Here’s my favourite picture of her.

Naming your chatbot Arya(n) is a red flag

Just use Kotlin

I’ve gotten all my friends hooked on OpenTTD multiple separate times

Don’t get into business with a narcissist. If you don’t figure out they’re a narcissist until after the business has started, bail or kick em out.

But was the code they wrote substantially identical to yours? Was what they claimed credit for your work just modified, or did they write an entirely new port that only bears resemblance?

If its the latter, you got the exact amount of credit you deserved. I’m not going to argue that their conduct was professional (though, neither was yours), but they don’t have any obligation to credit you further.

When I was looking a couple years ago Ubuntu Touch was by far the most developed and stable. Primarily because Canonical poured millions of dollars into its development before giving it up and dropping it, but the community has gone a long way to make it what it is today.

Probably not a popular choice on this community though.

Adding onto this, in cryptography this field of study is called “Biometric Failure Rates” (at least it was called that in my beginner course). A good introduction would be this article.

Also, while the applications I use can be installed on other platforms, they’re only supported on Ubuntu.

I’m pretty happy using Ubuntu. Its got a decent UI and works well enough with little fuss. As much as I enjoy tinkering, I use my Ubuntu machines for work and I really only need something simple that works out of the box.

One job I was fired from and rehired within the day, after they quickly realised that I was their only Android developer and they couldn’t build an app with just hopes and wishes. They fired me again later, which they quickly regretted since I was the only one with the signing key (meaning they couldn’t update the app).

Companies are always going to make shitty changes, but that doesn’t change the reality that industry leaders are usually in that position for a reason. You simply cannot replace After Effects without kneecapping yourself. GIMP is nowhere near as capable as Photoshop. It is impossible to develop iOS apps without Xcode, and difficult/unsupported to develop Android without Android Studio.

You can piss off your high horse as much as you want, but it is fantastical to claim that professions should hamstring their work and sacrifice reality and practicality for the sake of some ideology belief. Companies aren’t choosing these standards because they love giving away money, they’re doing it because they recognise that rejecting a $300 annual expense for $10,000 worth of greater productivity is financially irresponsible.

Ah, the James Damore archetype of an engineer. I bet they get wet dreams imagining themselves as the Howard Roark of programming (and just as delusional).

I love it! The shine is great. I like it without the beard colour, adds contrast

You look like you were born to have blue hair!

My preferred one is Withings one’s. They’re hybrid watches which means they largely have a regular watch face with a little screen and a heart rate sensor/gyroscope. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

I think Zorin’s approach makes sense for people who don’t want to learn a new interface and don’t have a lot of technical experience. GNOME does generally already have a good interface, but I think a lot of non-technical people wouldn’t understand (or want to understand) stuff like shell extensions and GNOME tweaks.

I don’t think I would switch to it anytime soon, but I could imagine it being used in a university.
