Oh that thing. That unasked for news crap, yeah I turned that off first thing on any mobile I use.

Not everything, like illnesses and disorders.

I mostly still agree.

I mean I can’t read it because of NY times site shenanigans but…

You don’t say…?

‘for professional use’ aka I am not in any way connected to the maintenance or responsible for it.

There’s a big difference there. Using windows maintained by whoever to connect or maintain other systems.

What you working in IT?

I agree all bark and no bite.

At this point the US is at weekend at bernie’s level of faking.

Bicyclists are a major issue for pedestrians (esp. Disabled) - speaking from a European perspective

I would say yes, I haven’t dealt with windows in a professional way in over 20 years.

Also cert, lpic maybe? Feel free to follow up.

What?

I disagree! For decades I haven’t touched windows for professional use. Yes you might need it as a client os but answering the question yes, it’s possible.

As a watcher from the outside:

It might not be fun to hear but vpn is neither the solution to government oppression nor a solution against tracking (recently there was a good article regarding that) so all you do is pay more.

We should have a party!

I hate hate hate that alcohol is a thing everywhere and I have to neglect several times even though people know me.

We’re in Europe, our sanitary installations work differently here and mostly doesn’t clog up and if it does - yes, after a few attempts you will call a plumber.

Anyhow I feel massively gatekept if I am not maintaining my vehicle myself. Wow.

Thw amount of assumptions made is staggering.

Hm, interesting.

We have quite a different perspective there!

For one, a car is identical to me. It’s literally the same combustion engine and stuff around. Of course some different details but really doesn’t make much difference. And I know how the engine works and other various stuff.

However, that does not make me a good mechanic. That’s why I pay one. Aka if I am riding on a death machine with 2 wheels with high rpm it’d better be maintained by someone qualified.

As I said in the other answer, it’s a commuting vehicle for me. Possibly this especially here on lemmy is a slightly different thing since the US - in Europe’s eyes has lots of space for more and more cars but here it has a lot of advantages to not use a car.

But why? I am not a capable handyman, but still want to ride a bike. Still cheaper than car and low maintenance only riding on city streets. As a more efficient (gas and space) commuting vehicle.

Wouldn’t that be gatekeeping? 😁

I’ve experienced the opposite situation lots of times.

Just because I ride a bike does not mean I am a mechanic or fix stuff myself. Far from it, I leave that to a professional. Most people seem to think all men tinker on their bikes.

Yes basically capitalism is rigged and at some point we are forced. Hence wage slaves.

I agree and I know it’s hard to swallow, but that’s enabling.

Yes, life is hard and it’s not easy or possible for everyone to change jobs. Still.

Is pure real life comedy gold.
