Comment A warning before quitting your day job (Score 1) 214

As someone who just earned a couple of Masters degrees in business for an insane price tag, I recommend that you exercise caution when transitioning careers. Breaking into a new field that is more of a passion project than one that is in demand is just brutal. Unless you are financially set and don't need the income, a transition could wreck you financially. The absolutely insane cost of graduate school cannot be understated and needs to be weighed against any advancement you may experience through it. It is massively easier to have a career track inside of a company that supports you rather than doing it on your own.

Did read it. "(the OS not the kernel, as opposed to Android which is a different is with a Linux kernel) " OS was not defined here as android is an OS that runs on Linux. Do we have to assume all of the other components of the OS here? Which distribution is that referring to? In that case, the argument is ambiguous to take into consideration.

It also works as a cell-phone OS (android), a television OS (ruku TV), a router OS (pretty much all of them), it's almost taken over education (Chromebooks), and embedded (Raspberry PI). Calling it a "server OS and a workstation OS" in 2018 is just plain wrong. To diss Linux, we need to limit the perspective to only PC gamers. Thanks to Valve (Steam), cross-platform engines, and Vulkan; games supporting Linux are more numerous than ever before and the future looks even better. With all of these factors in play, it is reasonable to think that Linux gaming will be worth it in the the future.

I've been trying to do something similar for a long time at home. The closest I came was using gramofon devices with AllPlay. They were driven by a rooted cell phone with an Android app call AirAudio. It works some of the time. It's disappointing that we don't have a better option. I usually try for a while and then give up and just use bluetooth to one output.

You're right, the movie hinted that there was conflict. It never actually showed any of it occurring though. This makes the native population look good. Looking at the flip side, the goodness that the humans did, such as the school and providing jobs for their people, where only hinted at and never shown. This makes the humans look bad.

Avatar wasn't just displaying a particular message. It did it in a biased and unrealistic way. For example: the Na'vi seldom, if ever, had a civil conflict in the movie that was not a direct result of the corporate occupation. One of them died of old age, but every other action that caused pain was due to sky people.
