@Doll @Frank @Folklore @Sui @DickJohnson @Decayable @Formerly_Trucks Art is dead. Art remains dead. And we have killed it. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?
Speaking of nerd shit, did you manage to decipher Dreamer's installation instructions?

Fucking linux bros. 'Yeah, computers are great and all, but what if we made it like, I dunno, like seventy-five more steps to do literally anything? Doesn't that sound coooooool?'

> Fucking linux bros.

Yeah, let's just stick to the winderz and the macintosh OSs because it's better to have spyware that feeds the San Francisco Data Cartel than to be mildly inconvenienced by a learning curve.

@PurpCat @Decayable @DickJohnson @Doll @Folklore @Formerly_Trucks @Frank @Sui @p @ins0mniak That's why I'll probably switch to BSDs, which are mostly developed by neckbeards and 50 year olds that refused to adapt Linux back then.
@phnt @Decayable @DickJohnson @Doll @Folklore @Formerly_Trucks @Frank @Sui @p @ins0mniak The problem with the BSD/illumos family is that they don't have hardware support. You can't even download a Linux ISO because the Wi-Fi doesn't work.

Meanwhile even Windows 10/11 that ships with next to no drivers has support for Wi-Fi cards out of the box (so it can download them from WU or so you can go online to download the others from the driver site). Of course this leads to issues like if your laptop has a weird driver setup and the update keeps breaking it (I have an AMD like this), but it just werks on most modern normie laptops.
@phnt @Decayable @DickJohnson @Doll @Folklore @Formerly_Trucks @Frank @Sui @ins0mniak @p Also the other problem with Linux is, you always have "that one thing" that keeps you coming back. It could be a program. It could be a piece of hardware. While on Linux your printer might be marked as experimental and might be bitrotted (I need to test this out), Windows will still work with an EOL printer as long as it has an x64 driver, and then you can SMB share it over the network.

This is what I get for trying to casually talk shit to my Linux bros, I guess.

lol.. it may suck for gamers .. but im really not one , and find it far superior for all other use
@fknretardlol @Decayable @DickJohnson @Doll @Folklore @Formerly_Trucks @Frank @Sui @phnt @p @ins0mniak the good news is that Linux runs great especially without the wagie shitware of a Windows install (Teams, Outlook, some 2fa bullshit login, ClownStrike, etc.)

There's just one problem: you need to use Windows to work, wagie
@p @Decayable @DickJohnson @Doll @Folklore @Formerly_Trucks @Frank @Sui @fknretardlol @phnt @ins0mniak I'm glad you could escape the wage cage.

All I can find are wage cages where everyone says "bro if you work here long enough you'll eventually move up" and after 4 years of being at different cages I have come to conclude it's fake and gay.
blue collar work , you have a chance of moving up .. idk how you guys can stand office jobs
i really dont

At the very least, get certified in one of those fields. It doesn't matter if your house costs 3mil or 300k ~ if your pipes break you want the best guy. Be that guy and you'll never be out of work.

Seriously hiring people to fix stuff is for rich, busy people. I know grown men that literally don't know how to change a lightbulb.

@Frank @PurpCat @Decayable @DickJohnson @Doll @Folklore @Formerly_Trucks @Sui @fknretardlol @phnt @p On the other hand tho all the dude from high school that learned welding or plumbing are making crazy money themselves.

Higher skill trades are also sort h1b proof. It's really hard to outsource that knowledge. My company is owned by Indians and they tried but found that actually making money is more important than hiring their 200 cousins from Mumbai.

I'm not saying there aren't shitty welders just that it's still an area where you can make a go at it

@Frank @PurpCat @Decayable @DickJohnson @Doll @Folklore @Formerly_Trucks @Sui @fknretardlol @phnt @p Yeah anything like that is in demand.

I work in tech and it's a joke at this point. I hate the people I have to deal with. I honestly wish I just became an electrician so I could hack on what I want.

Meetups are just clowns with a few certs that think they're gods gift to the net or women talking about women.

Fortunatly I'm at a good spot in this point in the game but I'd def have done it different If I knew what I knew now.

Don't even get me started on most of the indians. Insufferable fucks learned javascript or whatever from youtube.

I understand. I wasted my late 20s-30s trying to get into graphics and visual communications. Got told my work was excellent but there were 10 people ahead of me with more experience and credentials. Then tried to do game dev but the team I pulled together was more about the idea than the work and it fell apart.

@Frank @Decayable @DickJohnson @Doll @Folklore @Formerly_Trucks @Sui @fknretardlol @phnt @p @ins0mniak yeah the problem is if you want to make a game you're going to attract "idea guys" who want to leech off you.

wanted to make a game back in 2017 and you get the guys who think that gaming is like those game design college ads from the 00s

>the problem is if you want to make a game you're going to attract "idea guys" who want to leech off you.

That along with the one person who wastes all of your crowdfunding on booze and does no actual work.

Just hire me as the booze guy. At least I'll be honest about it so you don't have to wonder where the money is going.
