Is the United States dead yet? I mean, it's got to be getting close, right?

Anyone here using micro.blog? I've been wanting to give it a try but to be honest, I'm a bit confused as to how it actually works. The people that use it, love it. I just can't seem to wrap my brain around it.

Ouch! My full disk encryption on my @fedora install just crapped out and now I can't boot the laptop. It's telling me that it doesn't exist and is entering emergency mode. Well, this is a new one for me.

For the past few days, I've felt like my allergies have been worse than ever. A friend mentioned that it might be the haze/smoke from the Canada fires. If this is the case, I can only imagine what hell our friends to the north are going through. And I'm sure it's more than just sneezing and coughing.

@rbreich I bet they all vote, yes. No matter how many calls they receive.

So, that position I applied for with that rather large Linux company? Yeah, just heard from them. "After reviewing your resume, your multiple years of Linux, Open Source, and hardware experience is impressive but, unfortunately, not the experience we are looking for."30+ years of Linux, security, hardware and Open Source experience isn't what they're looking for when it comes to a Linux Technical Support Engineer position. It really seems that the only way to get a job in any Open Source company is to be known in the Open Source community and, sadly, I'm not well known.That is it, folks. At the age of 58, I officially give up on the tech world. I have zero ideas what I will do now. For the past 30+ years, this is all I have ever known. Currently, my existence is the very definition of shitty life. Should be a great weekend ahead.

Okay, I gave micro.blog a shot but I just can't wrap my brain around it. I can't even figure how to get started or how to change the theme to a dark theme versus the default light theme. Maybe I just picked the wrong day (or month?) to try and figure this out. Or, more likely, I'm just too thick to get it.

@nuintari @stux I was on LinkedIn for a total of 6 months before deleting the account. It was worthless. Zero legit job offers or interest. Only spam and fake job offers.

I keep reading and hearing Americans say that we need a viable third-party option here in the US. We DO HAVE viable third-party options but Democrats and Republicans keep making it hard, if not impossible, for these third-party candidates to run and join in on debates. Democrats, especially, will say this and then continue to vote for corporate politicians.

Again, just use @signalapp instead. I mean, it really is this simple.

@Adam That’s true, but they haven’t done that yet. I will look at my options if this ever happens.

When I moved to this new instance, I said that I wasn't going to talk politics, but it's so fucking hard not to since our country is being run by a bunch of fucking losers. This includes all Republicans and Democrats. And so many people ask me why I gave up on the Democratic Party 30 years ago and became a Socialist. Gee, I wonder why? Absolutely fucking infuriating!
