Sure, but once you know how it's very chill.

RFC3339! It's like ISO8601, but good!

I know a person who does AIX consulting with Cobol. She works about 4-8 weeks a year spread between 3 companies and makes enough to raise a family and fund a massive hobby farm. Helps to be in an area with a large fintech presence I imagine.

Me too, but I don't like my odds.

I'm a software sales engineer. I was a systems administrator that learned a really in demand product front to back, and incidentally had good people skills and presentation skills. The company contacted me when I left that job and I joined on.

I scope installs, perform architecture reviews, compete with other products, give presentations/demos/conference talks, do hands on training, happy hours, dinners, triage and escalate support issues...

It's been life changing. No more oncall, West Coast / Silicon Valley benefits, lots of fun with customers, and absolutely stupid money in a good year.

Not everyone is cut out for it. It can be very stressful and high pressure, but those who can do very well for themselves.

Well that's super fucking cool

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

You don't know, they might be using a 70in TV as a monitor.

A notebook and crayons? I think you'd just get back stick figure-esque drawings of cybertrucks with notes like "bulletproof" and "anti-gas attack".

Just like the poor Tesla design team.

    Pocketbook eReaders are very high quality and run Linux out of the box.

    • actually Nvidia largely does support wayland now
    • it's on those applications to support wayland, not the other way around. X certainly wasn't developed to support upstream.
    • adopted an extensible standard, regardless of how it makes you feel.
    • more secure and resilient to a variety of attacks, including keyloggers. Yes very bad.
    • how about the fact that nearly all X developers founded and are now supporting Wayland, and X hasn't had meaningful development aside from break/fix patching for over a decade?
    • you probably shouldn't.

    You're proving that your hate is founded on word of mouth instead of facts. There was an accepted RFC for secure sharing of desktop resources years ago. It's solved. Many applications have already ported in.

    Red Hat is gone. The leadership, vision, people, and culture that made Red Hat Red Hat are gone. IBM has completely taken over internally. Red Hat's logo is being paraded around to keep people complacent due to their former reputation.

    Yes. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-amd-encoder

    Or on Linux (sorry for Reddit link...) https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/qwqxwd/how_to_enable_amd_amf_encoding_in_obs/

    Ah! Then like me you can use VKCapture. https://github.com/nowrep/obs-vkcapture.

    It's not quite as fast as hardware accelerated, but it's as good as you can otherwise get.

    Learn docker on the distro you're most comfortable with.

    Accountability. The Dev is wishing others couldn't see the backlog and their decision process publicly.

    Questions regarding Old-new Hard drives

    Hi, I seek your help once again. I’m in the need of upgrading my storage now and I found what I consider to be a good deal via Amazon on an older gen enterprise WD drive that supposedly hasn’t been used, but I’ll let the power on hours tell me the truth. The price is about 16usd/TB and I’m wondering if this is a bad idea...

    Can't agree with you on Brave. You're putting a lot of trust in a for profit company with no real transparency or accountability mechanism.

    Sure, lots of newer studies on this. This article covers it well and gives some examples: https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/article/50/10/854/233996
