  • Yeah when I worked at BioWare we would do things gradually, then I moved to EA Mobile and staging and testing was like a foreign concept. It was wild. Fortunately that changed, but having a staging instance is really really important, as I’m sure many people now realize. Sometimes lessons are hard. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯








  • A mvno is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator, thus MVNO. They don’t own the network, they lease it.

    I use a private dns for privacy. I don’t like my data and metrics being shared without my consent. It also blocks ads. Win win

    edit: they had some sort of billing issue with me where my bill was consistently 40-50+ bucks over what it should be. So it would be correct one month then the next it would be like 200 bucks and back and forth.

    I formatted the whole system and installed Fedora Plasma. I’m a Fedora fan. It’s what we use in a corporate environment (rhel) and it’s what i learned on.

    TL;DR: Windows sucks. Linux is great and ProtonDB for those games you miss.
