  • No one was really threatened with violence to join the Nazi party.
    It never was a decision between joining and dying, or joining and going to prison.

    The choice for most was joining or losing an opportunity to advance their career.

    Even the guards at the concentration camps did the job voluntarily. Being offered the position was a chance to live like a medieval lord, with a mansion, servants, and actual direct power over people’s lives. The alternative was to continue living a mediocre life in Germany. That was enough incentive for enough people to staff the camps.

    I don’t have a fucking clue what you’re talking about.
    Android uses the Linux kernel. So it is a Linux system.
    But only in the same way as your Chromebook, your TV, your car’s entertainment system and your programmable vibrator are Linux systems.
    Doesn’t mean “good” or “bad”, doesn’t mean “hackable” or “free software”.

    Although on Android, it’s trivially easy to install a proper Linux with all rights, and access to the phone’s sensors, sms, phone calls, GPS, etc. in a chroot environment.














  • Any career advice coming from the prior generation is useless because it doesn’t apply to your generation.

    Even starting a major because everyone’s currently hiring in that field is useless. By the time you’re finished, so will all the other students who started at the same time to get a good job down the line.

    I gave up my initial plan of becoming an ecologist and went into IT for job security. And now I’m about to be laid off cause the company I work for is close to going under, for the third time.

    Meanwhile friends of mine who started their careers as social workers, physical therapists, nurses and in the trades are buying houses while I live in a moldy apartment.

    My advice is to just do what interests you, you probably won’t starve. Also, disregard this advice if you’re just starting out your career. I’m 40, so my experience won’t be helpful to you 20 years younger people.
