Technology@lemmy.world•A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?English
63·3 months agoI believe the problem is that people feel entitled to a job with a six-figure salary just because they paid for an expensive college education. College has this air of excellence.
But then, reality sets in. Knowledge is nice, of course, but practical experience is key. You need to know how to act in the real world.

1·3 months agoI don’t know why you’re being downvoted but that’s a legitimate reason. Unfortunately, Microsoft Office has a total monopoly of the office market so incompatibilities are bound to happen with alternative Office software.

I’m running Manjaro since 2022 and it has been running smoothly. I guess I’m foolish…

8·3 months agoLinux is a worldwide community project, and its source code is readily available. It’s nonprofit. Proton is now a Swiss nonprofit organization without shareholders (https://proton.me/foundation). Nextcloud is an open-source project that you can host on your own server or in the cloud, which means you have total control over your information.
These are nonprofit projects that don’t seek to monetize from you because you’re not the product.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Creepy companies don't ask for your consent.English
26·3 months agoThe only way to escape these companies is to prioritize your privacy. When you do so, you’ll find replacements for the current capitalist platforms. For example, I switched from Windows to Linux and from Gmail to ProtonMail. I also switched from Dropbox to Nextcloud, which offers multiple services like a calendar and tasks. This means that I switched my calendar from Google to Nextcloud, for example.

28·4 months agoI’ve been building computers since 1999, and I’ve noticed that the industry is cyclical. I’ve purchased CPUs from both Intel and AMD. We need Intel to succeed, otherwise AMD will dominate the x86 processor market.


As a Canadian, I won’t be travelling to the Republic of Gilead anytime soon. That country is becoming worse by the minute.
