  • I’m a devops engineer, so I understand Linux well. I actually used exclusively Linux all throughout university.

    Linux works just as good as windows for 98% of my uses cases. And for the 2% that it doesnt, I can probably figure out how to get it to work or an alternative.

    But honestly, I usually just don’t want to anymore. After working 8 hours, I’m very seldom in the mood to do more debugging, so I switch to Windows more and more frequently.

    If this is my experience as someone who understands it, most normies will just fuck off the moment the first program they want to run doesn’t.








  • I swear sometimes it feels like capitalism is the boogeyman behind everything with some people.

    This has nothing to do with late stage capitalism and everything to do with how cheap compute is becoming. Fact is that it’s just much more convenient to have everything in a managed cloud. You don’t need to manage your own servers, take care of maintenance, upgrades, etc. This removes a fuckton of overhead from your organization.

    I’ve been part of on prem to cloud transitions at 3 different companies, and I saw the benefits firsthand. You can replace entire departments, and the contract your signing means you’re protected against pretty much any fuckup from the provider’s side.

    Not to mention, I guarantee Microsoft’s cloud is more secure than 99.9% of the server rooms it replaced.



  • Same. I played a lot of WoW. I was a US top 5 raider in MoP/WoD. I wrote guides on icy-veins and WoWHead.

    Then even though I quit at the start of Legion, I’ve stuck around in the community and occasionally still post/contribute, but it’s getting rarer and rarer the more the game moves on without me.
