  • Most people who get promoted in my company are taking holidays after being hired, are back from maternity/paternity leave, are taking lots of break, some don’t even work the hours they should.

    The key is just to be visible.

    Those who work a lot silently are not visible because they think they will be noticed, and the management needs them to stay where they are to do the hard work.

    Just take your leaves.



  • Considering the high proportion of the population with ancestors who were illegal immigrants, there’s also a question of what you consider as acceptable.

    If illegal immigrants in the US are all white Christian beautiful women filling jobs that locals don’t want to do in healthcare, is it different than Pedro from Honduras who works in construction but looks like he could be a drug mule.







  • You’re referring to sources from UN who are only counting what they saw, and late, and they obviously didn’t go to Mariupol where it’s estimated that up to 80000 civilians died there alone, mass graves proves that, add to that all the daily killing and executions of civilians, including since the constant russian bombardment of Ukraine since 2014, it goes in the 100000 easily. Probably 150000 or 200000.

    Putin would have NEVER been able to make rubbles of Kyiv. Ukraine is 15000x the size of Gaza. Russia doesn’t have enough missiles except if using nukes. Russian bombers can’t even get close to Ukraine borders without being shot down. I remind you also that they send hundreds of kamikaze drones to Ukraine every night that they produce 24/7 as much as they can, each costing about 100000$… And Ukraine is still well there and alive… Russia just can’t do it…

    Now let’s be clear that civilians in no country should suffer from the craziness of stupid political leaders, wether russian, israeli, american, palestinians, and soon chinese. It’s time power goes to the people, not to corrupted elites.






  • Sometimes you gotta be realistic that the majority of the population wouldn’t have found Linux as friendly as many here are, even today, while Windows or is/was kinda the obvious mainstream choice for running any software… The balance seems to tip slowly, but honestly it took decades.

    Even today you’re still all debating which distro that didn’t exist 10 years ago is the best, and which office suite can match Microsoft’s… How am I going to convince my non-nerd friends to use Linux over Windows in that context.

    About gaming, it’s a matter of being able to run AAA games without issues, like, no bugs and anti-cheat problems. It’s only since SteamOS that it is getting enough programmers and mainstream attention.

    This is the way, but once again it required the power of a dominant company to move the lines.
