Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?
  • Fedora's always run really sluggishly for me on whatever hardware I've tried it on, so I don't recommend it in general because my personal experience with it hasn't been great.

    Even ignoring this, I'm not sure I'd recommend it for beginners due to how it tends to jump on the latest hip new software. For some users this is a massive point in Fedora's favour, but I'm not sure how much I'd trust a beginner to, say, maintain a BTRFS filesystem properly. Not to mention the unlikely, but still present, possibility of issues caused by such new software.

  • Wells Fargo fires more than a dozen employees for faking work using mouse jigglers and keyboard activity simulation
  • It’s some sort of perverse arms race built around a shared lie we all pretend we don’t know about.

    There's a lot of that when it comes to work in general. It's like it's taboo to point out that the only reason people show up to their jobs is because they get paid for it.

  • How does everyone here feel about foldable phones?
  • I think they're cool as a technical feat, but I'd be far too worried about breaking it to ever buy one. The fact that the crease is visible even on brand new devices looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

  • What surprised you most about your job?
  • How incredibly stupid the customers are.

    I guess anybody who works in any sort of customer service gets this, but I swear to god, 90% of our customers can't even fucking read - which is really bad when you work for an online retailer and most of your interactions with them are through email.

  • Texas troopers told to push back migrants into Rio Grande River and ordered not to give water amid soaring temperatures, report says
  • Religion is always socially conservative. Fiscal conservatism doesn't tend to jive with the teachings of most religions.

    The fact that they tend to vote conservative anyway may show where their priorities lie, but I wasn't lying when I said that most pastors were socialists in the early 20th century - it should be a natural consequence of believing in the teachings of Jesus.
