What you call politics (US political “issues”) and politicking (the act of seeking and organizing power or influence) are different things.

Maybe US political issues have no spot in tech but politics are a part of being human.

Wow, you came to the Jellyfin community to write a long comment saying “I don’t know what this is and I don’t care”?

You don’t have to care!

Outer solar system becomes inner solar system. The king is dead all hail the new king!

Not like farmers don’t abuse and exploit the land themselves. It’s just a bit more aesthetic.

Not so much well defined as fancy words. There is no example of a paying software development job that has no economic impact if the software were to fail.

If I ran a small shopify page for goat feed, I’d be an engineer for making sure the site stayed working so farmers could order their feed. It could even put lives at risk!

It really only excludes someone privately working on a video game for fun.

So given that, what are they actually regulating? What are they providing to their members to help them become better “software engineers”. I say it’s nothing at all? +

You missed my point that if professional engineering societies in Canada want to take ownership of software and electronics, they better do something and not just say they’re regulating it and sit on it with no clear definition for what it even is.

If they were doing their job, we wouldn’t need to debate what a software engineer is. They’ve let us down and they’re getting away with it.

But architects aren’t engineers either! We have engineers in building construction, they are called engineers.

They ensure all required calculations are done, all safety standards are adhered to, they complete detailed designs, and they sign off on a project legally so things like quotes and timelines have legal teeth.

I disagree, I believe the regulatory agencies do nothing in Canada to legitimize their claim to regulating software development. Heck, they do nothing for electronics or semiconductors or anything smaller than the power grid.

That’s what I mean by “the grade you need”. If you need RON 87 don’t “splurge” for 93. It’s not better its just different and more expensive.

… Yeah just buy the grade you need not the “expensive” one, it’s a commodity!

Aw I was getting some “Weather on the ones - REMIX” ideas hah

With the word “multiplex” does it let you play both the radio and 8-track at the same time (overlapping?)

You just described one of the famous Catalan tapas Pan Con Tomate (maybe minus the cheese)

What do you mean “not anymore”? You can’t rewrite history… The G in GTK comes from GIMP. It was formerly called GIMP ToolKit.

I was replying to the comment thread suggesting they should switch to Qt.

The G in GTK literally comes from GIMP

I don’t think so. There even was an operating one in Saskatchewan Canada, but all it did was send the CO2 through a pipe across the US border for more oil extraction.

So… worse than doing nothing. 👌

Its not currently operating because even that was too expensive to justify.
