We call it statistics around these parts. But yeah, it’s guesswork.

Because Linux is so effective that the GPU temperature tops at 69, which is nice.

I went with Nobara because it’s pretty much Fedora + gaming related fixes. Meaning every Fedora guide out there works and Fedora on its own is pretty user friendly.

Excel, as in Microsoft Excel might be a problem. If she needs something Excel-like, the default LibreOffice stuff is very capable, but it’s not 100% compatible, really depends on what she needs. The online Office 365 thing might also be enough.

As for the Windows partition, a simple virtual machine might be enough and you don’t have to reboot the PC every time you need to open an Excel file.

Yeah, their work-the-workers-literally-to-death culture is top notch.

Yeah, that’s true, everyone thinks they want a senior where usually someone who’s not a straight up junior is more than enough. And a fast learning and motivated junior is the best you can get, IMO, though those are pretty rare as well.

I have the opposite experience, when I was doing interviews I just skipped the very obviously underskilled people (which, IIRC were in the single digits) and interviewed pretty much everyone.

For context, I’m the main architect and dev of the company I was hiring for. Most of the candidates were horrible.

The main factor, IMO, is that everyone wants good engineers but good engineers don’t change jobs that often.

Meaning most of the candidates you interview will suck in one way or another.

And everyone calls themselves “senior” nowadays.

That’s probably your social bubble. My company is currently deepthroating everything that has AI in its name. I jokingly mentioned they should rename the company to Jira&AI, the joke was not well received.

Anyway, most people I know (including me) are somewhere in the middle - not quite fans in the traditional sense, but definitely not disliking AI.

They still don’t. The analysts do and the programmers then implement it based on specifications.

Did you live under the impression that all the smart missiles, smart guns, smart everything didn’t already require programmers?

Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.

And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).

Don’t watch those, though the few I’ve watched didn’t really have that. But it wouldn’t surprise me.

But I think with kid shows it’s much more dangerous, they soak up the patterns and internalise them.

Same, I’ve been saying it for a decade that the current anti-men direction can only mean that young men will push against that and not in a nice way.

Well, guess who was right? Feminism has come all the way from something great and noble towards utter shit.

The dumb dad is fucking disgusting, it’s in pretty much every animated show for kids.

A nice “trick”: After 4 or so responses where you can’t get anywhere, start a new chat without the wrong context. Of course refine your question with whatever you have found out in the previous chat.

I’m not even gonna read it, but the 3rd pyramid is hilarious. Go on executives, just do it! See how it goes.

No, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying your claim is nonsense and if you want a proof, you can run an experiment. Do it or don’t do it, your choice. Just don’t expect people who have an experience in running an instance to agree with you.

It’s not. Go on, really run that experiment, then you’ll know for sure.

Why don’t you run an experiment? Start a Lemmy instance with those ideals!

F-Droid uses the same way to install packages as the file manager does.
