  • When people complain about Windows in a work environment, I wonder really what their complaints are. I mean I don’t like windows either but at the end of the day you’re just using visual studio and maybe a terminal emulator to access your work. Your codebase is on a test server or production server.

    That said, my mind was blown when I used my first mac. Even the best windows laptop I’ve been given at work would maybe last 4 hours without charging. I can use my Mac for almost two days without charging it which makes going to the office that much easier when I can sit outside. I don’t know if Windows is just extremely inefficient with its resource management or of it’s all the bullshit spyware companies bloat every PC with but if the company absolutely won’t let you install a Linux desktop OS I’d just ask for a Mac. Plenty of staff use them at universities



  • Nah, I mean, sharing this on LinkedIn is basically a “humble brag”, LinkedIn is all about marketing yourself as a professional brand. If she needed an outlet she’d discuss this with a friend, a coworker, or even an actual social media platform. It’s basically like “I can’t stop crushing goals, my husband is content just existing, is there something wrong with me? Why am I such a beast? Why is he content being lame? Anyone else feel this or am I in a minority of overachievers?”

    Not even bringing up the fact that this is very publicly scrutinizing her husband, or at the least, airing out her laundry. I’d be furious if someone shared a private, intimate conversation just to make a point for social media validation. But then again, I’m a pretty private person.

    I think if she was actually crushing her goals, she’d do so in silence. That’s what most overachievers actually do.









  • It’s not really so much about the party moving “left” as much as them not appealing to their base or representing their constituents’ ideals. Kamala was asked if she’d done anything differently than Biden and she said no. When most Americans are facing economic uncertainty, that’s about the worst thing you can possibly say. People vote for change and they weren’t willing to sell that. They too went on TV and said the economy is great because of the stock market.

    The party has no teeth, they’re not willing to talk about major issues like economic inequality because they too have to bend the knee to the oligarchs. Bernie had the right idea by fundraising on grassroots but the party seems to think they can keep toeing the middle and appeal to the “moderate Democrat” which simply doesn’t exist.



  • You really don’t need to. Corpo speak is really just for speaking across different lines of business, like an engineer talking to a project manager or a sales exec talking to a customer. As long as you can express your concerns respectfully then it’s not necessary.

    So instead of saying something like “what you’re asking for makes no sense, that’s not my job” you’d say something like “I want to make sure we’re both understanding the requirements. Send me what you’re proposing and I’ll get you pointed in the right direction.”
