I’m going to guess most Sublinks contributors aren’t going to be main branch Lemmy contributors due to the language difference. It’s what’s kept me from working on main branch Lemmy as I’m pretty much useless with Rust
Yep, I’m useless when it comes to rust. I can write Java/Spring in my sleep. A big barrier to entry to Lemmy contributions is not being familiar with rust
Hulk is probably one of the biggest “What Ifs” on the grid. If Lewis had gone to Ferrari instead of Merc then Hulk would have gone to Merc. He would have then gone up against Rosberg, giving us a true idea of his pace.
Ok, but again, that’s you. Not the average consumer. The average consumer has been using windows and/or macOS exclusively for the last 20 years. They’re familiar with how the current operating systems work, and have a large number of habits, good and bad, to unlearn.
Modern Apple UI is very intuitive imo, so we’re just going to have to disagree there.
The online betting example is a good usecase for Linux, as it’s nothing more than basic web browsing. For someone who’s computer experience is turn it on, open a webpage and never leave the browser, it works (and I mentioned that in my original comment)
The problem is for the people who need to do a little more with their computer, but still aren’t what anyone would consider tech savvy. They’re going to have a much harder time with Linux than Windows/MacOS, and that’s the only perspective they’ll ever get.
The steamdeck is a weird case. I honestly find it more of a consoleOS, which have often been unix based than a full blown Linux distro. It’s still not a desktop, at the end of the day it’s a very good game console.
Damn, that was the game I was most excited for. Respawn FPS games are my favorite (TF1/Apex) and I was really interested to see what they’d do with star wars
It’s not just that. Prebuilt computers with Linux are probably the worst way to go, because the people buying prebuilt aren’t the ones who can troubleshoot their own systems, and like it or not, Linux requires significantly more and more involved troubleshooting. Windows/MacOS have abstracted that so far away from the user that most don’t even bother and just restart, because 99% of the time that fixes the problem.
I truly don’t think Linux can ever go beyond enthusiast desktops and web browsing machines. It’s such a steep learning curve where almost everything you’ve ever learned about computers needs to be thrown out and re-learned.
Mine was too. We still had a couple systems using the old methods, but mostly had moved to the token system.
You also just get laid off? They took out ~50% of the payments department at my last job
It looks like it could be photoshop, or even maybe a catfish? Nothing can be said for certain, and I’m sure every F1 journalist is pouring over it trying to validate the existance
The court was supposed to be the main arbitrator of the checks and balances, because it was initially believed that they weren’t corruptible. That’s obviously not the case, and we’re all screwed because of it
As far as I know, at least relative to their peers in the private sector. It was discussed on Reddit all the time, but it’s basically the same concept as game dev. There’s always somebody with a ton of passion ready to replace you for less money, so salaries never go up.
Add on the insane hours they work, it’s not a great deal
The engineers and staff have gotten a massive shafting by F1 with the budget cap. It’s be decent for most of the on track action, but we all know when savings are needed, the people are the first to go. F1 salaries were already abysmally low in comparison to similarly skilled engineers, and this will make sure to depress them even more
People who seek out rust are likely people who want to use rust. Java is still a huge player in enterprise dev, where a significant portion of active developers are. So not everyone using Java wants to use Java, but nearly everyone using rust wants to use rust.
