This is the part where they do the thing they're about to start accusing others of also doing.

I'm sorry this happened to you. Just know that there are assholes everywhere, and they often tend to be the most vocal, especially when they can hide behind anonymity. Try not to let them discourage you.

MacOS is Unix, Linux is Unix like

MacOS uses Darwin as its kernel. Darwin is sort of based on BSD, which is also a unix-like kernel.

For context, these Democrats voted to end the government shutdown. It was largely viewed by the public as being the Republicans fault, as they hold control of the House and Senate and the office of the President. Dems were holding out for a renewal of subsidies for healthcare costs, where if the subsidies lapsed then many would see their health insurance premiums double, triple or worse. There wasn't much incentive for the Democrats to make any concessions. Yet, for a few crumbs, they gave away their only leverage for retaining those subsidies, on the promise that there would be a vote. A vote which will not pass. If it were going to pass, they would have ended the shutdown.

Your interpretation of the original comment was fair, and I agree with you. Death threats are unacceptable.

Edit: I was wrong. Slotkin wasn't one of the Dems who voted to end the shutdown.

I guess my take-away was that Democrats should stop making concessions and attempting to work with this hostile administration, as if the administration were acting in good faith. If you make those concessions, you're still just as likely to end up with a target on your back and 1000s of death threats if you don't continue to roll over the next time. I feel like this should have been obvious to Democrats already, though.

Guess he's really not planning to leave if he's doing this much redecorating.

Example: I travel semi frequently and will work my usual hours in different timezones. Teams makes you restart the app on MacOS just to change fucking timezones.

This just happened to me this week. It was definitely not something I would have expected. I'm really disappointed we had to migrate onto Teams.

My money is on nuclear self-destruction. We have way too many of these things in the hands of extremely poor leadership. It really feels like it's just a matter of time.

When I'm researching something and a reddit link pops up in search results, I'll check it. But I have abandoned my account and won't be logging back in. Aside from that, I try to be as hardcore as possible.
