  • I used to manage a team of people who were all remote except one and myself. It’s not hard. You set expectations and they either meet them or they don’t and you address those issues. I do think some of them struggled due to working from home creating a “barrier” to asking for help when you don’t know your coworkers as well, but I did everything I could think of to reduce that so they’d feel comfortable reaching out via teams (creating group chats, designating “helpers”, etc) or even coming into the office if they chose but there were very mixed results and in general things were worse than when we were primarily working from the office. I don’t think the problem is working from home, it was communication skills and some people just lacking the discipline to not goof off when they are at home (I’m one of these, I need an office environment to focus). That is a case by case thing though that needs to be addressed with the individual.



  • Installing Linux is a walk in the park whereas windows is a Hilarious clown show from hell with no end.

    As a server maybe. Switching everything on my desktop to Linux has been a constant fight against all kinds of problems and there’s several things I haven’t been able to get working at all. Microsoft’s constant enshittification is closing the gap and it’s currently a tossup between which one I’m going to land on but that’s not Linux improving so much as Windows getting worse.

    What is “half baked dog shit” about it?

    The fact that they’re moving things over slowly instead of just fucking finishing it before they deploy it all at once. They’ve been doing this since Windows 10 came out, they have a trillion dollars. There’s no excuse to have it be half assed for so long especially considering “Settings” isn’t even an improvement.

    What was easier to find in the control panel than it is in settings?

    Literally everything? You don’t have to click through 14 different menus to drill down to what you’re looking for. It’s all on one window in Control Panel. Just look at Devices and Printers in Control Panel vs. Devices in settings or Programs and Features vs. Apps and features the newer versions have far less information available at a glance.

    You’ve never actually used windows 11, have you?

    I use it every day on my work PC. It runs like ass.

    I know what the point is. It sucks.

    Firstly they still have the control panel.

    For now

    Secondly they are slowly transitioning everything relevant from the control panel to the settings app.

    The settings app is half-baked dog shit.

    Thirdly even having everything in the control panel didn’t make it easy to find exactly what you wanted.

    It was certainly easier than the current state of things.

    This makes it so you can just say “set my power profile to balanced” and it would do so. That’s a nice, welcome addition.

    Sure assuming the AI understands your request and the setting you want hasn’t been removed because they wanted to put everything in the settings app and the one you wanted conflicts with their data gathering and add presentation and it’s not running in the background bogging down your system all the time or trying to interject itself into whatever you’re trying to do without involving it.
