  • It was a default for so long that people just got used to the feel of it and its "ecosystem" if you can call it that.

    I use Win at home and at work as my main desktop, because of familiarity, the apps I got used to and because I just don't feel comfortable with any Linux UI. I get annoyed when the Win UI gets even slightly changed between OS versions, so imagine how it would be for me just switching to Linux. I have a dual boot, but the Linux partitions always gather dust no matter the distro.

    But I wouldn't touch a Windows server. I'm apt with the Linux on work servers, my home server, RaspberryPi and routers. It feeels like having swiss army knives and I feel at home in a command line.

    This doesn't make me a fanboy, but I do get raised eyebrows from co-workers.

  • We already have "Three-Body", a recent chinese production series from 2023. 30 episodes, tedious to watch, but ok quality. So no thanks, Netflix.

  • Limp Bizkit Rollin?! But that's Nu Metal

  • The Dresden Dolls - Coin-Operated Boy

  • Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face

  • Is Keepass there? Good. Upvote.

  • Ave Caesar! We attack at midnight.

  • Unique style paintings will become even more valuable in the future. Generative AI only spews "art" based on previous styles it learned / was trained on. Everything will be even more rehashed than it is today (nod to Everything is a Remix). Having a painting made by an actual human hand on your wall will be more ego-boosting than an AI generated one.

    Sure, for general digital art (ie logos, game character design, etc) when uniqueness isn't really mandatory, AI is a good, very cheap tool.

    As for the "everyone becomes a programmer" part... naah.

  • Turris Omnia. Powerful hardware, auto updates, config backup / restore (with anti-bricking feature), SIM slot, etc

  • Generally, you aren't allowed by law an official managing position without a college degree, that's true. But that would reflect on the job title, not pay or benefits. In my company, if you're good, you'll be acknowledged.

  • Depends on the field. For example, in IT, competence can be tested. Especially when a large percent of job positions aren't filled with people that got a degree in that field. I have dev colleagues with psychology degrees and whatnot and one that only finished highschool, that are better programmers than others I know that do have an IT college degree. Good programmers are hard to come by, and the main aspect that makes you one isn't a college degree at all.
