BigMikeInAustin , to Selfhosted in Would it be a good thing for the average person to self-host their apps? If so, how to get there?

I am not talking about jank yolo prayer work. I'm talking about people learning how to do something properly. Duct tape a car is not the repair I'm talking about.

You are complaining about there not being enough skilled workers today. I'm talking about people learning the skills over time.

Look at how many types of food and products are starting to promote cleaner ingredients and more sustainable materials as people are starting to learn more about their health and the environment. People can learn and thing can get better.

BigMikeInAustin , to Selfhosted in Would it be a good thing for the average person to self-host their apps? If so, how to get there?

I'm not saying that today everyone should push a button and start self hosting. I'm saying it would be great if more people learn to self host and that there are benefits to people learning more.

People don't just absorb knowledge. It will require education programs.

Did you know how to do everything before you started?

More self hosting would improve the "average" person baseline.

Education of people is always(?) better, I'd say.

It's good to exercise the mind, just like exercising the body.

What if 25% of car drivers could handle their own car maintenance? The one downside people will scream at first is that fewer mechanics will be needed.

But that is too short sided.

More home mechanics will need to buy more tools, so that's more store jobs and more manufacturing jobs and more shipping/trucking jobs.

And more people who understand mechanics mean a better workforce who can invent new/better products or processes. And can do more research into manufacturing science, which would improve society.

This would also lead to safer cars because they are better roadworthy, and car manufacturers would have a harder time using low quality parts.

So all of those changes would apply to technology when more people know how to use technology.

BigMikeInAustin , to Technology in Meta will shut down its Teams competitor Workplace next year

development slowed considerably after people returned to offices that had been empty due to the covid pandemic and after a number of key employees left.

I wonder if those two things are related. Hmm.

Also, the return to office was a conscious and forced decision with lots of evidence against it, so boo hoo.

BigMikeInAustin , to 196 in Timer rule

Do you really? That's pretty understanding and nice.

BigMikeInAustin , to Selfhosted in Clean your physical connectors!

Nice. I would not have thought to clean the connectors.

BigMikeInAustin , to Interesting Global News in Women should give up vaping if they want to get pregnant, study suggests

Why can't this be "Vapes and tobacco lower women's fertility rates?"

Sure everyone should not smoke. But why is this worded as the responsibility of the woman?

What if a couple smokes and the woman is willing to stop, but the man doesn't want to because this only says that women should stop?

Why is this not, at least partially, the responsibility of the companies marketing a highly addictive product with no health benefits?

BigMikeInAustin , to 196 in rule

Hey, um, how is this name pronounced? Is it with a W sound? Slightly similar to "wong?"

BigMikeInAustin , to Selfhosted in How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?

As long as you remember before you turn off the computer!

BigMikeInAustin , to Interesting Global News in US vetoes Palestinian request for full UN membership

That's pretty shitty, US.

BigMikeInAustin , to Mildly Infuriating in I was handed this lovely flyer while grocery shopping

And I bet you just want the right to decide which traffic laws to follow. Or which taxes to pay.

Go live on an isolated island if you don't want to integrate with society.

BigMikeInAustin , to Mildly Infuriating in I was handed this lovely flyer while grocery shopping

I just want to visit a major theme park without getting measles. Or get an education without getting a once-defeated debilitating disease.

You shouldn't force your diseases on people.
