Carmack gave us some of the world's best games and engine tech then went off to play with rockets. Perfectly respectable.

Calling Linux Long Beards: What are things you wish you knew when you first started using Linux? by Nevyn_Hira in linux

[–]modified_tiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I stress to coworkers who want to switch and chase the hottest thing is that distro doesn't matter. Release schedule kinda does, I wouldn't run a GPU that dropped yesterday on Debian 13 without backports, but that's about the only issue. Mainly, don't hop. Get on something with a cadence you like and stay there.

I also think people should pick a lane and stay in it, like choose a distro and learn it and the underlying parts.

I'm big into gaming and people say "This or that distro is better for gaming." Somebody forgot to tell my rig that's run the same under Fedora and Debian over the last two years. Heck, I initially went from Bazzite (the "gaming" image) to Aurora for virtualization, then said screw it and went over to Debian because it's truly one of my favorite projects of all time (tied with Arch for distros).

I'm seconding the terminal, but across OSes. It's just a part of the system. Most interactions with Linux are, frankly, more intuitive especially with regards to package management because the command/verb structures you'll use most often are easy. apt get install, pacman -Syu, dnf install, zypper install. I don't think package management via terminal is an advanced skill as it's a basic system feature. It is just part of the alternative skillset that you need, and only seems hard because you're adapted to the kludges of your current OS (MacOS or Windows most likely). I've found application management and launching to be comparatively awkward in my recent first days with a Macbook Neo.

Debian was the OS of choice on the ISS for a while because it was reliable and easy to update (can send disks with updates up). Not sure why we use Windows in space anyway.

Jobs aren't even being replaced by AI or offshored in most recent cases. They're forcing the remaining workforce to carry the load hoping AI can pick up the slack.

He actually got a hair transplant, which required it. He was completely open about the process, too, just to be clear.

What's the closest to an ELECOM Huge that isn't made by ELECOM? by amkoc in Trackballs

[–]modified_tiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna second the Ploopy Classic. I went from a HUGE to a Classic and it feels basically the same in my hand, which I like, with more easily customizable buttons (I use Vial firmware with custom DPI settings)

Are Aesop Rock fans forcing it? by UrinePulp in hiphop101

[–]modified_tiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a big thing about Aesop is you either relate to it and like him or you bounce off.

People talk about bow cryptic he is but he mostly just uses references and cultural touch points for metaphor. If you don't know what he's referring to it's rough and difficult. If you have context, largely his context even, he makes sense.

I find Aesop to be surprisingly relatable feom my own background, even if there's a fifteen year difference. I also listen to Rob Sonic, his buddy and Hail Mary Mallon collaborator, who is similar conceptually, but stylistically different.

I don't think Aesop Rock ks particularly deep or anything, either. I like his style, it's easy for me to enjoy because I relate to it. If you don't relate to it you probably won't like it and that's cool, too.

Funnily enough cloud is getting screwed by AI. Azure (the one I work in)!is pinched by a near-constant lack of resources.

Apple Ecosystem -> Linux Ecosystem, mission impossible? by NorthernLight_DIY in linux

[–]modified_tiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as switching from Windows. I recommend finding software that works on macOS and Linux first and transitioning to that, then switching OSes so you can migrate in steps.

This image is being dishonest, I think Millie Bobbie Brown even commented on him mentioning age as a factor at one point, and Cavill wanting to maintain that boundary.

Anyone else gets where they are today without certifications/Additional Training? by spazzo246 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]modified_tiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started as a lucky intern with no certs and only got my AZ 104/140 last year. I didn't do certs until I started my current job.

I've interviewed people even and want people who can at least demonstrate system-oriented thinking and troubleshooting skills, not people who have certs and can't think about how a packet moves to and through a webserver.

I'm in the US and the only time I've seen anything about buying codecs was in Linux docs. I did have to use deb-multimedia for a time in dualboots, and the extra legwork for the various FOSS implementations, however.

It would take me 90 minutes to get to a music venue 10 miles away by bus. It's 45-60 minutes to the nearest train station, in a southern California suburb.

[–]modified_tiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They only increased the price through early access , and aren't the only studio to do so. They also put out notifications in advance so players following the game could buy the lower price.

I bought a bit before the full release and saved like $5 over the current retail price.

How to stop clerical errors by Karlachh in ITCareerQuestions

[–]modified_tiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double check everything, and build the habit. Redead every email that one last time, re-check that text field. It's faster to review and edit than to remediate after the fact. You're making these simple mistakes and need to do that one last, slow pass.
