my experience suggests that they usually either go into consulting or software sales/relations; it went back to IT because it's easier to find work due to the lower levels of gatekeeping, which helps ensure that i meet my need to remain in the place i've chosen to live out the rest of my life.

... my point is that humans undervalue harms that are seen as less acutely, physically brutal ...

i think you've excellently summed up the reason why horrible things like a genocide are allowed happen; so long as we're not allowed to witness the atrocities in the media and we dehumanize them, we will never understand the needful visceral reaction to stop it.

So the risks are undervalued and both intentionally and unconsciously minimized. The result is most of us who’ve seen the inside are quietly horrified and that’s the end of it.

i wonder if something like the Hippocratic Oath could help; but then again the same physicians to took the oath committed atrocities & human rights violations under the eugenics programs/pushes that that the united states suffered from in the early to mid 20th century.

how could anyone interpret a meteor impact as cause for war?

i started in a similar fashion (but through IT instead of electrical engineering) and i've also left the world of professional software engineering a couple of months ago, but not because of the bad code bases.

it feels like bad/spaghetti code with bad practices are more common than not and i've always wondered if the relatively intense level of gatekeeping in the software engineering field is a manifestation of a false mass belief that an engineering degree will automatically result in better code.

And Democrats will continue to insist that we vote for them anyways while decrying anyone who doesn't as tankies or irresponsible.

You have to accept that there are no such thing as unfucked sources and make your mind up accordingly

I suspect that this is the story for most Linux users; windows failing at a critical need

it's wild how so many are unofficially cooperating with ice, using official police equipment and personnel to do so, while maintaining a false air of neutrality (since it's unofficial) and it's depressing to see how well the facade works on people who don't pay close enough attention; especially so when they publicly take pride in how their "blue city" doesn't (officially) cooperate with the ice.

windows doesn't show linux partitions correctly.

did you have it setup to ask you which operating system you wanted to boot and do you still see it?
