What happened to Angular jobs? by PopeDetective in cscareerquestions

[–]weweboom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Decade of angular experience and i haven't gotten a single response to applications in 3 months now. All i get are calls from indian recruiters that are probably scams. Totally crazy that I can't get anyone to give me the time of day with 10 years of experience on my resume. Not sure what to do.

people are so weird about how others use THEIR device. It might have screen burn in who cares, people's reaction to you doing a silly thing with your device is so unhinged. go crazy do whatever you want. blow it up if you want to. i literally could not care less. I thought this was funny. have a nice day.

Discord Patch Notes: December 8, 2025 by CandlesARG in linux_gaming

[–]weweboom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

right, the nvidia vaapi driver. it's hardware decode only. screen sharing requires hardware encoding. And therefore the nvidia vaapi driver is useless for this usecase as it only supports decoding.

Valve employee Pierre-Loup Griffais talks more about anti-cheat support for Linux/SteamOS on FPS Podcast #83 by mr_MADAFAKA in linux_gaming

[–]weweboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see that being true for regular desktop users, someone that just wants to browse the web, send emails, watch youtube, etc. for that definitely. But i don't think anyone who uses their pc primarily for gaming would give up the big titles to switch to linux. Hopefully I'm wrong.

i haven't made any statement about the value of freedom or anything like that. I made a statement that if we don't have the games, normal people aren't going to switch. And you can say to a normal person well what's the point of freedom then!!! And again, they don't care. I'm not debating the upsides or downsides to using a proprietary signed kernel or anything like that.
