It has been a while since I applied anywhere… but they all want degrees and professional experience last time I looked :(
Idk maybe I should start applying again sometime. It’s not like I have a resume to show them beyond retail/supply chain work though lol. I don’t even have contributions to open-source projects to show tbh. I never finish any of my projects.
I actually have worked on a few open-source projects but I never submitted my patches… then I forget about them and they get lost to time lol. On stock OpenBSD (which I run), my desktop PC’s audio is kinda broken (long story, can link you a post I made about it if you’re curious) so I had to patch the OpenBSD kernel Intel HDA (corpo acronym but the last letter means “audio”) driver to make it work properly (had to add a whole new mode of operation for what I think is probably broken hardware, like my motherboard manufacturer fucked it up). I’m still maintaining that patch on my own lol, I need to submit it.
It’s good advice and I don’t mind, I’m just maining untreated ADHD rn, maybe that’s why I don’t do these things
As for my own projects… these grand and often probably ridiculous ideas for software (recent example: video game as a filesystem) come into my head and I hack on them obsessively for a while and never finish them because of the scale :(
The hacker space is a really great idea, I should look into that, thank you. Would love to find/make some Plan 9 weirdos in my area lol
Ooh I didn’t know what a groove box was til I looked it up just now, looks cool but I’m sorry you found out you didn’t like :(
I hope at least you can find good money in computers or get to work with them in some capacity related to things you like. Like… computers on the ocean… ocean computers… or even just getting to help people. I think I would hate most computer jobs lol cuz so much of it is the most useless shit
I gotta go to bed, am really tired, but it’s been fun talking
