  • I work a job where I’m covering other shifts a fair amount as well as working doubles. I also do not get Holidays/any extra days off. Prior to this I was in a salaried corporate middle management job, so for the past 20 years I’ve worked 55+ hours a week on average. I can tell you that for this particular job, yes, their goal is to destroy your health so that they get a few good years out of you and then you’ll leave because it’s too hard on you. That way they never have to worry about paying their workers (outside of a small percentage with high fortitude) wages that are much above baseline.








  • I was a little late getting to the compiz party but I used it as my default WM for years and years. It is still being updated and is now extremely stable (which I understand was the biggest issue in its early days). I have surrendered to the darkside though and just use KDE cause it does everything that almost anyone could need now and it does it pretty good.


  • Speaking of mail apps, has anyone used Thunderbird recently? I had used it for a year or two up until . . . a year or two ago (probably two or three, actually) and then switched to kmail to satisfy my masochism. Thunderbird just hadn’t been doing it for me with meh functionality and slightly more meh looks.

    Fast forward to yesterday when I’m updating my steamdeck desktop to use nix stuff instead of rwfus+pacman and I couldn’t get kmail from nix to behave right so I thought I’d give thunderbird another look. I’m several hours into tinkering with it and holy hell has it changed pretty much completely from a few years ago. Looks fantastic and works pretty much exactly how I want/expect it to. Good job mozilla!
