  • Job market seems terrible right now, especially if you're just starting out. Had a friend that applied to ~100 jobs in tech, and a majority of them didn't even reply back.

    But the same can be said about bad HR as well. How many hiring teams have no idea what a candidate is supposed to be doing?

  • Wow, some of the comments on that article saying Google should have made Android closed source are mindboggling. They realize they never would have had their current worldwide marketshare if they did that, no?

    But maybe if they did, we would have had more people working on true linux phones 🤔 I'm a bit torn on this one haha.

  • The Framework 13 inch model should be plenty, especially if you want to dev on the go. Much more lightweight and smaller, and you can connect it to external monitors if the screen size is not big enough. Also, you shouldn't have issues running Linux on either laptops.

    Instead of going for the 16 version, I would use the extra 900-1000 euros (that's the amount I saw I could save between the two almost maxed-out models) to make a dedicated server or mini-cluster to run your workloads. Deploy Kubernetes or Proxmox on it, and you'll also get some more practice on it outside work if you want to run stuff for your home lab. That is only if you don't want to game on your laptop, but I'd still put that money aside to make a desktop.

  • He's the chosen one, of course it's supposed to look like that!

  • Cheats nowadays don't even need to run on your machine. You can get a second computer that is connected to your computer via a capture card, analyze your video feed with an AI and send mouse commands wirelessly from it (mimicking the signal for your USB receiver).

    These anti-cheats are nothing more than privacy invasion, and any game maker that believes they have the upper hand on people that want to cheat are very wrong.

    Opening up anti-cheat support for Linux would at least make them more creative at finding these people from their behaviour, and not from analysing everything that's running in the background.

  • It's amazing that Linux gaming is becoming a thing that's better sometimes than Windows gaming (minus the getting banned part in some games). I also like that AMD is making some big pushes on open source drivers, plus their ROCm open-source alternative to CUDA.

    This is a great time for Linux users! :)

  • Same. It sucks that most banks wouldn't jump on this train :(

  • What a stupid article. It's like saying "stop using electric vehicles because you can't use gas stations". I don't understand why he's so adamant about this? It's not like Wayland had about 20 years of extra time to develop like X11. People keep working on it, and it takes time to polish things.

  • Sooooo tinyyyy 🥺

  • If I understand correctly, this would just provide the binary for paru without really making it accessible to the user, no?

    In the end, I just decided to copy all my dotfiles to /home/user and running an additional script after reboot. For some reason, if you try to arch-chroot and install it tries to build everything as root (even after providing "-u user" to arch-chroot).

  • If it's really warm, you can't really blame her. It's just a brief period during the year when she'll be like this, so what's the harm? Not sure where you live, but I'd wear nothing but my underwear where I am right now.

    I'd say the best course of action would be to say nothing and just ignore it. If my step father would say something like that to me, I'd feel a bit uncomfortable. It's up to you though, you know your family better than we do.

  • It's a cooling block for the GPU, and apparently it can knock off up to 20 degrees. However, it is crazy expensive, like 900$.

  • I've looked into this before, and it really depends on the type of RFID they use. Older versions have been cracked, but newer ones can't be copied over (easily or at all).

    If your company is serious about security, you will not be able to put the content of the card on your phone. What newer, more secure versions of RFID do is receive a code from the reader system, replies to it internally, and then sends back the answer. Even if you try to copy this over, you will not be able to open the doors of your facility.

    I think the first step should be to use one of these apps that can read RFID and see what protocol your card uses. If it's an unsecure one (i.e., only pushes out a code and checks it in their database that it's yours), you could probably try to copy it over. However, if it's not, you could also just dissolve the card with some acetone and place the resulting wires in your phone's case, near the bottom. Like that, it shouldn't interfere with your phone's NFC, as that one is usually next to the top area of your phone.

  • Framework laptops are getting better. Not Apple levels good, but it certainly beats them in average longevity.

    The only hope with Apple is having the EU step in again to stop this kind of bullcrap.

  • You can do it here too! Just tag @remindme@mstdn.social :)
