@nprofile…cl5w Apple intelligence is really skirting that line these days though.
Prompting me about it after every single update is almost as bad. Especially since it updates overnight so this is the first thing I see in the morning.

@nprofile…795r I’m glad I just finished listening to it then. Having listened to it, and considering all that is going on, I can make some educated guesses.
It’s sad this is the state of things though. I’ll wait to hear more next week.

@nprofile…r0kn definitely not in the equation.
At least to according to the equation they published and as broken down in this video 😝

@nprofile…cl5w @nprofile…5lc3 I think you found the super secret real agenda of the tariffs. Bringing weed production back to onshore 🤣

@nprofile…cl5w I really loved my PS Vita. I don’t think I’d use it as much these days though. I don’t travel on public transport every day like I used to.

@nprofile…cl5w this reminds me of an ex manager of me. Would always comment on me wearing short sleeve shirts.
But then he’d roll up his long sleeves 🤣
I’m in Australia it’s too hot for long sleeves most of the year.

@nprofile…d2rl you didn’t mentally prepare yourself to letting go of the little things. So they are becoming the outlet.
You have prepared yourself for selling your car and house, so when they happen you have sort of already dealt with it. But that lamp, you didn’t think about the lamp until you had to let it go, so now that became an outlet for your emotions.

@nprofile…d2rl all you have to do is nod out say thank you or show some other form of appreciation for their actions.
Is not easy at first, but you’ll get the hang of it soon enough and then it will just feel natural.
And you’ll start to expect it going to other countries and it not happening the will seem odd 🙂

@nprofile…d2rl the foundations are so important.
I’m currently mentoring/training 2 junior staff in my team one with a background in support and one without. Neither seems to have foundational knowledge (not a knock on them at al, they have the right attitude so will learn it over time). And it makes it so much harder for them.
I gained that knowledge during my early career by always being super curious (and sometimes trying some crazy things) and it allows me to see and understand problems so much quicker.
I did get some of it though to me in my course 20 years ago. I’m so grateful for that.
I figure it was in the course because the teachers were actual IT professionals still working in corporate environments.

@nprofile…cl5w I feel the same.
I’m much more engaged in the second season of Silo. Find myself much more excited to be able to watch the next episode of than the next episode of Severance.

@nprofile…d2rl one smash step forward.
once you get a drivers license you’ll have to get used to the way we drive here, I sure had to 😝
I could have sworn all I needed to get my license was to show a certified translated copy of my overseas one. This was a long time ago though.
I had been here for a few years by then as well, so had a bank account and phone by that stage.

@nprofile…d2rl you’ll do great and you’ll find your feet soon enough. I’m sure of it. 👍

If you have a mechanism (executive orders) that gives 1 person (the president) the ability to make unilateral decisions on what is going to happen, you are in fact not a democracy.
It’s actually quite surprising it’s taken this long for it to be abused the way it is now.
And yes I know they are technically not laws, but they may as well be. Everyone complies with them because they are afraid of any consequences if they don’t.
Not sure why I suddenly realised this as it seems quite obvious🧐
I don’t think any other western countries have any thing similar.

@nprofile…d2rl all sorts of awful. I already told my parents I would not be meeting them there (they live in Europe and Hawaii was going to be a me in the middle situation).
I really would like to convince them to not go to the U.S. at all (they want to do new year in New York).

@nprofile…d2rl I can imagine. It’s a life altering event. And the older we get, the scarier those become.
The fact that with everything going in your life, you still continue doing mentoring and being engaged with the community is such a fantastic indicator of you and your character.
If you ever need anything in Sydney, let me know and I’ll be happy to do what I can 👍.

@nprofile…d2rl that’s great news. There was never any doubt in my mind that you would your way in Australia.
You are such an amazing person that posts so much, and there are plenty of Australian companies that do value this.
I would be very surprised if you ever struggled to find a job here should they be required.

@nprofile…d2rl @nprofile…zv5x I come across those people all the time.
I don’t understand how you can pretend to understand what something is like if you aren’t affected by it.
It’s seems really basic to me that you should listen to the people directly affected by something, when they tell you what the situation is like.
Because of me listening to those affected, I will be avoiding the US in its entirety for the foreseeable future. It seems clear they don’t want people like me to even visit.

@nprofile…cl5w @nprofile…d82u @nprofile…20nu I like Fastmail’s and 1Password’s integration for email aliases.
Makes management a lot easier, I’m comfortable enough with their encryption details, I don’t have crazy requirements.
Been using Fastmail for 2 years now, no real complaints. Just seems to work, exactly what I want from my email provider.
I also use a custom domain (except for the aliases, for which I use the Fastmail domain).

@nprofile…cl5w can’t say I had that experience when I used it several years ago. This was before they became software only.
We ran server’s that were bought direct from Nutanix and directly supported by them.
Only had one significant issue which was with some flash card that had a high likelihood of corrupting during a firmware upgrade. They replaced it promptly on all our servers.
I actually quite liked their feature set and interface at the time.

@nprofile…d2rl good to see you are already starting your integration into Aussie culture. The slang/insults are absolutely amazing.

@nprofile…d2rl ah yes the good old physical. I had to do one of those as well. What annoyed me the most about it was that I wasn’t allowed to see the results 🫤
They went straight to the immigration department.
I did mine here in Australia, so maybe yours will be different.
Best of luck, shutting I’m sure you are in great physical shape with the martial arts you do 😎

@nprofile…d2rl I didn’t have much of a plan when I did it a decade and a half ago, but I had 1 big advantage. I had a partner who was Australian, so I was able to use the partner visa.
Still cost tons of money and took a significant amount of time once I applied.
Also I was in my mid twenties, which I know now looks a lot more attractive on a visa application than someone early forties.

@nprofile…d2rl maybe nostalgia plays a part here.
I ask for my prayers to send me things from my childhood in Belgium (mostly Belgian chocolate and curry ketchup). But they are tasty things and are either impossible or hard/expensive to get, unlike your list there 🤣

@nprofile…d2rl my bad. I thought it was the skills assessment for your visa application

2024-12-10 18:31:57

@nprofile…d2rl getting through the pre screening is a move in the right direction.
I do remember hearing skilled migration visas are processed as a priority over some other types.
Hopefully you’ll get through the assessment by the end of January. 🤞

@nprofile…d2rl why just recruiters, politicians in other countries should be making changes to make migration of skilled workers from the US easier.
So many high skilled workers a country could attract to boost the economy.
