On a scale of 0 to 10, how good are you at technology?
-
Computer is hard and it should be.
Too fucking hard, that's why a lot of people prefer phones (and tablets)
I mean, its very difficult to even brick a phone OS, but delete a wrong file on a computer and, its reinstall time, meanwhile phones can just delete data and start over, its nearly impossible to delete the OS.

Difficulty depends on what you're trying to do with it. You can't install a pirated Windows game and run it on Android right?

I used to think I was a 5/10, but then I tried to pirate a game on SteamDeck and I felt like I lost a lot of braincells. Spend like 6 hours trying to fix things and I accidentally bugged the internal speakers.
I think I'm at 3/10, linux (SteamOS) is so fucking hard to use.
I might be the most technologically illiterate Lemmy user ever.
I'm a B.

As someone who wrote not only one, but two kernels, can I claim an 11?
Does a university assignment in assembly count?

I am good at technology even when I don't do anything.
There's a client who says that if I just join a call and do nothing but say hello, things that weren't working just suddenly start working for no apparent reason.

1/10
Im not really one to think twice before doing something. My Homelab is literally „dont move, break things”, im lazy as fuck, I even left my TrueNAS mirrored pool as degraded for a week now because I can't bother to read the manpages for zfs and read why my newly bought drives are getting checksum errors, and I backup anyway to Hetzner and Synology anyway. I broke at least 3 opensuse PCs trying to update without checking my available space first, and didn't bother to switch to leap afterwards (since they can go with less updates, they're just Netflix and IPTV clients). My record is 4 times in a row. Luckily fedora Atomic removed my competence from the equation. And I won't even mention the many times I sloppily migrated my PCs from Ubuntu, Opensuse, to Nobara because I was anti Atomic distros, to arch, opensuse again, arch, artix, Gentoo, and now back to Bazzite.
But to be honest, that was when I was between 13-16, but now a month later I already feel the responsibility in me. (Except that Zfs thing, I got those drives for my birthday)

The engineer’s dilemma. It is broken until I show up, then it starts working again until I leave.

9.5; I worked on machine learning starting in 2016 and lead teams working on new cryptography. That being said, I've met tons of people wayyyy more skilled/"good" than I am. But if we are comparing to the general public, at least a 9.5
The general public and using technology is like comparing speaking with a dog.
Yes they sort of understand but let's be honest: Not really. -

8/10.
Software engineer. Respected across a small public tech company. Most folks who do 30 seconds of GitHub snooping are impressed. There's a decent chance you've used code I wrote. Hopefully it keeps working.
No idea how to use Windows. Or mac. Lots of missing network and security stuff. Struggle every time I have to do python package management. Terrified of C++.

to be fair it's hard to be good at using windows when Microsoft's own documentation is often incorrect

I set up a jellyfin server but when I attempted a raw arch install I wanted to put a gun in my mouth.
I literally have a tech job and tell the people I don't like tech. It's a means to an end.
Can't even attempt terminal beyond downloads and updates. Tried a cli and quickly realized I need a gui. I am not a robot.

Retired I.T.
Told my family that if they ask me to help with an I.T. related issue, I'll bring my hammer.
Fuck printers.

If your list of different assembly languages you know exceeds mine...
I'm from the generation who could read 6510 code from hexdumps.

wrote last edited by [email protected]In case you didn't figure it out (I don't have a Deck, but Linux Desktop), exit Big Picture mode, install Heroic Launcher, click "add new game", (optional: type in the name and set the image if you want), select that it's a Windows version, (optional: select a specific Proton version in the dropdown), select the executable you downloaded, and you're done.
If the download was an installer instead, do the same steps except before you select the executable click "run executable" or whatever it says first and run the imstaller, then select the executable that the installer creates (it'll be in the prefix for the game, which should open when you click "select executable.")

I mean I think its the crack being intended for windows. Non RE4 cracked games do works, its just RE4's crack is not working in linux.

Ah, OK. I haven't tried that one. Possibly? I haven't had an issue with any of them, but there's always a chance it just doesn't work through WINE.

Nah, I could just barely code in the "baby's first assembly"
