Same boat… even applied at Target for seasonal work prior to holidays and nothing…
10 years of military/healthcare service and 3 years of data analysis experience. Nothing. Anywhere. It’s getting kind of brutal just to survive now.
I would go back to school but my last university screwed me out of my GI Bill by submitting paperwork late and not telling me. Months later I get mail from VA saying I owe them a thousand dollars for a course I dropped after the cut off, even though I had dropped it in time. Without a job I had now way to pay it back, and now I’m pretty sure I can’t use what’s left.
I’ve been out there before when I was in wildland fire with BLM, one of the issues with the Preserve is (and issue meaning making things more difficult, not that it’s a bad thing in general) there’s a very strict ban on vehicles going anywhere besides premade roads/trails.
That means that instead of like most fires in this type of fuel where engines can drive up and directly attack it, it’s a hiking game. And even then there is strict rules about what kind of damage you can do to the area. In any other area this would a straight forward, put dozer line in, have crews start burning, and engines start mobile attacking areas they can get to. That’s why seeing fires like this sucks, because I know the crew (if they haven’t all left yet) from the Mojave National Preserve, and I know they’d want to do more to stop it.
Wasteful Days of High School Girls, when I need a good laugh it’s my go to.
I randomly discovered it on HIDIVE a while back, but it’s been taken off since then.
That is one of the reasons I am making the jump. With them closing out support for 21H2, even though I am on 22H2, it's only a matter of time before they pull the sneaky, "Oh, we updated this for you! You are so very welcome! Enjoy Windows 11 against your will!" like they have in the past. So, best to see if I prefer linux long term.
So, I finally decided, after years of putting it off, to try out Linux, specifically Pop\_OS. I was waiting for another SSD so it would live on its own hard drive on my computer. Today it arrives.
I first heard about it from Emily (I hope this doesn't offend anyone, just adding for clarity in case some aren't aware, but formerly Anthony before her transition) on Linus Tech Tips a long time ago. It seemed like an interesting OS, but being the hater of change I am (ironic that I just made a huge change dropping Reddit and love it so far), I kept telling myself, "Yeah yeah yeah, I will try Linux at some point."
So, does anyone else using Pop\_OS have any advice for setting it up that isn't in the online docs?
I created an account on both Lemmy.World and here, and I have to say, I kind of wish that all the servers experienced something similar. Why?
Comparing the Magazine/Communities list between each instance I feel that on Lemmy things are so spread out unevenly because everyone flocked to the community with the most members, but still joined/created local communities but left them empty. These means that at this point it is still hard to figure out where to join and where to call home, community-wise.
To me, Kbin's lock down basically forced us to create local magazines and start building them. That means, that regardless of what happens after the lock down is over we will have well established magazines here that we can call home while also joining the conversation on other servers across the fediverse. For people that are still trickling in, it makes it easier for them to find the subreddits they left behind on their home instance.
This lets Kbin.social be somewhat self-sufficient for those that aren't into the Lemmy side of the fediverse, as I know some people have complained about Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad.
It's going to be exciting around here once we are finally able to explore. This just feels like the starter zone where all the newbies can gather, safe from the outside world.
To add to what @atocci said, Kbin is literally an infant compared to Lemmy. It’s been public around a month. I think a lot of people jumped in thinking it was more established than what it was and are underestimating what it can do once it come back up fully.
The dev who made Kbin probably had no idea this would ever happen, so just give it time to get the kinks worked out. In the meantime, standby to standby.
Interesting. On IPhone you can, so it's weird that you can't on Pixel.
