I don’t think I have ever been asked for my GPA or school transcripts. Usually they just check to see if I graduated.
If you for a corporation then yes, your job is to make someone else rich. If you don’t like it then start your own business and hope it doesn’t go tits up. You can also try to become internet famous but that’s hard if your parents aren’t already well off.
Adult hood and responsibility is rough. Good luck young dude.
Don’t confuse it with wicked hot

I guess that’s the problem with having multiple distros and this example might be an edge case. But I would also make the argument that installation instructions can and should be clear cut for the terminal for novice users. For example, the instructions for the terminal commands shouldn’t assume that I know the inside lingo or acronyms. I shouldn’t have to be indoctrinated to use Linux, that’s gatekeeping and seems to be pretty common on websites for the Linux community.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!!
21·5 days agoI love your enthusiasm but Valve makes hardware to sell more Steam games. I don’t think they would make a phone controller unless the intent was to push Steamlink. I could see a whole ecosystem of Steam products if the Machine takes off.
Official keyboard and mouse would be great for the Deck and Machine. When I’m not traveling or sitting at my desk I plug my Deck into my TV and having something native and Steam branded would be great because I enjoy playing FPS and RTS.
I would really like for Valve to put a mag on the back of the Deck, maybe for Deck 2. Like a Magsafe/MagGo. I have The Mechanism (Deckmate) and it’s fantastic, I really recommend it, the variety of parts and attachments really cover a lot of bases. But it’s not perfect, the clips sometimes break and they attach using double sided tape, so you have to peel it off and clean it up, then stick a new one on. Wireless charging on the Deck doesn’t seem practical but there’s a lot of great Mag stuff already out there.
Valve should also open up LAN play. If I have friends over and I have a PC/Steam Machine/Deck then I would like to be logged in on multiple systems if they’re connected via LAN instead of logging me out of the other PC if I try to launch a game while a game is running. I’m sure this is a built in security measure, but I’m sure a guest account would be do able, like on consoles.
A premium bag/case for the Deck. Check out The Mechanism Bag, it’s expensive but I believe it the best bag out there. I would like to see the Deck 2 come with a much better bag/case than the one the Deck came with. I carry a charger, battery pack, folding keyboard, mouse, headphones, kickstand, sometimes a HDMI combo charger and attach a pair of controllers. My son and I will play local multiplayer games on long trips. I can fit everything, except for the controllers, in The Mechanism Bag. But I attach the controllers to a carabiner to the bag.

News@lemmy.world•"Those rights don't count": Bovino says Pretti forfeited 2nd Amendment rights in fatal shooting
35·5 days agoDisarming then shooting a man who’s weapon was holstered would lead me to believe that the “officers” are not the victim.
Recently been playing around with Mint. For the most part it’s user friendly. Where it falls apart is it’s not intuitive, it took me hours of googling to try to figure out how to add windows specific drivers (because the manufacturer didn’t create Linux drivers) for a Bluetooth mouse so I could program the mouse buttons. There were community created drivers on GitHub but no direct way to get them, I would have had to download and configure several support files before I could even try to install. I eventually gave up and just bought another mouse.
Most people would have given up in the first 5min and tossed their PC out and kept the mouse.
It’s not that Linux doesn’t work, it’s that it takes work to get it to work.
If Linux worked in the sense of clear step by step instructions and the developers/legacy users didn’t expect everyone to be experts or expect everyone to spend hours trying to figure out world peace just to perform a mundane task, then it would probably replace windows pretty quickly.
OneDrive secretly changing all of my save paths to OneDrive and not adding the cloud symbol to show that it’s beed saving my files to Microsoft servers, even when OneDrive sync is turned off.
I wish I could drop Microsoft completely.

politics @lemmy.world•‘Dangerous and wrong.' NRA slams U.S. attorney's response to Minneapolis shooting
9·6 days agoSlams?
Their response was an uncertain and apprehensive “let’s wait for the investigation”.
NRA, this is your moment to put actions behind words and you quietly sit in a corner rocking back and forth, because this time it’s daddy orange behind the trigger man? What a joke.

Government takes away gun of law abiding citizen who legally owns gun, then executes him in public.
This is the kind of stuff that they should be jumping all over.

Science Fiction@lemmy.world•Starfleet Academy is Anti-Star Trek [NERD RANT]
7·7 days agoHow dare she, Lower Decks is exactly what it should be and we should have gotten 9 seasons.
I give SFA a pass because it’s recovering from DISCO fever and is moving in the right direction and because the burn would reshape and change a lot of what we would consider Starfleet without a fleet. The actors not being physically fit I can forgive because the federation split Starfleet into separate military and science during the burn, so those left in the science part might not have been the most physically fit or emotionally mature.
The Jem Hadar slash Klingon vice principal does seem a little weird but it could be brushed away with the time jump. A lot can happen in almost a thousand years.
I get that a thousand years later tech has changed but the academy being a ship with wings seemed dumb and I hope it never comes up again. Having a dedicated ship for the academy seems practical, like having a bus for field trips. Having a ship built like a satellite campus of a community college that flies through space just seems odd, impractical and inefficient. Why not an actual real training ship to give cadets practical experience or are we supposed to believe that ships of the era all have an open courtyard in the center.

Yes ladies we all know why you have the super duper pulsating adjustable pressure shower heads.
No shame from me. Just pointing out that a >30min shower costs money and a vibrator is $50ish plus batteries. Just saying
