Isn't that what VCs in general are doing? Hiring for more money, with more expected gains from you, with a different kind of legal arrangement, but still hiring nevertheless.
foobar2000, IrfanView, Total Commander. The 3 apps I still miss after 15+ years of not using Windows (went through 10 years of OSX, now on Linux for probably 5 years).
There's just nothing like this trio on OSX or Linux.
Description copied from the Firmware Developer role, have a look at the careers page for many more details!
We’re Trezor (https://trezor.io/), a leading company in crypto security, that has pioneered the hardware wallet industry. As a Firmware Developer, you’ll help us develop firmware that runs on thousands of Trezor devices all over the world. Basically, our products put people at ease knowing their digital assets are safe. Your job here will consist of providing new features, fixing bugs, and solving difficult technical problems. Along the way, you'll gain valuable insights into the practical application of cryptography.
We picture you as a skilled developer who has a background in Python programming and has completed at least some side projects in Rust. A solid understanding of C will also be necessary.
Together, we will bring new hardware wallets to life, including a flagship Trezor product with Bluetooth connectivity. Sounds exciting, right?

I see. Language barrier here. In my language "criminal" is somebody that killed another person. Seems in English the word can be used for any "unlawful activity". Good to know.
Seems that the movement is going through a small renaissance now. Basically - yes, the internet made it irrelevant for a long time if you think about Ham as a way to form communities, meet random people on the other side of the planet...
But imagine having devices talk to each other without the internet. This is where it starts to become really interesting!
While I've been a PHP hater most of my life, as I get older I start appreciating its simplicity. I still think it's a terrible language, but I would not be surprised if it went through a revival period simply because everything else has so much more unneeded complexity.
Can't comment for all aspects of a Linux desktop versus an OpenBSD desktop, but one example that comes to mind is the sound system. Just try reading the design paper of sndio [1]. It is a pure joy to read. A beautiful architecture.
Now compare that with ALSA / PulseAudio / JACK / PipeWire... The audio system in Linux is fragmented and incomprehensible.
Indeed! I am heating myself exclusively with wood every winter for 10 years now, since I moved to the countryside. Energy does literally grow on trees.
> let's take care at least a bit about the environment
You know that producing that PC used way more energy than it would consume if you left it running?
> taking into account how much electricity rose in Europe
This seems like your main reason actually. Your wallet, not the environment. If the energy prices went down, you would have kept the old PC around rather than having it end up in a landfill or shipped to a poor country where people literally burn the PCBs to recover tiny bits of rare metals.
cmus [1] is the closest I found to foobar2000. It is my main music player now, after years of disappointment. It supports FLAC and they claim they support CUE sheets, although I haven't tested your particular scenario. The way I use it is I have all my library in it at once, iTunes style. It has good search & playlists, but no drag&drop, since it's just command line...
