Ive just started in a government IT role; everything is windows, I use windows myself at home for games, but run WSL for hobby dev, home server management and stuff like that.

This is my first sysadmin role, having come from a Dev background, and administration on windows feels like such a chore. Everything takes ten steps to do, lots of issues, and feels very counter intuitive. I am not enjoying it at all. I suppose actual large scale Linux adminning probably has the same issues and I'm putting it down to lack of experience, but there's so many small niggly issues that I know I could solve if this was a Linux environment that I can't due to how windows is set up.

I'm hopefully getting to move into a more hybrid dev/admin role for some web stuff, but I firs thave to convince my boss to let me install WSL so O can have a sane dev environment for web dev.

That might be what the disagreement here is. The sentence is very ambiguous because its not literal, though it can be read literally as you did. The poster is saying "I'm the dumb one for being the only one working in valve who is reachable by the public directly through social media." Your interpretation isn't wrong, but without the wider context of shorthand speech patterns you get from English as a first language, it can be difficult to figure out the implied message. English has a funny habit of saying one thing, but meaning another thing.

Is English your first language?

I mean, I dont disagree that the concept is insanely idiotic but all they've done in the purge is take the concept of a pogrom and applied it to modern day america. The premise isn't that rediculous. It has happened, in real life. Yeah they've leaned into it, and dialed up the crazy fevor a bit, but its not so removed from real life accounts of pogroms.

I dont know where this OP is living but having a million Euros in savings is definitely NOT normal, nor is it "middle-class". Yes the houses can cost that much, most are mortgaged and the owners saddles with half a million in debt, desperately hoping for the prices to rise to make a profit. And there's a significant housing shortage in several western euro countries too.

This is super useful, I was thinking about writing something similar myself recently. Thanks for sharing! Being able to scribe the acfou t clean and start over is very useful. I have 900+ subscriptions that I guess just built up over time. Too many to manually work through and remove the ones I actually dont watch.

I am once again asking you to have revelations about the nature and size of the universe, and your frightful place therein.

I had seen the hate before and foolishly just assumed he was deserving of it. Its a horrible situation he's in and he is being cast in a bad light because he reached out for help.

I mean, you're on Lemmy and Lemmy is social media. Granted its user hosted but its still social media, with a lot of the same pitfalls.

You might not be aware but there's also a fairly content-rich successor project called SpaceStation 14! Its obviously nowhere near as featureful as 13 is, due to lack of development time but has a very active development community around it.

One of the major (imo) improvements is a move to per pixel "real time" movement instead of the tile movement of ss13, it helps make them game feel much more alive and interactive.

Definitely worth a look for fans of ss13, and its also open source and Linux compatible.
