Simple, you don't. Not every application has secrets that need to be stored on someone else's computer.
Phase it in slowly, make it a joint standard, that is a minimum requirement for compatibility. Have a planned upgrade path, and mandate backwards compatibility for 2 generations.

Most of my male colleagues and myself included also hate the industry because the pay sucks, the hours are long, you are expected to do impossible things in impossible amounts of time, and we are so removed from the end users that it’s hard to get an idea of the impact we are having on their day to day grind.

It may have something to do with the local scene as well, as I’m pretty confident that not all workplaces are like that, it wasn’t at all like that where I was before.

That being said I find anonymously contributing code to open source projects rewarding enough to offset the daily grind.

“Why won’t they believe everything we shove in their face?” The article.

I don’t think the notion of official account is even possible? Generally accepted account? Sure.

Looks pretty neat, I’m a bit of a digital nomad. If there was something like this I could run off my phone I’d be quids in.

I use archiso and a number of custom PKGBUILD files to configure all my gear, boot into it as a live ISO and if I need additional packages I install them as I need in the live session (normally I keep an executable README.md that installs every thing I need in the package root) if there’s anything I want to keep config wise I merge it into the package that preps /etc/skel/ for the next build.
