I have an idea of what this might look like, but do you have any examples I can crib from?

This has been my experience in San Francisco over the past 15 years. The techbro types, who see technology as a way to get rich, often share the same worldview that life is about “winning” and in this business you “win” if you are smarter than others, so therefore since they are “winning”, they are smart and deserve everything they get (or… take). But, that mentality and their behavior and the culture it creates can often influence humble, empathetic people into that toxic self-hype cycle.

White dude in software here to echo the same sentiment. So many of my colleagues have never experienced any hardship of their own or viewpoints of people with different experiences. They don’t think about how their privilege has helped them get where they are, and how their company culture often subtly (at best!) reinforces their worldview and massages their egos. They’ve never tried to think critically about their “meritocracy” or “libertarian” beliefs and how many people are unjustly excluded from the lifestyle they enjoy.

20 years in software development for me.

I have 37TB of media and another 10 in the download queue waiting for storage to be freed up. Which probably would equate to tens of thousands of torrents (or nzbs in my case). So it was absolutely worth my time

I use it for work so it felt natural to do it at home too. If anyone has time to learn it as a hobby and doesn’t mind a challenge, I recommend it. But IMO you need to already be familiar with a lot of containerization concepts

I use k3s and argocd to keep everything synced to the configuration checked into a git repo. But I wouldn’t recommend that to someone just getting started with containers; kubernetes is a whole new beast to wrestle with.

Me, I just have never reinstalled my OS partition in 15ish years

Sorry, that’s a huge turn off. Filesystem perms exist for a reason and should be respected

I think I have about 15 misspellings of “git” aliased in my rc file

You do eventually get the close tag, when you log out. Lol

I love my little k3s box and having all my config in git

In 8 years you’ll get a visa gift card with 12 cents on it

It’s been a long time since I’ve had to deal with text rendering, so forgive me if this question is silly or uses wrong terminology:

Are the unicode LTR/RTL markers part of the filename or is the display layer supposed to figure it out by the codepoints used?

Alternatively:

Galadriel: (has hair)

Feanor: is it for me?

How about this really old talking tree guy?

Treebeard!

And the huge volcano mountain that is the source of the evil artifact?

Mount Doom, naturally

Alright this is a pretty funny parody
