First of all. This is not an insult to the web developers. I live in Nepal where most of the job vacancies are for fronted/backend developers. Even through referees I only get web dev related roles for intern. Every path leads to rome here.

I have no other interests except linux, scripting and web scraping and that's a big problem. I really have no idea what I should learn or make. I am in my final year and I am feeling this sense of urgency which is annoying and overwhelming.

What should I do? I want to learn about Linux and OSes in depth but I also need to be employable. Also, after getting a job how do you learn new things. Since your job will be taking a huge chunk of your time. Education is a scam and I am a removed.

I bought an LG C3 in 2023 and since then, I never updated it. I decide to updated it like 2 weeks ago, and, after the update, I noticed that, if I set HDMI Deep Color to 4k, almost all the clarity settings are grayed out, including the TrueMotion I'm interested in (I like it on Cinematic Movement).

Before the update there wasn't this issue. What can I do?

I tried:

• changing the cable
• change the input type to streaming box or Blu-ray player
• reset the TV

Info:

• I'm using the TV connect to a pc (with Linux if that matters);
• OS version: 33.22.95

I've never seen anyone else do this either irl or in a video but I'm sure lots of people do it. When I make a grilled cheese I mayo both slices then put both slices in the pan at the same time rather than stacked in sandwich form so it takes half the time to cook and I don't need to flip it.

I'm from the Netherlands.

"WEF Bilderberg globalist POS bankster" is the most accurate description I've ever heard of when imagining a center-right or liberal person.

Summer is in full power here in Kerala, India. Concrete radiating heat and rooms are hot even at night.

Have seen people mention things like blackout curtains, reflective or white paint on the roof etc.

Have upped hydration and am now sleeping with windows open, with a mat on the floor.

What all things do the people in your locality do? Or if you have any specific insight into cost-effective techniques or so, could you kindly share them?

Thanks in advance

If I ever have enough money, I’m thinking of setting up my own small server and migrating Lemmy to I2P. A Lemmy instance with the same features, but running on a completely free and anonymous network. Everything will be allowed except for moderation regarding serious topics and spam. It’s a nice thought, even just imagining it.

I made a post asking specifically for DC fans their opinions. The people who responded aren’t actual fans—they’re just people who think they are fans but have never picked up a comic in their life. My question is: why do non-fans try so hard to engage with real fans?? You aren’t a real fan of DC, Marvel, or anything superhero-related, so you don’t deserve to be in the fandom space.

the link I posted is metal gear solid song that i wanted to play at a protest. It's not necessarily a protest song its about turning away the torment's of your heart and turning towards eternal joy, but the Gaelic lyrics does make me thing of the songs that were written by all the conquered people throughout history and how those would make great anti war songs.

I do want songs about working class solidarity that are modern. I've picked up Iran ai lego songs, they're actually pretty good and the lyrics are pretty good, I haven't found any quite on the level, the Iranians go hard on trump.

seems like all the anti war songs are not from this decade and anti ice is lacking.

here are some songs I've picked out for protest for protest:

MACKLEMORE - HIND'S HALL 2 (feat. Anees, MC Abdul, Amer Zahr)

The Genocide That Is Not Over | Iranian LEGO War-Themed Video By Akhbarenfejari

Les Misérables | Do You Hear the People Sing?

IT AINT GONNA GO AWAY - ODE TO THE EPSTEIN FILES

Billionaire Buffet (feat. Kasane Teto)

The TikTok and Pinterest trend called the “old money aesthetic” is just a really fancy or classy lifestyle. It’s basically a preppy, Ivy League, business-casual style, and these clothes are things regular people can also buy. They have a bunch of them at Walmart, and you can get them on Amazon.

Even a middle-class person can get an old Mercedes or a Porsche. As for golfing, chess, and other “old money hobbies,” again, regular people can do that too. Regular people go to galas, plays, and basically live a super fancy lifestyle—it’s not limited to just “rich people.”

Do rich people do these things more? Sure. But again, calling it an “old money aesthetic” is dumb when classy or fancy people in general do this.

