Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•is it embarrassing to graduate college at 24?
3·15 days agoIt depends, of course. If you skip military service and then spend 5 years doing something like a 3 year bachelor’s of business administration then that could surely be seen as somewhat embarrassing. But for most people, 24 years old would be perfectly normal, even somewhat young.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•In a place without access to US apps and online services, how would you use the Internet?
7·18 days agoI used the internet for decades before any of the services you list existed. These days I use a few of them, but if they disappeared tomorrow I’d just go back to how things used to be.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Cloudflare went down today and took half of the internet with it. How does one company have that much impact? Do you think that's concerning?
3·2 months agoWhile some of the things that Cloudflare do are only possible through their massive scale, they also do a lot of things that are perfectly fine to do successfully also on a smaller scale.
For one example of one such thing, see:

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How does Minitool Partition Wizard or similar software able to wipe the drive its installed on.
5·2 months agoMy questions is because im not deleting the disk im actually wiping the disk, where is it storing the code for the wipe disk operation to run from?
Without knowing anything about any of the software you’re asking about, I can still say that RAM would be a very good guess, anything that was read from disk would normally store itself in RAM before modifying the disk it was read from.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a genre of music you're waiting to have a resurgence?English
32·3 months agoOn the contrary, to me this is a really weird question, I struggle to guess why anyone would want to know what a random bunch of strangers think about this.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your least favourite song by your favourite band/artist?
17·3 months agoWhy do you want to know this?
Once I ended up in a situation where I was required to be present in the office but didn’t actually have any tasks to perform (all work on our project had been halted by some patent lawsuit).
So I simply talked to my manager and asked if it’d be OK if I used the time I had to sit there with nothing to do to work on open source projects and after some initial confusion he agreed to this so that’s how I then spent my working days (until the work they actually paid me for eventually got going again).

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your guilty pleasure movie genre?
1·3 months agoThat guilt is real. I readily admit to romcoms and kaiju movies, but knowing that every time I buy a ticket, I help feed the billion dollar slop machine, that stings.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your guilty pleasure movie genre?
91·3 months agono matter how horrendous the dub
You willingly watch dubbed movies!? Now that’s the first answer here for which I really understand the guilt.
I’m not so sure about that, when my friends who work in finance tell me about the people they work with their stories often make me think that I’ve been very lucky to end up in a field like software where people in general are so nice, helpful and cooperative.
It all depends on what one compares with, I guess.
