16 is steep, at 14 I was going around by bus a lot, having google maps to track when, what and where the bus is stopping would have made an enormous difference (this is a big city, changing route due to delays is possible). I wish I had it. (I had a normal phone, smartphones didn't exist yet)

I was navigating a big city and the surrounding countryside at the age of 12 before the internet was a thing. Apps and phones are not necessary for exploration.

Possibly reworded by llm. It would make sense for sensitive communication

I have been working from home for the last 20 years, that's the entirety of my work life.

Lack of social interaction has not been a problem, I either had them digitally and later on, my wife works from home with me.

No office, thanks.

Providing an ID from the client is a big advantage that's missing though. Especially if you want a UI with optimistic rendering that's dealing with something async

Happy 1080p poweruser and gamer here.

I get to spend less and still play any game at max, and I can actually run 2 instances of some heavy games for local coop using Nucleus (Nightreign specifically).

I use Niri as my desktop environment on linux, zero need for 4k. My screen is 27'' since 8 years ago when i bought it

To be fair,nobody knows the answer yet.

Right now, software dev jobs are still there and valuable. In 5 years, who knows?

Could you expand? I never understood why this was considered acceptable, how is windows filesystem so slow compared to linux?

I am familiar with the issue, doing any sort of ruby development is a nightmare on windows because each require loads a file becoming increasingly slow at boot time

WSL2 operates through a file-level translation layer, not unlike NFS in Linux, which can be a huge performance problem for programs that manipulate lots of tiny files, like git or npm.

Programs that manipulate lots of tiny files are a performance nightmare on Windows even leaving aside the issue of WSL2.

git and npm install are somewhat slower on vanilla Windows, true, but on WSL2 they're downright unusable

Isn't Garuda an arch distribution? It could be that (less common, so more issues). Running SteamOS likely has better chance of running games, but yeah the linux experience is not streamlined at times (but it is functional!)

SteamOS is also an Arch distribution, though I'm not sure how significant the changes are. AFAIK Lutris uses Ubuntu's libraries for better compatibility across distributions, maybe Steam does something similar.

kinda, SteamOS is an arch distribution but it's locked down by default (you can access stuff) and it's run by the company selling games on PC, so they make it work. On a normal arch distribution, you have to deal with installing dependencies yourself, so more of a pain.

They keep digging their grave, looks like

Doesn't that end up being toxic at that scale?

It certainly can be!
