Or you could remember Ctrl+Shift+N, which also creates a new folder in the current directory

I think they store the data about the files in a database, but the files are in a folder structure.

Doesn’t make sense to have data that could be a few gigabytes in a database, or maybe that’s just me.

I personally don’t use Photoshop but was using it as an example. You could fill in the blank with other tools like AutoCAD, MS Office, QuickBooks/Quicken, etc.

I think there are two major hurdles keeping Linux adoption back (besides the obvious installation bit). The first is that our backwards compatibility is terrible. It is easier to get old versions of Windows software to run in Wine than it is to get some old Linux software to run natively.

If something like Photoshop did finally release a Linux version, even if they only did one release to make 2% of people happy, it likely wouldn’t be able to run natively after 5 years.

The second is a good graphical toolkit. Yes, GTK and Qt exist, but neither are as simple as WinForms or SwiftUI/Aqua.

Are you red-green colorblind?

You get a silver star for trying. This article is just too much for AI to re-write.

“Technically correct” is the best form of correct. Though having tried setting up Wireguard in the past, having a dead-simple solution like Tailscale might be worth trying it out, especially with the 100 device free tier

IoS - internet of shit

With the enshittification of streaming platforms, a Kodi or Jellyfin server would be a great starting point. In my case, I have both, and the Kodi machine gets the files from the Jellyfin machine through NFS.

Or Home Assistant to help keep IOT devices that tend to be more IoS. Or a Nextcloud server to try to degoogle at least a little bit.

Maybe a personal Friendica instance for your LAN so your family can get their Facebook addiction without giving their data to Meta?

I haven’t used Tailscale myself, but it seems like it’s basically just a Wireguard frontend.

Are you sure its removing those packages and not updating them?

I’d recommend finding some FOSS projects to contribute to so that you can stay sharp and also add stuff to your resume. Plenty out there that needs worked on, and not all of it can be done by people working full time at another job.

What’s your degree in?

I would say one of the few downsides Kdenlive has is the lack of the premade templates. I feel like there’s gotta be a site out there for those premade templates that us hobbyists can download and use, but hopefully they’ll just bake that in directly in the future.

The other issue I have is the effects plugins aren’t always up-to-date, so not all plugins work with the latest version.

You might have been thinking Steam gaming. Mac was at ~5% and has dropped to ~2%

Linux is great about providing that feeling of discovery. New tools, new processes, new paradigm… It’s the best way to breathe new life into an old piece of hardware.

If this is your first major step, congratulations! If you’re a regular, great job, keep it up; eventually you’ll be a grey beard with the rest of us.

Damn, that was insanely fast, quadruply so compared to Nouveau

Before you perform another task on that hard drive, try photorec. You might be able to get a majority of your files back if they’re important

This once happened to me, thankfully for only a few hours rather than days. I woke up one morning to a fwipping noise in my ear, went to the bathroom to see if I could flush it out with water, and a spider just dangled on a line out of my ear.

It was strange, but not really scary. Jumping spiders are harmless to humans, and this one was only a millimeter or so big.

I know the conversation is on another site, but I have an account here, not over there.

The CTO is an asshat and the project manager should talk to HR and a company lawyer, as others have pointed out, because of the legal binding contract the employees signed when they were hired that said nothing about being on call.

You then don’t force all your engineers to be on call–forcing people who tend to be introverted and on the spectrum are usually better not talking to clients–but offer a bonus to those who agree to be on call.
