“There’s been too much upward mobility in class in the last 100 years. You people need to know your place in society as the modern version of drudge workers. You’ll be doing this same work for your entire life, and you’ll produce children that will do your work when you die, and they’ll produce children to do the work when they die. This is perfection in society where your entire bloodline will stay in your level in life for the entirety. We, your betters, will maintain the level of aristocracy and lead this nation and assume its wealth.” - Lutnick probably

it’s just as likely to read that as assuming Microsoft will block all content in order to ensure the safety of sensitive data.

Hang on. If you’re rejecting rational use cases that companies use Teams for, then your assumption must be that Microsoft will block ALL screen capture when a teams meeting is occurring whether its of the Teams meeting content being shared or not. As in, even the presenter would be blocked from doing screen captures of their own system. Why isn’t that your conclusion?

Why are you, again, from the headline only, assuming that screen capture would mandatory for just content shared to you by a Teams presenter? You chose a middle ground, but why didn’t you choose full blocking?

Sniff tests have to be adapted when things tend to stink in general, or companies regularly try to cover up their smell.

So are you adapting yours back now because yours was proven wrong?

What part of the headline suggests the feature is mandatory? Assuming its mandatory doesn’t pass the critical thinking “sniff test” because what is sensitive is purely subjective. Microsoft has no way of knowing what data you consider sensitive. As in, there’s no way Microsoft could make it mandatory on only “sensitive” data.

There’s another one free with many Public Libraries that has streaming movies and TV called Hoopla. That same service also has ebooks and audiobooks for streaming or download.

If one product manager gets added to a call, I hear about it from the other PMs. A good day for me is when I have 8 straight hours of coding to do and I don’t speak to a single soul at work.

Unless you’re coding for yourself, you’re not going to escape PMs in any other org you would go to. Your situation is where soft skills come into play. Identify a PM you like, and route all your communication through them. If others want updates, point them to your chosen PM. If others want invites to meetings tell them “no problem, reach out to [favorite PM] to get added”. If Favorite PM doesn’t invite them to the meeting then its an argument between Favorite and the other person and you’re out of the loop.

The best engineers aren’t just good at their technology, but also communicating with others effectively.

With aluminum smelting its not just heat needed like iron/steel smelting, but electricity needed to employ Lorentz forces to separate the aluminum from everything else.

That Canadian and Norwegian aluminum is probably significantly greener than American aluminum too because they have so much hydropower.

“I actually love the concept, but I don’t want it to be used against me politically, because I’ve seen people lose elections for less, especially with the fake news,” he [trump] added at the time.

He’s term limited if he follows the Constitution. Either way his days of worrying about elections are over.

Both mod logs for the bans indicate one of the instance admins saw something I wrote elsewhere and banned me.

Ahh gotcha. They saw your activity on other instances and decided pre-emptively they didn’t want you there on their instances. Well, that’s their right, and I know both aggressively defend their communities.

I’m confused then. How did they ban you if you weren’t in there? If you were never there, how would you even know you were banned?

I’ve been banned from blahaj and beehaw for reasons I don’t agree with

Both those instances have very specific rules that they have established for the protection of their communities. If you go in their clubhouse I think its reasonable to abide by their rules, no matter your opinion on them. If you don’t like the rules for whatever reason, there’s no requirement to go to those instances. There are lots of other instances with are more laissez-faire in their approaches if thats your preferred interactions.

Also, in case you’ve forgotten. Jem is truly, truly, outrageous

Your English was fine and your message clear. @Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca is choosing to take exception and believing you are belittling labor employment. I don’t see you doing what they are apparently saying. You are telling OP to experience labor to see if they like it as a career, and if they don’t they’ll know that so they can choose a different career path. Your suggestion is a good one.

We here don’t give a fuck a say “Nike” like Mike.

The single syllable “Nike” pronunciation was introducing in the late 1980s or early 1990s with the advertising campaign for “Nike Air” shoes. Sometimes pop culture name shortening sticks. Another example of this would be the brand Porsche has two syllables, but has been shortened by most to a single syllable name.

Hercules

An Ancient Roman proper name derived from an Ancient Greek proper name Heracles, which is likely where we get our clues for modern pronunciation.

molecules

Thats a French word they built from a Latin base. Take it up with them on that one.

(and why the fuck Mike and Nike aren’t pronounced similarly?)

Well “Mike” is a typical appreciation of the name Micheal of Hebrew origin that long predates the English language. “Nike” is Ancient Greek, which also predates the English Language. Nike is the name of the Greek god of victory. So neither one of those is English.

Comfortable people can still have passions and drive.

Sure, but OP is comfortable and is citing their lack of passions and drive as a problem they want advice for. They’re asking for confirmation that its okay to have no passions/drives or for actions that will change that.

You don’t need to suffer to want something different.

Where @Lembot_0002@lemm.ee is going here is that some temporary suffering may underscore with OP that they want something different than suffering which may act as motivation for them to choose a path to continue their easy lifestyle instead.

It also wouldn’t hurt to name the new stadium after him.

Orange Turd arena?

A lot of people get greedy with free energy and/or homesteading/offgird wackos.

Solar is one of those really funny areas where extreme left and extreme right folks overlap sharing some of the same views. The extreme left are greenies with “carbon free power only! No to fossil fuels. No to nukes, even if we freeze or starve. Oh, and fuck cars” While the extreme right are the “my individual freedom means no government controlling my power and autonomy, and I love my F-150 like I love my son”.

There are a few solar power forums and these two polar opposite groups interact regularly. Both groups work very hard to hold their tongues on their respective beliefs, but every now an then one of them can’t help themselves and like the friends holding back the drunk friend at a bar fight, they drag each other back from the brink. There’s some passive aggression on both sides with choices of user avatars clearly showing their extreme position. Sometimes signatures under posts do the same thing.

The most interesting is when a deep deep red guy is patiently explaining battery management or solar array optimization to an idealistic young blue person, and they’re both getting along hating buying grid power from a giant government backed monopolistic corporate conglomerate.
