Every idea I have has been done 5 times now. It doesn't help my only ideas are types of social media, and I'm ready to just give up because no one gives a fuck.Seriously though, is there any point in trying to become successful? I could just build stuff that makes me happy and I can feel proud of, instead of caring what others think and stress myself out with users.
>>107838205Shit son, never heard anyone put it into words like that, interesting shit
>>107838509Well to elaborate, I think you should try programming more for the fun of it than to make something that will be used by others. Being a "good" software developer isn't something that neccessarily that makes you wealthy, it's more about riding trends and appealing to the masses.Make something challenging but within your skill level. Learn C or some other language that's closer to hardware. Or perhaps learn about old CPUs and write assembly.
>>107838014>Every idea I have has been done 5 times now.That means it's a good idea, as it has succeeded several times already.>It doesn't help my only ideas are types of social mediaSocial media has the chicken/egg problem. You need new users, but nobody is joining because the place is empty.>Seriously though, is there any point in trying to become successful?The system is rigged. You can work hard to become successful, and maybe you will be. Someone else can just go to the bank, get a pile of tax free income called a "loan" and just buy success.
>>107838014Is your idea to make some big multi million user application? Well of course it's going to be done to death. Big corpos have a monopoly on that sort of thing. Return to tradition with the old internet way of doing things, just make websites for things you like and for small communities you want to cultivate. Fuck mass appeal.
>>107838549I don't try to compete with big social media, but even a niche community is a PIA to moderate. Being a janny is a huge toll on mental health and anything I build must either be zero moderation effort or have an extremely high entry barrier to post. I already have some ideas but it's just so demotivating knowing a functional site won't get me a job/secure a good future because literally nobody gives a fuck! HR karens don't care what I learned and what I'm capable of

With the current state of the PC market I’m thinking of buying Apple, I know the M4 is powerful but how is MacOS? I heard Tahoe is shite but haven’t looked too deep into it.

The new beta release fugged up the app, just goes to a black screen
>>107838684That's why, once you get everything setup, and get trusted captchas again, you export your settings to a backup. That way you can just restore them with one click. It's what I did when I switched from beta to stable.
>>107838707And how do you think I would export when the app is nothing but a black screen/crash? Obviously would if I could.
>>107838721Hmm fair point. I guess I should do the same in the future.
Still can't search downloaded threads and hold to delete. Have to scroll to each one manually
>>107838729Lol I forgot :)Still tho, you should've had a backup saved.

wait how do I update libreboot if I built it from source pull, build, flash again? I gotta re-apply my settings?
pls help, I need a thinkpad for making simple games (rendered with pbr methods, no raytracing) and it also needs to be a tuner laptop for my car. It needs to run both linux and windows, Cost doesn't matter, I want it to be good. I'm coming from a surface laptop and I'm tired of random things like usb drivers not working :((

there's also font fringing issues, but I will blame software for this for not keeping up with the hardware development and different pixel arrangements.

Why does it seem like they're trying to kill Windows on purpose? Is this the year of Linux?
The current CEO is a parasite that has no actual gameplan other to enrich his people and has systematically replaced the American workers with his own people who are inept at programming. The more they fire Americans the worst the products get.
>>107834516this sounds like capitalists saying china will collapse in 2 weeks.the most linux could hope for is beating ChromeOS and macOS.

>>107834516I don't think Windows can ever truly die. 90% of society is dependant on it for their work. The US government will never let them kill it either
So what version of linux should I install for gaming then?
