Wow. I thought a couple of his old Linux Sucks talks were kind of funny, but never knew anything about him personally. Kind of sad to learn he’s an asshole.

President Musk hasn’t paid the other 85% yet.

Are hotels in the UK not equipped with toasters?

Too impatient to wait for the Japanese toilet to blow my freshly-bideted asshole dry, but polite enough to wipe up the questionably poopy water that drips from it when I stand up too soon.

I started putting mine in a binder with clear sleeves, roughly sorted by theme.

I recently bought one of those hundred packs from Amazon for like $6 and picked about 30 to keep. Still indecisive about which ones to use, and most of those 30 will probably go in the sticker binder. The rest are in a bag that I’ll probably drop in one of those little library boxes for someone else to sift through… or hold onto for like a year and then throw away.

A language is only as enjoyable as the hellish legacy projects that you’ll actually spend your time maintaining.

I wasn’t able to install from the Play Store, but it’s on F-Droid too.

No judgment here, and to be clear I don’t mean to invalidate her suspicion or yours. It wouldn’t surprise me if there were unethical individuals in HR who take things like this as an opportunity to call out things they don’t like… But in my experience, the asking part is pretty typical, and I doubt it was targeted.

For me, I-9 verification was very early on in the onboarding process. A list of eligible I-9 documents was provided in the onboarding paperwork and HR scheduled a time in my first day or two to show them on camera. Took maybe 2 minutes once we were actually on the call.

I didn’t press them on why when asked to unblur, but given I-9 is about presenting documents that verify your identity / eligibility to work, I suspect it’s best practice to avoid any obvious image processing as a matter of policy. At the very least, not having to worry about the paper getting blurred just makes things easier. Ultimately, they’re keeping these images on file to cover their own ass, so they want them to look as clear and legitimate as possible.

For me it was strictly during onboarding for verifying I-9 documents. I assume it’s just to ensure any documents you present aren’t getting software blurred.

Not a racism thing. Happened to me at my last two companies (white guy, both remote jobs).

I install a few others every now and again to try new things, but it’s usually ad-driven / endless predatory MTX bullshit.
