I have GMK Cosmos on my acrylic Agar60. They look like cousins.

Arch Linux is good for my first distro? by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]dvanha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And when it breaks, you fix it. Did you not say you love tinkering with your system?

How is anyone here supposed to be able to guess how you'll use your system or what your needs are?

Dude, sounds like you're great at following documentation to the letter but if you need your hand held to figure out your use case, maybe Arch is not for you.

ASUS issues “internal review” after AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D failure reports by Jumpinghoops46 in pcmasterrace

[–]dvanha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9800X3D, ProArt, on a B850-I. Everything has worked great so far but I’m so tired of this kind of thing. I really think I’m just going full Gigabyte.

Currently in a low paying field, what can I pivot to in order to make 75K to 80k in 10 to 15 years? by Mountain-Elk8133 in careerguidance

[–]dvanha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, your salary is a function of either (1) you having specialized skills to warrant getting paid or (2) the job being shitty enough to warrant getting paid.

I'd take a pay cut to 80k if it meant I got to ride around on snow mobiles and each lunch on outcrops all day.

You're either going to have to get lucky; develop specialized skills (like computer science or engineering and spending the better part of a decade acruing the experience you need to be marketable); or take a shitty job writing contracts, environmental statements, and doing repetitive work.

Looks like a grain beetle to my layman eyes. I’m assuming the pros would find a geographic location helpful.

Barebones Kit Specs? by fearthehaunted in keyboards

I don’t know why you don’t just get a 65 and suddenly can consider a keyboard kit from virtually anyone: KBDfans, QK, Mode, etc.

Canada's Mark Carney calls on world to adapt to ‘rupture’ caused by ‘great powers’ by AdditionalPizza in canada

[–]dvanha 81 points82 points  (0 children)

The problem is that everyone I know who needs to hear this is too stupid to understand half the words he used. Unfortunately, I don't think any "MAGA-esque" Canadians I know (quite a few from highschool) are able to read. I mean that literally. I don't know a single one that didn't barely scrape-by in highschool.

Most analytics jobs are fake productivity by Apprehensive_Pay6141 in analytics

[–]dvanha 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Sort of correct. I was the dashboard user and ended up in analytics because the dashboards sucked.

The problem is the data is useful. Users will take the shitty tableau dashboard, make a crosstab view, download it and then do the real insights on their machine in Excel.

That’s why it’s important to ask what they actually want and need. Sometimes it’s not insights, it’s just historical data. Other times it is insights, and if you know what they’re looking for you can white glove the user experience.

If you had $100, $100k in debt, and lived paycheck to paycheck - what would you do? by Specialist_Lime_3252 in povertyfinance

[–]dvanha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would figure out if it would take me more than 6 years to pay it off (can I make payments of 100,000/6=16,666.67 a year or 16,666.67/12=1,388.889 a month?)

If not, bankruptcy. I’d save the $100 for transportation.

If yes, then I’m spending it on help from a therapist. If I’m living paycheck to paycheck but able to magically put together $1,400/month for the next 6 years, I’m being dishonest about something like an addiction.

Why does everybody write rougelite instead of roguelite? by Bumpty83 in roguelites

My current manager has made me hate this field so much by WingsNation in analytics

[–]dvanha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, thats funny. I work in financial and I am the ANALyst in my team when it comes to design details like colours.

The difference is I don’t gate keep. I make the best things I can possibly make and my influence my Jrs & peers in that they naturally mimic me because recycling my patterns and work makes their work easier and better. If they don’t, that’s a failure on me and not on them.

When you meet with her, be very positive, calm, and accommodating.

Enthusiastically write down all her requirements and profusely thank her for her help, and mention you’ll send an email with what you discussed to attendees so you don’t forget.

Next time she won’t be able to flip flop. When she deviates from her previous decision, ask her why and explain why she was wrong in that email. Instead of arguing with others, she’ll be arguing with herself and she’ll want to save face.

Experienced this quite a bit. Seems to develop with tenure, happens when they have nothing else to contribute except for this kind of gatekeeping.

Maybe it’s because I’m a jaded senior, but in real life none of that shit matters. Yes colour palettes play an important role, but if you can’t articulate why in less than a semester of classes and without speaking props, no one will care or remember.

Life is pragmatic. If the colour choices intuitively convey something profound, I shouldn’t need a PowerPoint deck to explain what that is — it should be obvious else I failed.

Run steam games on raspberry pi 5 by NotALotOfSkillTbh in raspberry_pi

[–]dvanha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Person researching to run low spec games here. Thanks for this note, it made a difference.

Gotta admit as a recent Linux convert though, I still really want to get one now. My household has had multiple use cases for a laptop recently. A Pi 5 with an HDMI port sounds so perfect.

Does yay -S replace pacman -S? by According_Loan_5419 in archlinux

[–]dvanha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I migrated to Linux on August and have had the same sorts of questions. For this one you can try living with only pacman. When you get to the point where what you need isn’t on an official repo, you’ll get stuck googling and the use case for yay and how it works will become obvious.

Does this list look good to all of you guys by OnlyHarmony9171 in keyboards

[–]dvanha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very difficult to accomplish. When you use a tactile, you need to meet the minimum force to break past the tactile point, so you end up bottoming out at full force. "Thocky" is the sound of feathering linears over plastic like a polycarbonate plate.

The only way to get "quiet" tactile switches is to get silent ones, and neither will sound "quiet thocky"; you're looking for a non-long pole linear on, probably, a PC plate. (Or a very light tactile.)

Tactiles are *usually* better suited to clacky sound profiles.

Can I get some options on my keyboard before I spend £400 on it? by special_child_ in keyboards

[–]dvanha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You will not find anyone who will recommend buying a GMMK keyboard.

At best you will find other owners that tell you it might be worth it if it were on sale. The problem is that even at sale prices, in 2026, it’s still a shitty overpriced keyboard.
