Boss is all hyped but pay is still kinda meh despite the job being pretty comfy overall(aside from having to deal with excel).
Not sure if I should be trying to make the jump to a soft dev job or hang around here.
I feel like at a soft dev position i'll just be one of the many, whereas here I can stand out.
Thoughts?
go become a software developer
you might not stand out as much but you'll get paid way more
>>59788825
fair enough.... thanks anon
>>59788813
Maybe coast this for a while and gather your compulsions around some profitable projects.
Even if you still devote your time to the job while you're there, you could have the extra thought time to think through plans.
What does /g/ think of NixOs?
It sounds really cool but I have not tried it.
GuixSD is better.

What do I use instead of Google Chrome for least botnet?
Firefox Nightly
>>59787913
Ungoogled Chromium
nightly has a lot of telemetry as well, maybe not for the same purposes as google though. nightly or waterfox are the best options, op

Why? Do you have autism and enjoy fiddling around with the OS and looking up bugs on forums instead of just using programs for work and entertainment?
I just have it at a point where it just werks.
Also the AUR is fantastic.
>>59787606
I can't help it, I have been doing this since the win9x days, when I was a lil lad that found out how to format compoopers.
>>59787606
If I could use the AUR on a less autistic distro, I would.

It's open source so you know it's a botnet.

Can't I just check the source code for botnet stuff?

What else did you think research into self driving was for?
But your usecase of public ownership of is a fallacy. You're not getting one. No one's getting one. It's all PR to allow such research.
There's no way to insure a self driving car correctly. Makers wont payout if it's their end. They'll go bankrupt. You can't be held responsible because it's meant to be safe to not pay attention and fuck around on your phone while you're running over children.
