    There could be too many people too, but A.I. is taking (atleast some) junior dev jobs.

    Companies are not hiring juniors and instead giving A.I. to the rest of their employees thinking that that will offset the loss of junior jobs.

    Of course not every company will be like that, but it seems to be a common trend. If the trend continues, we could end up in a world where there’s a big mid-level to senior shortage because juniors stopped being hired (and therefore trained).





  • The money from Google was surely what killed their browser. I’m not saying there was a behind the scenes deal. They just got lazy and spent Google’s money is stupid ways instead of improving their product so that they could gain a real userbase.

    Imagine if they spent that money towards just the browser (not possible, but imagine anyways), we could be in a very different place where Chrome doesn’t have 99% (or whatever it is) market share.

    Firefox is a good browser, but where could they have been today if it was prioritised over paying the CEO millions for nothing? They have recently been sorta catching up, i’ve seen a lot of updates that actually include features I use, but I think it’s too late.

    Time for one of the new built from the ground up browsers to shine when complete. I still stand by Firefox and recommend it, but as soon as their is an open competitor that is production ready, I’m outta here.

    They have undoubtly done amazing things for the web, but their idiocy is astounding sometimes and I don’t wanna stay on a sinking ship. I’d rather use a new browser that helps keep the web secure, safe a pleasant for us all without annoyances or dumb beurocracy.




  • Most people still only have 16gb of ram (like me).

    Electron is net good, but only for small teams that need to ship fast or solo devs etc who already know js and just want something to work.

    Billion dollar companies using it instead of paying more for native apps is a horrible use case (that’s mainly where my complaints live).

    At the very least, I hope we move to something that can use webviews on our system rather than bundling their own which would save on resources (but opens the possibility for version mismatches i guess, I dunno if you can “peg” that sorta stuff to a working version… but i guess thats just how browsers work so…).










  • What stuff do you switch off? (Did you have this bug previously?)

    I tried researching this issue a while ago, it was hard to find anything, but it’s not a bug worth spending any more time on unfortunately since it’s an easy fix whenever it happens.

    Wish I was smart enough to contribute hehe, sadly don’t even have the time anyways to sit down and figure it out (someone might already be figuring it out, it’s slowly getting rarer and rarer that the bug occurs, still at least one every other day, though much better than the at least multiple times a day from before).


  • Oh interesting, I guess a general bug then.

    This is over many years so memory might be bad, but I never had this on my old rx 580, then started getting it sometime after swapping to an nvidia gpu. Guess it was just coincidence, if I’m remembering it right anyways. That always fueled my suspicion it was nvidia.

    Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s eye opening. I guess I have no problems specific to nvidia then (pre and post open source driver).

    p.s. if you have ever looked into this, do you have something you blame?


  • Windows you don’t have to think about it.

    To be fair, that’s only because most people are trained on windows first and use it for decades, so the annoying Windows quirks and defects have been embedded into you (their workarounds too).

    Nvidia is not easy on Linux

    I think this problem is mostly solved, for newer cards at least. But I guess I have to agree since older nvidia gpus will be stuck on the terrible old proprietary drivers (though idk maybe the older ones have better support because theyve been around).
