  • My job I’m classified as remote. And I like it that way. Recently they have decided that a bunch of people even if remote will now have to come on site at least hybrid. For “collaboration”. I even noted that in my employment contract I had in there that I was to work from home, to which HR said that they really don’t care.

    My last year-end review was stellar. Top marks, praises from multiple departments, even got a promotion.

    But I happen to live to close to a location, so there’s ‘simply nothing that can be done’. So I’ve already started looking for different work.



  • When you attack Stonehenge I’m not listening to what your ideology is. Because all I see is you being a jackass. Attacking works of arts or in this case Stonehenge to me looks like a child in a restaurant yelling and screaming that they want a cookie. I’m not going to give in to the demands of the child just because they’re loud. You’ll notice I don’t talk about the ideologies, I talk about their actions, so it didn’t work.

    Their unapologetic human exploitation to get the things made. When I think of Apple, I think of anti-suicide nets designed to prevent you from jumping to your death due to work conditions.

    Anti-consumer practices. Which pairs well with the low quality, but high prices. (Before someone starts yelling at me, think how many strait up destroyed Apple product charging cables you’ve seen vs any other brand, or go watch Louis Rossmann)

    A walked garden experience. Both in software in hardware.

    I want to bring up prices again. Everything is overpriced.

    They do a bunch of the same things Microsoft does, but for some reason, get a pass. The features on an iPhone lag behind Android. But for some reason, Apple is heralded as a leader and innovative.









  • To downplay these differences and claim that all distributions are the same is ignorant. Anyone who wants to get the most out of Linux should be aware of the wealth of options available.

    That’s the definition of not being user friendly. And it’s not like shoes. Because trying on a pair of shoes takes minutes, at a store that generally has hundreds of shoes available. And shoes literally do one thing. Your average user does not have nor want to spend nights and weekends troubleshooting the distro they’re ‘trying out’ to see if it works best, then to continue troubleshooting it down the road.

    But I do like how you ignored a lot of what of what I said, because it didn’t fit your response. Because unlike you apparently, I think of people besides myself. You also make wild assumptions about me. Should I show you my RHEL installation? CentOS? My Debian servers… I have dedicated hardware and VMs. And I also run Windows. Do I get to have an argument now… do I pass your weird gatekeeping threshold?

    And that’s still not addressing the circle jerk where far to many people put linux on some pedestal, worship it, and assume their better than everyone because “btw, I use arch”. Like every distro isn’t going to try to milk as much money out of it as they can if they think they can get away with it. Ubuntu is the most approachable distro (that I’m aware of) and often gets suggested, especially to new uses. Linux is not immune to the problems that plague MacOS or Windows.
