Not only can you make your own OS but you can use one of the package managers and build your own repo and do a whole ecosystem yourself.
I used LFS to build a distro for embedded systems I designed at work. Was a fun experience but way too much work.
The issue is a lack of an app ecosystem with actual AAA apps.
Yeah sadly the times I've gotten screwed is when a major version change occurred in 2022. Got burned once doing that and now I know to check to see if we have upgraded past the version the code works before spending too much time working on it.
I always have written my dates this way. It's one of those things that always seemed weird to me and then when I realize that only in America do we write our dates MM-DD-YYYY /facepalm
I've found it useful for basically finding the example code for a 3rd party library. Basically a version of Stack Exchange that can be better or worse.
In high school usb drives werent yet a thing so we had a SneakerNet using an Iomega Zip Disk.
There once was a website (a long time ago might still exist) that had links to YT copies people uploaded from their VHS. It had some in-browser IRC client and you could chat with others in sort of a watch party. Was where I saw a lot of seasons not played by Comedy Central / SciFi or Mystery Science Theater Hour.
This was a long time ago. Like back when browsers had plugins for Shockwave. I doubt it still exists.
I was on Digg but never much more than a super casual lurker. Like maybe hitting it up at work a few times a month. I was still on USENET most of the time so there wasn't much of a need.
The first episode I saw was on The Comedy Channel/Comedy Central while staying at a hotel. I was way too young to understand the majority of the jokes but the made a couple specifically calling out places where I'm from (live in Wisconsin) that it blew my mind.
Some suggestions from a MiST who grew up watching them via friends recording them on VHS...
- Mitchell (Season 5, Episode 12)
- The Final Sacrifice (Season 9, Episode 10)
- Pod People (Season 3, Episode 3)
- Werewolf (Season 9, Episode 4)
- Time Chasers (Season 8, Episode 21)
- Overdrawn at The Memory Bank (Season 8, Episode 22)
- Hobgoblins (Season 9, Episode 7)
- Soultaker (Season 10, Episode 1)
- Catalina Caper (Season 2, Episode 4)
Some of these are available for free, some you need to get off Netflix or other places. There is a mst3k channel that plays episodes 24/7 on Pluto TV, and you can stream much of the original series (there was a revival via Kickstarter that's on Netflix and now online) via Gizmoolex.com
They knew. They say that because they don't actually want to fulfill their employees needs.
We want to WFH because we dont want a 2hr unpayed commute. The way that ks fixed is for employees to consider the commute part of their 9-5 but that means we are really only doing 10-4 with an hour from lunch.
We want WFH because our lunch breaks don't easily get taken over by meetings because we arent sitting at our desk of the break room. The hour is an actual hour you can't contact me so more "lost time".
With WFH its harder to keep people around after hours as they can quickly mark their chat so to afk. That means no more 4:30 pop ins saying we need to stay late.
Turns out that when your employees can force their work time no one givea away free time. When you end WFH and try to squeeze out more time you're going to piss off a lot of people.
