@term99 you around?
term99
i am, whats up StormyCloud?
StormyCloud
Wanted to touch base and see how that i2p+ install script was coming along?
term99
i'm working on the reboot stage of it after upgrade, im just having to make sure i don't run into errors and if i do i gotta get error corrections going so it can do it with minimal work, i also have the perl script written to make it threaded so it can process many servers at a time
StormyCloud
roger that, lmk if you need any beta testers :P Looking to move away from i2pd on my tor exit nodes and move over to i2p+
term99

term99: I attended a friend's wedding years ago. One of the gifts they received was a $25 check from a guest. Weeks later he tells that check bounced - and he was charged more than $100 in fees by his bank. The perfect gift ;p
term99

In solidarity with Canadian brothers and sisters I now proclaim myself a "software engineer"
ReturningNovice
Please everyone join me!
AmyMalik
ReturningNovice: sup?
ReturningNovice
aloha Amy
ReturningNovice
it seems regulators in Canada are trying to stop people from claiming the title of "software engineer" unless they pay for licenses
AmyMalik
jesus XD
ReturningNovice
specificly in Alberta
ReturningNovice
so, I suggest, if you have ever changed a setting in a software configuration that you claim the title.
AmyMalik
I have to do some rapid prototyping when i get home from insuring my car.
ReturningNovice
yes that includes using the configuration settings in a gui interface.
ReturningNovice
I added a plugin to Firefox, therefore I am an engineer.
ReturningNovice
I typed my email address into the configuration for thunderbird, therefore I am an engineer.
AmyMalik
to me, the licence doesn't make the engineer - the attitude of engineering does
AmyMalik
you do not display that
ReturningNovice
I changed my favorite app to dark mode setting, therefore I am an engineer.
ReturningNovice
Hah!
AmyMalik
I fancy myself a perpetual software engineering student-practitioner, not an engineer per se.
ReturningNovice
I'm trying to lower the bar, do get the beurocrats off their back. but if you agree with having to pay a license to call oneself an engineer, then I agree we dissagree about this
AmyMalik
to be clear, I disagree with ABgov here.
AmyMalik
To me, if you display the attributes ef engineering in your work, you should be able to forward yourself as an engineer in your line of work without a special licence to do so.
ReturningNovice
I agree with that
AmyMalik
If your work requires a licence for unrelated reasons, then a licence you shall need to obtain - but not only for engineering.
ReturningNovice
and that is why I say blow up their definition. Let everyone claim the title and rub it in their face!
