Shutdown -P now in the wrong terminal window and a server at the other side of the country went down.

Electrical work and blacked out the entire 500m level in the mine.

No, I’m not.

As for social acceptance I like my personal space. Don’t care what you do as long as I can opt out.

Office work 2-3 days.

The others have been mentioned. Not quite daily but I’ll occasionally get paid to do CFD simulations.

FreeCAD, salome, openFOAM, paraview.

For the same reason people hate the Nazi trolls. Extreme left or right does not matter. Normal people don’t want that garbage.

I don’t.

I acknowledge the sense of community and belonging a religion can bring but I find the entire notion of believing in anything supernatural to be absurd.

Sweden: you can apply for a licence from the police for target shooting if you’re an active member of a club, or a hunter if you have passed a hunters exam (like drivers license basically). You’ll have your criminal record checked.

Either way the gun must be suitable for the purpose. Shotguns and hunting rifles are not very hard to get. If your criminal record is clean and you’ve got the hunters exam you’ll probably be granted a licence for up to 4 hunting rifles/shotguns with the only question being if you have a large enough gun safe. You’ll get to keep them forever unless you’re convicted of a crime. (There is a debate right now if doctors should tell the police if someone is unsuitable, the argument against is that people would not go to the doctor if they suspected they could lose their guns)

Hand guns are harder to get and the license needs to be renewed every few years and you’ve got to prove that you are actively hunting/target shooting.

Magazine size for semi automatic is limited. Length of rifles and shotguns are regulated as to not be easily concealable. All firearms must be stored in a heavy safe when not used. You’re not allowed to carry it around town.

As for my opinion as a hunter it’s not excessively burdensome to get your license. The time delay has been due to under staffing rather than the laws itself. I do take issue with the “suitable for purpose” as they can arbitrarily deny you a licence because it “looks” like a military rifle.

Order online, call to cancel subscriptions.

If the employer foots the bill they will discriminate based on where you live, which as far as I know is legal in the US and Sweden.

Besides, why should they pay one person more because where they live? You’re providing the same value to the company. Would it not be better to pay both workers a bit more rather than only the one living far away?

I don’t think it is. I don’t live in America. Question does not specify where it is. A vast majority of the world is not America.

Check if the password and user name is the default for the model. Google the model or see if there is a sticker on it.

There is usually a factory reset button. Again Google how to do that for your model. Then you can log in with the default password. It will also reset every other setting too so if you lack the knowledge to reconfigure everything else they will notice.

If either of your parents is better than you at IT I advise against trying. They will notice.

This name was made for lemmy. I have different names on different platforms because users from one place should not me able to find me anywhere else.

I have a gaming name I use on multiple places however.

Any compensation for commuting to your regular work place is considered taxable income.

The government allows for a tax deduction if commuting costs exceed a certain amount.

I would not do anything about it as is the custom in Sweden. If they want to change it their union can negotiate it, but they are generally more interested a bigger raise than misc benefits.

The economy would come to a screeching halt for a week or two when everyone is suffering from withdrawal.

Coffee would be served in underground cafeterias. The criminal gangs would immediately find a new very lucrative market in coffee smuggling.

Best enjoyed at a distance.

Probably too busy stealing back what is mine.

Currently using Manjaro.

Many many years ago when I first started using Linux I tried Ubuntu. It was easy enough for me to learn enough to be able to get stuff done. Dabbled in mint for a while, don’t remember why I switched back to Ubuntu.

Not a huge fan of the snap packs and the entire 2022 I had a string of problems with dependencies being out of date on different computers (company server, my own desktop). So I snapped and semi randomly picked a non Ubuntuoid dist that would let me get back to getting stuff done the same afternoon.

The company server and the CFD computer at work still run Ubuntu. They work for now.

I see no compelling argument for believing any particular religion.

I’ll pick out the good parts of philosophy if you have any but I’ll leave the dogma and rituals.

Probably legal unless you use their art.

Could they sue the hell out of you, block the game on app/play store and generally make your life miserable if they felt like it even if it would not hold up in a court: Yep.

You ask a carpenter what his favorite tool is? I like languages that are fit for purpose, and I enjoy using them for that purpose.

I used bin/bash when I automated the backups at work and happy doing it. I was pulling my teeth out when I had to write code for communicating with Bluetooth devices in /bin/sh because that was what was available from factory on the router.

I picked Python for when I needed to scrape a Romanian phone book (to win an argument on the internet about something completely unrelated to programming). I once tried doing parallel programming and threads, it did not work out very well and I switched to some other language before I got too deep into it.

My guilty pleasure is the voodoo magic of C. I don’t really have a use for it in my job so I never get around to really do anything with it.
