“Archiving legally purchased content as an insurance against corporate-sanctioned theft”?

Nice strawman, bro. I never said a damn thing about screen readers or translators, good or bad. And yes, I’ve read and filled out the entire survey. It doesn’t become a good survey just because it’s biased towards your personal views.

Nice assumption, dingus. I filled out the survey (it’s a terribly written survey) and sent it in before even writing that comment.

My question is, who asked?

I have many opinions about machine learning and its current position in technology, but expressed none of it in the comment. In case you missed it, the point I was trying to make is that this is a bullshit survey with obviously loaded questions and foregone conclusions, uninterested in gathering impartial feedback or addressing concerns.

We’re already past the “spreading awareness” stage. Now it’s time to do something about legally sanctioned robbery.

Managers will still expect you to do 60% of your work on 60% of your keyboard.

Visual Studio for live .NET debugging and the WPF live editor.

The fandom takes cosplay and immersion very seriously.

Sony is the biggest fucking security risk in this entire deal, what the fuck

It’s because xbox’s naming scheme is fucking stupid.

It’s not markdown, those are different unicode characters. https://cursivegenerator.net/

By the way, you can view the markdown source of comments and text posts. There’s a “view source” button that looks like a document icon on the stock Lemmy UI.

The virgin .NET:

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;

The chad POSIX: LANG=C

You can call it 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓭𝓮, but it’ll still taste like shit.

Mainly because our students are idiots and will complain if the computer doesn’t turn off. Or worse, take independent action and hold the power button, or actually yank the power cable. Maybe I should just lean into it and convince them that the monitor is the computer.

Jokes aside, how could I implement such a policy? I’ve only found one that hides the power buttons from the start menu, but Windows still responds to ACPI.

As another IT guy at a university, having to manually turn on 30 computers in a classroom for updates or whatever is already a pain in the ass. Wake on LAN is not a reliable solution. Havin to manually flip over every box, then putting them down, and then fixing the cables that got yanked… I’d throw those fuckers in the trash.

The Dell Optiplex 3080 Micro’s form factor is perfectly tiny without compromising user comfort.

If you really, really, really don’t want to buy a keyboard and monitor, you can buy a USB KVM console, but it’ll likely cost more. Something like this: https://www.startech.com/en-us/server-management/notecons01

Skullcandy has been a good experience. Cheap and durable. I’ve had two, a pair of Smokin’ Buds 2 (died from a broken cable, now discontinued), and a pair of Jib True (my current earbuds).

I bought the Jib True five years ago for about $40 and so far they’ve survived a dog, getting dropped in the toilet, and multiple drops onto a hard surface. I haven’t noticed any battery degradation. The audio quality is kinda mid (I used them in a factory at my previous job) and I can’t speak for the microphone, but they’ve served me well. My biggest issue has been some oxidation on the charging pins and contacts.

I hope they enjoy analzying my once-a-month subscription to FFXIV and nothing else.
