I’ve been a full time dev since 2012 and needed a Mac, I had barely used windows over that time but beforehand ran a PC service business.

Anyway, Ive been using Linux as a daily driver for the past 6 months for reasons.

… The other day I got a new cheap laptop I needed to setup for run a single application.

Holy fuck what a shitshow.

It took me 2 hours just to get to the desktop. Shit didn’t work, bullshit login screens, ads everywhere.

It was a massive pile of dog shit.

After battling to get the system setup for the rest of the day I gave up, chucked Fedora Kinoite On it… Took 30 minutes from creating boot media to getting a desktop going, chucked the app I needed to run in a Flatpack, chucked it on a USB, and it was up and running.

No bullshit.

Just works.

Truly the year of the Linux desktop.

Bullshit. Lasers have been intended to gain interplanetary superiority since the dawn of time. We just didnt know how to make them or that they could also be used to read music from a circle

I’m a fan of AI, I know that’s unpopular here but I think it’s a cool tool.

But you need to know what you are doing and how to program. I’ve said before we are going to see sooo much of this

The reality is we will always need engineers. Certainly not ready yet, but we probably won’t always need “programmers” - which is a shame because I do get a kick out of solving a really complex problem in a super elegant way

Sucked in!

Surprised they werent just stored as strings you could edit in a hex editor or something, but then I know nothing about fonts

That’s exactly what’s happening, this is all just so he can invoke the insurrection act and mobilize MAGA as the militia

A little bit ago it flew under the radar that he put into place that he could raise a militia if there was a revolution. Can’t remember the act, not an American citizen.

But around then it was said that he would start this and it could happen around April.

The thing is that the act has some funky wording and the militia need not be the national guard, and he can mobilize MAGA to act as the militia.

So that’s probably the next step.

I think sending him to cecot is chefs kiss

They used to make you pay $100/yr for an email address.

Not custom. Just an email address

A dog dressed up as a goose is about the best you can expect from a goose really

Nah yeah guests, reading that post again it was like I am an aneurysm

It was very pro heroin

I turn to preppy kitchen first for all my need to make something for company needs

Hey I feel attacked right now

First good goose story I have ever heard ever

Is that a coffee percolator fish tank?

Lol I own a distillery and this tracks

I have been deep down this road, and finally got it working, but there are so many graphical glitches it just became unusable.

My current setup is a windows VM I have running in a docker container that I remote desktop into.

Saying that now, I might be better off just using VirtualBox or the like because the input lag is a pain. Not a massive issue but it’s not the same as using it natively unfortunately.
