    My job sucks but I really love it. It’s the best job I’ve ever had compensation wise but it is stressful as hell and I’m pretty sure it’s turning my hair gray. It’s also the best job in turn of meaning, I can actually make an impact for people.

    I’m planning on moving up in the company, I’m missing where I started as I take more of a background role a little but I can’t have worked front-line forever for many reasons.




  • To provide some additional anecdotes to support jul’s comment. I’ve personally been experiencing better performance than windows even with nvidia. Though it does vary per game, with the occasional workaround especially when going outside the realm of plug and play to mod games.

    I’d say most games are great, the “10% low” games are still good, and the “1% lows” where things just don’t work are pretty rare but sometimes there is a fix. Proton.db is a good resource for those instances.

    And being honest… windows has those moments too, people just ignore them because windows is the ubiquitous gaming OS.

    It’s a lot better than when I had last “tried” and it may be more impactful to bring up that this time I haven’t gone back even once, and I actually went ahead and pulled the plug on my windows partition.

    Linux is just better now, there’s one thing windows had but I gave it up. Linux is just better for most things now and to make that win even better… windows has increasingly been becoming worse than itself.

    Oh that’s crummy, I thought FlyingSquid was better than that.

    Edit: I guess post is locked or deleted so I can’t reply to clarifying comments- here’s my reply:

    It’s obvious to me now that drag is problematic. But I am confused why if someone uses she/they or he/they, it isn’t okay to use they. Because that person has indicated it as a preference?

    I do know that some people use they/them as intentional self-othering if they aren’t feeling well about their transition, but we can’t know that for every person. I personally, if I see a/b pronoun preferences, assume and use a as the primary preferred pronoun, and b as a secondary, assuming they do want to go by that pronoun sometimes but not all the times.

    So yeah, I am still a tad confused how using they from she/they preference is perceived as misgendering when it seems to clearly not be. There must be missing context.
