Pop!_OS is like Ubuntu (it's based on it), but easier to install and use and doesn't use snaps, it has flatpaks and the usual apt.

Not everyone likes to work on code in their free time, though, and code from work is often not public. How do you suggest people like that get jobs then?

My point is more that this seems like a feature that no phone company would install without a law requiring it, if it's really in there, this feature would be really, really dangerous because any criminal could then just use the same e

Australia is already taking steps to eliminate negative pricing and some of the volatility, which will make it harder to profit on this type of installation as quickly. Most of the profit was made in ways that won't be as available in

I'd like to see some evidence of this, it seems surprising that a company like Apple or Google would do this for the government without some fight back.

Yes, it was pretty much bullshit, I am not happy about my role back then.

I can only guess it was from Hollywood, but in the military no one uses it because it's wrong. People down vote for several reasons, but I don't worry about that usually, I'm just here to talk to others a bit and read about t

I vouched you, so don't start spamming; sorry I can't help with the career question, I'm a developer who also doesn't really know what I want to do from here.

I appreciate your experience, but in the USA, regardless of what these other posters are stating, you can't use the military for law enforcement except for very narrow limits. They are mistaken when they say this use is legal, but I ca

Put it into a docker container, run with the `--rm` flag, then when it expires have it delete it's own git repo and other data before exiting, then it'll really be dead.

For most things I'd reckon you could skip most of that. Everyone thinks they need a Ferrari when a bike can then to work easily.

Most web applications don't need any of that. Also, I didn't say k8s was useless, just that it's the new thing everyone wants (that they probably don't need).
