Maybe you should think a little more about the shareholders and little less about yourself. /s

Listen, I built enough lego bridges back in the day to know I ain’t trusting that.

I always called that the Shapiro technique, but Ramble-swamble is so much better.

There’s a lot to unpack here and I’m not sure I want to.

Somebody get that poor pig out of there before the car explodes

If anyone demands I implement some feature into one of my open source projects that I either don’t have time for or don’t want to do, my response is one of the following:

1. I’ll get to it when I can (if I actually care to do it)
2. You are welcome to implement it yourself and submit a PR
3. You are welcome to fork the project and do it yourself or convince someone else to do it

But thankfully, my projects don’t have a very wide audience, so requests/demands are rare.

Personally, I found Arch to be difficult to get installed. I’m ok with command line stuff once everything is all setup, but having to use it for the installation process is something I found to be too easy to screw up and too time consuming overall. Also, I haven’t seen any drop of vanilla Arch with a GUI installer. For the Arch experience, I generally go with EndeavourOS since it’s easy to install, gives you lots of options for the window manager, and is easy to use once you get it up and running.

If you’d prefer the Debian environment, I think anything from Debian or any of its derivatives (Ubuntu et al) would be a decent choice. My favorite is Linux Mint. I’ve seen a lot of people describe it like “entry-level” Linux, but it’s very capable and user friendly. It’s where I tend to spend most of my time when running Linux and I would say usually requires the least setup since it typically just works out of the box.

There’s also OpenSUSE Tumbleweed if you feel like going a somewhat different direction. I get more “traditional Linux” vibes from OpenSUSE, but packaged up in a user friendly manner. I play around with it from time to time in a VM, mostly when I want to test out some new server package locally. But, that said, it’s still capable of handling anything else I throw at it, so it’s fun to use all the same.

Cool, we desperately need this. Shame it’ll die in the senate.

No, I don’t work with recruitment agencies anymore. Only ever had bad experiences with them earlier in my career, so these days, I apply for positions directly.

In the last 3 months, I’ve managed to get 2 interviews and the last one ghosted me. It’s still pretty bad for some of us.

Unity employees are shareholders, but greatly in the minority compared to the executives. The C-suite is routinely granted thousands of shares while the lowly employees are given a few hundred RSUs every year, which vest over a period of 4 years. It’s kinda bullshit how little equity employees by comparison, but definitely by design.

Seriously, wake me when accountability actually happens.

Who let Bear Grylls in here?

Physical punishment in schools is still a thing??? I had to endure that back in the 90s, but I thought for sure people would have figured out better ways to discipline kids by now.

Agreed. I keep seeing news outlets trying to turn this into a story, but I just don’t give a flying fuck what two consenting adults do on their own time. All this reporting has done is making me aware that an actual human is running for a political position, so probably not the shock and awe they were going for.

I started out with blue switches years ago and they were obnoxiously loud, so I switched to reds and used those for a long time. Though, I kinda got tired of them and decided to give the Keychron banana switches a try several months ago and I’m absolutely loving them. They have a light tactile feeling, but they’re much quieter than Cherry browns. And a huge bonus is that Keychron keys are hotswappable, so if I get any bad keys or feel like switching to a new type, no having to deal with soldering to replace them.

Well, now I know what cake I want for my next birthday.

This is really nice. I’ve been using Mint for years and didn’t know about it.
