I'm pretty sure I also ran into this very recently in linux wayland while working with symlinked files. It would show an empty file or show the old content if you recreate the symlink or modify the file externally

I'd say LinkedIn is on a whole other level. Steer clear of it for your own health

government jobs or at state-owned companies might be your only choice.

Or maybe landing on a lucky spot of a run of the mill consultancy company where you're left at god's will until you retire. Their attrition is so high layoffs are rare, at least where I live (YMMV)

funny, windows 11's explorer has been the most infuriating experience for me over the years in all my personal and workplace machines (hangs, wont preview whatever files it decides doesnt want to, slow context menu startup, and many more) and frankly one of the reasons I've been daily driving kde+dolphin. I'd say I miss the out of the box cloud integration (you can install kio plugins but theyre not in a good state now. Dropbox have their own dolphin plugin as well), but I really couldn't care less when weighing in everything else. multimonitor support in kde wayland is just as good. Actually, its better, since you can control monitor brightness without a external program like Monitorian. wsl2 has some quirks if you're using a company VPN but overall pretty solid. Accessibility really is a pain point for linux in general

unless I misunderstood what little I know of ADHD, shouldn't these symptoms have been there all your life, not just 6 months prior? I score 4/6 on the scale without question, but I wasn't functioning like this before (maybe 2/6), only these last few years, with no change in environment or routine

Wouldn't all boot issues caused by pacman shenanigans be solved by setting up snapper or equivalent? Luckily haven't experienced one so far

The article does feel like Gemini when you ask it to explain you something in layman terms, but co-authored by chatgpt with nonsense like "without the fog".

I love the KDE ecosystem except for one very specific bug in kdeconnect in Linux where media of any kind in chrome, firefox, etc. are stopped after being paused for a while, so i have to refresh pages constantly, and pray the previous timestamp was preserved.

Apart from that, the DE and configuration options are miles away from windows 11 to be honest, and will probably go the KVM+passthrough route when I upgrade my desktop to keep Windows for CAD work, etc. Even Windows' Explorer is egregiously clunky nowadays and will break features like previews on its own and hang all the time.

Maybe I'm using my phone wrong, but the mobile experience was barbaric and stopped reading

Like the author, I find myself going more for cross-platform Python one-offs and personal scripts for both work and home and ditching Go. I just wish Python typechecking weren't the shitshow it is. Looking forward to ty, pyrefly, etc. to improve the situation a bit

I have the same issue plus unnecessary refactorings (that break functionality). it doesn't matter if I write a whole paragraph in the chat or the prompt explaining I don't want it to change anything else apart from what is required to fulfill my very specific request. It will just go rogue and massacre the entirety of the file.

My current approach has been setting GOBIN to a local project bin via direnv and go installing bins there. install commands themselves are cached by me with a naive checksum check for the install script itself when I run my commands. Therefore all `go install`s run in parallel if I edit the install script, and go decides what to reinstall or not. At this point I don't feel it's worth migrating to `go tool` having this setup, we'll see when it's stable
