Both of your implications there are false.
HELL, while you idiots were sleeping the entire rest of the world (minus Apple) warmed up to the idea of remote desktop technology. If you are bound and determined to gut that, then you are giving Linux a competitive disadvantage and setting it back 20 years.
Certs can be useful in terms of learning the jargon of your particular product. Some of the trivia you learn may even be useful in practical terms or for answering interview questions.
But no company worth working for will place any value in the associated bit of paper.
That's just nonsense. Once I own something, the person that sold it to me should have no say in how I use it. That's just depriving me of MY personal property RIGHTS. As long as I don't distribute anything, I should be free and clear based on the current laws.
No. The courts are creating new rights for corporations that didn't really ever exist.
Except copyright is not a free market. It's a state sanctioned monopoly. Of course it's going to have some of the defects of a monopoly. The trust in question may or may not realize this and adapt to the situation. They don't have to really. The monopoly they have insulates them somewhat from market pressure.
The harm you do to someone you pass a fake bill to is not imaginary. It's actually trivially easy to assess on a pure tort basis.
There are some crimes that society decides should come with medieval and draconian penalties. The idea that even commercial copyright infringement belongs in that category is dubious at best.
No it isn't. Real and personal property can exist in a fixed place and time. It can only be owned, used, or possessed by one person at a time and deprivation of it is a real rather than theoretical harm.
It's also often quite easy to establish ownership of a physical thing where there is no such easy method for "ideas" or copies "art".
Furthermore, content cartels are unable or unwilling to assign any kind of real damages to any incident of infringement. This is further muddled by the fact that these "assets" have no official valuation of any kind.
There's really no way to really judge this kind of "crime" against anything else. The "victims" do their best to avoid disclosing the necessary information.
It sounds like she's being dishonest with herself about how she manages to get paid. Even very butch female professionals that otherwise don't have a glamourous bone in their body will use their gender to their advantage.
There's something to be said for the simplicity of old school procedural languages. In some places, such languages are even still relevant. It's not always all about the new shiny shiny.
Not everyone in IT even needs a STEM degree. A lot of position are more about soft skills anyways. There are also people who thrive in tech positions without a STEM degree.
I even know someone that managed to get promoted into IT off of a factory floor.
This is more about the consequences of large corporations treating their employees like disposable cogs to be laid off by the "Two Bobs" guy during the next business lull. They are no longer wiling to invest in their own people, even the ones that have gone to great effort and expense to be desirable as new hires.
You don't have to be terribly talented to be a tech worker in the large companies. Actually, it helps if you're not.
Except it isn't one set of browser code. You still have to account for platform differences. If you aren't aware of this, I really doubt that you are in this part of the business.
Plus it's not just the new shiny shiny.
You have to deal with everyone's past mistakes. This is especially true in non-consumer settings. There's probably even a lot of consumers stuck on older versions due to various motivations to not upgrade.
Then there are your mobile devices (with their own quirks and way of doing things) and mobile networks (with all of their limitations).
Again. I don't think you are in any part of the business.
You might not be allergic to wheat but to bromates. This is an unlabeled food additive in the US that is banned in the EU. These are plenty of these little landmines that aren't a problem for everyone but a bother for some of us.
An ingredient doesn't need to be causing mass casualties to be a problem.
That's a regarded pro-corporate argument that would have had a number of food ingredients excluded from food labeling that later became known as harmful.
HELL, it's not even just GMOs. There are still additives banned in other countries that remain in US products and are hidden (excluded from the label).
Liberal weenies love to crow about Obamacare but all it really did was to provide corporate welfare for the insurance industry. It didn't actually provide care. It didn't even make health insurance terribly affordable. It certainly didn't improve deductibles and other out of pocket expenses.
Insurance is not "health care". I cheap or free clinic is health care.
So how is this person like a defense attorney exactly?
Scum has the right to be defended in a court of law by a lawyer. That's a bit different than making yourself look like you are participating in their crimes. Although even mob lawyers can run afoul of the law.
If you go out of your way to put yourself in view of law enforcement, they will pay attention to you. No amount of clueless non-lawyer whining will change that.
Holding the country liable because it's a government entity may be difficult. On the other hand, when you deprive hicks in the sticks a legal means of recourse, they tend to get violent. The real life version of the Dukes aren't above setting fire to a nursing home insulated from their misdeeds by tort reform.
Well, that just goes back to one of my points that the Game industry is just the tip of the tail of the dog here. This stuff starts with Madison Avenue and "feminist" glamour magazines.
Even women don't want to watch ugly girls.
They aren't any better about this stuff than guys are.

This sort of thing has been supported quite possibly since before you were born.
That's the thing about something that's "old and icky" and not "new shiny shiny".

That probably doesn't keep SJWs from whining that there aren't enough women employed at Microsoft in IT.
You could poach the available talent pool AND all of the current college students and still come up short.
You bring outsourced services back in house and run your own servers on your own network rather than paying someone else in Timbuktu to do it for you.

In terms of the broader points, food is indeed already required to be labeled sufficiently well to determine basic kosher-ness.
You might not be allergic to wheat but to bromates. This is an unlabeled food additive in the US that is banned in the EU. These are plenty of these little landmines that aren't a problem for everyone but a bother for some of us.
An ingredient doesn't need to be causing mass casualties to be a problem.
That is completely irrelevant to the issue of product labeling.
Actually, such labeling HELPS rather than hinders the Ayn Rand cult member that wants to be Monsanto's guinea pig.
That's a regarded pro-corporate argument that would have had a number of food ingredients excluded from food labeling that later became known as harmful.
HELL, it's not even just GMOs. There are still additives banned in other countries that remain in US products and are hidden (excluded from the label).
No. Everything I eat is not "GMO".
Not everything I eat strips individuals of their personal property rights and grants them to large corporations.
Nope. I am sure he would feel the same way about Democrat tax dodgers too. I do.
Liberal weenies love to crow about Obamacare but all it really did was to provide corporate welfare for the insurance industry. It didn't actually provide care. It didn't even make health insurance terribly affordable. It certainly didn't improve deductibles and other out of pocket expenses.

None of the criminals among my circle of family or acquaintences were active or under investigation when I interacted with them.
Avoiding the active criminals is a good way to avoid being caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Never mind being hassled by customs.
