It depends on the role. My first job was doing manual QE on Windows, and knowing Linux wasn't much help at the time, but it did help me transition to a coding role in the same company a year later. I'm now doing platform engineering at a major tech company, but that has a high barrier to entry, which I suspect is the case for most roles that are Linux-focused. If you're trying to get your foot in the door, I think you should look at job profiles for low barrier to entry roles (e.g. tech support) and try to work your way up.

In the US, some employers do pay out vacation, but many don't, because there's no law requiring them to do so. It's perfectly legal to offer literally zero vacation days.

Probably because the individual engineers working on Takeout care about doing a good job, even though the higher-ups would prefer something half-assed. I work for a major tech company and I've been in that same situation before, e.g. when I was working on GDPR compliance. I read the GDPR and tried hard to comply with the spirit of the law, but it was abundantly clear everyone above me hadn't read it and only cared about doing the bare minimum.

There's no financial incentive for them to make is easy to leave Google. Takeout only exists to comply with regulations (e.g. digital markets act), and as usual, they're doing the bare minimum to not get sued.

Which is the most dangerous when they hatch?

On the contrary, continuous duck exposure has inoculated me to bird flu, ensuring I will be one of the few survivors of the next pandemic. Out of the ruins, I will lead my duck army to conquer the wasteland. Their quacks will herald your doom.

The elites don't want you to know this, but the ducks in the park are free. You can take them home. I have 30 ducks.

Stop submerging your bike in hydrochloric acid or brine

Just don't mention the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem. Last time I did that I barely made it out of the record shop alive

"this is not an automated response" - honestly, I think this is one of the few situations where a company could be fully justified in forcing a customer to use ChatGPT for support, since that would free up the service reps to focus on helping the sane customers.

Can't tell if you're serious, but Maggie doesn't have rabies, the poster is just worded weirdly. It's saying the dog has a rabies vaccination tag on her collar.
