If it’s only about checking the knowledge: Talking to the students (e.g., in a job interview). But grades have a place as a screening tool because not everyone had the time to go through 10000 applications for 10 jobs.

Same here, never looked back. Enjoy it as long as it lasts

Night sky destroyer

Even and especially in those cases cryptocoins are a very bad idea. Just because it’s “a” solution doesn’t mean it’s a good one

Is the shift from Monday night (nobody cares) to Friday night (people hang out) a subtle hint at a downgrade?

I guess OP never applied for a job outside of software engineering? Other people have their own chain of pointless assessment centers and interviews with everyone to get that sweet rejection at the end.

I’ll take that as a hint for how to cure midlife insomnia

My computer my choice

My take after reading the response as well: I think it’s good that 404 reported this. Also, I think Proton acted responsibly. If you don’t read the 404 headline with a “Proton is a snitch!!!” mindset but more as “This is a thing that happened”, then there is some value in this story. Proton had to cooperate, they explain why and what users can do to minimize risks. Be aware.

Distribution support outside of the standard Ubuntu/tuxedo os was terrible for a long time. The fan support was essentially broken on my laptop except on the officially supported systems. Your can manually compile the (bloaty node.js) tuxedo control center, but instructions on GitHub are wrong and incomplete.

I recently saw that they now added support for Debian 13 though, so that might be worth another try.

There is also a community project tuxedo-rs but with limited device support. Doesn’t support fan control on my device but is much nicer than the original otherwise.

Now what does that tell us about the sanity and safety?
