I think in this case it was more about prejudice about security and standardization (yeah, in full-remote international env). Like, what if an evil virus steals the client's data from my PC, and the chances of this happening somehow hi

I had to stop the job interview when suddenly they said that I must use Mac. They ship MacBook to you and you have no choice of using Linux or anything else. Corporate policy. It's literally unusable for me after 15+ years on Linux wit

Instead of fixing fundamental problem, flatpaks/snaps bring the whole new layer of crap and hacks. They try to solve real problem, but the way they do it is like reanimating dead body cells via cancer. But that's not even the wors

So basically you use Arch Linux? (: btw, I use openSUSE Tumbleweed - more stable rolling release and it's awesome. Never going back to regular release with painful major updates every few years

It doesn't matter if you are like me, cannot perform at all in such environment: stress, sweaty palms, high heartrate and inability to write anything harder than hello world.

Take those polls with a grain of salt: 1) they are all conducted by government or affiliates, independent ones are extinct 2) in danger people tend to stick with the power 3) you can get in trouble for saying anything against the regime, e

Russian propaganda will tell people "see, the West wants us suffer, this means we're are right". Those who support this regime cannot connect cause and effect, even in total poverty they will still think "Putin good West

I can easily afford a car, but don't want to. The hidden cost of ownership, driving, all that stuff take a lot of attention. Not to mention that cars in a big city do more damage to your quality of life. Please, stop using cars as a pr
