I agree, but I don’t want to use one until an open source one exists.

People using the term ‘subroutine’ like it’s 1976

Where on the chart does studying spec sheets and writting rasterization algorithms in c fall?

But what if… I took Debian, and disguised it as my own distro? Ho ho ho! Delightfuly devilish, Seymore!

You can’t expect me to remember the right words for things while studying for engineering finals

It’s nice when memes are drawn completely from scratch like this. It gives just a little validation to this silly scrolling we all do everyday.

glad to hear you’re not having issues. Wish we could all be so fortunate.

Nvidia hardware is great for anything besides gaming/daily driving. I use my nvidia card all the time for re-encoding large video files in h264. As soon as I can afford an amd though, video encoding will become the only thing I use nvidia for.

Counterpoint: why should the standard for “just works” mean no CLI? What if distro maintainers decide that their user’s experience is improved by relegating some tasks to the shell?

Thanks for reminding me that the DS9 box set is a high priority on my ripping list

Solution: install windows for them, but complain and evangelize at every opportunity. You’ll be so insufferable they’ll never ask you again.

I only use flatpack when I need the most up to date version of a software for whatever reason.

While AMD is certainly better than the alternatives when it comes to device compatibility, we’re still missing an open multi-platform cross-architecture compile-time standard (like a “C for graphics programing.”). So long as that remains the case, the graphics market will continue to have a number of artificial barriers to entry that favor Microsoft Windows.

They clearly don’t consider their human capital to be all that important if they’re relagating hiring to ai. Take it as a signal that your value is too high for this company. Chaces are they would prefer to hire 2 year grads or bootcampers over experienced engineers.

Welll first you draw this head…

you know, I’m begining to think this whole “readiness” idea is completely arbitrary. The same people who today complain about linux’s supposed difficulty, were just fine using their home micro-computer in the 80’s. If you ask me, the only people who are defining what “ready” means, is Microsoft’s marketing department.

This meme just threatened to undo the last 3 years of daily driving linux, by making me consider going back to windows

I know it’s a meme, but I’ve never had this happen to me. What causes this?

Managers hoping genAI will cause the skill requirements (and paycheck demand) of developers to plummet:

Also managers when their workforce are filled with buffoons:

This is such a non-issue
