I fight my demons head on thank you very much. Seems quiet selfish to release them to torture the world. I am resistant to heat and freeze damage, I can take it.

Subnetting is so much simpler. Sure, it does seem more complex at first because we've been using IPv4 all our lives so that's our baseline for "what makes sense" but it's actually so much more elegant of a solution than IPv4 and I would suspect that once IPv6 firmly passes over 50% adoption (now stands at ~47%) it will be reasonable to start pushing to teach IPv6 first and IPv4 viewed as supplemented but deprecated.

Actually, that 47% was just overall, but if you look at it, many major countries are well past 50% adoption, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Japan, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, Greece, UK, Estonia, Germany, France, Norway, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, Guatemala, and the USA (and Puerto Rico specifically).

I think it's beginning to be arguable that in many major countries IPv6 should be taught primary and IPv4 supplementary.

Those indeed can be fun but be aware they're almost assuredly doing facial recognition on their users, and the whole system works by always retrieving the files themselves from a remote server, I'm fairly sure they don't even cache on your phone (I could be wrong there, though). It's really up to you if you think it's all fun enough and worth having fun socializing with your friends with the risk of lack of privacy in that respect. Maybe you can keep it to a minimum of anything important being talked about? Unless you have a major reason to worry about being targeted, most people can probably safely dip in just for a handful of throwaway conversations with friends.

Sorry other folk don't read modern slang.

I learned a decent bit about how biometric authentication works (or at least this specific implementation) by installing, setting up, and tweaking settings for Biopass. I also learned about how when you do first login using this method, it can fail to unlock keyrings because the password authentication has been bypassed so no password has been provided to unlock the keyring. It includes anti-spoofing local AI models, and the dev plans to have the option for the user to download and use any model for anti-spoofing/recognition. Interesting stuff.

Not the field you're talking about, but I worked in television news broadcasting for a while, and yes, the goal was absolutely to get a job at a bigger station with more news and thus more work and faster pace.

Our production manager used to try to train us for the bigger markets as well, he described it as making sure the team could "think on their feet" and deal with unexpected scenarios calmly and quickly.

So at least in that industry, yes, the goal is to end up in a more high stress workplace.

Believe it or not, some people actually really thrive in high-stress environments and do terribly in low-stress environments because it's simply not exciting enough to keep them engaged with the work.
