I really like KDE’s built in tiling. super easy to configure and snap stuff but also easy to get floating windows when you need to occasionally break convention. I don’t think I’d like a full time tiling wm but I’m also not a terminal user for work. I’ve been thinking about how far this has all come. in the ‘00s I wound up using fluxbox because it worked and the poo poo laptop I was using benefited from the simplicity and now there are several very good options that rival or surpass what trillion dollar companies can produce. that said gently caress GNOME

Gonna try to switch to Linux sleep mode when my gen 2 Thinkpad arrives today. I didn’t know about this with the gaming laptop I had from Asus so I didn’t get a chance to try it with that but yeah whatever this new sleep is it sucks. I assume it should just work on Windows and macOS but the problem with those is they have so many goddamn wake conditions it’s pointless anyway. My wife put her Windows laptop to sleep at night and woke up to a dead battery because Windows Update decided it was time to do its thing even though it wasn’t plugged in. I’d say lol gently caress Windows but I had a MacBook do the same thing once until I figured out how to disable all that poo poo.

What I love about elitist goobers like this is they're provably wrong. Google, a company that actually makes money, did research on this stuff years ago and found poo poo like academic performance only correlated to employee performance within like four years of someone's graduation. They also discovered that their 16-person interview process wasn't filtering candidates better than just having four people interview a person. This was like 10 years ago now. So not only are people like this wrong but out of touch. Of course processes and standards like this aren't about hiring the right people.

The_Franz posted:tech companies also introduced those stupid riddles in interviews, and also were the first to realize that limiting your hiring pool to weirdos who fancied themselves The Real Life Riddler and fancied clever vs sensible solutions to problems was a bad idea. that didn't stop everyone else from starting to do that nonsense too, and they kept doing it long after the people who originally started doing it stopped, as an entire industry on bullshit had already spawned around it. in the 00s, people were reporting being asked about weighing 747s by dunking them in stadiums full of golf balls even for menial jobs Yeah I had a place ask me weird logic questions like getting a fox, a chicken, and a lit torch across a lake in weird combinations. I can at least understand Fermi questions like "how many doctors are there in Chicago?" where the answer is more about the thought process, but asking someone a dumb question with a specific answer while they're on the spot doesn't reveal anything about how a person solves real world problems. That place went on to develop a terrible rep for how they treated their employees (surprise!) so bullet dodged, I guess. Even at a place I ended up for a long time, they dropped the Fermi bullshit when one of the senior HMs had a woman say, "I dunno, that's what google is for," and he realized how stupid the process was, since that's objectively the best answer anyway.

Thanks for subscribing to FIREFOX FACTS DID YOU KNOW Firefox was originally named Firebird, but had to change its name due to a lawsuit they settled with Pontiac.

I mean a dude spent two years of his state sponsored life to infiltrate a zip project only to have his payload get caught by a guy benchmarking software on a bleeding edge distribution that only crazies would use in an environment where they want safe data. How fast did the high fives stop, do you think? I’m in no way even reasonably informed how all this poo poo works but the idea that some smugdog using Arch btw interrupted what could have been a heist of the decade is very funny to me. Very 10,000 monkeys with a typewriter energy.

broke down and bought a 7900xtx after getting a 4K monitor. it’s nice to be able to put the computer to sleep without everything going haywire on the 3080.

sound sucks on any os the moment you dare try anything beyond plugging in a usb or Bluetooth setup. windows loves to randomly change the bitrate on my buddy’s professional mic when he plugs it into a mixer. pipewire has at least reached parity with the desktop OSes in that I haven’t had to dick with it for a pair of sennheisers plugged into a DAC/amp via usb

*sits on tree stump* Got my start on Debian Woody because my laptop at the time ran like poo poo on Windows. The goddamn thing didn't even have a wifi radio, so I had to use a PCMCIA card, which was high technology at the time.
