I tried to always use AMD, 386SX33, 486DX4/100, Duron 1000, Athlon XP 2200, then went a laptop life with Intel, but since COVID/WFH I went back to AMD, I have a 5600H in a miniPC
I need this, my local dollar store sells 32GB USB2 key for $5, I have one for MX, MX-AHS, MX32bits, antix, etc I have multiple 32GB keys with just 1 or 2 GB used, I will check this ventoy!
My company is using some tool to generate those kinds of false scam emails every few weeks, so I created a rule in Outlook that if the header contains the word "gophish", it put a label "lol phishing" on it, so I know to just delete them...
In France you had to write your cover letter by hand, because they study your writing, the shape of letters, the height of your b and d, the loop, etc. They also with your DOB check some numerology and astrology too. You must include your picture too, it's the first filter they apply, your face.

It was the same for I guess Google, 15 years ago I'd have apply for a job there, now? no. Right now I'd not apply to everything Musk, Meta, Google, MS, IBM, HP, etc. It does not work. small company, max 100 people, are better.
Same, March 2020, in 2020-2022 I never went to office not even one day. 2023 got another contract for a year, went there 3 or 4 times in the year to take/bring back some hardware I needed for development. 2024 new remote job 500kms away, go there 2 days every 10 weeks, stay at hotel, they pay.
The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.
In great Montreal area it's more and more enormous, condo 1000sqft+, thousands of them, that people cannot buy because they are too expensive, I don't understand the system
Sweden is infamous for having some of the highest taxes in the world, and yet the country's tax agency is still one of Sweden's most trusted institutions....
Same in Canada, at least Quebec, 50% of my taxes go in health care system, I have no family doctor, all doctors are millionaires, nurses make 100k+, people dies in ER after 48h waiting
Education system is a joke. Teachers earn 100k+ too
For me it was a video of a big fat Hawaiian guy in a pool or something, I saw it for years, hundreds of time, in my "recommended feed". I now know this is a singer, Israel, but I never ever clicked on the thumbnail, and it always came in my feed, I never knew why, after a few years it disappeared I guess the algorithm has a limit of 2000 print per user or something? At one time it said "ok, this user will not watch it, let's bother someone else for middle-aged healthy ad" ?
Being Europeans, it's funny to read amtrak stories, in France/Europe there is TGV since 1981, going 200mph, and now about everywhere. It's incredible to read your stories, it looks like 1880

MX, always based on latest Debian, is using sysVinit, but you can also boot with systemd if you want, it supports both. MX is pretty popular, simple, fast, Xfce by default, and very up to date on everything. I’m using it for 6 years now, on laptop, PC. Also maybe it’s me, but no flatpak, no snap, etc, not needed, for instance latest FF is a standard .deb
Incredible, I started with a ZX81 (it was using a Z80) in 1981, then moved to a CPC6128 in 1984, still using a Z80, I learnt assembler on it, cracking games, etc, good memories :)
I guess about everyone (kids/teens) know how to tie their shoes, but something I saw in the last 10 years or so, kids, especially in big towns, does not how to ride a bike. I’ve seen teens who never rode a bike and don’t know how.

Senior dev here, and dark theme is the best, really, how could we used white as shit screens/IDE before is beyond me. Everything is dark theme here. Using dual 27" 4K (in Linux, using 120DPI for fonts), lot of spaces, readable, smooth fonts

From what the guy saw, it looks like what I saw in some campground in Myrtle Beach, SC. Full of quite obese men, strangely a lot of veterans/fire fighters, wearing family/faith/gun/constitution t-shirt, with their 100k trucks and 100k fifthwheel (with obligatory NRA member sticker on it), with 12ft trump flags on their pole, talking loudly, etc. competing each other on the bigger RV, places they went to, etc.
But they talk to us, the plebs with pop-up campers, they are often quite nice, just don’t talk politics/abortion/religion with them :)
I use Arch Linux, and some apps require me to use Windows. I have tried to get Wine working, but it’s just too much of a hassle. If the only goal of my virtualization setup is to run something like Adobe apps (I’m not doing any gaming on it), will Virtualbox or virt-manager be the quick and easy choice for me? I have tried...
I used VMware or vbox for 10+ years, or HyperV in Windows.
Lastly in Linux I needed a windows XP install for an old program, I tried QEMU and after booting the install iso, I just created a small script to launch my installed image with some parameters I needed for serial port, and that’s it.
I like QEMU, and will try to use it for any VM now.
