I work in higher education at legitimate public colleges, and increasingly, many degrees feel like little more than credentials sold for tuition. Instructors may never meet their students, courses often consist of recycled online content and multiple-choice quizzes, and students commonly rely on ChatGPT.

The quality of instruction can be equally troubling. I have seen someone earn a cybersecurity certificate and begin teaching the subject the following semester, while another instructor requires programming assignments to be printed on paper. After working at two reputable colleges within a large public system, and seeing the poor quality of my wife’s recent master’s program, it is difficult not to view much of higher education as a sham.

different goals and different way of tackling problems is maybe why people struggle with Linux? like someone only knowing Western languages taking up Chinese , where they approached the communication issue a bit differently. apple and Microsoft wanted a user friendly experience that everyone in the family can use a computer.

how Linux works is a good book if you want to learn more indepth. also something like Linux from scratch. not only will you learn a lot about Linux, but operating system design, networking, storage, etc. doing this will legit give you a better foundation than quite a few IT technicians.

whaaat? did he really say this or is this ai?

ai is so realistic now.

example, violence for entertainment. yes we've majorly turned against that which is good. child marriage, also good we got rid of that.

meat for food though, that is in our biology. our bodies need the nutrients that come from meat. we are biologically omnivores. yeah we can try to supplant that, but it's through an artificial means.

I'm all for it, but i don't think it's going to be frowned upon in the future and i don't think all humans can switch over to a plant based diet tomorrow. vegans are too much caught up in themselves to think of the practicality.

I work in IT. I think it's popular because it's "free".

With that said, I put up a picture on the office wall of a Swiss army knife with features like syringe, fire extinguisher, axe, etc and have it labeled Microsoft Teams. Yes, it can do 100 different tasks, fucking poorly.

Driving to Texas. Half way there, at night, not many cars on the road, I seen glow on the left side of the road. Slowly I notice it's a fire. As I get closer I noticed it was a pickup truck fully engulfed.

I ended up just driving without stopping because: I had somewhere I needed to be and I was exhausted Anyone that was in that truck was already dead

This is a bit inaccurate. What about truck drivers? They are extra shitty then. But they wouldn't be extra shitty if they didn't deliver your Charmin to Costco for you to purchase.

Don't blame the end-user, blame the system.
