Are we competing again?

I’m proud to be setting up a rhel10 desktop, as it’ll be the first time I ran Linux as a desktop in 30 years of a Linux/Unix career.

To rephrase: I ran XFree86 on a 4mb i386 machine 30 years ago.

What do I win?

I’ll tell you, that’s not supposed to happen.

Not like in my case. I joke that Stockholm Syndrome takes time ;-)

You had me in the first sentence; not gonna lie. The second one, though, just goes off the rails.

Your phone was right: this isn’t a word.

There are other points during an interview process to lay out your pay expectations.

Yeah. I ask them to justify the planning for this position and confirm the budget. They will have a budget.

Yeah. I’m brutal in the interview. I’ll let them know they are a finalist, but that I can ultimately only choose one employer for the daytime role.

But I want to weed out the egotists and ‘family’ shops so everyone understands. I’ll connect stand-by, OT and hybrid work rules to a higher wage given more demand and bad architecture, and ask them to justify de-prioritizing reliability and proper architecture with band-aids. And we’ll talk about the cost of living around the mandated office location and how 4x a 2/2 rent compares to their entry wage.

Sometimes, though, I’ll wordsmith it a bit to get the answers and then only review their answers later in the competition before confirming that their position as a candidate for my next employer has ended.

35 years too! Dated for 25.0 years, married for 9.6 years.

Good news: session save/restore

Bad news: lennart’s tumor

Verdict: nope.

That’s a special dietary need.

going to be very disappointed

What’s that look like? We don’t vote Red* because we like all the policies, but because the only alternative capable of pulling even a minority would be Trump levels of disastrous for us all.

So, would “disappointment” just be a harder grimace while continuing to vote to block the blue*?

*Note that in my country the blues are like Republicans and reds are the business-friendly investment/consolidated socialist-adjacents at centre of our spectrum.

Container and Ai ! Now you get the sparkle junkie virus, guys!

Manners. Maketh. Man.

Yes.

You let people see your eyes so you can talk and put them at ease. What are you, a cop in Alabama whose authoritah someone needs to respect?

Urge to help is fading.

if you can clear snow, you can clear other debris.

It is then we’re reminded of the ability of good writers and performers to take even a low-potential idea and fucking kill it. With a pen. In the study.

I’ll see your “Full-ass conversations” and raise you “Full-ass technical convos” with no knowledge of talking on the phone the next day… which made for a weird follow-up.

Jebus. I never even suspect lennart’s people metastasized into there too.

Dude. We fear this as pasty-white Canadians. I cannot imagine what the fear should be like with less Republican-esque looks.
