Welp, Louisiana-stupid is now being added to my daily use. Thank you.

Genuinely curious, is there a job market for these devices and is it in .NET or something lower-level like C++?

You can get around limits with strategies like backdoor Roth IRA, also in some cases if you are the owner of the company you can have the company make distributions / contributions for you that go beyond the normal limits as well.

Ultimately, it is very much geared to benefit those that already have.

Really? Like even during substantial drops in the 2008 crisis? I'm legitimately asking because if this is true then I have some digging to do.

[–] AlecSadler 2 points 1 year ago

Sort of?

I run Visual Studio Enterprise, no, VS Code is not sufficient for some needs.

I have to edit complex PDFs in Adobe. Free, open source readers are not enough.

Even the best linux RDP or WebRTC or otherwise apps still don't seem to provide quite the same speed as RDP into windows hosts/servers.

I have to use Teams daily across multiple orgs, and the seemingly discontinued Linux support in lieu of the less-featured browser app / PWA just doesn't fly.

I've found building windows apps on Linux, while seemingly supposed to be net similar, often times do not turn out right.

Need full featured O365 to integrate with your work's O365? No go. Closest is installing edge on Linux and using the web version, which is subpar.

I hate windows, I use Linux when I can, but to say you can remove it from your life with very little effort is a blanket statement that is just unrealistic for many. To say there is no need is just off base.

Source: I use Windows, PopOS, KDE, Mint, and that apple OS thing that I hate more than Windows.

In this case, I feel it's important to push donations to Media Matters.

It isn't fair or right that the rich can just sue what they see as opposition into oblivion. I hope in this case that Media Matters or others sue/counter sue Elon and make his life extra miserable.

I get my chicken (and beef) from small, local neighboring farms, directly. I don't see the problem?

Half my CCs don't let me set transaction alerts for less than $5-$10, so a $1 or less charge would never notify me, I'd have to be actively checking it every moment of every day to see it immediately.

And yes, I have email/text alerts when possible for every. single. charge. on my CCs at the lowest threshold possible and it has helped at least three times thus far.

I'm 5'2 and do this (when I can) which is...thought provoking. I just like the feel.

I have a 2TB SSD and a 1TB SSD. My Windows VM is allocated 100GB, so it really isn't bad at all. I use VirtualBox and it starts up basically instantly.

I just realized I have an oldish laptop with Windows on it though so I'm thinking maybe I should just remote into that instead...derp

For Visual Studio Enterprise, Adobe PDF editing, native Office apps, SSMS, and RDP thin clients, I use a Windows VM.
