  • A lot of the prominent members of terrorist paramilitaries that later formed tzahal were from r*ssian empire a lot of theorists as well, specifically from territory of modern Ukraine mostly due to “pale of settlement” policy of the empire. I think that’s what gp hinted at (don’t know what language they spoke predominantly, mostly yiddish I think).



  • What DE or WM (and distro if relevant) do you use for your actual, professional work?

    KDE/Arch

    Was this a choice by you or pre-selected by the employer? Do they allow you to work on your own device if desired? (Excluding freelancers obv.)

    Choice was made by me (everyone except one person at the time was running arch with kde as well 🙃). Yeah, bringing your own device was allowed as long as disk was encrypted.

    Do you need to balance stability vs. customisability? Or is that a no-brainer for you? (=“Have you ever had to cancel a meeting because an Arch update broke your screen sharing?”)

    No, this never happened to me with work machine, arch is extremely simple to maintain as long as you follow simple procedure of reading news and keeping out-of-repos packages to minimum.

    How much time do you find reasonable to put into maintaining/developing your setup?

    Maintaining - up to an hour a week. Developing - dunno, I haven’t changed things since kde 5 - 6 transition and it was a small change as well.

    Did distro choice (or lack thereof) impact your choices for DE/WM?

    Who knows, probably not.

    Do you feel like your code editor, language stack, or job profile has an impact on the choices? For example, is your profile very specific (“I go to dailies and turn tickets into code / I work alone for weeks at a time researching stuff”), allowing you to optimise the setup further?

    Well, emacs has some impact on my psyche worldview probably. 😄
