I was born and raised a Packers NFL fan. Everyone in my family were die hards. When my father passed, we asked people to wear Packers apparel if they had it. There were some local Vikings fans that bought Packers shirts for the occasion. One guy wore a vikings shirt underneath to stay true. That’s what sports rivalries should be all about. It’s just a game but it builds relationships through competition. We may cheer for different teams, but at the end of the day, we come together for what’s important. If someone boo’d the Packers at my dad’s funeral, I would have laughed as I think most of my family and friends would have too.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Got tired of React… so I tried going back to COBOL
61·13 days agoThat’s definitely a choice you can make, but if I see AI at all, I immediately move on from the article or at the very least treat it as nothing of value. Other than the ethical implications of using AI, seeing it tells me the author couldn’t be bothered to care about their article, and so neither will I.
Just some outside perspective and feedback from just one person.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Stuck between living in America, China, or Japan... Which would you choose?
92·14 days agoWhether the US is the right choice for you probably depends on your skin tone and where you’d be living. If you appear Asian and move to rural Texas, you’re probably gonna have a bad time. If you look Asian but move to somewhere like NYC where there’s more of a melting pot of citizens and currently liberal leadership, it will probably be a better experience.
There is a lot of bad stuff happening here, but it isn’t detrimental (currently) to everyone equally. I personally wouldn’t consider China due to the extreme censorship and heavy handed government, but the US is tracking that way. Japan has its own issues as you mentioned, but I’m not well versed enough to speak on them.
It’s definitely not a clear cut choice and you’ll probably have to eat some shit regardless of your choice. I think the potential is highest in the US for success compared to the other choices, but you could also walk into the wrong store and get arrested by ICE.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How can I bring my Atheist sister back to Islam?
2·18 days agoGod isn’t real, so you haven’t spoken a single word of truth in this thread. And if he is real, then he’s a right piece of shit for all of the terrible things he does and allows. I’d rather role the dice with the big man down stairs who is only there because he loves me too much.
Religion is a cancer.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it safe to leave the front door unlocked at night in the US?
4·18 days agoGrowing up on a small town in Iowa, I would leave my car unlocked and windows down during the day. I lived rural and we never locked our door. Now there’s been more development near my mother’s house and she locks the door at night and when she’s not home. Someone down the street about a mile away had someone break into their house. Unfortunately for the perp, the home owner heard, grabbed a golf club and gave the dude a shiner and a titlists face tattoo.
Now I live in a larger metro area and keep my doors locked all day. I truly wouldn’t need to because we have a pretty safe community, but my wife grew up in a worse place so it’s more habit than anything. We also have dogs they could potentially pop a door open and get out, so extra piece of mind.

7·19 days agoI picked up knitting about 5 years ago when I was couch bound after having surgery on both my legs. I pretty much only do hats, but I have one hat that I wear almost daily about 7 months a year. It has a simple yet complicated looking pattern that frequently gets compliments and it looks almost like it did the day I finished it. I went with a Merino wool and love it so much. It was going to be all black, but I ran out of yarn and finished the top with white, so it looks like aagic 8 ball.
It’s also a great hobby for long plane flights and grabs some positive attention from the flight attendants.
I love the look of your work.
I’m not sure if you know this, but Newgrounds was THE place for this type of content and flash games at the time. YT has definitely made it more available to the masses, but it’s definitely not the reason it was as extremely popular when it was.
18 years later and I still shun non believers. Shuuuuun them.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Gimp 3.2 is officially released. The game has changed. Adobe just got punched in the face.
226·1 month agoAnyone that gets upset by an innocent acronym needs to grow the fuck up. It’s not malicious and it’s accurate to the name.
I feel this. I relatively recently pivoted into dev work for my career. I really enjoy it because we haven’t forced AI into our workflows… Yet. We had a couple devs run an experiment to see who could finish an app first, where one generated as much as they could and another did it all manually. It wasn’t even close. The manual job was faster to completion and good.
Unfortunately for me, my time is being split and I’ve been tasked to upskill on all of the different automation and AI tools that we have, because dumbass VPs drank the Kool aid, bought shit, and didn’t hire experience to configure and run those tools. I’ve been reading so much garbage trying to master copilot studio, and honestly it’s the worst product I’ve ever had to work with. I’m going to be having a heart to heart with my manager in the near future, and if I’m still stuck on the AI shit, I’m bouncing. I’ll use what time I have to bolster my dev skills and leaving. If I can’t find a dev job, it looks like I’ll be pivoting my career again, and I’ve been thinking something like electrician. Honest work, not has hard on the body as say construction, and I feel it could still be mentally engaging compared to some other trades.
God speed on your future endeavors. Fuck AI.
I’m not an electrician, but I have a relative that is. You nailed it. We’ve got a couple DCs going up near by, and he was asked to commit to a 2 year commitment for just one of them, working exactly the hours you said. He agreed because I think they are paying double time for all OT, and that’s good money. They asked if he wanted to sign on for the other DC but he declined for the obvious time reasons. It’s definitely had an effect on available workers for other projects since seemingly all hand are on deck.
I’m not familiar with the architecting process, but I can absolutely see how AI will be, if not already, involved with generating plans. It will shit something out faster than anyone could create it, but it will lose that value in review and the inevitable mistakes that make it through. AI is a cancer