There are even YouTubers who teach regular people to be super fancy, like The Gent Z / Gentleman’s Collective and Jamila Musayeva, and neither of them come from “old money.” This is just a very classy and fancy lifestyle that anyone can really have, regardless of whether you are middle class, working class, or upper class.

Back in January we had a run in of break ins resulting in the work car being stolen from my house.

The thieves post on what I think is instagram about it and I have been sent these two photos. (Second in comments)

The main photo is from today so it appears I'm being watched after getting the car back

Any way of finding the account?

Feel free to ask me anything you want, dirty or clean about any topic. I'm at work and I'm bored as fuck. Pm me or comment

For me it was Cheater Bennington. Linkin Park music helped me through some hard times and I know some of the more impactful lyrics came from him and what he experienced.

Knowing he couldn’t take it anymore definitely hit Me hard particularly as someone I looked up to from young age …

Who was yours ?

Sometimes on phone reviews I read that a certain model, often one released in a Western market, uses NFC for payment. In my country, mobile payments use QR codes so any phone with a camera can use them. Does NFC have any advantage over such a system?

(Research as in finding info, not creating it)

I feel like it's so much harder to find the right places to get info from when so much of the web has been enshittified by AI blog grifts & sponsors these days. I do not want my only source to be a Wikipedia page - that sucks & I'm always left desiring more from it! (Not to mention more controversial aspects often go un- or barely mentioned for 'impartiality' reasons)

Maybe it's just a me problem & I'm not being analytical or probing enough as a lot of my former hyperfixs were fictional & facilitated partly through social media. I just really miss going down rabbitholes & failing that I'd like more empirical evidence for my perspectives as I think I've forgotten how I developed them in the first place

I always enjoyed explaining to patients what we do, why, what they should do for aftercare and what happens afterwards. What I don't like is the grind that's nursing and how immature, lazy and uneducated, proud antivaxers, many nurses I work with are.

The subjects don't seem that difficult, it would be simply studying more comprehensibly anatomy, biology, chemistry, medicines, OR, legal...

I find it realistic to pass this bachelor but I'm on the older side already. My fears are:

• a reduced job pool: everyone needs nurses, but the need for PAs is not as big. I'd have less choice.

• age discrimination: true that most of us will have to work till 70 or 72 but I'm still afraid of being rejected for being old.

OTOH: better work life balance and clearly more money in a field that's not completely unknown to me and I don't hate.

I looked but don't see a thread about Iranian music. It bums me out that we're bombing yet another country that we know nothing about. I like to think we Internet people are all friends regardless of our governments. I'm literally having panic attacks that I can't stop my electeds from being assholes, I wish I could commiserate and make friends with everyone else

I just started thinking about it. Why is space exploration even that necessary? They're spending so much money on it when we have so much problems in our own planet..

I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it's forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

Short answer: cities are too far apart and the USA is large. However, how much funding is there to really implement the same thing that exists in Japan but in the United States? Also, is there an incentive for that in the first place? What about population density? Japan is more compact regarding their population density while that's not the case for America plus both Osaka & Kyoto aren't too far from each other (but Miami & Washington DC are distant).

I recognize it will likely not be respected, but is there a standard way to communicate a denial of consent using LaTeX? I'm considering using it for a job application package. I realize it's illadvised, and probably won't use it in this case, but there is just something so wrong to me about foregoing your rights to get a job and that's what spurred my interest.

Even though Scotland is part of the UK, they print their own bank notes from 3 different banks: Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland & Clydesdale Bank. Same with Northern Ireland (not Ireland proper), their own version of the currency is from Ulster Bank. Despite that, they're both categorized as "Pound Sterling" (GBP).

Meaning they inherit the same monetary value as the British Pound, with the only difference being that they're issued by different banks (like the ones from the UK proper are issued by the Bank of England) while the Scottish ones are from either of those 3 banks mentioned & the Northern Irish one is from Ulster (and mainly used there).

Even though, both versions of the "Pound" exist: are they recognized in the UK (like Britain itself) as real money (legal tender) or will they consider it play money (refuse to accept)? The thing is, are they exchangeable in Europe or will there be issues with foreign exchanges on dealing with both Northern Irish & Scottish Pound notes?
