Sure, Manjaro is known to break on updates. OpenSuse TW is stable AF. Manjaro is a joke compared to most distros though.

What? Is this a positive step by large companies?

The cynic in me thinks they’ll push to legislate for this so Indies cannot compete and they make more money from MTX hell.

That’s a very expensive Nazi bar.

Best to fork just in case? Ideally to Codeberg.

Some Fillipino’s I’ve talked to have commented that drug problems in their area disappeared but used to be pretty horrible.

I’m not one to defend crimes against human’s, but one cannot discount the level of criminality and the impact it was already having on people’s lives. Whether the tactics were fair or decent is one thing, but another is, did it work? Did it solve a serious problem the country was grappling with? You only have to look at Mexico to realise that if you don’t deal with these things, the level of murder and suffering often skyrockets.

Minecraft is one of the biggest games on the planet. Very popular with the young. Not what many would consider beautiful.

Anyway, that’s enough about yourself…

Feels like you never truly where on Reddit if you felt it was a beacon of warmth and friendliness. Did you ever share an opinion contrary to the prevailing opinion on there?

I wouldn’t recommend staying with a company for 17 years. That’s for sure. Best way to get stuck in a company specific niche skill that is not transferable. For the reasons stated you got to keep yourself positioned well skills wise and relevant so you can jump into any role you need at any time.

Integrity is not for the company. It’s doing things the way you think they should be done and earn your own respect.

I would say all companies don’t replace with cheaper. Many do. Especially the shitty ones. It’s quite easy to avoid those like the plague. Many did, and learnt the hard way, many have staff that have seen failed outsourcing and are in a position to influence that.

Soloing knowledge doesn’t keep you safe though as the penny pinching companies will remove anyway and clean up later regardless. It does not keep you safe. It’s a false sense of security. Complacency is a death sentence in software development.

Professional integrity. Have you ever worked for a company that got screwed by a consultancy? Vendor lock in and charging scandalous amounts for little offer.

You are paid for your skills and your time. If you’re confident in your ability and impact, you shouldn’t have to be worried.

I’m not saying sacrifice for yourself for your company, and if they are a shitty company that would replace you with cheaper, get out, but also, giving nothing for the pay you get is a bit dishonest, and then you are no better than them.

Plus, you make the case that hiring people is bad and paying a consultancy is less risky.

Of course Jared didn’t document anything and made themselves a bus factor. Real success is when Jared makes themself replaceable because hiding detail and making yourself critical is the best way to take a site down when you’re on holiday and prevent other team members stepping in and taking ownership.

Top tier testing!

Oh yeah, I see now. I misread that.

She went to war with unions and the working class. Destroyed workers rights, used the police to antagonise and dismantle strikes, left towns and cities in economic decline. She screwed a LOT of people. Many hate her here.

I didn’t realise Valve had gone into vaccinations, but Mumps, Measles and Rubella are nasty fuckers.

Unit tests, yes, but you don’t only do unit tests. Integration and e2e tests still exist.

I’d rotate it so it starts to grow to the light and give it a bit more balance.

I’d personally try it outside and see his it gets on with the drainage holes, can always bring back in if it gets sad.

Was there even tests?

I’m not sure what’s with your first sentence. Everything else you said agreed with the point I was making…

Garbage in, garbage out. Keep feeding it shit data, expect shit answers.

Real mugs.

Henry Ford invented breaks to extract more out of the peasant Labour.

The fact we’re years later and cognitively demanding jobs don’t support this well show how amateur managers are and his spineless devs that enable them are.
