Anyway they reap what they sow, at least there is some karma after all

why should I try to get a job at place where I myself have to have the highest qualifications to be eligible, while diversity hires get an easy pass?! Isn't that massively unfair?

Linux is good choice, but LibreOffice not so much, there really needs to be another office suite or a complete redesign of libreoffice

They sandworms are essentially herbivores that eat bulbuous plants just like whales eat plankton, but they evolved from just that and added the ability to occasionally go for a human snack to get some more protein in

What happens if my harddrive fails, my phone gets locked and all data is gone? How can I recover my passwords?!

Managers save their compatriots or don't hurt people who can hurt them, much easier to let go employees much lower in the hierarchy

Good keyboards nowadays also offer analogue volume knobs

Just curious is there any need for external soundcards? It seems creative is still having lots of them on sale mostly USB based, but also some PCI based.

the problem is the startup configuration for processes is more than just a package, if anything goes wrong in the conversion from init.d to system.d your linux might not be running anymore, at least that's my guess ... I had to reinstall MX Linux in order to go to the new release because they changed from init.d to system.d. Also I don't think it's easy to just change from one to the other, I once wrote a configuration for a system.d service, and you can customize that file via different commands ... and I doubt there is a transpiler that can change 1:1 a init.d configuration to a system.d configuration, for example there might be special options that just don't exist in the other service

nice to hear ... but big question is ... did you need to make a change from init.d to system.d in those 6 years?

Why go through all this package pain with arch distros and constant updates when I can go easy and smooth with debian/ubuntu based distros?

Why no MX Linux? Isn't it the top distro on distrowatch?

Hopefully those days are over where you needed to connect to the ethernet to install non-free firmware drivers for WiFi ... :-)

I agree, I mean if you are really driven, you can still get something going I guess, but it's hard, there is just too much stuff going on besides work, too ..., one more free day would mean a lot to me

JavaScript running on the James Webb to explore Space ... is this sabotage to prevent us from finding out more than we should
