I did have troubles passing the Anubis check from time to time. It does not offer an alternative way to prove you’re not a bot and locks you out of the website completely.

Much easier than that: just wait for a while and there won’t be no tower anymore.

Either it falls down on its own or people come around to pick a few bricks and stones to build their own house.

There are many other fields that require a degree. Engineering, architecture, chemistry, biology, etc. In some of those fields you can find some jobs which you can do without the degree, but the vast majority do require it.

I hire people and, to be fair, most people with a degree do not qualify as valid for certain jobs. But in that case is lack of knowledge. In my case I’d rather have someone without degree but with a deep knowledge; but those are very hard to find.

Access to books is not the same as access to a structured course with experts explaining the topics. YouTube classes can be very good to learn something specific, but do not achieve the organization of a university program.

In my country, university classes are public a d anyone can attend for free. You pay for the degree only. If it is formation you want, you can attend classes.

Ahaha, yes video call Is always a pain in the butt for some reason. I now run fedora (but still only do major upgrades on a Saturday morning).

I don’t know, at work we use Microsoft teams, often I get called into meet, zoom and others. The best working one to me is jitsy, that’s not to say it works flawlessly.

I don’t know, sometimes they work on Firefox, sometimes they work on Chrome. Sometimes they do not work and I have to use the phone. Sometimes headphones microphone does not work. Sometimes headphones microphone works but audio goes through speaker and not headphones.

I don’t know, I gave up attempting to fix all these things. Most of the times it’s more than one person in the call and we end up just joining together at the computer that works first. To be fair, my colleagues using windows are not free from these problems.

Very good explanation.

Why do you use that letter rather than th?

One time I did not update an arch system for something like 6 months… You can’t immagine the troubles I needed to go through to get it into a working state.

I used arch extensively. I still have it in a laptop I switch on from time to time. I stopped running it mostly because it is rolling release. I didn’t get many problems, but sometimes you do and sometimes you have to spend an hour figuring out what the problem is and how to fix it. I don’t want to wake up in the morning with an important video call set up and be unable to participate because the pipe wire config file has been corrupted during update.

Other than that, arch is a good system. But I’d rather keep it on hardware I know I can be without for a day or two if the case comes up.

Yes, I prefer them to wait for releases. Often those releases don’t really have such changes that are fundamental to my workflow but at times do have the potential to disrupt it. On my workstation I always wait a while before updating anyway, as I did experience problems upgrading from time to time.
