Both. Most people depend on literally thousands of interactions per day to survive: to eat, to have medicine,to travel, etc

These interactions depend on countless people around the world to do things no person fully understands.

This applies to most nations.

And it means most people are caught up in a small fragment of a system so mind boggling complex that will exploit them without anyone fully comprehending the why and how.

Can’t escape things one can’t understand

College computer programming programs normally do not train people to immediately work, unless the students spend thousands of hours coding on their own. Most comp sci students avoid this.

So, when a new dev graduates and they did not do that extra work, then the first year of paid work is them putting in those hours while being paid rather than doing it for free

I see this in my own field as patent trolls.

Not ordinary people, and relatively rare per capita; but the population is big enough to have many parasites; or a very proficient few based on what they practice.

My life would be easier professionally if the top ten patent trolls went out of business nationally

Wiki entry does not mention it used to turn into white chocolate if stored for many years. Not sure if still does?

My opinion is that this is not a helpful massage. But an allegory of capitalism destroying the spirit of Christmas

New devs generally suck, I sucked a lot.

The problem I fear today is that there are more crutches new devs can rely on, until they can’t.

And it’s not a sharp boundary between getting by and not being able to work it

In my region ( USA), ordinary people simply don’t have the resources for individual lawsuits like this.

It would have to be a well connected or monied individual to have any chance. Or the situation is so egregious and documented enough, that a law firm thinks it can make money, by taking most of the winnings from the victims

I’ve installed from steam after downloading it the deb from the website , and steam self updates. I never had issues on mint, Ubuntu or popos for years.

I really don’t know much, and anyone should take this with a grain of salt: but in my opinion any other way of installing steam on this branch of Linux is asking for trouble

I program too; some days 11 hours, some days 2 or less. I have never been able up to do a steady schedule.

And if I code too much over a few days, I take time off to heal my brain
