    Yes, of course. But it would be a great motivator if they actually bothered to relocate you in case you showed remarkable performance and added value to the company. "We just want …

    As a web developer, I would really like to get involved in Open Source software and give back to the community a bit. But the amount of options is overwhelming tbh, and the skills …

    I had an interview a few days ago and I asked something similar. I asked about the possibility to travel to the US to greet my coworkers and work alongside them. They said they won…

    Maybe it's a joke, but a problem I see in every "open source self hosted alternative" is that people tend to underestimate how much work is to self-host everything. It's either pai…

    My entire experience with MOBAs is that people will rip you to shreds for not doing or knowing every overly specific thing people didn't know either when they had less experience.

    Also, it was until 2015 where Intel was on a great streak with their processors and didn't show signs of stagnation until around 2017/2018 I5/i7's were great at that time

    Also it's baffling how high the bar is for those who want to do good. Most mainstream vendors will shit on your privacy and sell information of your entire life as a product and no…

    Today's KDE can be almost identical to a MacOS desktop, if you customize it properly. I'm a KDE user since 2010 and a week ago I purchased an M1 Pro (hopefully to install Asahi in …

    You are treading dangerous waters here. Why paying a decent wage and have a nice work-life balance when there are people in the 3rd word working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and f…

    Actually that's the opposite. Back then, an advantage of Linux against other Unixes was being able to run in a domestic IBM PC Clone. Which, at the time, was the "small fan compute…

    I even say that instability of the Linux desktop was a considerable contributor to the decline of Linux powered workstations. People were getting used to the old reliable Gnome2 an…

    Turns out soap is not THAT essential to personal hygiene, if you have running water. The point of bathing is to rub off dead skin cells, excess oil off your skin (note that I said …
