I see a few people who don't want to switch due to the hassle it would take with changing email addresses, presumably because they use one of the @proton.me email domains. Get your own email domain! It's super cheap (if you choose one of the new TLDs, it can be as low as few dollars a year), the setup isn't really hard - you just change a few DNS values, and that's basically it - you can use whatever email you want that ends with your domain. It might take a while to slowly replace all your @proton.me emails with your domain one, but if you're not in a hurry and change any old mail you see during your day-to-day activities, you'll eventually be done with it, and you can set up mail forwarding to your domain for mail that arrives to your old @proton.me address.

And if you ever need to move to a different provider, you just change the DNS records again to a new provider, and your email will start coming to the new one immediately.

What would be a good alternative? I refuse to support this. Thankfully, I have my own domain, so anything where I can use it would be great, and moving shouldn't be that hard. Bonus points if I can use wildcards, or at least have a few emails, like spam@mydomain and other.

Oh, and it has to support "+" emails, such as mail+whatever@mydomain.com

Ooh, that's actually a good idea, just installing it on a separate removable drive, copying it over and seeing what works. Thanks!

Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.

Insist on doing everything through ‘channels.’ Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

“Make ‘speeches.’ Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your ‘points’ by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate ‘patriotic’ comments.”

That reminds me of something. Standup, Kaban, Retrospective! It's Agile!

If you want a headstart, I'd recommend looking into other kinds of languages, such as lisp, assembly, smalltalk and prolog. You will probably have classes on those in college (at least I did have mandatory ones), and it can take a while to wrap your head over such different programming styles.

And it also helps wonders to make you into a versatile programmer - since you would be vaguely familar with most of the different styles of languages there are, picking up a any new language will be a lot faster, since it will probably be similar to one of the above mentioned.

I mostly wonder whether I would be able to just copy and paste /home from Nobara to Bazzite, and apps like steam or lutris/wine games would keep working, or if it's more complex than that.

Isn't that the plan with greenland, though? Except instead of "buy" it will be "invade".

I'm planning to do that, I've been running Nobara for the past year, but I don't have /home on separate partition and Idon't want to bother with moving data, so I'm postponing it. What are the advantages, are is there something I should watch out for before switching?

I bought a Legion Go last week, and so far I'm really happy with it. The first thing I did was delete Windows and install Bazzite, and from that moment everything was smooth. The larger size is nice, and so far I had no issues running games pretty comfortably.

If there's anyone here who works at Meta, I've heard they have an internal system to report and escalate such cases of unreasonable bans.

That sound like a fun idea.

Is it illegal to use a fake name for such interviews, or rather - can it get you prosecuted, i.e if the company would get really salty and sued you for their incurred manpower? As long as you don't submit any fake legal documents, just sending a fake CV with fake name and creds, maybe going to an interview or two, only to bail out before providing anything legally binding, is it a persecutable crime?

Yeah, that's my experience as well. In addition to being lazy with updating, so if some kind of supply chain attack happens, I usually sorts itself out before I get to updating :D

But I did limit my browser extensions, after I a cause with Nano Defender taught me a lesson - it was a mildly popular anit-anti-adblock killer that worked where other adblocks were detected, but the developer sold the extension to a company that turned it into a info-stealer malware and pushed an update through chrome store, which got accepted and propagated, and some of my social network sessions got compromised. So, I just stick to more popular projects where something like this shouldn't happen, and don't use random extensions.
