  • Its a small team and those are mistakes. We can find hundreds of examples of major companies with IT teams in the 100s making those same mistakes. The solution was figured out by the team and fixed. The original version of that GH page that most people remember was much longer but its been significantly reduced as most of the claims were disputed and the author had to reel back their claims or remove them outright. Now whats left is just a few pedantic complaints.

    With arch they make those mistakes less but they shift a lot more configuration onto the user and when those mistakes get made they dont need to take any blame because it was the user who made the mistake. Arch has pushed updates that have broken bootloaders how many times? I’d consider that to be catastrophic failure on any distro except arch where i think its fine as the user should be able to fix their bootloader pretty easily.







  • No, its not that. I dont suggest people switch GPU unless absolutely needed. That GPU should be able to have a great time on Fedora. When you used fedora did you install the proprietary driver? Because Bazzite ships the proprietary driver but Fedora ships the Open source one which is really bad.







  • Yeah I like Lemmy, i donate and have massive respect for the devs that worked hard for years building this software. But their views are disgusting and it will kill Lemmy eventually. We’re to small at the moment to start infighting so I dont worry to much about it. At the moment its more important for people to move away from corporate platforms to free and open platforms.


  • Just out of uni I couldn’t get a job in IT so I went and did labouring. It was the lowest money ive ever made and the hardest ive ever worked.

    I’d get up at 4:30am get ready and catch the train in. Then wait and hope to get selected for a decent job if I didnt j go home with nothing. One day I got picked to do a plank replacement on a pier. We jumped jin the van and headed out. started at about 6am and finished at 6pm. We had to walkout on these metal beams above the sea and lift these giant rotting wooden beams similar to railroad beams but longer they must have been over 100kg each and carry them to a pile then grab a new beam and carry it out. Each one was a 2 person lift which made it slow and by like hour 6 my strength was giving out on me and by hour 8 my fingers could barely hold on so I kept having to rest the beam on my leg or shoulder. Also I was the only one who spoke English so communicate was hard. At the end of the day the builder the builder asked me to come back and help the next day because i spoke English. I said fuck no.

    I made $120~ for that and i was to sore to work so I lost the next 2 days of work which means I basically lost money. My legs, shoulders and arms were so bruised uo from resting the planks on them. The company that I worked for also later ended uo scamming me 3 days of wages and i was to young and naive to fight it. Fuck you allied workforce most dogshit place ive ever worked.
