Lemmings do you feel like you are falling behind in your area of expertise?
  • For government work, I stumbled into it. A friend got me the foot in the door. I really wish I could give you better advice on that but thats the truth. Its really flipping hard to get a job in my local gov area. Gov pay can be bad but it heavily depends on what/where you are. I make around -15% less than my last place, but I get a pension after a couple of years, so it evens out. Plus I dont feel like im selling my soul for a couple of bucks.

    For non-profits, I simply searched for them on linkedin/indeed and found a couple in my area looking for software devs. The interview process is about the same as any other place, but they did take a look at my GitHub profile more than some others. At least when I got started.

    So just like anything:

    1. Make sure you know your stuff.
    2. A portfolio of work is always going to be seen as a positive.
    3. Keep your resume up to date.
    4. Go to your local meetup groups on subjects you like (networking is important)

    Hope that helps!

  • Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73%
  • What's interesting is that multiple trackers are now saying it's above 4 percent. Last time something was posted, people questioned the data and where they got their data (which they should). Now there's multiple sites showing a real increase.

    My reading progress so far this year
  • Coo! Sounds like your enjoying yourself. What's your current Best/worst?

    For me, I've been reading off of royal road this last year or so.

    A bit of a sidenote. Bookwyrm made it a bit easier to track and follow other people's books, but it's pretty alpha.

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
  • For desktop or everything else. Because if its:

    Web Servers, Supercomputers, Android Smartphones, Smart TVs, Network Routers, Network Switches, Embedded Devices, IoT Devices, NAS (Network-Attached Storage) Devices, Raspberry Pi, Smartwatches, Home Automation Devices, Google Chromebooks, Set-top Boxes, Drones, Digital Signage Devices, 3D Printers, Medical Devices, ATM Machines, Point of Sale (POS) Devices, Digital Cameras, Gaming Consoles, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), Automotive Infotainment Devices, Mainframes, Telecommunications Equipment, Scientific Research Equipment, Security Devices, Cloud Servers, Network Firewalls, Storage Area Networks (SAN), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Devices, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Devices, Big Data Analytics Devices, Machine Learning Devices, Artificial Intelligence Devices, Financial Trading Devices, Air Traffic Control Devices, Spacecraft Control Devices, Weather Forecasting Devices, Broadcast Automation Devices, Railway Signaling Devices, Electric Grid Control Devices, Smart Meters, E-Readers, Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations, Robotics Devices

    then Linux (or some kind of *Nix system) is probably what is running it. The only market share I dont see is desktop.

    What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?
  • Ive never seen this, thanks! This made my day.

    I tried making it work for a month! I even tried to hack it to put retro stuff on it. My tiny gaming pc at the time had better capabilities and was easier to work with...so I gave up on that too. Tried to use the controllers (they were Bluetooth, they could technically work with other machines) but they lagged and felt terrible.

    Is there a Linkedin equivalent that is federated?

    Linkedin is getting pretty spammy lately. Is there any equivalent platform (mature or otherwise) that is a clone/competitor/etc...? I really dont want to get premium just to message people. Image is the post, on Linkedin, someone who I agree with.
