My personal takes which im sure will be contentious. Not sure what “this generation” pertains to btw A) Were just more open about despising working so the most efficient way to get there with the least effort is the best way B) No money, no relationships, no hope for future, why bother with anything else C) anyone at any point can just become an Op and what you do could be immortalized on the internet forever and i hate to be that guy If you aren’t a white dude then that could he particularly dangerous.

Many of us do ask lots of questions but they’re more like, “Why am i trapped by a government that doesnt care about its constituents and when i try to help other people they tell me im an idiot and I chose the wrong guy snd their guy is better?” Or “Hmm will I ever buy a house?” Or “Wow im getting somewhat older will my friends ever be able to not live with their parents?”

I thought you were going to go with the random passerby just yoinking your phone

That’s like my whole point. Any apps not on the App Store are much more likely to have a native Linux version already or be specific to macOS in a way that wouldn’t be useful on Linux so why would I care about macOS program support? I’d only want it for something like logic for example or I’d just use all Linux packaged stuff.

Even if this pans out which would be pretty interesting I guess, what’s even the point? I’m assuming you wouldn’t be able to acess the App Store and I honestly doing know that many programs that run on macOS and not Linux that would be useful in Linux that aren’t in the App Store.

Um don’t they know that the jester is the one in the court who tells the truth?

I really liked Toronto when I visited, I almost want to move there but finding a tech job there seems tough as a noncitizen

Personally the only laptop I’d be interested in that isn’t a MacBook is the Framework 13 pro but those ram prices are rough.

Also hopefully steam controller on native Wayland proton. Having no back buttons sucks

Doesn’t game have vanguard? Kinda makes offline feel a bit useless. Also yah know Linux :sadge:

I have to for work, most of my job is in the cloud but I still find myself going “fucking windows goddamn shitty operating system” every once in a while. And man when I do have to use powershell damn is that shit ass

Based on what I assume is an AI image there’s a lot of slop involved in this? If so I can’t say I’m particularly excited.

Where’s my love interest? Why is everything setup to be so shitty in terms of geopolitics and the economy and such? And finally, the viewers better be laughing at my jokes at least.

I very much appreciate the advice. Definitely do dread going in, I’m constantly bounced between bored out of my mind and insane sprints, partially because I’m competent and the way things are organized there’s no one really strongly pushing back against short deadlines on my team, but it’s also partially because we don’t get a choice often either due to data migrations or what not. I fear my motivation and talent will be crushed if I stay here too long. Unfortunately I also lack the perspective of a different job/environment to know what to appreciate about where I’m at.

I hope so too, I guess we’ll see. Maybe I should get a new job.

I long for retirement (I’ve just started my career)

I personally really hate web apps and would rather have native apps for everything. Even some apps that feel off UI wise I find annoying but better than website. And yes I’m an Apple/Gnome user so I guess that makes sense…

How do you see downvotes? Is it a feature of your app?

Edit nvm I guess I never even checked to see if that was an option lmao

Ah thanks, so this is essentially another step in having the full chain open source, that’s pretty cool.

Open source firmware seems good from a security perspective, motherboard manufacturers seem to really suck balls. Could someone more knowledgeable about core boot explain it a bit to me if they’re willing? I don’t know too much about it besides I think I remember hearing framework uses it?

You’re probably right. I do wonder though if you could become a billionaire and outweigh the harm you have to do to become one once you achieve that marker but it’s certainly a tough question. Especially with no guarantee you’ll even make it to that height then you could become essentially evil for nothing. Plus who’s to say you don’t lose yourself in the process. The difference between a multimillionaire and a billionaire is certainly quite vast.
