That one anyway I lost interest after talking to the interviewer. It was clear to me that he didn't want me, and he didn't even join the call for about 30 minutes.

Had to call the recruiter about 3 times in 10 minute intervals before they connected and said the interviewer will be joining.

Got done with 2 rounds of interviews at 2 other companies, but it's been over a month after that so I assume it's not proceeding further ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I continue my search...

Precisely that's what he wanted to say; look at a display and read what the thought was before they wrote the description ! How naive of me...

I was on an interview call, and I was responding to his queries about a specific tool because that is what was mentioned in the job post.

After 2-3 questions, he says talk about some other tool which is okay, but then he starts asking questions outside of the technical requirements which I only knew surface level information about.

Upon pointing it out to him, he says there may be anything written on the job post, you should know how to read between the lines. I was a little confused, and realised it was not worth it to argue with someone who seemed disinterested in the interview itself.

Edit: wording changes.

Not quite sure about the On by default aspect; on my non-Google phone running stock android, it keeps asking me to enable RCS.

I keep clicking no because there's a lot of ads pushed through RCS. This is annoying on top of the usual telemarketing stuff you might get due to phone numbers being sold.

Hasn't VLC in general been forgotten by the devs ? I don't remember last when I updated VLC (I don't have automatic updates enabled).

Not that this is a concern for my usecase though, I'm okay as long as it is chugging along.

Edit: I meant to specify that I don't just mean the android port, Windows and Linux as well.

Being in a highly technical field I agree with you in wondering the point of tablets, but I am seeing a couple of people in the local transport use it as a replacement for pen-paper with an added advantage of collaboration on a document with multiple people.

I'm not bothered to check, but tablets might be cheaper than 2-in-1 or otherwise touchscreen PC laptops.

TL;DR of the article - Arcane > Cyberpunk Edgerunners > Castlevania > Sonic Boom > The Last of Us > The Witcher.

They did figure out having 1 service for watching a huge library of movies/TV with a Netflix. But they have started imploding because of corporate greed, which is bringing back piracy by the masses.

No problem mate !

Once you're on Mint's page, just have a look over the other desktop environments (DE) offered. Screenshots will not tell you the entire picture, but at least you can have a look at what you don't find appealing.

But remember not to really worry about the DE, you can always install another one and remove the one you don't like.

That is the case with me as well for Netflix, I just use it to browse anything interesting, and then proceed to pirate it.

Disney+ has got such shoddy servers in my country that I am having to deal with pixelated content or poor audio or both even on such high broadband speeds and only my devices on the network... and it gives ads (banners, before the start of a video, in between videos, the entire 9 yards of ad integration) even tho it's a paid account.

Mainly from a security standpoint PPAs are something I would want to avoid.

I've not used Snap since I tried it out a couple of years ago, it wasn't as good as Flatpak in terms of performance, and there were concerns which got highlighted like it's entirely proprietary and hosted by Canonical only, I heard Snap was being forced even when you would want through system packages, and something about forced updates.

I get why Flatpak is better in terms of sandboxing each application, but I personally prefer to use system packages wherever I can.

I just moved from Windows to Linux (currently, PopOS) this year around.

You can try out beginner friendly distributions like PopOS, Linux Mint, ZorinOS which are Ubuntu-Debian based or Fedora. Like others have mentioned, applications made on Linux are expected to be cross-compatible with all distributions so your choice will mainly come down to what desktop environment you like as there are many with different feel to the user experience.

To know what works for you try these out in a VM if possible before biting the bullet so you know what all packages are present in Linux, and what all of your usecase will need to be managed through WINE/Proton compatibility layers.

You would want to avoid Ubuntu, and installing anything through Snap or PPA repositories if it ever comes up in your searches.
