It's the same color way.

Is... Is it the whole chicken?

Yeah, I've gotten pretty used to companies fucking me too!

Managers are always tied to their corporate overlords. Developers can choose to freelance and potentially make more while not having to stick around and maintain an aging codebase if they're skilled enough.

Fair worning, I'm learning to program and I have zero experience in the industry. This is at most observations from what I've heard from others in the industry.

Weren't are nukes controlled by IBM series/1 systems and floppy discs until 2019. They said they upgraded to a highly secure solid state system. They might be still using those computers for some parts of the system because “You can't hack something that doesn't have an IP address. It's a very unique system — it is old and it is very good.”

Get a used /cheap phone or tablet, only turn it on or enable wifi when you need the app. Don't use it for anything else. I think that covers all the bases.

It's fun playing with local AI stuff. I've been playing with piper-tts and it's fast on a modern system.

It's not gonna fix my 5900x taking off like a jet engine when I launch 100 JavaScript heavy web apps.

And I use arch because it was the first one that worked well on my hardware. Being into software development it's probably not surprising to say I'm attracted to shiny new technologies.

I love the fact your using Linux for your digital art. It validates the notion I've had about potentially using Linux for learning how to create illustrations and potentially small animations. I've used tools like gimp for Photoshop like stuff and davinchi resolve (a tool I've used) works on Linux. I might pick up a cheap little waycom eventually and see what happens.

It would be fun to have a stream where software I wrote allows people to shout over each other (running completely locally) while I fail at drawing or making more janky code to do useful/silly stuff.

At least he tried it. Maybe he'll pick up a second drive and dualboot. Regardless I have mad respect for someone who doesn't just assume things but puts the effort into finding out for themselves.

I remember when I was testing the water. I accidentally nuked my drive and something about that felt so final. At least after I found the USB drive I kept my backed up files, that was a real nightmare. I thought I lost my receipts for tax sure but all those photos and videos.

Unless you use an Nvidia graphics card. Every little update seems to improve stability and support. I'm on hyprland because plasma 5 had pretty annoying bug they neglected to fix on Nvidia but plasma 6 is starting to look stable so I might switch to it or wait for cosmic. I'm not sure if I could live without tiling and the way virtual desktops work on it now.

I find myself hitting hotkeys that simple aren't possible on kde. I simply couldn't use an lts distro with the ever growing gap between the improvements then and where we are at now.

Also x11 sucks and has made my experience miserable Everytime I've tried to use it. Anything from horrible screen tearing(from scaling) on Intel integrated to consistent lag and stutter on Nvidia, I'm glad it's dying.

You never have to update if you never connect to the internet.
