Yes, of course.

But it would be a great motivator if they actually bothered to relocate you in case you showed remarkable performance and added value to the company.

"We just want someone to work for cheap without prospect of progress" tells me that job will have a low ceiling for someone that wants to progress further their career

As a web developer, I would really like to get involved in Open Source software and give back to the community a bit.

But the amount of options is overwhelming tbh, and the skills needed for open source projects are far from the backend API's the industry usually needs.

I had an interview a few days ago and I asked something similar. I asked about the possibility to travel to the US to greet my coworkers and work alongside them.

They said they won't raise my salary and they expect me to stay in my region (Latin America). They also said that if I go to the US or Europe, it would be though to live there with my remote salary.

It felt somewhat insulting tbh. As if they said "we want you as disposable cheap labor, not to become a part of the company" directly upfront.

Maybe it's a joke, but a problem I see in every "open source self hosted alternative" is that people tend to underestimate how much work is to self-host everything.

It's either paid hosting like AWS, some intermediate docker-compose solution or your own personal server machine. In every case someone has to do the gritty work. It's either a paid service, a volunteering open-source contributor, or you.

Imagine getting hit by a car.

Poor car.

My entire experience with MOBAs is that people will rip you to shreds for not doing or knowing every overly specific thing people didn't know either when they had less experience.

Those checks and balances weren't in Tzarist Russia either.

I don't think that (2) is OP's fault.

Look the words up in a dictionary. It's ok not to know and to learn but you shouldn't expect everyone to adapt to your lack of knowledge.

Also, it was until 2015 where Intel was on a great streak with their processors and didn't show signs of stagnation until around 2017/2018

I5/i7's were great at that time

Also it's baffling how high the bar is for those who want to do good.

Most mainstream vendors will shit on your privacy and sell information of your entire life as a product and nothing happens to them.

But the privacy-respecting company is always a bad decision away from being crapped all over and cancelled as an option.

Today's KDE can be almost identical to a MacOS desktop, if you customize it properly.

I'm a KDE user since 2010 and a week ago I purchased an M1 Pro (hopefully to install Asahi in the future). My desktop was basically a top bar with global menu, a few widgets and Latte Dock.

If I didn't know that Mac came up with the functionality before, I would think that it is Mac that feels like a skinned KDE

Not everything is corruption and cronyism.

There are cases where the one that gets the promotion it's the one that sells themselves the most, instead of the "overengineer".

Being assertive, going straight to the solution and inspiring security is something that boosts a developer's career a lot.

Some people mistake that being a good professional is saying "yes" to everything and putting endless extra hours behind the code. And often that isn't the case.
