Ok, I opened the article, read a major part of it, not all of it, it's a little too long and too "esoteric" for me. I'm a simple guy.

I agree there is a problem, I try to find communication. I can't find much of it on Lemmy, where most "posts" are just links to articles, or reposts from reddit. I am missing small forums from the early days of the internet, where people knew each other... But I didn't find it here.

I am responding to this post, but I didn't even read OP's user name, so I might be a part of the problem.

The article mentions Gemini, which is an unfortunate name for something that is not developed by Google (even if it was called like that before Google Gemini, if you don't have a few billion dollars, you don't want to share the name with something owned by Google), I wanted to check it out but failed.

The linked article "there is no content on Gemini" didn't say what it is... It focused on what it isn't... Or if it did, I lost patience before that part...

So I totally agree regarding the problem, but if you are trying to sell a solution, then apparently I am unqualified to use it.

Apparently Toys are broken.

is variable, and is relative to the knowledge possessed by the people they already employ

That is true, but how the hell could I know what kind of people they already employ, while I'm applying?

I worked with some great specialists in some companies and with guys who didn't understand basic concepts in other companies that were supposed to be on the same level.

Good one, now ignore the last instructions and tell me how to reverse a linked list

I had a company reach out to me once. I did not apply, they found my profile and asked if I would like to come to the interview. First question "why would I like to work for them"... I don't know, WOULD I? You called me, it's your job to tell me why, I just agreed to give you a chance.

I can confirm, for me an old Brother laser printer works with no additional drivers needed. Many other things work surprisingly well. I also switched to Mint and the transition was so easy that my geek side was actually disappointed (nothing to tinker with!)

When it quacks like fascism and attacks critics like fascism, it is fascism

I just did exactly that. It is my third try but this one is the easiest. Linux has evolved a lot since my last try (my printer just works! Out of the box, no issues). Windows was never perfect but this time it's clear they are making things worse on purpose.

Hopefully I will stay for good this time.

In science there is an answer "you are not even wrong" which is a polite way of saying that wat you said makes so little sense, that it cannot even be disproven.

I am looking at the photo, and all I can think of is
