You should use Arch, btw

Part of being a developer is solving your problems and reduce complexity in a very complex field. So I guess when you want to be a good dev, most of that is part of your learning experience.

To your skills. I may suggest do what you like to do. Wanna tinker with Linux and systems? C/C++ or Rust may be a good start. Webdev? Have a look at typescript. Or just do some stuff in python (it’s really fun)

If you do not know what you like. No problem, just play around with stuff and find out what you like.

If you get stuck on something, THEN is moment to reach out for help. You hardly will have to pay for advice, there is always a helpful hand if you can describe what your problem is.

If you do so, what you shouldn’t please write one unit test, failing as long that flag is set.

The opposite to conservative is progressive, not liberal

Apps looking odd or not is the job of the main drawing framework.

Qt themes are able to draw GTK but GTK can not draw Qt actually proves my point.

Switching the UI framework sounds like a massive refactor.

Qt is by far the better framework. This could also be a chance to implement a super UI/UX, it could also be a complexity hell. I will have a look at the project, let’s see if the outcome wil be a better product.

Fortunately valve did not use the System Manjaro provides. This would have been a very stupid business decision.

StreamOS is plain Arch

Haha for me it’s totally different. I accepted my side projects will never be the new Facebook or Google. But I am quite confident I can do really good stuff on work. So there is where my power kicks in.

Sometimes is it worth to rethink the problem. Especially when your condition is based on set-members. Using quantor logic often simplifies the condition :

return 
    any(x for x in X if x==condition_a) 
    or all(y for y in Y if y==condition_b) 
    and all(x for x in X if x==condition_c)

I am not sure if JS has something similar, but this often helps by a lot

How did you just call my butt?

Ubuntu tries to be baught from Microsoft. They need one centralized (unfree) way of income to get money out of their customers. This is the reason for snap, their proprietary AppStore.

Tldr? Leave you fools. Leave!

If gitlab would Design some sort of anal plug. This is how it would look like

Try it out on your own system.

:(){
 :|:&
};:

It’s totally possible

The second one is very valid. Please do not waste my time without having a prove about your functionality.

Thunderbird

I mean you can (client side). But the protocol is agnostic of any encryption.

Really? Am I the only one: “just” fixing this one thing before go home?

I would say there are two types of devs.

The HACKER MAN knowing everything, always have the only solution and being boss in their realm

The DAUBTER thinking they know too less, always searching for the best solution for the problem and trying to get as many information to solve the problem as possible

Even having the imposter syndrome as a big problem for mental health. I genuinely have the opinion it makes the better devs.

Xmpp is not encrypted. So sorry but without that, your sentence makes no sense at all.

Sabayon. It worked perfectly till I tried to update some stuff 💣

This was one the most stable and at the same time the most unstable distribution I ever tried.
