I definitely would have kept my software engineering career longer if I could have found a decent job like I used to have. But what it means to be and what's expected of a professional software engineer today is so different from how I

I worked for others in a corporate environment and it was often a joy, but the problem is you don't always get that lucky and even if you do, the environment can change around you from year to year and a perfect job can turn into hell.

Is it a "loss" if your users have to sign in to use your product, to get monetized indirectly?

I know comments section drama is fun, but I'm not seeing it here and it feels like you're trying to create it from scratch.

I use Linux daily as a server/VM and hate using Windows as a server, but I've never been happy enough with alternatives to Windows as a desktop when I've tried them.

There used to be a much bigger scene around custom Windows installs and I hope it gets resurrected if/when the ability to create local accounts goes away. The desire for a tiny install is pretty niche at this point but I could see dema

It has affected me for at most 16 hours. I have never heard 3 days, though I'm sure there are some rare outliers. And, not being at high risk, I don't "need" it more than once a year. This kind of exaggeration is one of

If you floss too hard or aggressively then that can be bad for your teeth/gums. If you floss only rarely causing your gums to bleed when you do and you don't wash or brush away the dried blood, that can also be bad. But I don&#x27

According to another comment this site might be AI slop so I'm not defending it specifically, but in general journalism is traditionally a service expected to be subsidized by advertising, unlike an appliance you spend thousands of dol

There used to be a contract that a business had something to lose by providing bad service, that customers would leave and seek better service elsewhere. I believe the most important and least discussed phenomenon of modern consumer culture

Also if the majority of sideloaders go away because it's become more difficult, what will happen to the development scene? Will it stall out from lack of developer interest because there's such a small audience compared to before?
