Copies are just very strong statistical correlations.

It is kind of shooting at the ambulance, zoom needs to also adapt to the new API. The alternative is a completely non functional Wayland for videoconferencing for years… Unusable stable is not better than unstable usable IMHO at least you have a shot at fixing it for the second option.

It drives me crazy. Just release it 18+months ago and iterate with versions, at least your users will have the feature in their hands.

Is it something you cannot learn by yourself or the certification is valuable for your career?

The presenter banging on the keyboard, seemed totally distracted for minutes to say 2 sentences. It doesn’t need to be perfect but that level requires way too much good will to not just close the video… There is nothing wrong to say, ok let me regroup for a couple minutes then fully jump in for your audience.

Your overall process is perfect: first try to solve it from the UI, then the console, then the magic sysreq key.

The fact that your kernel was not responding to the sysreq key could mean a couple things: is it enabled on your install? (cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq to check)

Before trying to understand why the kernel locked up, are you sure everything is solid on the hardware side? ie. Did you overclock anything? If yes did you burn test the PC on some GPU demo?

And égalité…

“one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” almost to the letter.

I have seen another contributing factor in CS: it is really hard for the management to keep a good senior to junior ratio ie. A lot of juniors are trying to enter the workforce today. It means that during covid and shortly after the companies definitely relaxed as much as they could the geographical constraints for senior remote roles, also being senior they trusted them to work remotely not needing too much direct supervision. And now it backfires when your company is in silicon valley and you ask your senior developer from the boonies Colorado to move to an industrial concrete jungle.

The crashes are in the middle of browsers (both Firefox and chrome embedded in Spotify), if you try a simple mprime stress test (from the AUR mprime-bin) does it crash too?

One crash was in libxul and the other in libcef I doubt this is a specific lib

This local shadow for the AUR is awesome, it reminds me of the overlays for Gentoo they are super useful.
