Really sad to hear this, I just found out about Ondsel recently. Glad to hear FreeCAD is getting their merges, but I really would have liked to see Ondsel find a market all its own.

Ple*se stop.

Different distros for different uses:

• Debian with KDE for my casual servers and Docker boxes.
• Nobara for my main gaming PC.
• Linux Mint with Cinnamon for my general purpose PCs and my #JustWorks uses.
• Arch for my pimp mobile test machines.

Lol I am so happy about this.

Oh…oh this is some sweet justice lol.

I have a feeling that if he ends up in jail, he’ll be tasting something else…

Buy beans folks, canned or dried bulk. Stock up on some frozen fruit if possible too.

Hey Taliban, have you tried Fumunda cheese? It’s pretty flavorful.

Noob friendly? Linux Mint. It’s not the prettiest, but it looks nice enough, especially if you tweak the themes a little, which is super easy.

It’s a fantastic all-around distro, and if you use the default Cinnamon desktop environment, it’s rock stable and super easy to navigate.

It’s what I use on all my personal laptops and also what I set my parents up with when I switched them from Windows to Linux.

Hey, JD, why don’t you go find a fire hydrant to sit on and make it disappear?

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they never stopped to think if they should.

I worked for a classic MSP a while back, barely lasted 3 months. Such a toxic environment, tons of pressure to spread yourself thinner and thinner.

It was one of those places where you were expected to be there an hour early, stay an hour late, and work through your lunch.

Even though that’s illegal, it was never explicit, just one of those, wink wink type things. But the workload was always so heavy, you couldn’t stay on top of everything unless you were working 50+ hours a week.

And of course, all salary, no overtime or double time for weekend work.

I do internal IT now, much better. Trying to get my own one-person shop going to eventually be fully self-employed. Actually, it would be really cool to become a worker-owned co-op, but that’s still a faint dream.

I’m starting to get the hang of it. I was using Debian, so I had to figure out the basics of venv because many of the frameworks I was trying to learn require newer versions of Python than what comes with Debian.

vscodium works really easily inside it though, so it wasn’t too bad, but I still feel like I’m treading water a little bit.

As a baby Python Dev, I’m glad it’s not just me.

When somebody tells you who they are…believe them.

5800X3D is my CPU for the next 3-5 years probs. Maybe even longer, it’s so damn good.

Oh Behave

Sadly, this seems like it’s likely a case of psychopathy. Technically you can’t diagnose minors with it, but they have pre-adult terms for the same thing.

Children at that age, at least according to the majority of modern research, have extremely low rates of successful behavioral reconditioning towards socially acceptable norms. It’s almost zero.

The best researchers have been able to do, even with extremely intensive treatment, is to slightly curb their most violent and predatory tendencies.

I agree that we should take a non-retributive approach to justice, but the sad truth in these cases, at least as far as we know right now, these folks cannot be fixed and reintroduced into the general population, they are too dangerous.

Their brains, either through genetic misfortune, or through extreme sustained trauma from infancy, are permanently malformed. They lack any significant capacity for empathy or love. They cannot relate to other people on any level, especially emotionally. Their brains are literally not wired for it, as awful as that is.

We shouldn’t throw them in a hole though. They should be permanently imprisoned in specialty facilities that constantly treat their mental disorder and try to employ them in productive jobs that can help society. They should be provided proper medical care and resources, possibly tightly supervised short term release in condition of exceptional behavior and treatment response.

Keep it up! 😊😇
