I do, I have a career goal I have been marching towards for some time but the momentum I had has stopped.

I joined the IT workforce during my generals at college, before the .com crash in the 90’s. I dropped out and have been working my way up ever since. I’ve led teams, I’ve been an architect, I’ve been a senior engineer, but I have always been after a director level role. No matter the experience though so far, the door is closed unless I have the degree.

So, I’m thinking about WGU, for an IT Management degree (maybe eventually a masters). It’s what I do every day, so I hope I can test out of a fair bit and the rest I should probably brush up on anyway.

I’m not after Fortune 500, I’ll go be a director for a balloon manufacturer or something, just a role where I can have a little of my own agency.

I’m aware, but I’m stuck where I am and can’t climb any further. So, either stop trying or try something else.

I never did but I’m now middle aged and stuck in my career without one. I’m right now planning on finding a competency based program to try to speedrun, so I can stop working on implementing others peoples broken garbage.

I’m not going to reply to any more stupidity in here. Go theorize all you want. I’ll just leave one comment.

Otherwise it’s like saying you want to be able fly without developing theories of physics, aerodynamics, and internal combustion engines.

Check a history book, that’s precisely how we started flying.

I love this idea. Libraries should provide free hosting for people in the community.

Im all about democratizing the internet, and im all about self hosting. Libraries could be just what we need for that.

Brilliant idea my friend.

these are not two sides. The system is working as some intend so needs to be dismantled, at least large parts of it, to fix it.

People always forget, nuance exists.

I have always assumed that everything that I type into an LLM is guaranteed to be completely insecure, and entirely public. I would never, in a million years, put anything sensitive into an LLM, any account and password is unique.

I mean, I figure whatever I type is going to be used as training data for the next iteration, and I assume anything that goes in, is retrievable to some degree.

I just threw it on the family laptop to give it another life. So far it’s great, and I would honestly suggest it as a regular user desktop system. My kids will be fine with it, so would my mom, and any of my non-tech-savvy friends.

Personally I probably won’t switch from my beloved LMDE, but I’m also a greybeard nerd who’s set in my ways.

That’s why they are going to saddle the neckhole dude’s widow with him.
