Great. I’ve been using matrix just for myself, but our local dance group went to discord because FB was being such a pain to deal with

Technology@beehaw.org•Windows-as-a-nuisance: How I clean up a “clean install” of Windows 11 and Edge
6·2 years agoI use Linux mint on my old Thinkpad and for the most part it works great. I use Kubuntu on my desktop. Asides from from weird hardware issues I had when initially setting it up, works great as well (Wayland too).
I agree with others: Linux mint, fedora, Ubuntu. Honestly, whatever gives you the least number of issues

8·2 years agoI didn’t think that the market share was actually changing much? Like it’s low but it’s still used, especially on Linux workstations with nothing else pre-installed
Cleaning house which is good. Selling old smartphones is turning out out to be a pain. Got my windows desktop turned into kubuntu! Overall been pretty happy with it

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•The Lack of Compensation in Open Source Software is Unsustainable
2·2 years agoThis is the unfortunate truth. Mathworks tools are heavily used in the engineering space, so it’s an obvious choice for academia to teach.
As much as I try to get my company off of Matlab/Simulink, it’s a challenge. Just so much legacy already written in it

51·3 years agoAnd Epic Games announced a big layoff coming soon. I dunno what’s happening in the industry rn, but it’s not looking good
Going okay~ My responsibilities at work keep increasing, but at the same time I’m able to influence more.
I’m planning on converting more of my home office space to double as dance practice space. Wanna learn more Charleston & Lindy hop

AskBeehaw@beehaw.org•Do you currently use Linux, or would you consider giving Linux a shot?
1·3 years agoI daily drive both windows and Linux mint. In my experience, it’s been getting a lot better but isn’t ready for non-technical users who just want something to work. I needed to disable the nipple button on my laptop cause it drifts hard and I had to resort to the terminal for that.
I’m liking mint a lot, but I would suggest having at the least have one windows machine that you can quickly access.

Programming@beehaw.org•How often do you have to resolve merge conflicts?
1·3 years agoMy team practices rebasing instead of merging, but generally our tasks are pretty separate so conflicts are uncommon. The ones that we do have are not that big.
However I am anticipating more of them now that we’re changing build systems
Being able to download your own data would be a start



I’ll have to figure out a solution for my parents, they still got intel mac
