  • I 4 years ago I remotely reinstalled Wonderware and necessary drivers on a Windows NT3.51 HMI controlling a mango line in Africa (I don't remember exactly, maybe Burkina?). Not fun, there wasn't much documentation left.One year later I had to do it again.

  • Yeah and the countries that don't will pass you by and become your next lords. It's an unfortunate situation humankind is in.

  • Discomfort pay. I think doing disgusting or hard jobs should carry EXTRA pay.

  • Yeah but a degree is not a get-out-of-shit-job-free card... We all have to take what the market offers, or get creative, start a business, etc.

    And it's not like people without degrees don't put effort into improving their skills.

    As long as the majority of people can just forget unpleasant jobs exists and leave them to the less fortunate, the incentive to make them less shitty is weak.

  • Don't confuse technological and societal progress.

    It may not be positive for society, but you still can't stop progress, if you don't develop what's possible, someone else will.

  • It's almost like proprietary software is built to maximize shareholder profits above user friendliness

  • You won't find a 100% replacement because npp has a bunch of very specific plugins, but often those plugins would be unnecessary on Linux because you already have other utilities that perform those jobs. You don't need a plugin to ssh into a server to edit files when you've got sshfs for example.

    Anyway you can use Geany on Gnome or Kate on KDE.

  • Ok, so a few points, from a lifelong industrial OEM technician:

    First of all, there's nothing wrong with factory jobs IF your employer takes care of its workers, that's a big "if" but one all the world's workers should take care of, since manufacturing is of course one of the biggest areas of employment and it's not going away anytime soon.

    My job, working for an equipment manufacturer, can be quite enjoyable and well paid, again depending on the employer, I'd advice any technically inclined individual to look into it. St the same time, I'd never work as a maintenance tech in a factory, that's usually a very stressful job, with emergency work in poor condition, often pushed to work unsafely because of the rush, on old machines often dirty or in poor repair.Still, I've seen some people make quite a comfortable position in that setting, so it may not be all bad.

    As for pay, I think pay should depend mostly on 3 factors: effort, skill and comfort. Those who work harder, are more skilled and are forced into unpleasant settings should be paid more. If you want a more comfortable job you cannot expect to make more than a good, equally skilled worker who's in noisy, dangerous or disgusting environments, and so on.

    I don't understand the intergenerational employment point, that sounds sorta dystopic and has no connection to the rest of the argument.
