  • Congrats! For me it also has bin godsend that the company allowwes Linux for developers as an exception. In my case it also means that you yourself are responsible for everything yourself, backup, upgrades, security, etc. The only thing they make sure is that the Cisco VPN is also working (it’s shitty but anyway) with Linux.

    But that is exactly what I want. They do offer a corporate Ubuntu image, which I used one time but hated it, so I blasted it and installed Arch (btw.).

    I still need to run MS office and Teams, but I do that in the Browser (have to use Chromium for it because it doesn’t work well in Librewolf). But like you say, those pills are much easier to swallow compared to winning Windows 11 on a daily basis, especially as a IT professional.










  • It’s easy to make a movie sound dumb by attacking only the weak points and not acknowledging why it is very popular.

    For Bladerunner for example:

    Half the movie is just people wandering through neon fog acting like every sentence is the meaning of life. And yet somehow nobody ever explains anything.

    Deckard is supposed to be this legendary hunter but spends most of the time getting tossed around by the very things he’s meant to “retire.”

    The world looks incredible, yeah, but it’s basically style doing all the heavy lifting while the plot tiptoes behind hoping nobody asks questions.

    And the big emotional moments? They land mostly because the soundtrack shoves them at you, not because the story bothered to earn them.
