Making it “more sensitive” could be awful. Imagine the carnage of suddenly dropping into reverse because a shirt sleeve brushed the button while reaching for something else.

Critical controls all need to be physical. Period. Putting something like rbgd mood lighting on… okay. That kinda makes sense.

But anything a driver might need while driving…. Dont have to reinvent the wheel. Which, is probably the biggest issue with Tesla’s. They were more interested in finding new ways of doing things than doing things well.

No. I’m telling you that they won’t maintain it properly.

Not when it’s a reskinned cura fork. There marlin (printer firmware- nominally more important) versions are old too… last I checked, by years.

That’s a creality problem. Not an appimage problem.

They’d have a just as shitty flatpak or whatever else they used; because that’s how the company is.

Recruiter swag happens.

Nobody’s given me a laptop though.

That’s something that’s usually outside the HR/hiring manager’s purview. (And there’s some good reasons for that. Namely maintaining the integrity of their confidential data.)

If they’re not already using Linux environments; and to be blunt, they’re probably not unless you’re specifically being hired for dev in Linux-world… then you just disqualified yourself.

Even if they do allow it, there’s probably going to be times they really need you in windows, and they’re now going to have to weigh how common that will be and if they want to tolerate it.

So, you need to ask: are you willing to hold out for that one company; for that one job, that may never come. Are you willing to take a potential pay cut?

I get having standards, but, they also get to have those standards and they might just pass because you sound annoying.

You can always decline an offer, you can’t accept an offer that’s never made.

HEY! I grew up on red hat.

It’s (RH) Enterprise Linux you want to shit on.

One specific implementation by a terrible company that can barely manage to check quality control on their actual products isn’t a very good example of appimage’s problems.

Not saying they don’t have problems. But having seen creality’s version of Marlin, I gotta say, I’d be willing to bet they rebranded something, but using vastly out of date versions.

Probably should switch to simplify3d, prusa or cura.

microcenter has some absurdly expensive monitors.

Yes. I want one. Not sure why. But I do.

Dunno. But that’s a hardware model, ;)

ME??

You… uh, like pain, don’t you?

this is what happened to windows 9, too.

If your computer is doing puzzles while running the mindless tasks you assign it…. I suggest maybe finding more stimulating tasks. Just saying… ;)

MDMA?

It’s not about drm… it’s about forcing people to use browsers that report their browsing activities

That data is immensely valuable

I dunno. There is something empowering whenever windows-super users find out you (almost) never have to reboot to update.

(Just for the kernel, then all it is, is a reboot. I like windows where it requires installation while booting- actually.) (Okay, so I just run the command line on startup automatically. You’re right.)

I got it from a book on my dad’s shelf. 6cds.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!!

-Mandrake Linux. (Is that distro even still around?)

*shows meme to my Unix Sysops dad*

“I did that once. …. Don’t look at me like that. It was on purpose. Strangest feeling.” *proceeds to wax elequently about that time they were testing disaster recovery.*

“Concatenating”….

…. That sounds either exceptionally painful or extremely fun.

Quite possibly both…

In my experience, computers and other devices that have been properly repaired with a sledgehammer never break again.
