My entire IT team just uses chrome because it’s what comes on our work machines.

You say this like web developers don’t have bosses.

Are there folks freelancing as web devs out there? Sure. Is that the majority of the web we use? Absolutely not.

I’m gonna speak generally and it doesn’t quite generalize. Sue me.

Formal education in computer science is a waste, unless you want to be in academia. A formal education in computer science will either prepare you for higher education in Computer Sciences, or it will drill into you some best practices on how to be a good programmer. You can get the latter through brute force for free.

That said, I have a formal CS education. It has helped my career 0. I’m 10 years into my career and am the 1 man cybersecurity team (plus my boss and my coworker who does most of our networking stuff unless he’s too busy, then that’s me as well) for a fleet of ~4000 devices across ~1500 folks.

I have never once needed to explain to someone what von Neumann architecture is, and how it differs from Harvard. I have never once needed to explain two’s compliment or how to represent negative numbers in binary. Knowing what an xor swap is and why it’s used has only helped me solve a leetcode problem exactly ONE TIME. I have explained to many people what P vs NP is (no your suno track will not be the next cultural phenomenon) but nobody cares.

The stuff that did serve me was like, making the card game of war in Java. Even the GUI. That’s a project I would have never done because who TF would. But it forces you to implement recursion (war within a war), it entails some good validation checking practices, etc. the truth is though, I did not need a college education for that project.

At the end of the day, technical projects teach technical skills. Not PowerPoints based on textbooks.

If you wanna learn how to harden your servers, I recommend freemium hands on learning platforms like tryhackme or hackthebox.

Hack the box has a module on server hardening. It’s my go to for hardening servers. Happy to share the bullet points. It’s not too much. Basically just disable root auth, disable ssh except key-based, enable MFA (I use authelia) and you’re harder than 90% of boxes in the wild. Then just setup Fail2ban and you’re more or less golden for a home server.

Flock cameras contain copper and gold.

The fuck is this sloppy garbage?

Literally never

This person posts like 50 memes a day, and like 10% of them are vile shit like this. I have them tagged as dumbass.

That’s so sweet of you to care so much 😘

Shallow and pedantic

Lmao, well played.

Me fail English?

The precise definition and usefulness of the term continue to be debated,[8][9][10] and the scholars who use it today admittedly do so as a convenient basis for comparison rather than for exactness

Thank you for agreeing with me, and providing sources to back up my point.

To repeat my point,

Stating that there exists a generic UK accent is as useless as suggesting there exists a generic US accent. The wikipedia article suggests that linguists by and large agree with me. So again, thanks.

Go tell that to any linguist and get laughed at.

Their point is equally pedantic.

Yeah this was enough for me to tag them as ‘dumbass’ so I can temper expectations whenever I see them post from here on out…

…how is sharing my login to a monthly streaming subscription owning the means of production, exactly?

Holy fuck what an uneducated take!

Stay in school kids.

UK accents that are as different from each other as they are the generic American accent.

So yeah, when you say ‘British accent’ that means basically nothing to anyone in the UK.

It’s akin to saying “the generic American accent,” Which means absolutely nothing to anyone in the US.

The only Gen z term in this meme is “lowkey”.

The rest is gen x and millennial 80s/90s slang.

Maybe “kickback” being used this way is Gen z as well but the term “kick back” as in “kick back and relax” is gen x, 80s.

Because people with huge amounts of money also have inside information.

If the markets showed more favorably, it would be a legitimate indicator that there are more discussions of this happening amongst top brass. That there are no people nakedly staking profiteering bets on this is legitimate information worth comparing against the presidents words.

Like I understand polymarket and kalshi are gross things and they’re morally bankrupt, but surely you understand why a journalist would reference this very legitimate barometer of information…?
