How do I know what suits me the most? What skill set / character traits are needed for each field? Which one is hardest?
>>60528880
gui -> webdev
cli -> backend
about as coarse as it can get
>>60528880
If you're not sure, you're either mediocre at both or have no experience in either.
Work on a project that has non-trivial demands for both backend and frontend and see which one frustrates you the most.
>>60528920
Or perhaps you could just tell me in words?

Backdoor here
Backdoor there

Windows is so insecure even the viruses can't run securely

Is it best to just give in to the botnet in exchange for games? I think it is but I'd like to see someone try to prove me wrong.
I've been using windows since I was a kid and it just makes sense. From what I've seen of linux its a convoluted mess with too many options and not enough usability. Also, im not really someone who cares about surveillance or freedumb because im not a criminal. Anyone else think linux users would be more happy just forgetting about all that stuff and enjoying comfy windows.

Negligence for privacy has consequences that extend beyond crime.

There is no perfect solution/OS/hardware/language.
People have different needs and wants.
If something works for you - great.
If not - fix it.
Dont start flamewars
It seems like these days you somewhat have to commit your life and your data to some degree to (at least) one of five megacorps - Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook or Amazon. If not you're kinda technologically excluded or impaired.
inb4 there are alternatives
Yes there are, but none of them is as good or have as coherent ekosystem with as much possibilities. If they were as good they'd simply become another megacorp.
So which one of the five you trust the most?
>>60528579
Apple I guess.
Their hardware sucks, and user privacy isn't great either, but it seems that spying isn't their sole purpose.
>>60528579
why is facebook and amazon even on this list
real choice is between google, microsoft and apple
>>60528579
why do you or anyone need to be reliant on an ecosystem? computing as the manipulation of tangible files with native software rather than signing into locked remote services hasn't disappeared yet. i edit the document, i play the mp3, i send the email, all off some nand chips somewhere inside this box. how is it "impaired" that a status update isn't sent to 3000 of my closest friends each time i do anything?
console:dir C:\$mft\hello
html link:<ims src="file:///c:/$mft/hello">
and you are done in a minute
Why the fuck would inspecting the MFT cause a kernel panic?
>>60528589
Because Windows.
>>60528589
it's a magic!
>>60528428
Ehh seems like the nicest virus I've ever seen. Reinstall Windows on another hard drive and wait 6 months to save your files. Maybe you can even set windows time forward 6 months, don't know how its set up. Either way, I'm curious as to where people get it.
>>60528428
Meh.
I have insurance.
>reformat
>reinstall backups that I maintain religously
Falseflag. They just want bitcoin to look like shady blackmarket currency.
why don't you use glorious LFS, do you enjoy getting cucked by your distro?
>>60528313
name one accomplishment in your life
>>60528333
>he thinks lfs is super hard
not OP but look through the manual
Its really not that difficult especially if you have installed gentoo
>>60528313
Name one reason I would spend the time maintaining my own distro, rather relying on competent people to maintain it for me?
>cannot even save pictures to MicroSD

The only ones denying it are Pajeets and the same stupid /v/tards from the speccy and gpu threads.
