When one of my employers did propose that I bought managment cheap baby monitors. The effect was like a ice cold shower.

The circle of shite. Honestly though it's how internet worked for decades and big players got big headed about their importance. Importance only goes if there is no viable alternative.

Yeah, let's use a computationally heavy task that contributes to burning coal and gas releasing CO2 into the atmosphere to reduce a slight fraction in emission so we could pat ourselves on the back.

And now everybody screams that Putin is bad.

Then blame shifts to the little guy being the scape goat. I mean it already happens in corrupt countries.

Well, then sin(x) = x if x is infinitely small

What? So putting your willy in a pig on camera is totally fine while you do it ironically? Why and how would any reasonable human being decide what the purpouse of a photograph of sex with animals is? Have furries been overstepping the law the whole time?

And more US police officers die on duty due to more citizens willing to kill law enforcement officers.

Goverment is corrupt. Solution - more goverment. Give me a brake.

Not all server executables for video games are avaliable on linux for example. There is a lot of use cases and just saying "you just need X" is somewhat of an ignorant statement. No, I don't.

Backing up entire VMs with all the configuration in case an update breaks something or just bricks your server is a smart idea aswell as running stuff in containers. Also, 4GB per VM? Besides sometimes you need to run software that is not avaliable on linux.

It's baffling for me living in Russia that modern western societies see everything wrong with dictatorship from a goverment but nothing or almost nothing wrong with dictatorship from big capital. E.g. you can't change your break pads unless you go to authorized repair (literal control over your private property and how you use it) and big platforms banning you from multiple public forums because you said a big no-no word (deplatforming and cross-platform restrictions are a thing)

Sure. But the lubricant they use usually contains antibiotics. Go figure.

You have demonstrated exactly the point I am making.

Does every single website that exists and is available in UK automatically provides services in UK? Isn't it just simpler to completely block every request from UK by default to "not provide services"?

It baffles me how much political every aspect of life has become. We can't just talk about things and hold genuine discussion. It always boils down to "us vs. them" standpoint.

It's almost like theese two should not collide in any context from either side...

Exceptionally good. Sometimes I even think it's worth it. Need a specific statement or a document - here you have it in PDF in 2 minutes in an android app with somewhat decent usability.

The only saving grace for us is incompetence. Tyrannies breed incopmetence in goverments since competent people are able to ask troubluing questions. At least I hope so.

Old goalpost ---> New goalpost.

The goverment has just revoked your speech license. Please upstain from public talking to more than three people.

I think it has wrong perspective culling. Seems like the rays are not properly clipped in the view plane so it appears like the view has a "fish eye" effect.

Problem solving isn't a binary thing either. You are not just capable of solving problems on the spot or not. Different people have different approaches on the same problem under different conditions. Interview is not one of the things that really shows your problem solving skills rather your skills to solve arbitrary dumb problems right there on the spot.

I've quit several interviews because of these particular questions since they are simply wasting my time and not testing my "skills".

I come to the interview to get a real job not to please the smart "gotcha!" recruiter.

I think you overestimate how much people don't really care what OS they are using and familiar with. For non-expierienced people Linux will look as exactly the same black box as the previous one. It is bad for intermediate users that are familiar with the system but not enough to be an administrator.

Sounds like advertisement is something that people usually don't want to see or click on. I wonder why?

This is borderline trolling. "Candy Crush Saga" or Netflix is on the right side tabs right at the menu on a fresh install. I did install 22H2 a month ago and saw this atrocity. You are simply mistaken. Also News that I don't really care or wish to see.

Ah, the average Joe that was doing approximately that about 10 years ago on Windows 7 via UI (which linux distros also provide) and wasn't really complaining about it in the process. What changed?

I've been on T14 Gen 3 and E14 Gen 3 for quite some time and hadn't had a single issue you describing. Even running a UHD screen through Type-C and using fingerprint to authorize after powerdown (a thing MacOS and Windows can't really do). Care to share what distro and kernel you are using?

Hey, how about next time I need important updates I will install them manually issuing a simple command like "apt update && apt upgrade" or "pacman -Suy", or whatever else is there? And on top of that reboot my home computer on my own schedule and when I have convenient time to do so. And even gasp not updating my OS with important security updates if I choose so! Bottom line, screw Windows with its updates. Why it is so if I own the hardware and turn it off and on whenever I want I can't do the same with my software?

My personal KDE looks and operates nothing like Windows and more copies the MacOS workflow (although I am not a Mac user at all). GNOME is not that much customizable and it is the main reason I stick to KDE. Also, quite stable. I do rarely have any issues to be honest and it usually is Latte that has bugs but it is in the state maintaining limbo for a while now.
