I'm slightly younger than that even, currently finishing up my master's but have been working as a backend dev for a couple of years.

I've learned an order of magnitude more about networking from just being in the vicinity of my girlfriend (who is a network technician) than from uni, and it's definitely already paying off.

+1 from me.

The Shield is a couple years old, but it handles everything you throw at it perfectly.

  • get SmartTubeNext to watch YouTube without ads, and it comes with SponsorBlock
  • use Flauncher for a home screen / launcher without any ads
  • Jellyfin, obviously
  • Steamlink also works perfectly
  • plus, the remote is amazing (though I would recommend to either disable or rebind the Netflix button)

Maybe. But there are third options as well - maybe if Adobe acts like you describe, and there is sufficient Linux adoption, that opens the door for an actual crossplatform competitor.

Or maybe they change their mind when not doing so costs them money.

The point is to ditch the dependency on a corporate Overlord, not to find a different daddy

No, you are right. In your situation, Linux is just not an option - yet.

I think these posts are meant for the 95% of people that use a browser, and maaaaybe a mail client on their PC.

Photoshop/Illustrator will only ever get ported if enough people have already made the move that Adobe can't afford to ignore Linux any longer.

That being said, if those requirements are just for work, what's keeping you on Windows on your private devices?

IDK. They will certainly be fine here, on earth. Even if everything else goes to shit, they will continue living in luxury.

On a spaceship / station / Mars colony though? As much as I love sci-fi, living there will be ROUGH, regardless of how rich you are.

I think it's more an ego thing: "I want to go down in history as the first human on another planet, lest I be forgotten" combined with an unhealthy dose of not giving a fuck about other people, which is kinda a prerequisite to being a billionaire in the first place.

I dont exactly like passkeys, but yes, from a technical standpoint, they do indeed solve Phishing

Ngl, being able to wear leggins is about 90% of the benefit of SRS for me.

It's been 5 or 6 years, 100% worth it.

I can recommend Grav as a flatfile CMS for those use-cases where the site is 90% static, the customer just wants to get able to sometimes update some of the content.

That's awesome. Lemmy is great, but old-school forums are just something else.

For a burst of nostalgia for at least some of you nerds (lovingly), let me add forums.spacebattles.com to the list

Anything involving US, probably no, agreed.

However, I have been on 3 flights in the past 2 years which were international (albeit inter-european) where I wasn't required to show my ID even once.

Just thought it's kinda funny :D
