… do people actually do that? As in, is strong jealousy really a thing?
I’d like to believe that each of us builds their life into the exact thing they need, so swapping places with anyone else would be terribly uncomfortable. So I can’t relate as to why anyone would ever be jealous i guess haha
My parents claim there is rampant discrimination and racism towards Russians. They’re all hysterical about it, claiming that they need to stow away all their money in a russian bank before the German government starts persecuting them “like they did with the Jews” (yea, literal quote). I’m doubtful that it’s as bad as they claim 🤔
Yeah, people want to learn about the topics that are currently hyped up / in demand from employers 🤷 Just being good in Java/Python/C++ doesn’t really cut it on a resume, you gotta have either a weird specialisation or claim skills in a currently hyped up technology.
Install Revanced, it’s literally better than the vanilla youtube app because you can customize basically everything
I don’t think your ban reason leaves a lot of room for that…
It’s always better to be safe than sorry. Many Software devs can be trusted to not do anything too stupid with their machines, but every person has blind spots and can be tricked. At the company I work at, the IT system is pretty permissive at what can and can’t be done, but the Admins do block installing programs that ask for too many permissions under the hood (like some custom drivers and things that want console access) or that simply aren’t allowed due to company policy (i.e. Postman, because it just sends too much information to the cloud). Even a well-meaning dev usually isn’t aware of all the details of a program they want to install or the company policies - there are too many to reasonably know at all times. So it’s easier to block stuff, and if someone really does need something they just ask and get it unblocked for themselves.
You can also never be sure that a dev isn’t doing anything malicious. Of course that’s rare, but when it happens the damage to all company projects is just too large.
It’s also not much of a hierarchy thing, the Admins are on exactly the same level as devs, their job is just a bit different.
Ich hab erst vor Kurzem rausgefunden dass es Alternativen gibt :o Sobald mein jetziges Handy stirbt springe ich auf ein entgoogletes Fairphone mit e/OS oder IodéOS um.
I’m both depressed and grew up poor so idk what you’re on about
Getting jealous at people who appear to have it better isn’t exactly a productive solution to either of those
