What’s flatpak and why in the world would I need to know about it in order to use a cad program? Do you see why people don’t use this stuff?

Very strange the number of downvotes on this post.

Yeah some dude literally posted a meme the day before.

are there any certs you would recommend, if they even exist?

honestly... if I see certs on a resume I immediately get suspicious. In general certs are worth absolutely nothing and if there are too many of them they will actually make me less likely to recommend someone for a position. Experience is way more valuable than certifications and open source work is even more valuable than that.

You can still be called Indian, there's no reason they get a monopoly on the name... Just like people call people from USA "Americans" even though that literally applies to 35 countries, you can still call canadians "americans" or peruvians "americans". Context clues give people a lot of information, you don't need to always be explicit. You can also do exactly what I did above and specify "American Indian", which clearly gave you enough information to proceed to make the comment you did..

My wife works on reservations. I haven't heard of any of the tribes she works with being fine with being called Native American. They have their own government organization called the Bureau of Indian Affairs, it seems pretty clear that they prefer that term.

No I'm not. My wife works on reservations. American Indians prefer to be called Indians, not Native Americans.

There is bike registration. https://bikeindex.org

It’s helped track down bike trafficking gangs sending bikes to Mexico. The police just don’t care at all

What’s it called?

[-] snowe@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

American Indians prefer to be called Indian, not Native American.

[-] snowe@programming.dev 13 points 10 months ago

That’s pretty much all American Indians. Their governmental orgs literally have Indian in their name. My wife does most of her work on a reservation and they all want to be called Indian, not Native American
