  • I’m splitting hairs by defining modern as an electronic device whose design was copied in essence by all future makers.

    The essence of every vape is to move hot air through the herb. In that regard it doesn’t matter how you heat it, so the chalice beats it out.

    As for the specific technology, aren’t the only designs that copied it in essence volcano like bag desktops? A tiny fraction of modern devices pushes air.

    Now compare that to the majority of modern vapes, from dyna and terpcicle, over ball vapes, to electric conduction and convection. All of them move the hot air by having the user draw it, just like the steam chalice.





  • Ok, except I did predict it. It turns them both into strings and gives you “12”. I checked it.

    I would assume [1] + [2] would give you either 0 or 2, but maybe “12”.

    I can totally predict the future like that. Tomorrow it might rain, it might not, or it might snow. Want me to predict your future for a small donation? Here’s a small teaser: tomorrow you might or might not eat breakfast.

    My mystical powers lay the creation bare before me, all is predictable!




  • They invented a solution to sell user data to Amazon, does that count?

    They also have a bunch of knock-off products like canonical aws, canonical terraform-ansible, canonical k8s, etc.

    This isn’t a decade ago, when Ubuntu was … leagues more generally user friendly than most other distros.

    It was crap a decade ago that’s why everyone was already installing mint, and only slightly less crap almost 2 decades ago. I installed Linux for the first time around 2006, and Ubuntu was no different than one of the first versions of opensuse. The whole “Ubuntu is for beginners” hype was literally all due to them sending free install CDs.


  • one of the most popular linux desktop environments and distros

    Oh you mean the DE they abandoned almost 10 years ago?

    Is selling user data to Amazon and harvesting data illegally from Azure VMs not enough for users to tell them to stick their terminal ads up their ass? I don’t think that’s unfair.



  • Definitely take everything I write with a grain of salt, as it might have no relevance to your job market.

    If you’re just tired of living paycheck to paycheck, I don’t think those certs will solve anything. Afaik they can only get you a tech support, or maybe some entry level network engineering job. Over here you’ll make more money doing construction, and the only upside of a tech support job is that you’ll be sitting in a chair instead of breaking your back.

    A few years down the line, you might be able to transition into better paid roles, but those fields are already quite saturated, and I’ve been seeing more and more companies requiring technical degrees even for junior roles. I know a few people who’ve been doing tech/customer support, and the closest someone came to moving up was getting stuck with managerial duties without any pay increase.

    On the other hand, in the EU at least, while the whole IT market is quickly getting oversaturated, skilled blue collar work is only getting more expensive due to a lack of workers. For example my cousin has a CS PhD, he founded and built up a dev outsourcing company, and he makes less per hour than the tiler he hired to redo his bathroom.

    And I don’t see that trend changing any time soon. Competent workers are getting close to retirement, and the new generations aren’t interested in replacing them.


  • From what I remember it went like this, but I stopped following his crap years ago

    • sees an error message, doesn’t read it
    • starts pasting random shit into the terminal
    • breaks the system
    • Fuck Linux, it’s not ready for use
    • after the Linux community has a meltdown, someone points out to him that he’s an idiot, but in a gentle way you’d tell your boss
    • tries again, gives up again
    • films another video on how windblows just works, while he, a certifiable tech genius, couldn’t get it to work

    Truly “a force for Linux adoption”.
