People buy into the BS sold by companies, they eat it all up without thinking twice about it. It’s easier to point fingers at each other than at companies when companies are paying so much money to attack end-users.

Sounds like a pretty shitty place to work for then lol

My first job I was using Windows, thankfully I was able to use Linux my next 3 jobs in a row. It really helps justify Linux when our production servers are always running Linux.

Part of being an adult is never getting enough sleep and almost always being tired.

I think even if they do reverse course or it was a genuine mistake, it’s easy to lose people’s trust forever, ESPECIALLY when it comes to something sensitive like storing ALL of your passwords.

For me, the biggest thing was the program not running from a single window. IIRC there was actually a separate fork of GIMP that made it run in a single window called GIMPshop or something, and that made it into a single window. I’m not sure when GIMP itself got single window functionality.

It’s a lot more usable these days.

$100 LOL

That’s what private trackers (and torrents in general) are for, but private trackers commonly share copyrighted materials, which is of course not so legal depending on where you live.

My current company treats effort the same as time. I can appreciate that they’re at least honest about that lol

My first and third job had daily standup, my second and fourth job don’t have daily standup. I’m on my fourth job. I love not having standup.

That would be so unfortunate, I would definitely hate that!

Plus, there’s always piracy. With that said, I generally prefer the older games anyway.

Holy shit why is this so true LMAO

There are dozens of us!

Still impressive imo, I have friends who work in IT who don’t even self-host lol

That’s really wholesome lol

I like to call myself a professional idiot. I love tinkering with my homelab setup.

As someone with a strong tech background, that’s just impressive to me. It’s cool to see non-technical people are interested in self-hosting too, and for good reason.

Technically there’s no substitute for testing in production lol

Although ideally you’d want to test it beforehand…

My last 3 employers have let me use Linux on my work laptop, I’ve gone with Ubuntu each time, it has worked really well for me. I’m lucky that I get to use Linux since I work as a web dev, it often matches production more easily that way.
