Funny, I often run into the most combative people with "ACKCHYUALLY" attitudes when speaking to libertarians. Republican Pot Smoking Edition models of political worldview tend to try very hard to defend their very nuanced mental gymnastics of being able to be a little empathetic on the surface socially while still turning their back on those less fortunate in actions.

If by staff you mean "volunteers", then yes. The actual Reddit staff that helped facilitate AMAs disappeared during the Ellen Pao drama.

It's hard to even take Windows seriously as a business OS when they're shoving this overly padded UI down everyone's throats. Windows 10 supported small task bars, among many other things that Windows 11 doesn't. There seems to be a lot of really tone deaf people at Microsoft working in silos, not really aware of the features people care about in their own product.

Sure he's burned bridges with me and other people I've talked to. They have a habit of reverting people's work and have a lot of back door conversations. Just because it's open source doesn't mean it's collaborative or that anyone has any input in the actual result, regardless of how much work they contribute towards it themselves.

They also cut a lot of corners and do sloppy work, and when called out on it, that's when they start ostracizing people. They work in bad faith in many situations with outsiders.

Which is fine we all like different things but what I said was true, take it or leave it, and you guys can fanboy downvote me and I can move on and not actually care either way.

For the people that really care about this distribution, they're only doing a disservice to themselves by being in denial about Linux mint disappearing tomorrow if a single person goes away, because that's the state of things.

I used to help maintain a Linux distro, and there is a level of polish Windows has that I feel cannot be reached by the FOSS ecosystem due the resources dumped into hiring dedicated teams at MS. Microsoft has tons of money. I'm sad about the direction of windows, but it generally works pretty well for how it's designed (which is in some cases awful).

It's hard for the US to ratify it because special interests have made it nearly impossible to restructure our system so it's modeled after healthcare being a right. ACA/medicaid expanded access, the intent is there, but "special interests" (ok republicans) have spent a decade declawing the law and have made it difficult to keep costs down by removing the insured mandate. As long as insurance is tied to employment, it will never be a right in the US.

5. I would overload the first portion of your resume with as many keywords related to the stacks you're familiar with because it's not like humans are reading these anyway.

Windows 11 development was led by the UI team that led Windows 8, and a team responsible for more of the internal Windows development was responsible for Windows 10. You can kind of tell by Windows 11 being an arbitrary UI change with numerous regressions.

The lack of a small taskbar mode was all it took for me to never upgrade. Just shows MS doesn't care about its users.

But really, there's Microsoft apps in that list.

I'm not surprised, I started receiving bans as soon as there were rumors of an IPO. Everything about the site experience has degraded since then. I still check it from a few teddit/libreddit instances, but otherwise never giving reddit a single monetizable gesture ever again.
