isVeryLoud,

I’d rather pay than have ads. I think advertising is a plight upon humanity.

isVeryLoud,

YouTube seems up

I’m an early gen Z, I’m 25 right now, and have been on the job market for 8 years so far.

I’m tired, I’m overworked, I’m stressed, I’m looking for upward mobility in my domain but every company is making cutbacks, withholding bonuses and holding pay increases.

I’m a software developer. I’m working a main job and freelancing on the side to make ends meet, and it’s still not enough.

I invest in my future with things like RRSP and FHSAs, I have some luxuries (small car, a dog because what is life if it’s completely miserable?), and it hurts every time I get a necessity because everything goes to rent, food, clothing, etc. and grocery bills are always close to $200 for 2 people, even at the cheaper grocery stores.

Everything’s down on quality, nothing lasts, so we either have to buy things over and over, or save up a ton of money to pay luxury prices for a decent product that won’t break the very fucking second the warranty expires.

We’re getting gouged as much as possible. My group is particular because we started our careers slightly before or during the 2020 pandemic, where companies learned that they could gouge the fuck out of everyone on necessities, and people starting out fresh are hit the hardest as they don’t have savings or mature investments.

Wayland is ready for most people. You’re free to keep using X11 if your use case isn’t covered yet.

isVeryLoud,

I love JetBrains.

isVeryLoud,

Missed opportunity 😔

isVeryLoud,

You can edit the post, y’know :P

isVeryLoud,

Mmmm, confit errors 😋🍽️

isVeryLoud,

You know these are volunteers that work for free, right?

The “thingy” looks like anal beads.

You’re welcome.

Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives

Are there good Microsoft word alternatives that support Linux (I don’t mind closed source)? Libreoffice is meh and only office is quite good, but are there any better ones? Also, is there a way to install word on Linux using wine? When I do that my laptop just overheats and loses internet connection.

isVeryLoud,

It’s all programmer UI, really.

Even the tabbed view was hard to use for me, especially the impossible to use “styles” box that scrolls a narrow view. I use it all the time on MS Word, and much prefer how they handle it.

Also, no CSD, so the title bar kinda just chills there, meanwhile it’s used in Microsoft Word.

isVeryLoud,

Good idea, stupid name.

Excellent for causing FUD.

No, this will not increase the amount of kernel panics you see. It just makes them more informational to the average person. Technical folks can disable it, non-technical folks won’t know how to enable it, so on by default it is.

isVeryLoud,

It’s the GNOME ToolKit now

isVeryLoud,

The what now lol

isVeryLoud,

Wise words

isVeryLoud, (edited )

Definitely the correct answer.

It’s a drag and drop appimage manager, like macOS DMGs. And it’s a flatpak!

isVeryLoud,

Same, it’s a “it just works” distro.

isVeryLoud,

Snaps! Snaps everywhere!

As a GNOME user, I’m happy to see it’s GTK, but idk why it’s not Libadwaita.

We’re never gonna get one cohesive UI on Linux, it’s always gonna look out of place somewhere.

If the backend is not tied to the UI, it might be easy to reuse the work for a Qt6 front-end.

isVeryLoud,

Because if you’re gonna use an antivirus, Defender does just fine.

They all more or less use the same viral signature database and definitions, and are mostly feature-matched with each other. Why look beyond what your computer came with unless you’re installing something integrated with an RMM tool?

Ubuntu Server for me, much less finicky than Debian, more stable than Fedora.

I need my servers to just come up and go, and Ubuntu does that.

On a desktop, Fedora for me, because it’s semi-rolling.

isVeryLoud,

I do that a lot, is it that bad?

isVeryLoud,

I have CPTSD, ADHD and Autism. Could be any of the above!

isVeryLoud,

Emacs works better

isVeryLoud,

Depends where lol, but it’s true in general.
