulant but it's been life-changing.
