I respect the fuck out of Brolund. He was giving press conferences between firefighting shifts, while also himself being evacuated.

Not sure how this thing will compete when there are mini PC's like the Beelink SER7 out there.

Can you explain what "breaks" you are experiencing?

I'm running Fedora/KDE/Wayland on two machines here, and the only oddity I get regularly is on my system with one monitor in landscape and one in portrait. Sometimes half of the landscape screen seems to be funky until I turn the portrait monitor off and on again (almost like it is trying to put the two displays on one for some reason). Most everything else has been flawless.

The different repos and bad reputation was my point 😉

If you didn't want to try Arch due to instability, Manjaro is a funny choice. I was mostly kidding, anyhow.

I’ve previously been against trying Arch due to instability issues such as the recent GRUB thing.

But you used Manjaro? 😂

Go for it. If you use archinstall, it is incredibly simple to get up and running. The difficulty around Arch is quite overblown except perhaps when talking about people brand new to Linux. Even without archinstall, you are just following a guide in the wiki.

I use a VPS from RackNerd for all kinds of things (my personal Lemmy, for one). Have had it for two and a half years or so with no complaints.

Who is in the wrong? Your manager, for not giving you time to refactor? Or you for giving him the option?

True, but he mentions .NET development is Windows first, and even mentions that you have "some IDE's that work with it, like Rider". He kind of said it without mentioning the specific IDE.

Rider is the real MVP anyways.

Ah yes, I see. Thanks for the link!

Sidewalk is (to my knowledge) only used by Amazon devices.

My point was more that Amazon advertised a system where if you didn't have internet, don't worry, you can use a neighbours. The current system is all opt in. The issue is that these major companies have never minded hiding other technology or its uses from the end user. We believe we can just block the device from the internet, but it is entirely possible that some of the TV's of today have similar systems to sidewalk (or even just cell connectivity) built right in.

Let's not forget when Google nest security systems sold in 2017 received an OTA update (in 2019) to be able to use voice commands (oops, did we not mention there were microphones in the device you bought?)

I'm not saying everyone needs to slap a tinfoil hat on. I'm just saying that while I also block these devices from the internet, it really feels like any day now things will become more difficult than that (possibly in devices we already own)

This used to feel true until Amazon Sidewalk happened.
