So often it’s patience from stakeholders to allow for time to actually design and build the things, or willingness to admit the actual cost, or an impossible grand vision with an unqualified/understaffed team, and of course reprioritizing constantly as if it’s easy to resume later without paying ramp up.

Don’t get me started on the constant detailed status reports…

Fuck ICE

What’s the point of being a billionaire if you still have to kiss ass. What a loser.

The first four words of that title are sufficient

There’s just so much blind hope in trusting a monopoly to play nice. They exist specifically not to play nice. Nestle is an evil company with ties to child labor, and has been sued for price fixing. So they’re hardly an example of a ‘good’ monopoly.

Even if monopolies magically didn’t price gouge us, they’re a terrible idea from a strategic standpoint. You’re putting all your eggs in one basket. What happens when that company completely screws up? That entire industry is broken. Look at Boeing.

There are so many real world examples of why monopolies are an extremely bad idea that you’re either trolling or extremely misinformed.

Good idea, but that doesn’t appear to be it either.

Same problem on another machine. It seems so strange that I’ve had this happen before with a different brand, and that the vertical works normally.

This mouse is probably 4 years old fwiw.

Double checked and all of the drives are basic. I’m very confused as to what is different between the disks that readable and the ones that aren’t.

I’ve even tried multiple distros. Same scenario.

It was a good theory, but no luck. I’m perplexed on this one.

With the recent Microsoft garbage, I’m giving Linux another try. I’ve been running a laptop for a while, no issues. My main rig, however can’t read all of my um…?hard drives

A live USB of Mint 21 reads 2 of 5 drives fine. The rest are recognized from GParted, but can’t access them. It looks like NTFS-3G is installed.

I’ve duck duck go’d (which apparently is just Bing) for a solution, but haven’t succeeded. Long term, I can probably pick up another drive, copy, and reformat everything to something Linux friendly. For now, I just want access.

I’m lazy and burned out. I don’t want to use the terminal- which I did try. I just want to make a few clicks and have access to all of my files.

If it matters, the drives (roughly) show up as: 500 gb, 4 TB NTFS (readable) 3, 12, 16 TB unknown (not readable)

Windows says they’re all NTFS.

Is there an easy way to easily mount my drives?

Nobody wants to work today. Right?

I’m drooling at the thought.

Who would have thought that another merger would not lead to lower prices for the consumer? Break all these companies until there’s like 10.

It’s also really strange that conservatives love gutting the government… Which is a pretty big part of what makes a country. They they love that flag.

I was trying to find active users since he took over. But the only numbers I can find are numbers provided by Musk, who is a well known liar.

I know Lemmy and Mastodon are niche communities, and that people put up with a lot of garbage from Big Tech, but I have to believe that a lot of users have left Twitter, or least that usage is down. I also assume bots are way up, because Musk wants his numbers to be up regardless of the source (save for people with an opposing opinion).

Hopefully Musk’s shitty little empire crumbles…soon.

A speeding ticket for like .0000000000001% of your daily income.

That is a lot of money for a state.

In Minnesota, we raised sales tax for a county of 1.2 million people for 20 years to pay $355 million for the Twins stadium.

This money could fund schools, or public transportation, or just tax cut for the people that actually need the money.

Increase the millionaire tax.

“Are you don’t yet? Why aren’t you done yet? Help me update infinite plans that will be outdated in a week. Also, I just promised a bunch of stuff… all that stuff we already promised, I think you can do that faster.”

When I was a dev, I once had a PM with no technical skills that decided he would “learn to program to help catch us up”… He did not succeed.

(not) > allowing mergers of companies that are already large enough to be publicly traded at all>

That’s a great way of putting it. I’ve said that once you own X market share or produce X revenue, mergers should not be allowed. No innovation or competition comes from letting giant companies devour their rivals. I like your line in the sand better.

Well that’s terrifying… I might watch the show if it ever comes out
