Or use Flatpak Steam, which specifically has the EAC-enabled Proton build, if I’m not mistaken.

Maybe have patience, instead of darting right to social media to whine and complain upon any stumble.

jQuery

Just about everything that people used out of jQuery is virtually built into JavaScript or CSS3 at this point, and honestly I’d probably advocate just using plain JavaScript instead of some of the recent overly high-level frameworks

Adding to this: I’m not an iOS/macOS user, but I’ve seen a significant overhaul and uptick of development activity of Monal in the past year, especially since it’s gotten funding for development. https://monal-im.org/ https://monal-im.org/post/

It has fairly poor reviews/reputation on the Apple App Store because–those are very old reviews when the project seemed practically abandoned. Reviews/ratings in the past year are more accurate.

Perhaps instead for compatibility, it could be an attachment to a Note (maybe even with the Note serving as the alternate representation), rather than having to completely dull down the vocabulary just to play along with Mastodon?

Or rather, I guess I should have worded it more to my original intent of the message: figuring out how to break people out of those patterns.

I can probably attest to some of the same, just lesser severity. Of being a stupidly naive kid on the internet, pulled into fandom things early, and only being able to distinguish the sensibility of a person based on their avatar and how well-spoken they are. Getting pulled in by art communities and webcomics, and gradually into weirder forms of content. Then later on when I had a vehicle, started to be involved in local fandom and staffing for conventions, while just looking past all the negatives and oddities.

Started to get trapped into certain belief systems (the ones fairly exclusive to furry fandom) that only created excuses to have depression and ‘pity Olympics’. Then I actually started to browse around and actually see what a lot of the people of the fringe look like (of folks that I thought were sensible people), but when you just see what they look like, it becomes exceptionally obvious in just appearance and attire that something is way off with them, even to the most socially-underdeveloped of autists to see.

Finally had some self-reflection, moved away from those fringes and beliefs, and have been a lot more functional since; but still somewhat ‘trapped’ into the general broad sphere of ‘furry fandom’ for friends/connections, since being with social outcasts during developmental years probably doesn’t help one’s social development. For a majority of folks I’ve kept an eye on over the years, it’s pretty much a ‘Hotel California’ where I just see people get sucked in, develop into the worst of habits, and despite however many times they ‘officially announce’ that they’re “leaving”, they’re always still stuck here.

I feel bad for the next naive generation getting sucked in by catchy furry VR memes on TikTok and such, not knowing where they’re going to end up.

Can’t speak about details of hirability, but I think performance-based certifications where you actually do tasks of a job, is something that should be carry more weight. Meanwhile, I wouldn’t hire anyone solely on a CompTIA Security+ cert, unless it was just some sales position for a security consultancy company. I’ve seen the worst of people just repeatedly retesting for Security+ until they pass (whereas Security+ is a DoD requirement, for anyone wanting admin access on military networks, thus they try shoving people through).

While I’d give support for the Linux Foundation’s LFCS or LFCE certs, given those are performance-based, by actually performing a series of tasks on actual VMs, with no search engine use, just repo-provided documentation.
