I was finally at a job where I could use Linux at work. Things were great for about a year and then BOOM we get acquired and the new company forces MacBooks on everyone.
I. Friggin. Hate. MacOS. The biggest pain point is the keyboard shortcuts, 15 years of Linux muscle memory…
My point is I can very much relate to having to use unproductive shit for work and the daily reminder of why it’s not on my personal devices
Oh wow, you’re right.
+1000. one of my coworkers keeps thinking he’s saving time with AI-generated code but what he’s really doing is pushing the thinking downstream when we have to pick apart the absolute garbage that gets generated.
PR feedback gets turned into AI prompts and the cycle continues. It’s exhausting
Yep, I’ve seen MS flight simulator fans basically create entire cockpits in their house with a crap tonne of screens for 180-degree vision and hook up all the 3rd party peripherals.
There’s just no way this will ever work seamlessly on Linux
I went to Derry and Giants Causeway after watching the Derry Girls TV show (“foreigners fookin’ love the Giants Causeway!”)
It wasn’t wrong, I greatly enjoyed my 3 days in Northern Ireland
I’d go to France again but Paris: never again
Huh, I’ve had work profile enabled for ~1.5 years and have never noticed this notification toggle. Thanks!
Sometimes things dont translate well to English. Like the common Indian surname Dikshit
What are you going to do, send them money? That information isn’t private, people have to give it up all the time to receive money…
“Don’t touch working code” stems from “last person who touched it, owns it” and there’s some shit that it’s just not worth your pay grade to own.
Particularly if you’re a contractor employed to work on something specific
The internet memes will have me believe that Germans are super anal about making sure that trash is correctly sorted.
Is there a bin for ewaste next to the glass, cans and plastic bins?
I will forever recognize the Baar Sophia font from the fansubs of Naruto which got me into anime in the first place
Ahh good ol’ Aegisub. I have great memories of subtitling anime in my late teens before I got a girlfriend and the fansub scene died when Crunchyroll took over.
I was also one of the people helping test Aegisub on Linux (2009-ish), I wasn’t a programmer at the time but I remember a dude called ‘verm’ in the IRC channel who did a bunch of work to make Aegisub stable on Linux. He taught me the difference between little endian and big endian, I guess he was bored that day
Im in the same boat and I regret buying NVIDIA.
I’m not a gamer but NVIDIA issues rear their head on Wayland mostly for things that need 3D rendering like Bambu Studio and even Electron apps like Slack, Spotify and VSCode.
Oh and also trying to get hardware video decoding working on Firefox is a pain. I’m now at the point where full screening a video just causes Firefox to immediately crash.
Definitely getting AMD next time but I’m a long ways off upgrading my NUC, it’s 8 core i7 with 64gb of ram so will serve my dev needs for a long time
No, it’s garbage because of its approach to case sensitivity.
It’s case insensitive by default (which is a WTF in itself and encourages the same laziness Windows users thrive on with NTFS) but it also has a case sensitive mode.
Except the case sensitive mode is almost entirely useless because of the amount of apps it breaks that assume the default case-insensitive mode. It also means that you as a programmer have to add extra crap to your file handling code for case insensitive string comparisons if you want to support both modes
The problem with using Vim is that you have to learn Vim, but early in my career I was in single-ecosystem shops that all used IDE’s for whatever tech (Microsoft= Visual Studio, Java = Eclipse / NetBeans, PHP = Sublime Text, arguably not an IDE)
By the time I got to the point in my career where I got to choose the tooling, VSCode was already a thing and it has an extension for anything you can think of.
So I never had to learn Vim, and now it’s in the too-hard basket, and VSCode is ubiquitous and works surprisingly well
Well I think this has been too much Internet for me today
Managers love yes-men so the more biased the better
American society says it a lot, the rest of us not so much.
To go to therapy, you have to believe in therapy. Males generally prefer to solve their own problems
Has that carrot been genetically modified?
*Inb4 all plants are genetically modified, I mean via gene editing and not selective breeding
