Too many non-working holidays in America
  • The worst part is... If you've ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you'll notice just how unproductive they are.

    Obviously the two are closely connected, but it's always fascinating to me

  • How is your Linux Adventure going?
  • I switched around 7-8 years ago and pledged to stick it out despite any annoyances.

    About a year later I needed to use windows for a job and found it incredibly annoying to use. So much of it is just what you are used to.

    These days I love gnome and tend to use OpenSUSE or Fedora

  • Eurovision Broadcaster Muted Sounds of Crowd Booing and Shouting “Free Palestine!”
  • That's basically it.

    A famous example was a few years back when Electric Callboy wasn't even invited to the national finals for selecting the song because the selection committee knew they would win but "didn't feel the song was fit for radio"

  • Let them eat starlink!
  • Romania probably.

    They went hard on fiber investments a decade or two ago and now they have some of the world's best internet.

    Last I checked you could get 10 Gbit for around 12€

  • Extremely hard even for a experienced engineers to find a job?
  • To be honest, I wasn't fully aware of it at the time and had been targeting a different country-specific program. For this other program I had checked that I fulfilled the requirements and put something like "eligible for program" on my CV. This seemed to help, since I got a lot of responses and we generally discussed this aspect in interviews.

    Ultimately though, after getting a job offer, my current company found out about the Blue Card program and we decided together that it was the easiest path. For my country (Austria) the requirement was basically that you had a job offer which paid over the national average, which is pretty typical in tech.

    I think a lot of companies aren't aware of all of the different options, so making them aware of these can't hurt!

  • Extremely hard even for a experienced engineers to find a job?
  • I got sponsored recently through the EU Blue Card program. It's generally targeted at what would be considered 'high-skilled individuals', which may or may not be applicable to your situation.

    Although it's an EU program, each country gets to set their own requirements and these can vary quite a bit. Might be worth looking into, since if you qualify it is almost always much easier than other paths.

  • We are waiting...
  • It was the only controller I could ever play first person games with!

    Track-ball mode on the right TouchPad is just... chefs-kiss

    I love my steam deck but I'm extremely disappointed by the TouchPads compared to the steam controller

  • Why do you use the distro you use?
  • I use opensuse (tumbleweed and slowroll) because I just wanted to try it out a few years back and it mostly just works.

    If I were to reinstall today, I'd probably use fedora again, since it's much easier to use things like Waydroid.
