I did that in the 90’s. My boss and our director f’ing hated it. I missed the most awful meetings, missed the worst day of commute, got to miss the occasional lunches. It was bliss. That was before Boeing started letting us work from home a decade later.
No wonder we cut it off. :)
You wouldn’t have a chance, HR would have been notified instantly, because that’s creepy A.F.
Probably one of the future utopias, where there is no need for material wealth, where we have reached the point of being able to upload (and download back again) our consciousness, so we can have virtual worlds and real ones. No scarcity. Where we’ve mastered wormholes for travel.
I don’t, because I’m not a Chad.
Books, books, books! O’Reilly publishing is your best friend. Search engines are next. And finally, Youtube.
That’s fair. I’m finding myself more tolerant since I’ve had lunch. Have a good day.
I clink my beverage with yours, dear person!
Ouch! That sucks!
I won’t be an apologist for people’s shortcomings, especially when those hurt Linux adoption.
The message: Join the Linux and FOSS utopia, quit wasting life gaming (unless you do it to spend quality time with your child, as computer games are for children), make real relationships not based on conforming and not based on promoting non-FOSS solutions, learn how to properly run and secure a computer, as it is a responsibility and a tool, not a toy and not something you should trust anyone else to administer, stop paying for software written for non-FOSS platforms, and finally, again, more responsibility in knowing how to properly and safely use a computer. That time wasted gaming could have been spent educating oneself on how to use, administer, and secure computers. It can also be used to properly call this stuff out in order to help create a more perfect society.
Did you think the burn in heck was for you? It wasn’t. It’s for people who only write software for Windows because it makes them more money. No one was being hostile to you. Seriously, what the heck?
Did I object to making money? No. I object to allowing the making of money to be the guiding principle of software development. Make something great? Want to sell it? Fine. But only write it for Windows because it will sell better? Burn in heck.
Oh we need it, it’s just how to make linux survive in a capitalist world where things are only made for platforms that can make them money.
And I totally agree with you. I just lament that games and other made for Windows software is what’s enabling that. People should just want a free and opensource operating system as a matter of self interest… but no. It’s games and Windows apps. Yet another sign that our species is just sick in the head. :)
:( I am sorry. I honestly am. :(
