Well when you outsource all your skilled jobs to other countries for a few decades, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they will move ahead of your country in the skills needed to compete against you.

That quest for extreme short term profits at the expense of your own long term sustainability/survivability has come back to bite you in the ass. Congratulations corporate America, you’ve played yourself.

what’s the alternative scenario here?

Parents could not upload pictures of their kids everywhere in a vain attempt to attract attention to themselves?

That would be good.

Aren’t fluorescent bulbs the ones that flicker?

Yes, but so do cheap LEDs (or more specifically LEDs with poorly designed drivers/power supplies)

I work with a few who prefer the office over work from home.

It does allow for a more clean break between work and non-work mindset.

I find it helps maintain a more healthy work-life balance.

Plus, I work on hardware, so it’s not like I can do that remotely most of the time anyway.

You’re talking specifically about software based IT jobs.

Those of us who deal with the hardware have always been and will always be on-site and hands on.

If they do, that means they don’t take design seriously

The diploma mill MBAs that run the place don’t know (or care) what good design is.

They only know how to look at business costs as “cutting into our profit”.

Though now I realize you actually have to get referred by one of the other members in order to start posting

That is done with the intention of keeping the quality of content high.

I doubt they want to get flooded with low effort “let’s play” gamers or even lower effort AI voiceover stock footage crap.

It was made within the last two decades

In that case, destroy it and drop it into a scrap metal recycling bin.

On the other hand: most cars are not moved 23h a day. They just stand around.

It doesn’t take much shade to have a signifigant reduction in the output of a solar panel.

Unless you are parking in an open field with no trees or tall buildings around, your power generation will be signifigantly reduced.

Not that the amount of power generated by a panel the size of a car roof is all that much, even under ideal conditions.

Everyone simply saw the yellow ones as neutral toned.

I use those ones because they’re closer to the top of the list, therefore faster to scroll to when I’m choosing an emoji.

All income is required to be reported and taxed.

If you are below a certain threshold annually you will get that tax refunded.

think that if you have the personality for it and something unique to talk about, i dont think that its that unlikelly. Especially if the target is $20 a day.

It is possible, but not likely. And even if you can succeed, it usually takes months or often years to build up to $20/day.

Until you build a youtube channel up to 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time, you are not even eligible to apply to be in the youtube payment program.

i tought i heard somewhere about her being a fascist?

Without any background or context or evidence on that accusation, I am hesitant to accept “I thought I heard somewhere” .

Actual fascists and nazis have been projecting that accusation onto their opponents for a while now.

I think it also depends on the locale.

When I look at both Kijiji and Facebook marketplace, I see far more listings on Kijiji.

It’s not happening fast enough.

I didn’t say it wouldn’t work for me, only that they make it hard to get here.

It would be cool if they sold the thing in (or were willing to ship to) my country…

Lightburn for controlling laser engravers.

It’s pretty much the only choice on Linux (though it is cross platform). Free 30 day trial, then ~$80 lifetime licence.

The other choice is LaserGRBL, which is open source, but doesn’t seem to have a Linux port for some reason. And it has a lot fewer features, with a more complex workflow.

it will just crash on you before you even find out

Older versions may have had issues with that, but I haven’t encountered any crashing in over 2 years. (And I i do 6 youtube videos per month with it)
