  • A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?

    Jump

  • I believe the problem is that people feel entitled to a job with a six-figure salary just because they paid for an expensive college education. College has this air of excellence.

    But then, reality sets in. Knowledge is nice, of course, but practical experience is key. You need to know how to act in the real world.

  • Have you actually watched the video? It wasn't exactly smooth sailing. It wasn't entirely positive.

  • Piefed/Lemmy/Fediverse: freedom from capitalist tyranny. True organic, human communities.

    Reddit is cyberpunk. It's a world governed by a corporation that acts as its government and only cares about its shareholders, not its citizens.

  • AMDVLK has been discontinued as AMD are throwing their "full support" behind RADV | GamingOnLinux

    Jump

  • Except Raytracing where AMDVLK exceeded. Hopefully, Raytracing will improve now that AMD will fully contribute to it.

  • Microsoft is testing full-screen Microsoft 365 ads in Windows 11 for expired subscriptions

  • I don't know why you're being downvoted but that's a legitimate reason. Unfortunately, Microsoft Office has a total monopoly of the office market so incompatibilities are bound to happen with alternative Office software.

  • sigh... This generation of games will all suck because of Unreal Engine 5. I'm a patient gamer, I have plenty of unplayed games on my Steam library. I will not upgrade my video card because of this horrendous game engine.

    Which stage are you at?

  • I'm running Manjaro since 2022 and it has been running smoothly. I guess I'm foolish...

  • Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned?

    Jump

  • Think of Reddit as Cyberpunk or Mirror's Edge: a world controlled by corporations instead of governments. A corporation only seeks its own interests and those of its shareholders. In that world, you're nothing. There's no transparency, and you don't have any rights.

    Lemmy instances on the other hand are run by the community and funded by donations. As such, the interests of the group as a whole prevail; they are not the interests of shareholders. To maintain cohesion, transparency is necessary, hence the modlog. Without transparency, cohesion and community cannot be maintained.

    Reddit and Lemmy are two completely different worlds.

  • I'm against it. We elected people to represent us. Let the experts deal with it.

    Case in point: Brexit. People were swayed to vote "yes" because they were told life would be great. Now, they regret their choice.

  • Why is this upvoted? It an ad for a company.

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • There could be multiple factors. For example, I have a Nextcloud instance that is fully managed by Hetzner, and I didn't bother to find out what database it uses...

  • Linux is a worldwide community project, and its source code is readily available. It's nonprofit. Proton is now a Swiss nonprofit organization without shareholders (https://proton.me/foundation). Nextcloud is an open-source project that you can host on your own server or in the cloud, which means you have total control over your information.

    These are nonprofit projects that don't seek to monetize from you because you're not the product.
