Previous job. They sold off our main product in one industry so they could focus on the more demanding other product for another industry. The first product end users actually wanted. The second product, end users did not want it, but the manufacturers did... because it gave them all that wonderful spying on you data to sell. Then the company died during the shutdowns. The stupid apps they gave people didn't entice anyone to use them.
Which is why it's just not worth pursuing gaming on Linux at all, and people who try, just end up complaining when it goes badly, hurting Linux... when it was never Linux's fault.
Matchmaker, matchmaker, boot me a flash.
Find it with "find".
Batch me a batch.
Matchmaker, matchmaker see the O'Reilly book,
And make me a perfect match...
Not really. I'm the type of liberal who was raised a republican. Taught how to hate by republican parents. Taught how as a white Christian conservative, I was somehow a victim because someone said Happy Holiday's instead of Merry Christmas. Told that gays getting married was again victimizing me, because it's against their version of God. Told by conservative republican parents that seat belt laws were taking my rights away. Taught that corporal punishment is correct parenting, etc etc.
Then, seeing the real world, and getting exposed to multiple cultures, countries, and faiths, and people of all kinds I discover... huh... Conservatives really are just assholes. So over time, issue by issue, I became a liberal Democrat. But you know what didn't change? Knowing how to hate. Republicans and the church taught me that. Being an asshole and liking to see some people suffer. Republicans and the church taught me that.
Congratulations conservatives! You created a Democrat who can both hate and be an asshole like you! Only now, all conservatives are the target of those skills. I hate you like you hate the LGBTQ+ community, like you hate minorities, like you hate the poor, like you hate equal rights, like you hate democracy. That makes the asshole you bastards formed me into want to see you forced into doing the things that decent human beings would do.
Buckle up, MF'ers
Support minorities equal rights
Support LGBTQ+ equal rights
Vaccinate yourselves for the good of everyone
Learn the history of white oppression on every type of minority
Be pro union
Fund your dang schools
And more. And if we have to drag you to a prison cell and reprogram your fricken brains to make you into decent human beings, then I say do it! Because you republican / conservative / christo-fascist a-holes have it coming. The only extinction I want is that of conservatism / fascism, if only so you stop hurting everyone else.
In more recent posts we learn this person wishes to lock their bedroom door and sneak internet into their room, yet they are allowed to use the internet in main areas of the house. This sounds far less narcissistic then it is concerned parents.
This post combined with your new post about not being allowed internet access in your bedroom hints at a different story than a narcissistic parent. The fact that you aren't willing to use the computer in the public spaces in the house and want to sneak access back into your bedroom says your parents fear inappropriate use of the computer, whatever that may be. And if she comes in and is hanging out in your room, it's not to annoy you, its because she's scanning everything in the room for signs of stuff they think you shouldn't be doing or shouldn't have.
This isn't to say you did something to provoke suspicion, some parents are really conservative and just suspect kids are up to trouble. But trying to get a better way to lock the door combined with trying to sneak internet into your room gives off alarm bells to parents.
Be aware, most corporate environments running Linux or a UNIX will be using POSIX compliant (or mostly compliant) shells. Fish is fun, but if you aren't comfortable with bash, dash, zsh, and/or AT&T ksh, your time ramping up to supporting the systems will take a lot longer.
Same for those python shells. Handy as hell, but not widely deployed around businesses. So you'd need to be on point with real python skills and POSIX style shells.
If you aren't using, or don't intend to, do any of this for corporate jobs, then sky's the limit and have fun. This is not to say you can't find these in a job somewhere, just that it won't be very common.
In enterprise environments, companies control a set of proxy repositories and whitelist/blacklist packages.
If you’re a dev and need a specific package (or set of packages) that aren’t listed, then you can request it through a ticket.
That's fine for Windows desktops, Mac desktops, and Linux servers... but the advantage of a Linux Desktop is allowing a dev to customize the desktop and packages to what is most efficient for their use. Sure, you can do this to a Linux Desktop, but who would want to work on that? If you take that advantage away from a Linux desktop user, they would benefit more from software compatibility that comes with Windows or Mac. A locked down Linux Desktop has the same problems of limiting the dev from customizing it to match their most productive workflow, combined with no native MS Office apps, no Adobe apps, and more. That's a double whammy to your user.
If you aren't letting people install packages and customize the environment, you don't need Linux for desktops. Give them a locked down Mac, instead. You can do it on Linux, but it defeats the purpose. You're devs would hate it.
./ and . Are two different things to your shell
