Did you just call “family” the “minor part of life”‽ Or am I misunderstanding you?

I don’t know why you are being an ass to me. I literally admitted that my lack of skill was the issue right at the beginning.

And then people wonder why noobs don’t want to bother with Linux.

It’s been 8+ years since I last used Ubuntu on my laptop. I faced massive issues with staying on the latest version of Firefox because apt had a much older version, and installing using the gui installer wouldn’t replace the apt version etc etc. Probably a PEBKAC issue…

But, I do want to know- is this not an issue any more? Will apt install the latest (or almost latest) version of Firefox? Can I update it from the inbuilt update tool in Firefox?

Okay, which instances should I block to get rid of the tankies?

“it actually depends”

Yes, it depends. But in this scenario we’re not discussing if statements with one or two conditions. We’re exclusively discussing multiple complicated conditions. :)

I’ve had at least one code reviewer ask me to put all the logic in the if ... line rather than use a variable or two in order to “simplify code by reducing the number of variables.”

At the very least, this article helped me confirm my own bias of “that guy is a moron” and I can send this article to him the next time he reviews my code.

In a former workplace, we had a process that was close enough to what’s recommended in the blog, and it worked well. Really well even, there were hardly any ego clashes, everyone would negotiate a consensus and we had “spike” tasks in our sprints so that we can take the time to think about and research complex problems.

And then the fire nation attacked…

A director left the firm and they hired someone from Amazon. He said that we should have a “bias for action”, and got rid of this process, and a lot of other stuff we had going for ourselves using other such catch phrases.

Getting him as a director was probably the worst thing to happen as we were under pressure to deliver stuff quickly all the time, and we’d then have to rework most of the shit because of missed requirements, or tools used not being insufficient for the task at hand etc. He was okay with it though, because “we delivered (shit) quickly”, and “our efficiency went up as indicated by the team velocity charts”.

Pretty much the entire team had left the company in ~1.5 years, and customer satisfaction metrics were in the gutter when I left.

I don’t know if he misunderstood “bias for action” and implemented it badly or if that’s genuinely how people at Amazon operate, but I won’t even think of joining AWS. Fuck that noise.

What’s the extension for nice backgrounds on new tabs?

Are you completely incapable of communicating without resorting to personal attacks?

Do you know how many scams happen because it’s ridiculously easy for anyone to edit the “knowledge” panel? I’d rather click an extra button and get the real number from the business’ own website than trust whatever is on Google.

“You’re not this obtuse are you?” – uncalled for, but, I guess you are who you are. So, you do you, buddy.

…and the website should have all that information, right?

What did namecheap do? I’ve got a bunch of domains with them. 🤦‍♂️

50% for 20 million sounds insane to me. I’d be clamoring for 75% or more. I’m in Ontario and people making something like 250000 CAD already have a marginal rate above 50% IIRC. Before anyone calls me a lazy commie, my marginal rate is in the mid 40s already, and I’m happy to do my part.

Honestly, the terminal is probably not going to be that hard to use for you. Considering that you’re on lemmy, you’re probably ahead of the curve in tech skills. Maybe don’t go picking something in the deep end like arch though.

/j I use arch btw.

Thanks!

Can you even create an account on ddg? What data do they have on you?

Not being argumentative, I’m genuinely curious.

What’s “wm”?

I can’t tell of that community is a joke or a mental health issue.
