I played the demo for a few hours. Might be a solo dev, but his experience is definitely noticeable. Game looks great, albeit unoptimized. Progression is simple and fair. Artwork is incredible for a solo dev. Combat is decent, and unexpectedly satisfying.

Someone else mentioned the excessive blood explosion - it’s the best feeling when you land one of those shots from across a field.

If you’re going to point fingers, point at the problem, not something you don’t understand.

Wayland has problems; it is not the problem. X needs a replacement and I strongly encourage you to research why if you don’t understand why. Wayland is relatively new, and has large shoes to fill.

It will be many years before it has matured enough to fill your and everyone else’s needs, and by then there will a new replacement for someone else to gripe about on the internet.

I think the point is that he’s blocking it from daily exposure. Obviously these are very important events, but the inundation of articles - some of which trying to capitalize on the violence - can be detrimental to the victims. Over-exposure to this horrific war causes it lose its severity.

Everyone trying to follow and stay aware of what’s happening should be picking and choosing their sources of information anyway. I wouldn’t call Lemmy best source for this or any world event.

As with most professions, nothing can replace experience. Senior engineers, laborers, scientists, doctors, etc. all become seniors through years of learning, and arguably more importantly, failing.

Rookies will try “method A” until it fails, then learn “method B”, then try A and B until a C is needed. Rinse and repeat. Being self-critical and observant will help.

In the short term, “in 6 months”: Practice. Every. Single. Day. If you need to break for day, make sure you come back the next. There are thousands of educational tools out there: Online lectures, free tests, public forums, problem sets (i.e. leetcode) etc. Don’t skip the fundamentals, even if it seems boring. It will mean less memorization, and you’ll understand more complex topics easier.

If you plan and commit to it, you still won’t be a “pro”, but you’ll likely have a chance in an interview, where you might land a job. There, over years, you can hone your skills.

Even if it was relevant, there’s still no story here. NSA employee/contractor brought home classified files to an uncontrolled laptop lol. That’s the security leak, not some random consumer software stealing files. If you work for any security oriented company you should just assume that is going happen.

There is actually a lot of scientific evidence to back this up. Many male prostitutes will undergo a natural transformation where their penis turns into a breakfast burrito, so they can charge for the night and then again for food in the morning.

Buy used. Compost organics. Upgrade when and only when needed.

That’s a tough oversight, but how does that get by QA?
