Alright, I voted prop 50 in, let’s get to it.

No -ism is immune to hubris. I still believe in people sharing in the profit of their labor, and appreciate this post clarifying one of the many ways dissent can be crushed, albeit temporarily.

If one’s idea is genuinely good, it better be able to handle dissent. Once gulags get involved, you’ve long ago lost the people’s belief, and are on a timer.

Evil never perseveres. Never has, never will.

I’m glad you posted it. Wherever, as long as I can read it. I appreciate the other person’s spirit too, but just glad for knowledge being shared.

I have 4mbps down, 3 up. But I only pay $10/mo.

Hell yeah, loved this album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyj1K5Lyr_Y

Using the same wiki you’ve linked, notice the word “accreditation” as key to the concept of a professional degree, with which you’ll then note all engineers who graduate in the US must be. Yes, all. ABET is our accreditation body. Thus, we are professional by your own definition.

Beyond that, one can also be licensed, but that is already in addition to already being an accredited professional by way of at least an accredited baccalaureate.

Finally, I’m going to be a little rude here, this example of useless pedantry is particularly why I left academia with prejudice. It’s been nice educating you on these unimportant minutea, take care.

I still think all engineering is professional, as is nursing etc. Electronic, mechanical, computer, all of em.

Look man, just go by the agreed-upon definition of the word: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/professional

This is an absolutely horrible test/explanation.

I’m a state-licensed engineer, a professional engineer…

Even if your other points were valid, this has direct impact on people’s income for years after they graduate.

I’ll go further and point out that in general, we need art as well as science, not one vs the other.

E: No dude, look at how the word is defined: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/professional, licensed or not, engineering or any degree requiring training is professional.

It has also been reported that engineering, a business master’s, counseling or therapy, and speech pathology will not be considered “professional” either.

Engineering is not professional? What a laughable sack of shit. We’re going to have a lot of work ahead to undo this damage.

I look forward to improving our systems better than they’d previously been when trump and project 2025 showed up.

Supposedly neuros are more sensitive to being just and fair as well.

I’ve been on the receiving end of some bullshit when I was young, and really don’t like seeing that kinda nonsense happen to others if it’s undeserved.

If you want to see one example of the dreck these idiots are following regarding disabled or ‘unskilled’ people, check this wack shit out:

As Delegate of San Francisco, what should you do with these people? I think the answer is clear: alternative energy. Since wards are liabilities, there is no business case for retaining them in their present, ambulatory form. Therefore, the most profitable disposition for this dubious form of capital is to convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.

Yarvin follows with a “just kidding”, but is he??? Why is every other part of that shitty manifesto stated seriously, but this one thing is a joke???

Read my comment again, bud.

Typical jersey, always gotta be the center of attention. 😂

10 bucks says a lot of that was bum-ass east jersey Staten island.

I absolutely do not want to run Google binaries on the phone, graphene doesn’t support microG and instead want you to run Google’s binaries on your phone, just sandboxed.

I hate that idea.

If you tear out the parts that talk to Google, then the phone hardware isn’t spying on you. It’s just hardware.

The critical piece tying your phone to Google every 3 minutes is called “play services”.

Calyxos was an OS for the pixel hardware that replaced play services with a FOSS library (called microG) which tricked regular apps into thinking they were talking to and getting responses from Google, when it was actually all happening on your phone.

Soon of a bitch 😓

Well, that was fun.

I disagree. I think having everyone send their federal taxes to a state entity for leverage purposes would be an interesting development. The individual is protected, and the state holds the bag.

Got a pixel? Check out calyxos, it’s a free system upgrade that rips out anything google but allows almost everything to work, even the play store and all your usual games and bank apps.

E: nevermind. It was great while it lasted.

Cool stuff. I’m not a photographer but some of the effects in that community are really interesting.
