Based.

Controversial is the best way to sort for unpopular opinions that may have some validity.

Even in an unpopular opinion community it’s always the generic circle jerk popular opinions that rise to the top.

Maybe I’m talking out my ass, but it seems to be something devs like because it makes their life easier.

Flatpak/snaps are always a hard miss for me as a user, unless there’s no other option.

I haven’t worked with SAP directly, but did infra support for a company that used it.

They were always having issues with it and the company they used for SAP support would routinely bill them obscene amounts even for simple tasks like updating file paths.

Not surprised, I was fed up with the cost so setup a new account with a Nigerian VPN, only a few pound per month with that method.

Might switch back to a UK account if they make the price more reasonable here.

“Beans and toast”

I’d be surprised if you actually saw anything change from security updates tbh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything break from a quick patch.

Dist upgrades are when things might break, but they’re only once every few years. Leave them too long though and you may end up with compatibility issues if you need to make changes.

Fair enough if you’re not getting paid enough, the company should hire more people to stay on top of that though.

What I mean when I say I’m hanging in there

It’s so difficult to use a regular key though.

I’ve had to cancel journeys before because I get in the car and I just cannot work out how to turn it on 😞

You don’t know that for sure though. You’re guessing.

It doesn’t, don’t mislead people.

I’m not in software development, but this is how the entire company I work for operates.

We’re just kinda going forward with no clear direction, keeping stuff ticking over and constantly coming up with future plans that never come to fruition.

I just wipe the lenses on my shirt, and blast them under a tap every so often to clean.

I come from a society where the government doesn’t imprison people willy nilly.

And I will be avoiding the UAE like the plague, because our values about peoples freedom and rights are polar opposites.

It should be illegal and they should be punished, but the fine is ridiculous and 3 months of jail is disgusting.

In the UK you don’t treat someone like this for a single offense, where someone’s annoyed and has an outburst.

If you and the UAE are on the same page about how to punish people, maybe you should reflect on that.

The fine is obscene as well.

I don’t think “gambled and lost” is a good enough excuse to imprison someone for 3 months over verbal abuse.

I don’t want to defend this asshole, but the punishment is just too much for what he did.

Fuck that guy, but at the same time that’s a ridiculous sentence.

Honestly, you have to be mental to go to one of these countries. I know they want to become tourist hubs, but there’s just so many reasons to avoid.
