The majority of people in charge of our education system don’t even have kids in the system… School boards are chock full of retired boomers who moved to OK after their kids were fully grown. And then there are the massive amount of religious nuts… Oklahoma does not offer education and hasn’t for decades. No one what wants to change that can get elected because of aforementioned boomers and religious zealots.
Best suggestion I can give is don’t sleep on staffing agencies. I avoided them for years until I got desperate. I had several job options within a few days. The people I talked to seemed legit excited to talk to someone that wasn’t looking for manual labor or factory jobs (and was capable of more).
Why the fuck do people ask ChatGPT for shit like this? ChatGPT doesn’t know facts. It’s a magic 8-ball with more words.
I don’t actually know if it is a Wayland issue - most of those forum posts are like 3 years old… And I have definitely used these same AppImages in the past on Wayland without issue. I think the AppImages are expecting some specific dependency to be installed on my system that is no longer installed due to updates. (which I thought was counter to the entire point of an AppImage? I thought it was supposed to be kinda like Flatpak where it has it’s dependencies in the image? Maybe I just misunderstood AppImage…)
To give you some hope, my Distro switched to Wayland as default a little over a year ago (i think) and I have not been running into problems (outside this AppImage problem, if it is indeed a Wayland issue, which I cannot confirm or deny).
I don’t know what you are smoking, I’ve used OBS for years installed from the AUR with zero problems…
I seem to have constant issues with AppImages. Every single one I have currently won’t open. I get an error message relating to either qT or GTK. Tried searching for the error and get a bunch of old forum threads talking about either not being compatible with Wayland at all, or comments stating that the one specific AppImage in question must have been “packaged badly”. Thankfully, nothing ‘mission critical’ for me is an AppImage currently, but it is quite upsetting that I have the most problems with the supposed “just works” app packaging/distribution option.
I was rooting for Lemon Party.
This honestly feels like an “everyone sucks here” situation. It’s obviously bad that the publisher just sacked the 3 founders of a developer and replaced them with a CEO from a developer they just scuttled… But then there is this terrible sell-out deal the devs went for where 1/3 of the sale price of the company was tied up in sales performance with the deadline rapidly approaching so of course they want to put out a shiny new title for people to buy even though they keep having to cut the planned content down to almost nothing. (supposedly, obvi I haven’t played it…)
AND THEN there is what I am calling Schrodinger’s Beta. It is supposedly right now ready for early access release (which means Krafton delaying the game is proof of being shady and avoiding the bonus), but also likely going to flop because they got rid of the founders and now they won’t have the devs to make it any good (making Krafton correct in delaying the EA because it isn’t ready yet…).
This whole thing is a mess of pointing fingers and no one knows what’s real. Truth of the matter is probably that both sides are right. Dev’s want to push the game out to get the rest of what they feel they are owed, whether the game is ready for EA be damned. Publisher wants to not pay for any of that, downsize the dev team to finish production as cheap as possible just to drop a steaming turd with just enough name recognition to keep their line going up, but not to make enough money they can’t plausible deniability sink another developer. I hope I’m wrong, because I was looking forward to Subnautica 2 (mostly just to have a multiplayer subnautica experience), but the industry has mostly convinced me to assume the worst in everyone.
