  • I run that command in the background while working, usually it doesn’t even require a reboot.

    Interesting, I always avoid updating as much as I can whenever I work on something because 3/4 of the time something starts to act wonky resulting in me needing to close everything down and reboot.

    I would imagine having to deal with it for that long every time would make you wanna game even less. I am so glad that 95% of games work fine on Linux nowadays.


  • I assume you just read my comment quickly and missed this very important part:

    The only thing ever running on them is Steam and they only get booted once every so many month so I really don’t care.

    There is literally nothing else on those systems. If you manage to actually somehow get to them then congrats, you deserve it and Valve needs to check better what they let people upload/download.

    I am lazy, but I am not stupid.


  • I shall start.

    On Linux I update everything whenever one of these 2 are true:

    a) Discord stopped working because its “out of date” and wont automatically update itself anymore

    b) I am installing a new package

    So maybe twice a month?

    Windows: lol never. My Windows 7 install is stuck in 2015, my Windows 10 install in 2019 on purpose. The only thing ever running on them is Steam and they only get booted once every so many month so I really don’t care.

    Android: Uhhhhhhhhh I use Android 10 still even tho supposedly there is an update to 11 on my phone. I updated it a couple of times and every time I got more bloatware from Samsung so I am just ignoring them now. I do keep most of the apps (there is some huge exceptions) up to date for the most part (do them once a month maybe).

    Basically I am terrible with updates and they are a mess all over. I really hope I am not the only one.



  • I am not from NL, so dunno how it is there, but over here that money is completely untaxed, so it is not quite the same as getting a raise. And yes, if you move the amount you get changes. But noone is dumb enough to move just to get more travel money, it barely covers gas costs, you would just be wasting your time lol.

    I don’t get how workers having rights and benefits is ridiculous. Honestly I think claiming that it shouldn’t be a thing is the ridiculous part.

    EDIT: just saw its untaxed in NL too, I guess the difference between us and NL is that for them its typical to get that paid, for us is straight up illegal for your employer not to pay that.


  • This is idiotic. No one compensates employees for their commute.

    Yea, thats not true. Where I live any employer legally has to do it. They either pay a certain amount per kilometer (defined by law) or pay your public transportation fee. I rack in about 300€ of travel compensation every month which covers fuel costs. Having to pay to get to work seems to bizzare to me.

    Also wait till you learn our lunch breaks are paid and on top of that the company has to either provide a meal or compensate you for that too…
