  • I haven't used Windows at work in years for anything, not for cloud hosting, not for on-prem, not for employee machines etc etc. until the cost-cutters came in and forced Teams and other Microsoft crap to squeeze the market during inflation. The company is just waiting to be killed off now.

  • Respectable, I'm the opposite, whenever in at the office I feel like I'm clawing at the walls to get out as quickly as possible, the sweat, the noise, the people, it's just not my thing, at home I live alone in a decently sized apartment in a non-major city and it feels so cash compared to rammed trains and buses commuting for hours and hours like the last chopper out of Saigon.

  • I tried to use Bitwig but I just couldn't in the end. No single click note delete that I could find out how to do in a reasonable amount of time and the workflow is just different enough to FL to me to irritate, it seemed like really nice software for Ableton-minded folks though.

    I caved in and dual booted Windows 10 with all the shite modded out/crippled, for music and for VR gaming.

  • Honestly - you do you and have fun! Don't listen to those who moralize/pathologize this, it's pure slave morality shit, especially amongst Christians. Just make sure you're doing it for you and not for society.

  • I only ever hear that in movies. I assumed it happens if you eat low grade meat or smth like in the wild west in the US back in the day and it just became an old wives' tale turned pop culture myth.

    I do actually not like spicy food though, especially Chinese and Indian, but I've had enough of it to know I never had any gut issues.

  • Jfc some people got some fucked up dads in the comments here, leaving, slamming people through doors and table legs. My dad was okay, he had a bad attitude but I think he understood dedication and hard work and taught me to love it too. Haven't spoken in years, but I think about him now and again.

  • I don't have any issues with Xorg honestly, it just works and always has for me. I tried Wayland as a default in plasma and I couldn't get gaming to work at all, and I had weird issues watching video in the browser. Really odd that it's a default in kde imho when even the steamdeck is all Xorg (or gamescope. in gamemode.)

  • The world isn't benefitting from your research, you benefit from the world's research based off your own research, on and on it goes and we all get smarter and know more and strive towards bettering our condition, curing our ills and minimizing suffering and maximizing happiness for all.

    At least in my opinion it's why scientific research while a truly neutral morally activity and generally done as an end unto itself - from a broadly humanist standpoint - is worth pursuing, even when the immediate benefits aren't seen by the shortsighted.

  • We're all done with Teams. But billionaires gotta make their bonuses so oh well, who needs to talk to anyone for work anyway, not like several thousand people used slack daily at our workplace or anything.

    Maybe during the next wave of layoffs/layoffs-disguised-as-RTO/cuts/"we're not performing where we can be" will bring in a more useful messenger, like a python script that pipes text into /dev/null.
