  • This was more than a decade ago. Someone from HR mistakenly emailed a spreadsheet of all employees’ salaries to a bunch of people who aren’t authorized to see it. As part of my job, my team was tasked to track down all traces of the file on email and company workstations and remove it. Naturally I was able to see the file because of my task. I saw how low my pay was compared to my colleagues and how absurd it jumps up in just a couple of levels in rank. I and a lot of employees quit shortly after.





  • I really thought I watched an unfinished version of this movie by mistake. That’s how bad the CGI was. It doesn’t help that the director defended the cgi by saying they did it on purpose because when Barry is moving fast, things will look “distorted” from his perspective. What a laughable excuse. I remember seeing all the very positive reviews from an advanced screening like a month before release. Makes me think all those reviewer testimonies were paid.

    Bad CGI aside, the plot was ok but execution was terrible. They made multiverses and time traveling seem so mundane and the viewer doesn’t really feel the weight or the implications of Barry’s actions. The jokes fell flat for me too. As usual, it’s always Batman who comes out as the best thing in these kinds of movies. Batfleck looked so bloated and weird though, and Affleck looked fine out of costume so I don’t know what was going on there.




  • It’s the first step of installation, making a bootable usb/CD. Most non-technical people can’t be arsed to create a bootable drive, then go into the bios boot settings to run it. I haven’t used Windows in a long time so I don’t know how it’s installed these days, but the fact that it comes installed out-of-the-box when people buy a computer lets them skip the first and biggest step to running linux, which is getting it installed in the first place.

    Distros have come a long way that a Windows user trying Linux Mint can hit the ground running. It’s no longer about the learning curve for USING linux, it’s INSTALLING linux that’s the problem.



  • Is faster. I don’t care about the extra bells and whistles, and I want a straightforward functioning system that allows me to do what I need to do. I also like that I can customize my desktop experience to my heart’s desires. I can literally change the way my system looks if I get bored of it. Most importantly, the lack of tracking/telemetry and being a smaller target on the web.
