  • Because if a website doesn’t work in your browser, but it works in everyone else’s, no one will say “oh that’s website’s badly written”, instead they say “what a shitty browser”.

    So you have a huge web standard you have to respect, and then all the websites with non standard code you have to make work anyway.

    Wasting other people’s time.

    If you want to use an LLM that’s fine, but if you’re cutting and pasting it into a discussion you should warn other people that it’s not human generated.

    And most of it isn’t wrong, it’s just a giant wall of text that’s largely irrelevant to the conversation.













  • Honestly, if you’re sharing office files you’re probably using office 365. This means everything is a web app first and therefore Linux compatible.

    I tried using the desktop version of word on a Mac last week, and the latency was so bad on a shared document that I had to switch to the web app anyway.

    Basically, if you just want to use Linux you’ll be fine. If instead you don’t want to use Microsoft, you’ll probably have lots of problems.

    Microsoft have been brutally effective in getting their tentacles into academic institutes, and you’ll find that everything from email to logging into internet sites relies on an office 365 asking.



  • It’s super hard to get involved as a UI person. If you’re a developer, you can just rock up to a project and fix bugs, and if you follow the coding style they’ll probably get accepted.

    If you want to successfully contribute as a UI person you have to convince a bunch of developers that you know what they should be doing better than they do. It basically never happens.


  • It’s very true on a Mac. Almost every time you click the green button, it jumps to full screen and then you can’t drag another window on top of it.

    It’s a pain in the arse because my workflow is to have a reading screen with documents and emails on, and a work screen with whatever I’m actually doing. But if outlook is full screen, you can’t drag any other windows on top of it.

    Don’t know why the first guy was saying this is a Windows thing though. I only run onto it on macs.
