What DE or WM (and distro if relevant) do you use for your actual, professional work?
KDE/Arch
Was this a choice by you or pre-selected by the employer? Do they allow you to work on your own device if desired? (Excluding freelancers obv.)
Choice was made by me (everyone except one person at the time was running arch with kde as well 🙃). Yeah, bringing your own device was allowed as long as disk was encrypted.
Do you need to balance stability vs. customisability? Or is that a no-brainer for you? (="Have you ever had to cancel a meeting because an Arch update broke your screen sharing?")
No, this never happened to me with work machine, arch is extremely simple to maintain as long as you follow simple procedure of reading news and keeping out-of-repos packages to minimum.
How much time do you find reasonable to put into maintaining/developing your setup?
Maintaining - up to an hour a week. Developing - dunno, I haven't changed things since kde 5 - 6 transition and it was a small change as well.
Did distro choice (or lack thereof) impact your choices for DE/WM?
Who knows, probably not.
Do you feel like your code editor, language stack, or job profile has an impact on the choices? For example, is your profile very specific ("I go to dailies and turn tickets into code / I work alone for weeks at a time researching stuff"), allowing you to optimise the setup further?
Well, emacs has some impact on my ~~psyche~~ worldview probably. 😄
Article text feels like something in between ad and ai slop.
It means that US is under dictatorship.😐
At least 41 airplane is partially or completely disabled.
It's just extremely funny, worst day for r*ssian strategic aviation ever. Achieved by: short range fpv drones and trucks
Actually, create as many distros as you like and can!
We have a temporary glitch with GitHub—probably some contributor was geolocated in a sanctioned region (no details yet). All required documents to unlock the account have been uploaded. Don't blame Microsoft/GitHub - it is just U.S. law. Please be patient. It should be unblocked soon.
One of the 237 that didn't wear life jacket un-drowned or found a jacket during drowning?
That's what machiavellian distills into - cold pragmatism and disregard of morality. So his turn from okay guy that wanted his family to stop with illegal shit into someone much worse than his father was portrays it perfectly.
Imagine you are running a marathon and someone ahead of you losses three bananas that were stuffed in their ass.
"Open"ai tells fairy tales about their "ai" being so smart it's dangerous since inception. Nothing to see here.
In this case it looks like click-bate from news site.
Yay, gtk3! /s
