"go down like Reddit did" ... But did Reddit "go down"? It definitely lost users and content quality dropped, but still, everyone I talk to (that isn't a total nerd like us lemmings) still uses Reddit and has no idea what Lemmy is.

I forget who and I'm too lazy to search, but a company just announced a recurring $10,000/month donation to Godot. A few others are donating too. So they do have some monetary support!

Do you really think she just sat there and willingly watched her vagina boil?
Also, she was wearing jeans, so you're just making shit up.
And have you seen pictures? They're horrendous. I'll assume you have already, since you're an expert on this incident, but in case you haven't, here you go (very NSFW)...

I don't understand the "it's complicated" thing. Figuring out which instance to use was slightly confusing (I went with lemmy.world because it seemed to be the most popular at the time), but after that, it's no more complicated than Reddit or any other social media site. Am I missing anything?

Yeah. I introduced my wife to Reddit (she knew of it but didn't use it until I kinda showed her how great it is (was)). Now her family and friends use it too. They all heard about the drama but didn't seem to care or understand and they all still use Reddit.

Career advice for someone trying to move away from web / software development.
Salesforce e-commerce is horrendous.
Your interesting fields... AI, ML, Data Science, etc, seem amazing on paper and in the movies, but a) it takes an incredible amount of dedication to master and b) in the real world, it's monotonous, repetitive and frustrating work.
Cybersecurity sounds like the matrix or the movie Hackers, but in real life is incredibly complex, technical, not "exciting" by any means.
The entire industry sounds incredible. But it's a lot of work, takes a lot of dedication, and is more boring than you'd think.
All of the above also has a very steep learning curve. That doesn't help.
I'd say get into front end web, but you said you don't have any interest. Have you tried React or similar front end web stuff? I'd say it has a less steep learning curve and it's rewarding seeing the UI you build in real time. Maybe try it out?
I think the issue is that the entire industry is kind of over hyped and Hollywood-izd. It sounds cooler than it is. And it's very complex. Try to get into something that sounds interesting and hope you enjoy it.

If trump is nominated, I think the probability of trump being elected to the presidency is zero, or it will be zero when election day rolls around.
I said the same thing in 2016
