So you’re saying you lie to try and change reality or present it in a different way?

That’s horrible and I certainly don’t subscribe to this mentality. I will discuss things with people with an open mind and a willingness to change positions if presented with new information.

We are not arguing out of some tribal belief, we have our morals and we will constantly test them to try and be better humans for our fellow humans.

So I actually did it and wiped my Windows PC, nothing on there I needed to keep.

Set up Fedora and added the Nvidia Drivers.

Shut down for a few days and in my next boot I downloaded CoolerControl. Then my networking died and I’m at a loss as to what happened.

And people said it was just the same as using windows, yet me a massive nerd, software developer was stuck without ever having attempted to play games.

Cross picket lines? /s

I thought that was Japan.

The joke is the commenter.

Thanks I actually use Voyager so that is helpful.

How does one do that? Do you mean the instance owner or me as a user?

You don’t find happiness. It comes and goes. Imagine being happy all the time; it would just become normal. You need non happy times to appreciate the happy times.

As someone that is either very happy or very sad, I find happiness in my hobbies. I need my mind to be occupied to pass the time, but then there is the thought I’m just waiting to die and passing time.

Hobbies that make me happy are:

• Indoor bouldering (rock climbing) is the only thing I’ve found that lets me escape the constant train of thought and be in the moment. It’s a nerdy hobby as lots of problem solving mixed with strength training.
• Running
• Rubiks cube
• Lego
• Cross stitch
• Paint by numbers
• 3D printing
• learning
• many more but this is getting long.

As someone who is down a lot of the time and has ADHD but stopped the meds as the side affects were worse than living with ADHD; I’ve found that routine is a massive thing required to be content with life. Consistent bed time and wake time. I am not a morning person but after 18 months of waking at 07:30 or 06:00, depending on if I’m taking the train to work, that I now wake up a few minutes before my alarm quite often; I’m still tired and I hate it but it gets easier.

Spending time with other people is key too. I find if I’m down it’s usually cause I’ve been alone a lot (which I love) and that can be bad for me so I’ll go see friends even if I don’t want to just to engage.

Luckily I can spot when I’m spiralling. I have an urge to fire up Minecraft and live vicariously through Steve and shut out the world.

I’m from the UK and the first one interested me.

Steven Sandford was sentenced to one year for this, which is shockingly low (not that I’m pro punishment, I believe in a rehabilitation approach).

He was released and deported back home, in 2017, after 5 months in federal prison, but he had been in custody for 11 months in total; assuming whilst awaiting trial.

I noticed this more as I worked the Genius Bar for a couple of years (UK) and the pricing was outrageous and coverage for some things refused, for example liquid damage on Apple Watch which was advertised as water resistant.

Frequently priced very close to just getting a new one on many accessories like Watch, AirPods, lore end iPads.

I don’t have figures but used to work for Apple. They sold a lot.

I would also like to clarify we were never instructed or had the desire to upsell, in fact I and I assume everybody else would downsell. If you come in for the top of the line and you tell me you’re watching YouTube then I’m down selling you.

Thanks. I will do.

Thanks for this.

Maybe it’s just the Package Manager Console inside Visual Studio Professional as “add-migration” or “update-database” don’t work unless capitalised.

What distro would you recommend, I’m prepared to try over the weekend.

How does it work with GPU drivers for a GeForce RTX 4080?

Anything else I need to be aware of

What are you writing code for?

I literally can’t think of an example where ssh’ing into a terminal is going to give good workflow. Just using Nano or Vi?

Like no IDE.

Makes sense for sysadmin or something but little sense for developers and engineers writing code to build enterprise software.

Same.

• Mac - Fast, user friendly, and UNIX based.
• Windows - Fast (I have a beast), bloated, stupid command prompt (“Add-Migration”, capital letters really.), wants to spy on me.
• Linux - Fast, a lot of work to get everything working as you would on Windows or Mac and I’m past those days, I just want to turn the thing on and play Factorio or Minecraft, not figure out if my 4080 will run on it etc.

it’s almost like people make choices to suit their needs and there isn’t a single solution for everybody.

I wonder what the industry standard is for developers? Genuinely. I’ve heard it’s Max, but my company is all in on Microsoft, not really heard of companies developing on Linux. Which isn’t to say Linux doesn’t have its place, but I’m aware this place is insanely biased towards Linux.

We use windows PCs at work as software engineers now, but when I was training I used a MacBook Pro M1 with 16GB of RAM and that thing was incredibly performant.

I know it in vogue to shit in Apple, but they build the hardware and the software and they’re incredibly efficient at what they do and I don’t think I ever saw the beachball loading icon thing.

Now the prices they charge to upgrade the RAM is something I can get behind shitting on.

To each their own I guess, I prefer to just abstain from mockery as I don’t see how it changes anything.

That said I respect your right to write what you want and hope you have a nice rest of your day. 😊
