The noise is only an issue because of how small my appartment is. I can't really isolate noise in here. I would think it also depends on which drives I get. I read that some are louder than others.

The workplace scene from Wanted comes to mind...

I'm not too keen on chosing names so I'm happy that I could

You are right but massive WFH adoption where possible would mean less commuters, less idling in trafic. Maybe even leaves space for some downsizeing of the car based infra we have, to be replaced with bike friendly or more walkable spaces/roads.

The manufacturing jobs are a tough one. It would be nice to see a shift, but not only by bringing the jobs back, but also by lifting up the exploited workers in Asia for example. It might just level the market to be competitive? I have no idea hoe it would look like, just a thouhht.

redmi note 9 pro user here. Now on LOS. The default OS is full of telemetry. Even the calculator wants you to agree to personal data being used. Would avoid unless you only want the hardware and the model you want has active community rom support.

Also the Bootloader unlocking process is a PITA. You need a xiaomi account logged in to the phone for it for 2 weeks, then they may allow unlocking the BL but only through their unlocker app that frankly sucks. You may have to sit through the wait period twice if something goes wrong. Ask me how I know.

Without context, to me it seems like you need a new colleague hired who can take some of the random work off your shoulders. This way you can be present in the oh so important meetings and focus on developing the infra.

Hey, I like the thing you linked as much as the next guy, but posting a bare link isn't going to start any conversations around the topic.

And I hate to see a link post with no comments in my feed personally.

How about you share some of what you think or ask your question so it is something worth interacting with?

Cheers

Sadly the voting with wallet approach is only a short term solution imo.

One big player makes the contraversial move, gets some flack then most people forgets. Other players later make the same moves saying this is industry standard now, since the big players are doing it.

Playing the system by workarounds, root hiding, sandboxing tools etc. Will probably work temporarily also until they figure out what people are doing to circumvent the locks.

Thanks for letting me know that, however I play games with DRM. Whatever my friends are into. And janky stuff like stalker with a bazillion mods.

I don't feel like juggling 2 OS-es in a dualboot or trying to trick DRMs into thinkig they don't just run in a VM with a gpu passthrough.

Luckly I don't have to care about ms office or adobe stuff anymore like in school so one less thing to hold me back. I work in IT where we have OK policies. So work stuff stays on work machine.

I'll give it a try at some point.

I also use open source options whenever they fulfills my needs. I am not changing to linux yet because of gaming.

I grew up relatively poor, so burning cd-s for each other and trading games was the jam when I was in school. Games I usually still pirate and even when I buy them I have already tried them to an extent, or finished them 5 times. Steam sales are a godsend for multiplayer only titles tho. I have nothing against supporting devs. But ubi, ea and those responsible for games with 0 content and giant day1 patches, season passes and all that crap can get fucked.

I rather spend that money on zero knowledge mail and vpn, maybe a donation to foss devs for things that I can't live without anymore. I need to get into the habit of donating some at least. Now that I am out of the financial danger zone.
