The irony is, unlike the old days - actually AMD (ATI) is recommend for Linux now because the drivers are better.

This is in stark contrast to the fglrx days where that driver was an absolute abortion and NVIDIA was really the only usable one.

Not sure when you started your Linux journey but I avoided AMD for years based on that.

Now the tables have turned but I didn't realize until after I purchased my NUC which has NVIDIA RTX graphics. So I guess I'm stuck on NVIDIA for the foreseeable future

^ this guy corporates

Also, new manager would be part owner in a UX design firm of "experts" that conveniently, via their expert advice, convince management that a major redesign is needed and their firm is the only one that can do it (since everyone knows you can't get expert advice internally)

80% of the way through the project, the manager gets promoted and moves on, leaving a new manager with no vested interest in their predecessors project to try and clean up the steaming dumpster fire that is now 300x over budget

In NZ, churches don't have to pay tax. This makes them extremely attractive to people with no skills who want to obtain wealth

Yeah, but, like, how many hours will it take for you to deliver 5 complexity points?

I hope this never happens to me but based on the Peter Principle I won't know when it happens.

Oh shit maybe it's already happened...

I was thinking about this the other day. Because Lemmy instances keep defederating from each other, I don't really experience Lemmy. I experience a fragment of Lemmy as determined by the admins of the instance I'm connected to.

Even if I run my own instance, I guess there's nothing stopping instances from defederating from me (or just refusing to federate to begin with because my instance is too small to bother with).

Is there even a way to experience all of Lemmy, including spam and things some people don't agree with?

Why? All it's going to do is output some words that have a statistical correlation to your input words

And then managers go "why does shadow IT exist?"

Yep, being familiar with the data model is 98% of the effort.

The remaining 2% is the query
