The "Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse" gets a lot of mixed reviews more on the negative side but it's the only mouse that helped with my wrist pain - the combination of its angle and it being fairly large is what does it.
The only problem is that the mouse button wears down after about a year, it's repairable with some superglue but the clickiness changes.
I hope the two I have last until onward starts selling them.
The real bottleneck is a web browser that can render the modern web and there is no real solution for that.
The current Labor government lost a previous election in part due to proposed changes regarding the taxation of investment properties. It dumped[0] those policies and won the last election.
Property has become a cringy weird national obsession to the point where high-school children [1] and are thinking about it.

Come to think of it, why is SUSE considered as a serious replacement for RHEL and not Ubuntu?
So as a corporation you don't really need a mastodon instance to broadcast your stuff. I think most organisations will go this route. (and i suspect threads hopes to piggyback of this for content).
I was part of a forum based community in ~2010 that constantly debated moving to reddit. It boiled down to "no one joins forums anymore vs we lose control". These events were not unpredictable.
Reddit wants users to use their app so they can accidently click on ads. Like most of the economy they've switched from prioritising growth to prioritising value.
Reddit will be fine. They will add moderation tools to their app. The mods who leave will be replaced.
The only reason I went to university is so I can apply for entry level jobs that require a university degree. As long as the job market is structured this way it's cruel to fail student for not putting in "sincere ongoing effort". Nothing about university is sincere.
The other side of this is shows that run too long due to the inertia of their initial success. I am now unwilling to start watching a popular a TV show because it won’t end until it turns bad. This might be 10+ seasons and there is no prize for watching it all.
I am fundamentally tired of being told stories. Nowadays I just stick to movies: The time investment is minimal, and if you are willing to read subtitles there is lot of them.
A lot of it is probably just timeless inter-generational resentment but it doesn't help that boomers still haven't retired and caused a logjam.
Asking a Qatari official his opinion on the subject is either going to solicit a non-answer or negative one. Even if he personally doesn't believe it. So why ask him? What purpose does it serve?

He also blocks on the letter 'B' which makes him slightly halt when pronouncing words like "Baldrick", "Blackadder", "Bean", "Bob" which he uses to this comedic advantage.[1]

I'm probably venting, but consider this: You don't always need to have something to say. Try not to say anything unless it adds value to the topic at hand. In work meetings, the pleasantries should come at the beginning and/or end of a meeting. This is the only time for banter. The rest of it should be focused, most people want to end the meeting ASAP so they can get back to what they were doing.
So what? You hang out with allegedly smart people, we produce a lot of them, some even provide the world with more utility then working at a FAANG. What point are you trying to make? Are you suggesting there are no unambitious people in Asia?
We have a lot going for us too - our political system relies on institutions, not personalities. We still have the best of everything. Corruption and Nepotism is minimal - your family surname doesn't matter (you are a self-proclaimed example of this). The cream more easily rises to the top.
> I honestly believe that China, India, and other Asian countries will dominate the next century and beyond. They're pumping out engineers (people who can think, use their brain) while Americans talk shit about themselves and want to degrade.
"Pumping out" is the key phrase here.
The same type of abstractions would have been build on top of whatever was left standing and we would have more or less the same things we have now. These accounts are not epic battles, they are just businesses competing with each other. An OS is just software that manages hardware, a lot of the innovations are academic, if it runs the hardware properly, it works.
That said, as long as it's not taking up time you should be utilising for other things, I don't see a reason to stop. As you've been doing it for a couple of years you're going to run out of material and you will have it all memorised soon anyway
Mine is one and a half. I think it's more important that it's easy to read, if you're trying to fit everything into one page and it becomes dense or overly brief it defeats the purpose of the rule.
These rules are made up employment coaches (or whatever they're called) who need content to write about and want you to hire them for their consulting services.
A Resume is a crapshoot anyway, anyone can put anything they want in it - most of it is unverifiable until tested. As long as you have the required skillset, the important thing is that you don't act weird in the interview.
I work at a large corporation, my email (outlook, which we also use to book resources and rooms), password management, desk phone, software updates, identify and privileges are all tied together with a Microsoft stack (I don't pretend to know how it works). Do you need this? If so, is there a Linux equivalent to this holistic management? Do you need full MS Office (eg macros)? Are you happy with the variable compatibility that LibreOffice/online suites offer?
I am starting to suspect that there might be nothing to find.
I just don't think people (other then the tech oriented) are creating websites and running forums - and why would they? Reddit might be be only place you _can_ find that type of content. What should search engines do then?
With a tiny number of exceptions, it might be that people chat on reddit, read Wikipedia, ask questions on the stackexchange network/Quora, local communities use facebook groups, and businesses have a wordpress site with nothing more then a bit of fluff, a phone number and an email address.
Yes, it's simple advice, but when I recently started a new job it didn't automatically click that no one knew my capabilities, personality and previous career accomplishments. No one wants to be saddled with dead weight - especially in tech where there can be a high cognitive load.
Prior to that i used https://freedns.afraid.org which is free if you are willing to share your domain (people can create subdomains that point to their IP) or you can pay to keep it private. It's been around for a very long time, so it's unlikely to vanish. It's a very good service.
