  • Is this the US talking? I still have recruiters contacting me, not as often as before but still getting messages on LinkedIn (European here).

    The market here seems to be buzzing if you are willing to move. There are pages and pages of devops, sysadmin, software developer, software architect,… . On one website j searched “sysadmin” and it found 10k jobs across Europe! They also seemed up to date when I was checking them out.

    Most well paying jobs are in West and North Europe, they also have quite interesting jobs, even in opensource companies. Italy and Greece can’t seem to be desperate for people, but their wages are trash. They don’t seem to be doing much interesting stuff either. Just run of the mill stuff.

    But yeah, Europe looks busy busy busy at the moment and very acceptable for people willing to move.

  • That framework laptop tho 💦💦💦

    Edit: the comments on here really show that 1) people just read headlines and 2) many people cannot think for themselves and will just quote or regurgitate from whichever text they were indoctrinated without second thought. The “but it’s not free as in freedom” and “it’s not opensource because it’s not OSI” comments show up on every single post about this topic. It’s like people referring to the bible and screaming “blasphemy” when someone says something that doesn’t fit. Or like people losing their minds because a non-white actor is “not canon”.

    I wish people had to answer multiple choice questions before being allowed to comment. Maybe it would make them actually think instead of just spew their religious bile all over the comment section.

  • Jetbrains seems to want to lose customers. But besides VSCode, which other proper IDEs exist. Eclipse is a joke, Netbeans is basically dead, VSCodium and other forks are Electron beasts,… There are a bunch of editors out there cosplaying as IDEs, but let’s be honest, they are nowhere near as good as proper IDEs, nor as easy to use.

    nvim users spend decades and have terrabytes of plugins, helix has no plugin system, emacs is hand cancer, and Kate is a great editor, but no IDE. It feels like the Chrome and Firefox situation, unfortunately.

    I know someone will say Zed, but isn’t that Mac first? Linux users probably come last, so also not a great option.

    Understandable. It’s a pity Google is so embedded in our systems. You can still get a fairphone though. It also comes with regular android. I’ve read in multiple places not to get the official fairphone case. You might have to check why that is.

    The good thing about the fairphone is that it has the highest reparability raring of any current phone out there. You can swap put the screen, battery, and other components very easily when things go haywire.

    And of course it’s one of the very few companies on this world that tries to give a shit about slavery in the supply chain.

    I know somebody’s going to day “get a pixel and put grapheneOS, it’s the most secure phone in the planet”. I don’t know if the Swedish apps dependent on google services will work, but if you do decide to go google hardware, you can try and get it secondhand.
