  • I found my current group of friends on meetup.com. You have to actively search, because your people are not at those parties, or bars, or other typical social situations. But book clubs, libraries, hobby clubs, even if you aren’t super interested in the topic, just go join whatever you can find and try it out.

    The people you are looking for are out there, they are just harder to find.




  • I know what you mean. I’m not a programmer, but I administer a SaaS system that involves various programming languages, and I have taught myself VBA to better automate some of the adjacent excel-based processes.

    Due to market pressures the company has reduced staff somewhat, which puts more pressure on the rest of us to get more done quickly. There’s a bunch of other boring details that I won’t share here, but they are all similar. This all has led me to be using LLMs in various parts of my job at an alarming rate. I just can’t keep up otherwise.

    I don’t feel like this is a bad way to work in theory, but it’s all moving WAY too fast, and that seldom works out well.











  • I have been using bazzite for a while, and I’m quite happy with it, especially in the respect that it just does not break, ever.

    But not can it be frustrating sometimes to install things that have no flatpak or appimage.

    That being said, there are a lot of ways to get around this, homebrew and distrobox, etc. And its also not something the deva are sound wrong, it’s just part of the deal with immutable distros. Will frustrating at times though.
