No. I’m telling you that they won’t maintain it properly.

Not when it’s a reskinned cura fork. There marlin (printer firmware- nominally more important) versions are old too… last I checked, by years.

That’s a creality problem. Not an appimage problem.

They’d have a just as shitty flatpak or whatever else they used; because that’s how the company is.

“Professional time” sounds like a euphemism for wanking off on the clock.

Recruiter swag happens.

Nobody’s given me a laptop though.

That’s something that’s usually outside the HR/hiring manager’s purview. (And there’s some good reasons for that. Namely maintaining the integrity of their confidential data.)

If they’re not already using Linux environments; and to be blunt, they’re probably not unless you’re specifically being hired for dev in Linux-world… then you just disqualified yourself.

Even if they do allow it, there’s probably going to be times they really need you in windows, and they’re now going to have to weigh how common that will be and if they want to tolerate it.

So, you need to ask: are you willing to hold out for that one company; for that one job, that may never come. Are you willing to take a potential pay cut?

I get having standards, but, they also get to have those standards and they might just pass because you sound annoying.

You can always decline an offer, you can’t accept an offer that’s never made.

HEY! I grew up on red hat.

It’s (RH) Enterprise Linux you want to shit on.

One specific implementation by a terrible company that can barely manage to check quality control on their actual products isn’t a very good example of appimage’s problems.

Not saying they don’t have problems. But having seen creality’s version of Marlin, I gotta say, I’d be willing to bet they rebranded something, but using vastly out of date versions.

Probably should switch to simplify3d, prusa or cura.

Dunno. But that’s a hardware model, ;)

ME??

You… uh, like pain, don’t you?

this is what happened to windows 9, too.

To you first point… are you really saying that professional troops are less effective than untrained conscripts who really don’t want to be there?

Cuz that much at least is true.

Ukraine might be justified- and it might be necessary and even right- to have conscription… but a professional army would have been much more effective, at least at the start of the war.
