they’re cheap fucks.
This is also the issue with most tech job postings. I got this one job offer, entirely unsolicited from my end, to move across the country to Manitoba to a small town. They were going to offer up to $5000 moving costs. And the job was for a full stack developer. The salary? $42k Canadian.
I emailed them back telling them in blunt terms that their offer is insulting and far too low for any developer role.
Oh really? I have Bazzite on my TV laptop. Perfect way to try it. Thanks!
How did you get it running? I’ve tried compiling it on a fresh Arch and fresh Ubuntu 22.04 install and the compiler breaks halfway through.
I only spent about 10 or so minutes each time trying to fix it and moved on.
I thought that guy AL Jippity was just doing a ton of work. Like a 10,000x dev.
Uh-oh. I have three monitors, and one of them is a 43" 4k TV.
No. Just some weird guy in a trench coat behind a Giant Tiger offered me some white-ish looking pills. I woke up the next day with half my head shaved and my wallet was missing.
You guys were offered a blue pill???
That’s horrible! If people do that how will companies gouge customers?
Plus it’s a backup location for stuff I simply can’t lose
It’s not a backup. You’re using “cloud storage”.
I just want you to understand that, because Microsoft’s online storage is not somewhere I would entrust with precious data.
I love little mistakes like that
I didn’t even catch that the first time. But what should we expect from garbage software?
Games were once created by gamers
This is the biggest issue. I tend to focus on Indie games lately. There’s the odd bigger game that I’ll pay for, but they are few and far between.
It even uploads all your files and deletes the local copies for you!
am i the weird one here for only putting effort into services i have other users for or actually enjoy doing?
Absolutely not.
Saying the chance of something going sideways is smaller than on Windows isn’t saying much
True. I’ll grant you that.
I’ll pick a distro that’s stable by default
Arch isn’t “unstable” by any means. I’ve been running Arch EndeavourOS as my desktop distro that I develop on for years and it’s entirely reliable. Now I personally wouldn’t run Arch on any of my distros (I go with either Debian or NixOS), but there are people who do it and it works fine.
Edit: I said “Arch” but I meant EndeavourOS, which is Arch with some QoL improvements.
But if my client is angry and my boss is breathing down my neck, and I can’t work because a thing isn’t thing-a’lating, a support path is essential.
Arch is still stable enough for that. The chances of something going sideways is smaller on Arch than on Windows. And unless you’re a medium to large company paying Microsoft for enterprise support, you’re going to be stuck with forums for community help with Windows.
Arch is incredibly stable. The old meme about it needing constant attention hasn’t been true for at least a decade now.
Febranber. Those who know, remember.
But it’s still Windows.
Doesn’t matter how much hot sauce and cinnamon you dunno on to a turd, it’s still a turd.
