I think technical people should have to socialize supervised until they pass some sort of decency exam.

I’m sure all those single maintainers aren’t complaining about all their unpaid work. Not sure where that opinion even comes from, but you sure seem ready to defend it.
If you think its okay for maintainers to complain about unpaid work, then we just disagree. If your point is that most of them don’t do that, then good, that’s fantastic.
I think the way you frame it is absurd. They aren’t making things for themselves. If they were they wouldnt share it, or if they did they at least wouldnt maintain it or claim ownership over it. If devs open the door to allow outside help in, they really can’t act like they are victims when they have to socialize with other people.
The fact that you focus on compensation really shows what’s important to you anyways, and betrays the whole spirit of FOSS in my opinion.
I’m not opposed to handling bad reports in a cheeky manner, just the part that comes up constantly about them working for free. Its always used as an excuse, when I’d rather people just admit its more fun to take the piss out of someone sometimes and maybe everyone should lighten up a bit.
Again, I’m not sure its even devs themselves making the “work for free” argument themselves, as the FOSS community has many advocates who aren’t devs.
Whats with the whole obessesion on “giving their time for free”? What does money have to do with this? It always comes across as a copout, implying you cant disagree with FOSS devs because they work for free. Just because they aren’t earning money off off of it (aside from donations) doesnt mean they aren’t earning some sort of reward for their work, whether its personal or social.
Besides that, its pretty common to include that type of work on a resume, which is sort of turning that work into future earnings if it helps you get a high paying job.
I appreciate what FOSS devs do, I just hear this victim narrative come up a lot in posts about them. I’m not even sure its FOSS devs posting that type of stuff on here, it might be other people defending them.

I dont get what the pc is built for. It can’t be a gaming PC, none of the parts make sense together.
Yeah mine had switches on it to power all the peripherals too, and they lit up bright orange.

Because you can’t really ban someone from a lemmy instance. The userbase is the type of people to get around rules like that if they want.

Its more about having the option. I’d be more comfortable going to linux if I knew that there would be a way to continue using something in a pinch, even if I just need to figure out how to fix it later.

Dual booting will likely be a part of it, and microsoft will do whatever they need to make sure the bootloader is broken constantly.

Really saves a bunch of time. It seems to auto complete based on what directory you are in too which is really useful for some of the stuff I do.

Sort of, its Arch so all of the fun stuff that goes with that but they also have a package repo application that let’s you use a GUI instead. I find the CLI faster but the GUI will guide you to the correct packages a bit better than searching freehand on a browser.

Not sure if this works for you but I didnt see it mentioned. I use plex for my media server, so I would just put whatever it is on there and then someone else can log in remotely and download it through the app on their mobile, and I think also via the website too.
I know this works if the person is downloading from android but haven’t tested otherwise.

Okay can you explain why thats a sarcastic answer? Is one of those first three steps way harder than I think it is?
You can upgrade to satisfactory now! Its like factorio all growed up!
I’m sort of surprised it fit on the 120mm fan slot. Maybe they just forced screws through the grill though.
