  • I’m a freelancer. Cause I had to run from my country that decided to start a war for some reason. And let me tell you - no one wants to hire a migrant from russia. So yeah, upper mentioned company won’t provide hardware for freelancers, but as alternative they do provide azure virtual desktop - which sucks and also doesn’t work on linux (due to how ms implemented auth via their token).

    I can request asylum and live on government support, will probably get a rejection in the long term tho, cause according to EU and other countries - russia clearly is a safe country to live.



  • At least in your case they didn’t give the false hope. In my case two years ago company just stated that we “enrolling in ms ecosystem”. That meant that to use your PC within company’s domain, you had to authorize it with MS account or none of sites would work. Weirdly, MS does support that not only on windows, but also on linux and MacOS. And if MacOS is simple (and supported by our tech team), linux installation is awful — it requires ubuntu lts + to install ms antivirus, that will override some system filles on top of that and will have root access afaik. Well, I don’t want company to control my personal device anyway, so I just installed win11 in qemu with tpm emulation and gpu passthrough and activated this “company account” shit there. Good luck spying on not activated bare w11 copy.

    If job market wasn’t fucked, probably would just leave instead tho.


  • That the most stupid thing I read today, thank you

    Yes, sure, dev doesn’t owns me “a solution”. Nor respect. Nor do I. So go fuck yourself.

    You don’t like that answer and you think that I should’ve keep it to myself? Well, too bad, go fuck yourself asshole, you said yourself — I or dev didn’t own you anything.

    My point (cause you probably won’t understand, otherwise you wouldn’t make that stupid statement): you own to a community basic respect. It called ethics. You don’t just shit-talk (even if veidly) user that asking for help. If you not willing to help — you free to pass that thread or ignore it. That dev didn’t helped in the slightest by being jerk.


  • I like the irony: you dislike when someone impolite in response to some dev (qa?) message, but not when dev themself being impolite to user.

    P.S. I kinda tired to be honest. In early days of 7900xtx’s driver I did helped as mush as I could in corresponding tickets and bug reports, but what the point? This evening, before monday, I just wanted to play damn game. On my damn computer. But no, I got a bug to deal with and first spotted comment is from some unhinged dev. How do you think I feel and how willing I to provide any help with debugging? Nope, I’m done. Will just downgrade and that will become someone else’s problem.
