Actually!

I went to the comments expecting some more jokes but found multiple dissertations instead wtf.

Idk most teams I've worked with have either known better than to deploy anything at EOD or on a friday, or make heavy use of feature flags so any change that caused an issue just got swiftly rolled back. The ones that didn't, I made it ABUNDANTLY clear that I won't be available outside of work hours.

Maybe I haven't been around the block enough or maybe I got lucky...

Better than most but ended on a cliffhanger if I recall correctly

I'd say I'm even weirder than that squad in that I watch anime dubbed but always do original audio + subs if it's live action.

Travelers gwtting cancelled was actually criminal

The number of references and in jokes was what made me give SNW and eventually TNG a chance personally. I jist really wanted to know wtf was up with the Koala

That's the dream! Travel a ton, learn languages, work on just the stuff you care about...I hope to be able to do that someday!

Fr tho basically what /u/AnimalsDream said

Ah yes, the surveillance state argument. Classic 🤦

Wha? That's a dangerous mindset to teach. The last thing you want is to add network latency to every interaction or tether an app to the internet when it doesn't really need it (but I guess big tech didn't get the memo on that one).

Probably skill issue on my end tbh but here goes:

I'll admit I've never tried GTK. I've always assumed it was specific to linux and used to make apps that look a certain way (like they were made for gnome) vs allowing you to make UIs the way you want to. Maybe I should look into this more.

Qt I'd say is "industry standard" but I've never been able to figure it out (so definitely skill issue here). It's just that every time I've tried it, it's been confusing where you're even supposed to start. Also the last time I tried it I was a bit lost because I assume that I'm supposed to use Qt 6 (?) but it requires me to create an account because there's a whole community/enterprise pricing thing (fair enough, nobody's entitled to OSS work, especially not billion/trillion dollar companies). I plan to look again but that's where I've been stuck so far.

I hate shipping chromium for every single app and it's easy to fuck up a react app but there's something to be said about cutting through the BS, just building, and having it work the same everywhere. Webapps won't perform as well as native but they will perform well enough that it's fine assuming the product owners give a shit.

Still learning but this has been my sentiment so far.

Edit:
Been playing around with iced.rs a bit and it looks promising but I haven't done anything past beginner stuff so no fully formed opinions yet.

So [*mic feedback*]

 

Instructions

Edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf (sudo required), go to the line that says #FastConnectable = false and replace it with FastConnectable = true.

My distro: Fedora 42

If this was common knowledge then I guess I'm just an idiot but I recently found out about this after years of trying to fix it on and off across multiple devices and complaining the whole time that "linux bluetooth sucks" and it has fixed 99% of my problems. My biggest issue was my keyboard refusing to reconnect after it goes to sleep when the same behavior works fine on ~~spyware~~ windows. Quick change, restart the bluetooth service, and it works exactly like you'd expect now. Why it's off by default on a relatively modern wireless chip is beyond me (I suspect power saving on older chips but idk).
