  • I can’t relate to this at all.

    We use windows machines as software developers at work and really have no issues at all. Never had a bluescreen in these two years.

    I use windows at home to play Factorio, Minecraft, and RDR2. Again, never had an issue. No blue screens. I turn it on open steam and play my games then turn it off when done.

    I tried Linux again cause I got sucked in by this echo chamber and that did not go well at all. I explicitly said I don’t want to have to be a nerd in my free time to manage Linux which I was assured isn’t the case. Then one day I turn it on and have no sound and no idea why it just died. I swiftly removed Linux and went back to windows.

    I do use Linux for servers for Jellyfin and stuff and I like it for those things, but me personally have had a better experience using windows and I can’t understand all these people against it.



  • Shit! I love my job as a software developer and my employer is amazing, but I wish they would do this for me. Also ADHD and I have an existential crisis every time I’m on a larger task with little direction.

    I love the small things or when things are spec’d out in to small parts. Currently have to extract this sick calendar my boss coded and repurpose it in an application I am creating for them and man it’s not as easy as it sounds when you get overwhelmed.









  • How do we tackle those problems you mentioned?

    The reason I ask is I support your view here, but recently I’ve been downvoted a lot for having the opinion that I don’t blame people still using Twitter as I believe, like you, that most people are good people and can be reasoned out of what we believe are the wrong beliefs and that staying in those places to converse with them is better than Twitter becoming a right wing place and us chilling here in left wing ideology but at the end of that nobody learns anything they didn’t already know.

    The hardest challenge in changing someone’s beliefs is that people don’t want to admit they were wrong or lied to or used or whatever and this makes it challenging if we can’t take our ego out of the equation.

    Anecdotal proof that people can change is a YouTuber called JimmyTheGiant and he has mentioned several times how he went down the alt right pipeline but started to question things and now makes left leaning content.
