Yes, programming. But I live in the capitol of my country, I have never had this problem before. How will the commute to work look for me was even a part of my screening process

I don’t think many are advocating for mandated WFH, honestly. At least that isn’t what I’ve seen.

I do. 90% of job offers I see are "100% WFH, we don't even have an office". And I understand that, what's the point of renting office space if 2-3 people come in?
And in general this decoupling of jobs and location is good. You no longer need to think about which city to live in.

But in my case the current trend seems to start limiting my ability to choose

They're not my captive audience. If anything I more often listen than speak

In half a year of working from office (when it was finally possible) I've learned much more about what teams I don't cooperate directly with do, than in 2 years of WFH.
It's also a good way to understand what is going on in the company in general.
Some talks we had would not have happened online, as every message for sure stays saved in some form

How do you know that someone on slack is not busy ATM and is available to chat?
How do you deal with pings from slack discussion in some channel when you can't chat and have to focus on a meeting?

With WFH I'm additional at least 30 mins of commute from all places I'd just pick my stuff and go when working from the office.
And everyone is spread around the city making it hard to choose the venue we go to

I'm afraid you missed my point of the last paragraph

I'm not saying "let's all get back to the office". I'm saying "let's keep the offices too"

And I do have social structure outside of work. With WFH everyone is far away (offices are rather closer to the centre than the sleep districts) and have to commute before we can meet

I'm not a manager and I like working in the office. I like chatting up members of other teams in the kitchen. Being close to culture spots.
WFH was a hell to me and by the end of it I started developing depression-like symptoms.

I'm not defending RTO, the ability to say "I'll work from home next Wednesday because I have dentist appointment" is really great thing. But maybe let's not swing the other way and make it all 100% WFH, shall we?

"API change is not a big deal, look how many people logged in last week"

Gnome is quite heavy, before you succumb to the void of choosing the best prompt format, try some other, lighter WMs. I like Fluxbox very much; XFCE is lighter than Gnome/KDE but still similar; i3 is also lightweight.
I guess there might be some light Firefox forks, or maybe even go back to iceweasel?

As for command line, check out:

• tmux
• zsh (it's completion mechanisms are imo better than bash)
• mc
• how to define your shortcuts as functions inside every login shell, instead of using aliases which are easier but have limitations

Btw, slackware still maintains x32
And there's also arch32

autosuggest commands from PATH and autocomplete directories

I think you might have autocompletion disabled. I have these features in my zsh

Only if from a green bottle

Well, using IPA instead of water would probably be a better idea in the first place. But beggars can't be choosers, I guess ;)

Well, if it's completely dry before plugging in, it can definitely get rid of dirt. On hot surfaces it sometimes gets baked in and compressed air is too little

Just put it in rice afterwards /meme

lemmy.world has a favicon but it seems that currently it's too large

Ah. So it's not an observation but precaution :)

I don't think you need to do this but if you want to follow through, my idea would be:

1. on the main page mark the "subscribed communities", right click and "show source of selection"
2. the communities listed there are linked as href="/c/something" so you probably need to pass it through some regex
3. use "open multiple urls" addon (Firefox, Chrome)
4. go one by one and resubscribe

I meant: do you observe such behavior? Because it's contrary to my experience but maybe I just did not notice

I haven't been dual booting for some time now but I think this should help you put Windows on the menu in GRUB.

Linux, Mint at least, feels incomplete, sort of like a tech demo, with extremely limited support for anything that wasn’t directly intended by the developers. The concept of having to compile something yourself is basically foreign to me

Usually Linux installation is only the the base system (in case of Mint much more than that, since it installs X/Wayland and a DM by default) because there's no point in installing everything. Packages of a distro offer much more than Windows. The idea is that after you have your system up, you can install the software you want.
In Mint and being new, I think you shouldn't need to compile anything.
Package manager is the support you are looking for

having to basically rely on a built-in app database/store to easily install apps… Kinda stinks to me, and not being able to simply download an installer from a website

Thing is, this is not a store. This is not a place that random people put stuff. Distro package manager is the place where people that maintain the distribution (compile things for you in a way that will work with libraries from the other packages in the repo) put the packages and define what needs what.
Interesting part is that I feel exactly the other way round. If package comes from the repo, then this is something official. If I'm looking for ssh client, I type a package manager search for ssh and I know that packages downloaded this way should just work. While in Windows I always have a small panic attack that I'm downloading something shady when putty page has an address like it has

Is this really needed? I had a feeling that even though the community shows "pending", the posts and comments still appear. Am I mistaken?

Kowalski, can you hear me? Do you hear me, Kowalski? Now, I know you can hear me, Kowalski. I'm sure you hear me now. This very minute. Now, you listen very carefully. The whole mobile force of the Nevada State Highway Patrol is after you. They waitin' for you to come up for air. Yeah. Now, some people imagine you'll try to get to California through Death Valley. And others bet you'll die there in the desert. These few are just too happy to see you vanish for good out there. But my tape deck is just as jammed with telegrams as my head is jammed with phone calls from people who are wishing you well in your getaway, no matter where it might lead you

I tried recently and it doesn't work for me too (AMD). I get black screen. SMAA is fine, though

Beam? What happened to the fibre? Is light that slower in a fibre cable?
