That’s one way to learn lock picking I guess

There is. EndeavourOS fundamentally is Arch Linux. You could replicate the exact thing by installing Arch, adding the EOS repos for their utilities, and setting it up to be the same.

Manjaro diverges from Arch in that package versions and the time of updates are manually controlled. This means the project is generally not using the same software as an up-to-date Arch system.

Manjaro promises to be more stable like this, however their approach can lead to compatibility issues with AUR packages, which generally assume up-to-date Arch. It also kinda goes against the philosophy of Arch to invest time in extensive system tests. These issues are why many Arch users don’t particularly like Manjaro

He used to be, but he has become surprisingly chill from what I’ve seen. Maybe it’s just coincidence, but I’m under the impression that “no compiler warnings” thing, as well as the introduction of C11 and Rust played a role in that. In all three instances he made an open minded decision, all of them after he realised he was wrong on numbers one and two

I’m sure laptops with only 1 NVMe slot exist, but you can just not buy them

Ice coffee (🍨+☕) or iced coffee (🚮)?

I seriously wish there was something better to avoid leftovers. Brushes and whatever this shit is do not seem very sanitary to me, and for sure it’s annoying you have to use them at all. Can’t they do some durable coating and direct the water to hit shit with higher pressure? I feel like there is next to zero innovation in the toilet industry

Girl? Do you even Linux?

I won’t go into details, but let’s put it this way: I think what I’m doing will offend french press owners more than a paper filter.

I mean

broadly gestures at everything

I put ground beans in, pour hot water on them and start pressing pretty much immediately. How freakin strong do you need your coffee to wait for 4 whole minutes?

I heavily support not talking about politics 24/7, I heavily discourage not caring at all

The problem is not public arguments, but groups rejecting other groups for ideological reasons. I personally know people who are like “you can be a communist, or you can be wrong”.

The reality is that there are left groups, especially far-left groups, who will already dismiss your opinion on everything for not categorically rejecting a (social) markets economy. Doesn’t matter if you agree in all other points.

Wait till you realise the size of SSD sectors

*The only, kinda

Afaik most people who seriously want to have a local LLM start of off a pre-trained one from the internet…?

I think the main complaint is that it seems like Canonical is trying take control of Linux packaging. Don’t they handle their stuff in a way that pretty much prevents third party ‘Snap Stores’? Like, their backend being closed source and their software only accepting their own signatures?

All but 5 look like cheap crap and I don’t like 5 for forks sake

Let me tell you a couple things about PhDs in CS:

• Research is highly competitive, avoid if don’t have ambition or can’t handle constant pressure
• Some (most) jobs do not require PhDs, but most will care about practical experience and age
• Research is a lot of work. If you want a peer group, you work 40h a week, then peer review stuff for your buddies. You will need buddies, because you need peer reviews too of course
• (As you already mentioned) at least until you have your PhD, pay is between bad and insulting

If you do have the ambition to land a top-tier position in the end, maybe even stay and compete in research, go for it. If you love doing research, go for it. If you just want the title, just don’t. Go work somewhere. Best case they offer a PhD programme at the company or you can earn certificates and whatnot
