Thanks for promoting the new community. You’re doing good work.

Hello fellow basher.

This made me chortle. I remember when I first joined a dev team asking someone how many of something their section should be able to store:

I don’t know, I’d have to look at the code.

It was an eye opening moment. Very few people can keep everything in their head. I’ve met a couple. They were rockstars who were truly exceptional.

I recognize this. I watched a video of this shitbag pretending to be mentally unwell for the cameras after he shot some people.

- refuses to purchase tools that would make job easier

- plans huge upgrade of client devices first thing Monday morning rather than Friday evening

- licenses one of the least effective security tools to save money

- forces an over-reliance on Google apps despite Drive having shit search capabilities

- makes you get A+ certified even though you’ve been in the industry for many years before allowing pursuit of higher certs

- says “happy Monday” every week as if that isn’t soul-draining

- thinks we have a great culture because we declare “beer o’clock” on a Friday every few months and end early

- talks loudly in an open office when he take phone calls

- plays shitty music when he gets control of the stereo hooked to an old computer

- mandates back to office as the pan is winding down and then let’s all of management not come to the office on the first day back

- can’t understand why this angered workers

I love projects like this. It’s way harder to do in Bash, but that’s what makes it interesting. The unnecessary effort to do it right shows real skill.

Another reason not to go there.

Very interesting. Cheers!

I go about six months to a year between hearing from or reaching out to certain friends. We have busy lives and live far apart. I hadn’t seen some friends in years and finally took a road trip to two cities to see people in 2023. It’d been over a decade since I’d seen one of the friends.

I keep space heaters in every room (except kitchen and bathrooms). Why heat the whole place when I’m just one person in one spot? (She bundles under blankets because the space heaters dry her skin, but similar end result.)

Haha, four “spontaneous” battery fires. Yes, that’s what happened. Close the investigation.

What a great con. Wish I’d thought of it.

I will check this out!

The system seems quite a bit quicker than it was in Windows - though in all honesty this will also be because I’m still on a fairly fresh install.

I don’t think your Linux install is likely to slow down the way Win does.

The little icon jumping next to your cursor when opening a program (I know, I’m easily amused).

I consider Win unique as an OS that doesn’t provide feedback when something is happening in the background. It’s infuriating.

The lingering feeling of instability.

You’ve spent decades on the other system and when you started, you were too young to feel anxiety about it. You’ll get used to it.

The capslock works differently, apparently. I’m used to writing every capital letter using the capslock key, meaning if I write a capital at the beginning of a word, I press capslock, then type the first letter, then quickly press capslock again and type the rest.

I don’t understand why you don’t use the Shift key. I’m not trying to be an ass; why not use Shift?

I say all of this as a Mac guy who uses Linux for servers and such. I don’t daily-drive Linux as a desktop platform. But I greatly respect Linux and pay to support the Asahi Linux project (they are building Linux for Apple Silicon). I wish you all the best finding your way in a Windows-free world.

Used to let workers devote 20% of their time to personal projects to attract the best people. How times change.

This is a completely normal statistic. I heard it’s even higher in Canada. /s

It’s funny that one probably-landlord downvoted this. You know who you are, scum-sucking leech.

Born on third base. Thinks they hit a triple.

Accurate.
