Why use ansible for configuration? It's an arbitrary DSL that doesn't scale beyond apt install xxx

So when people talk about napping like this, do they ever actually "fall asleep"? I cannot possibly imagine falling asleep in 15m in the middle of my work day or whatever.

Why is traditional = non AI? What if I move to cybersecurity or embedded software? This is a really weird choice of words.

ffs smaller please... i feel like they're getting bigger just to keep up the specs game (bigger battery, better cameras, etc)

Not just religion but maybe Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

why?

which do you recommend? maybe I get one as a toy project at first...

Curious how/why can they do that hypothetically?

- I recently bought a monitor and plugged it in. Sound stopped working until I rebooted. Figured it out easily with pavucontrol of course (just toggling things) but only after reboot. Annoying but fair enough.

- Connecting/disconnecting monitors is flaky, sometimes it requires a few toggles in arandr (which already helps a lot). Maybe there is a better tool I could use?

- Some wifi networks sometimes dont' work out of the box even though I'm just using the easy nm-applet.

  - Like one friend's hotspot that I needed to use one time, didn't work and I gave up

  - Some "exotic" public wifi networks like libraries require more effort.

  - or even simple public wifi networks that simply require a web portal login (I've learned to just open nmcheck.gnome.org to access the portal easily, since accessing the default gateway IP address doesn't always work)

Obviously it's all a question of how much effort you put into it. I try to keep things as simple as possible to avoid spending time on this stuff. Would love to get any suggestions or ideas :)

Is it possible to have an i3-like experience on a modern GNOME desktop? I just really like the keyboard-based and predictable navigation between windows (no alt-tab hell). What can I do here?

I am pretty used to Debian+i3 minimal installs (arandr, pavucontrol, etc) but some things will always be a pain in the ass

You left out thousands of startups across the world. The industry is not just FAANG and not just Sillicon Valley.

I believe there is space for both working modes. You take your pick. I'll take remote working for startups in the EU.

Compared to which other industries? Not aware of any other industries pushing for remote

Yes some bigger tech companies are pushing back, but others are going all in. This industry is the prime example of remote working, even if some are going back

which ideology is that?

What kind of banks do authorization by voice?
