I'm sure in a few years from now nobody will code anymore and you will just tell the AI what you want to see implemented.

Same as nobody writes actual machine code anymore and everyone only uses higher languages.

Thanks for mentioning this. I will definitely check this out

I cannot explain the exact details but I remember during the first great Twitter exodus some people discovered a drawback in the ActivityPup protocol that seems to cause performance issues when very influencial users post on a small/under powered instance.

Because communicating all that stuff to many other instances is more costly than spreading it only to people on the same instance. So technically speaking large instances have a performance advantage and must just scale accordingly to the user number.

Everyone agreed that this need to change in oder to ensure a healthy federated ecosystem but I don't think it was be fixed by now.

Actually, I don't think there is a technology some could recommend that will magically boost your career. Because this will highly depends on what will be required in upcoming projects and no one can know this. So just go with whatever you want and what your interested in.

However, one skill that many technical people are missing is the ability to communicate with other people outside of their own skill spectrum. In my eyes this is the most important thing if we talking about career, because in the end the money never comes from technology it comes from humans and in many cases non technical people decide about you promotion.

So I don't think there is a blueprint for learning such skills, but I guess best thing to do would learning by doing. Go start communicating more with people outside of a technology bubble, try to organize events with other people or maybe even get politically active. Learn to know when people know what you are talking about and when not. Good example would be the use of the abbreviation LOE in your original comment. People seam not to understand what this actually should mean. Here it doesn't hurt much but doing this stuff to often when explaining a concept to a college maybe end up in false Implementation because of misalignment.

Honestly after using it for a while now it's not that bad at all :) And you can install a dock / taskbar so I have all I needed

[–] Feyter@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I thought about this now for a while and the only case in which I could imagine this "no-dock" Workflow beneficial is when just using one application (or more in split screen) and not switching around much between random applications.

However this is not my Workflow since in my daily business I often need to switch From Blender to Godot, maybe have to select single project files in different directories and edit them with gimp or plain Texteditor. Then realizing I have no idea what I'm doing and try to find a solution online I could copy and paste... And many times just with one screen available because of directly working on the notebook.

I voted this up just for all the toxic irony in it. Really missed this since I'm no longer on reddit 😄

[–] Feyter@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

It seems that how gnome is coming in Debian 12 it is coming without a permanently visible dock. (Yes I know sounds crazy) so there was nothing wrong with the system the error probably just occurred because I (re)installed gnome-panel in an attempt to fix something that was not broken.

Thanks man. That is both a relief and a shock for me.

Debian unser actually prefer it this way?

[–] Feyter@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Thanks for pointing this out. Yes, I can go to activity and that brings up a panel at the bottom screen and a search field from where I can start any app.

But I would have expected to have the panel there permanently showing all running apps and favorites or at least blender in when I hover with the cursor to the bottom of the screen. I also find nothing regarding a panel in the settings. In Ubuntu options for this is under the "appearance" Tap in the options.

Is gnome not supposed to work like this?

[–] Feyter@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you. Will definitely do this (should have done it right away I guess)

But from your comment I assume gnome-panel is the correct software for this and something is definitely wrong with my setup.

Maybe installing Debian from the live image is not the best idea?

I thought CentOS is actually downstream?