Politics@sh.itjust.works•US Admits It Was ‘Likely Responsible’ for Mass Killing of Iran SchoolgirlsEnglish
8·1 month agoI filed a whistle blower complaint and a separate email to my dog shit senator, Chuck Grassley. It wasn’t my first email, but I did notice he removed the check box on his submission form for, “request a response to this email”. He and the rest of them are complacent cowards.
I have a good friend that is a cardiologist in the air force. Joined the military when he got into med school to cover his tuition and the get guaranteed residency. He’s never been deployed over seas, never been in a war area, and never designed a process or item that has led to an indirect killing. An exception could be if he saved someone that went back to kill someone, but that would be true for all doctors military or not, so that’s not a valid comparison.
There are many military jobs that are simple office jobs like accounting. Not everyone of them is linked to battle.
If you think these more mundane jobs indirectly lead to military related casualties, you better start hating on your local grocery store, because odds are they have given supplies to a soldier that eventually indirectly killed someone. Or probably any public service a soldier could use, because indirectly, that may help the soldier kill someone.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What would you think of a 48/49/50 year old married man with kids(including a 19/20yr old daughter) and grandkids blatantly and consistently flirting with women in their early-mid 20's
2·2 months agoAre the adults consenting or is it unwanted? Do you know for sure whether it’s unwanted or not? Just because you disagree with it doesn’t inherently make it bad, but if it’s not consentuel then it is bad. If the female needs assistance, then you can help out, but if she’s fine with it, then it’s not your business.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How can I remain professional toward this female colleague I feel wants something romantic with me when I don't?
19·2 months agoIt sounds like your inferring a lot in this. Maybe she’s just kind and has a flirtatious personality. If she’s just being overly nice and you think she’s coming on to you, just don’t reciprocate and live your life until it comes to a head. None of the details you’ve provided are enough for anyone to know your situation well enough to know whether or not she’s into you. It’s very possible she likes your company, conversation, or just enjoys being around you. That’s just normal behaviour for someone that enjoys someone else.
If she’s makes physical advances or makes statements that are inappropriate, then you have something that you can respond to, politely, to defuse the situation and clear the air. Don’t lead her on and be flirty yourself. It’s possible you have an addictive personality that you’re unaware is affecting her.
DO NOT TALK TO HER FRIENDS ABOUT THIS! That is easily one of the dumbest things you can do. How do you think that would play out? I wouldn’t talk to a supervisor for a similar reason. If she starts crossing lines or getting damn close, then have a civil conversation with her.
Just live your life, and cross that bridge when it’s an issue. It more sounds like you’re annoyed by her. If you enjoy her company, then don’t burn that bridge by doing something dumb.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How come some people can work 8 hours straight and then have energy to hit the gym, but if I walk for 1 hour in the treadmil all that I can is lay down for the rest of the day?
9·3 months agoHow big are you? I’ve got a buddy that is > 500lbs. He struggles to walk a city block. If you’re not clinically obese, walking an hour shouldn’t be difficult. As others mentioned, if your in reasonably good health, go to a doctor.

Memes@lemmy.ml•in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention
8·3 months agoSome default to those positions because we live in a misogynistic society that promotes that thought. Everyone of my closest friends and last couple of bosses are male and the primary chefs I. Their households. My wife usually takes out the trash, recently set mouse traps, cleared one, but I usually do the hair job. Not because I’m a man, but because hair is gross and my wife doesn’t deal well with slimy drain hair. This idea of “pink job” and “blue jobs” (my label not yours) is antiquated and bad.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Accidentelly run out of disk space when executing `apt upgrade` - Debian doesn't boot anymore
5·3 months agoAs others pointed out, it looks like you lost networking. If you can boot to a live USB, you can chroot into your environment with networking to maybe have better luck with the repair commands.


Never done it, but I do put them on my deviled eggs. I wouldn’t personally mix it with the egg salad, but it would be a topping of the sandwich. I will for sure be doing this next egg salad batch I make though. I’m not sure why I’ve never tried it nor ever heard it. In the Midwest US.
