I misread pensioners as prisoners. Was really worried about what they do in prisons over there. Then got to the comments saying “this is common” and I reread the title a couple times before it clicked. Wow I need sleep.

I tried using the Leaf for a couple weeks. It was interesting.

I guess I should stop interacting with Reels

I live in Australia, which I guess is not a civilized country.

In any case, what does that even mean for software engineers to be certified? Do we get certifications for specific programming language? Or a stack? Or is it specific to what industry your tech is based on? Cos I don’t think it makes sense for someone working on a social media platform to have the same certification as someone who’s working on health tech for example. Why does it need to be a protected title? Does the general public even care or is it just other certified engineers who care?

Yeah I was gonna ask, whether certification/government regulations are required for all engineering disciplines. I graduated with a CS degree and work as a software engineer now. I have family members who studied different engineering disciplines (industrial, civil, mechanical, etc), and only 1 of them ever needed certification (civil engineer). What makes one more “engineering” than others?

I’ve only visited Colorado once, during my cross country road trip maybe 10 years ago (I’ve since left the US) and loved it there. I did notice how much healthier/thinner everyone was. I was in Boulder for 2-3 days and did a couple day hikes. Everyone was very friendly. I would love to live there. As someone who’s on the higher side of normal weight, I’ve never felt so unfit.

Is this true? I’ve been having some issues on my LibreWolf this past week or two, when sometimes YouTube takes 3-4 seconds to recognize a key press.

Does that mean they chose to be gay?

They’re just stopping development of the Pro to focus on the cheaper model so not necessarily abandoned

Tangentially related, is there a community with weird/absurd news that’s not quite oniony?

I had just rewatched this last night!

I’m someone in that group. My last 2 jobs have been following a former manager. Now about 70% of the engineering department are from previous companies
