Last week I realized that this is bringing up the same feelings of anxiety as early 2020 where I'm living through something that I have little ability to change and don't know how bad it actually is going to get.
They have to be using upscaling. No matter your feelings on it, it is the way everything is moving and will become a requirement to run any "AAA" game going forward soon enough.
I just discovered this last week. It works really well as an Obsidian plugin. The downside is that some of the usual Gantt chart features like dependencies are a bit weird to use.
While this is an issue for some smaller programs, for the vast majority of stuff installing and updating programs is just so much easier on Linux than Windows. I don't have to go searching for a download link, I just open up my distro's package manager and search for what I want. One of the major things that has helped Linux is that a lot more things are just web apps now.
What I really think is the unacceptable thing that will hold people from using Linux permanently is the abysmal power management for laptops. I cannot get my Framework 13 to reliably last more than 24 hours with the lid closed when Windows easily lasts multiple days.
Canada does not have the infrastructure to support more people. Housing costs are out of control, healthcare is in a terrible state, etc. If those things were resolved first before bringing people in and straining the already strained infrastructure throughout the country then there wouldn't be nearly the pushback that is happening right now.
I agree. Give the average person the ability to make a good enough decision for their online security with minimal effort. I'm having a hard time being that concerned with TOTP 2FA being an option in the same location as passwords when the most important accounts people have are often limited to completely unacceptable SMS 2FA (looking directly at you financial institutions). Whatever it takes to get people off SMS and Email 2FA is a big win in my book, even if it isn't the best option.
This is generally a bad idea. I never know when I'm going to get pulled into something that will take my attention away from the task. The only times I really do that anymore is if the task is not time critical or if it is something that I know I could be picked up by others in any state without any issue.
Agreed, my go to when feeling like I haven't produced real work in awhile is to document processes, especially if there is something I've noticed has been done poorly or been asked about a couple times recently.
This is something I've discussed with my colleagues that I've worked with for a long time. At the beginning when the company was smaller the group worked so closely in developing the fundamentals of how we make our products that even those that have left still have left a lasting impression on how things are done even if their names aren't associated with it any more. At some point that dwindled and now it is far less likely that someone makes that lasting impact, even a few months after they leave their contributions are just kinda forgotten.
I have to wonder how things will change when the last couple of us from those days move on, as we are the last links to that time.
