Using the latest Ubuntu lts is company policy if you want to use Linux. All support for x11 is removed from gnome, you can't even change x11 anymore. I switch workspaces all the time, like web browser in one, dev env and terminal, so constantly switching, 50% of the time it will miss the key up event from your keyboard and it's registering that you are holding the key down.

Gnome randomly crashes, for instance sometimes clicking on a link that someone sent you, just randomly crashes gnomes, happened yesterday. So all the processes you started via gnome is gone, you need to reopen all your tools again, happens at least 6 times a week.

Sometimes gdm doesn't work, so you can't login, you have to open another tty and reset gdm in the other session. It's so bad, never had these issues before in x11, sure there were bugs, but not annoying bugs.

Driver issues or not, it's annoying as fuck. Gnome developers (redhat or whoever sells support for gnome) implementing the display server, gg.

The gnome implementation that I'm forced to use is god damn awful. This whole eventbus implementation is so bad, it misses events and doesn't always register key-up, when I'm switching workspaces. I do it a lot, and the key gets stuck spamming the same letter, because it didn't register key up!! Hell sometimes it doesn't register keydown, super annoying when writing passwords.

Random crashes of gnome happens more often than I would like to admit, and all that you've been working on is gone aswell. What a garbage design, why the fuck should the wm own the processes, I swear the wayland people live on a another planet.

And the whole permissions thing to ensure privacy, mf this is linux, stop making me do workarounds for shit that you won't allow, because you haven't implemented the correct support for it.

I'm running Ubuntu 24.04, thing fucking sucks, I'm forced by work. Dude x11, just worked, like Wayland solved anything at all.

"For training purposes", do you know how many other purposes they have? For research, for improvement, for genuine interests, for selling, for people who can't read between the lines.

There are actually companies (very few) that work with migrating large cobol code bases to java, in a automated manner. And it costs a lot, hundreds of millions and it takes a couple of years. They ensure that the cobol and java execution is doing the same thing. So it works, but it's shit. Many do this because it's hard to find cobol developers and the cost of IBM mainframes.

Anyways the code turns into cobol style in Java, horrible and hard work with, would never like to maintain it.

It's all a bunch of bullshit, that is designed to make it seem like it isn't a crazy idea.

"Yeah that is right, the Canadians can vote too, it's still a democracy".

Yes, us enterprise where business have the same rights as humans, the country that by keeping people stupid and uneducated, elected Donald Trump. No Canada is not all gonna be infected with thugs and corporate cronies, they will have states and can vote.

It's not Amazon where they will ship the product when you order it, manufacturers usually don't have massive stock piles and it might already be a long order queue. And if everyone is gonna buy, well then the price will increase, its better to invest the money in local production and infrastructure

Yeah right, by your History, you mean: Germany will not acknowledge any genocide, because they are trying to evade paying reparations for the genocides they committed in parts of Africa.

Art is subjective, AI is a buzzword, if statements are considered AI, especially in the gaming world.

And the current state of LLMs and what are the smartest and brightest in the industry have only managed to produce utter trash, while sacrificing the planet and its inhabitants. I like your daughter more, she will create more value and at the same time not be a total corporate tool, ruining the planet for generations to come, mad respect.

(not calling you a tool, but people who work with LLMs)

I understand that are trying to be nice, but it's kinda rude tbh. Because you are making it seem like the problems they have aren't actually real. They might not have an alternative nightclub to go to because all of them are shit, or they can't go to another nightclub.

Yeah they launched amazon in Sweden a few years ago, I don't know anyone at all that buys anything from Amazon. We have better alternatives, thank God for that.

We recently migrated our code base to GH and from Jenkins to GH actions. And I can't say that it's any better, just more confusing. Shit was much more simpler on bitbucket server with Jenkins. Never realized GitHub was slow until today, loading pages takes like a second.

My favorite code repository in terms of layout (not functionality) is still gitblit. Looks simpel and easy to read the commit log because that is the first you are shown when navigating in a repository, no PR support though.
