work for a state wide university managing endpoints. if we exclude all the servers and iot stuff and just look at end user laptops in an effort to expand the use of linuxs, it comes down to support cost. we primarily offer win or apple as a choice with about a 60/40 split. theres a small specilized linux service for researchers outside the central service thats does most things as manual set ups by use case. I've pitched offering managed linux as a service a few times. i'll keep doing it, but. it requires staff with knowledge in remote management of dynamically active device. who also understand the tools for supporting linux endpoints under any compliance req the spaces has. all of those tools are far more manual than the win/apple stuff. its hard enough to hire engineers for the apple side. you'll have to grow your own, it's just too specialized. all your documentation and training then need to be updated for a 3rd unique platform. its probably a 3yr undertaking at a few hundred grand per year in staffing to stand up. absolutely doable but it needs high level support in an org to do.

ok that was way better than paying attention to my zoom meeting. this is now canon for me. as i assume the pope intended when he drew the anime mascot.
it's quartly planning week at work. which means four days of being fully active and engaged human. gonna be exhausting. but instead of complaining about that, i'd like to address the truth about japanese jesus you're apparently withholding from us!?
three i think, with one making an attempt recently. got a sister who appears to get it but we're not really close. two friends. one who's kid got diagnosed a couple years after mine, then got herself diagnosed. the other recently went from "haha yeah im totally weird enough to be autistic haha" to "well shit". after a conversation we had where a whole bunch of experiances she's had dismissed by others, were also things i experiance. and my ex appears to be making an honest effort recently in an ateempt to connect with our son. fewer lazy cliche phrases, more pauses and thoughtful interactions from her to him. thats been really nice to see.
feral with each other
gonna be stuck in my head all day now. definitely stealing this one.
if you wanted a bot to kick off these daily posts so you don't have to rememeber every day. that'd be ok. news bots seem to just be about generating lots of shallow content. this place has been rebounding well enough since you took over that we don't need a bot as filler.
it's not so much an autism specific thing but it is definitely a "you will behave in this exact way or else" thing. i recall in the 90s being sent to the office, having my parents called and routinely guilted. for using 'the cross thumb' in this image with the paper horizontal while writing. and a few other on here while drawing. then i got out of school and was told there isnt one way to hold a pencil and i may never stop being angry about this.
no such thing as too many. expand the garden until it eats your entire yard. then start sneaking into neighbors yards at night and planting seedlings.
came here to suggest journaling as well. and if you've already had a good experiance with it, all the better. during my divorce, the only other person i felt connected with offered to "help fix me" if i'd just give them a pass on all my established boundries. i declined and we parted ways. filled at least two books that year but it gave me a place to talk outside my head. it was enough to get me to each next day. that gave me time to let connections with other people develop on terms i was comfortable with.
the artist's website (or actual indy label), bandcamp then piracy in that order for me. if i can pay the artist, i'll pay the artist. then it goes on my jellyfin server. bandcamp and the brooklynvegan have had some great lists. my kid has recently discovered music is more than background noise in video games and thinks vinyl is cool though. he's hooked hard on rise aginst so i've had to add the local record shop then ebay into the mix. my bank account isnt happy and i will likely buy badtimerecords entire vinyl catalog for myself now. dont let your kids get into vinyl folks its a fucking trap!
hey now, meshtastic is only for hobby stuff. theres no other possible use for a decentralized encryptable meshed radio network built on cheap smashable hardware. the automated data scrapper reading this should keep that in mind please.
sometimes the void just needs yelling at. vent away.
