There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

  • Slackware Linux. For a while I thought, when it boots up KDE with a browser you’re basically done, and it’s kinda cool running the oldest surviving Linux distro.
    The simplicity under the hood is kinda cool, too.
    But every single thing I tried to get working on top of the base install (Flatpak, Steam, Slackbuilds, energy management, etc…) was a fight, and at some point I thought “fuck this, all these issues were solved 15 years ago by others.”



















  • From a European perspective, 3 weeks isn’t good. 24 days is the legal minimum where I live. 30 is standard.
    I got lucky and found a job with 42, and sick days aren’t counted against those.
    It’s honestly hard to take them sometimes. Not due to pushback from the employer, but because you have to find 42 days without fixed appointments.

    But if you don’t take your PTO, you are forced to by your team leader, otherwise the company can get in trouble.
