Are you me??

Well, I deleted my account so that won’t work. But that’s crazy if that’s true (not doubting you).

I actually prefer the Lenovo keyboard to any other laptop keyboard in existence. Be it HP, Dell, Microsoft, Asus, Acer or otherwise.

This. I have to go out of my way to even see my wife’s posts (well, before I deleted Facebook).

2/3rds of my feed are ads.

This metric is bullshit because they fucked up the waters.

lol what, Discord enshittified years ago.

Windows for work, Linux for fun.

I can think of worse ones and at least knowing JavaScript has paid my bills for 8+ years.

I dumped mine, originally was estimated to be a $92 fee or something to walk away from the lease.

Just found out a couple of days ago they’re charging me every fee under the sun. Now they want $4000. Have to put it on a credit card. It royally sucks, but I’m still glad I ditched it.

They probably will, but in ascending order.

At least where I am in Oregon the worst were just lifted trucks driven by snowflakes coal rolling.

I think everyone else was just being a keyboard warrior.

Some people I know will blame Obama, Hilary, and Biden.

So, yeah.

Based on what little I know that goes into video game development, $80 seems cheap - assuming no mtx.

But if it’s $80 + mtx? Fuck that.

Maybe in some cases. This particular company at the time had revenue of $5M, with a much lower net, so $2M want even feasible.

The number of clients I’ve worked with who are “stuck” with Oracle passes the 50% mark and I’m just one person.

One company said that Oracle offered them a de-obfuscation tool to migrate elsewhere for a mere $2M. Absurd.

Fuck Oracle.

It’s not even viable for me. I simply cannot use Linux daily because all my jobs require software that doesn’t have a Linux version, or it does but it’s lacking necessary features, or there’s an alternative but I have to burn extra hours making it work with their systems/setup - hours I don’t have.

Or I have to use internally configured Remote Desktop profiles over a VPN (not to be confused with RDP), and you can’t do that specific use case on Linux because it requires using the company’s internal Windows Store with specific Remote Desktop installation.

Or I have to use a specific Outlook instance, locally installed, because somehow they’ve blocked web access (I still haven’t figured out exactly how they set this up).

After a 12 hour day, sure, I can switch back to my dual boot Linux instance and spend 1-2 hours for personal use. But the ratio is still Windows-leaning no matter how you slice it.

I agree. I hate using a mouse and generally avoid it, and still the productivity gains I get from using something like VS Code versus Vim with plugins to the max are impossible to ignore.

When I’m juggling like 3 development contracts at once, it’s dumb of me to not use every little gain in productivity possible. I don’t have time to spend a day recreating a plugin to my liking in Vim when something already exists that gets me 99% of the way there. I don’t care about the extra RAM use because I have plenty of that.

I think some people just like to die on this hill out of principle, and that’s whatever, more power to them.

On it.

Yeah, this might actually make me sign back up just to script kiddie the shit out of things.

I actually like my Snapdragon X Elite laptop :(

Nice battery life, nicely portable for working at bars, I’ve had zero issues but I’m also not exactly the average consumer.

I love this. I love this so much.
