I never publicly made any statements regarding my time there because I feared even more backlash from a community that was already attacking, defaming, and sending me death threats.

Fuck man, pretty much nobody should have to deal with that.

I was actually called a tattle tale

Been there done that.

"snitches get stiches" is the phrase I've been told many times

I was told I was arguing, when I was trying to discuss my point of view.

This too

I remember getting told off for taking my sick days, as in the days you're entitled to.

I am still, to this day, hesitant to take days off from this kind of shit

I was asked to twerk for a co-worker at one point.

I know some ladies who were asked by the CFO of a previous company to jump in place while to get a company t-shirt that other employees received.

I was told I was chunky, fat, ugly, stupid. I was called "removed" I was called a "removed"

I was called "stupid" to my face in an open office with fifty other staff in the room.

I was also the one tasked with managing the Only Fans account.

Something I said I didn't want to do.

I had to read comments from people talking about how they wanted to fuck me and my co workers.

I saw peoples dicks, and vagina's.

I said no, and was told only a little longer.

You should never be obligated to do things you don't want to do. No job is worth it.

Please don't attack individuals who don't actually have power at this company, most of them are blameless or powerless to actually change anything.

This absolutely. For every one person who speaks up there are usually multiple tens who do not.

Also "why didn't you take legal actions"

Many of them don't know better. Many of them feel like they're trapped: they require the paycheck and so they feel obligated to endure abuses.

... Or, at least, that's been my experience with employers. To be clear: I do not, and have not, worked for LMG. I'm not trying to make it about me, just trying to relate. It's unfortunate easy to relate.

She's got some tough issues and I wish her to have better employment opportunities in the future.

These days I work for a company where "everything is awesome" and I get to work on really cool things every day without too much drama. I wish everyone could do that. I certainly couldn't have without deciding to leave an abusive employer. I encourage everyone to seek better employment if you feel like you can relate to any of the issues she's brought up.

So here's some tips. There's a lot to unpack though.

• keep a personal record. Keep it at home. If it's on a computer or phone then keep it on a personal one so you still have it if you do quit or are fired. Write down the good times and the bad times.
  • if you're hourly, make sure to include your clock-in and clock-out times
• if you live in a single-party-recording-consent state, then record your conversations
• if anything comes up, your personal records can be admissible in court
• if nothing comes up then at least you can look back at your records and remember how often good things or bad things happen. it will help you to make decisions objectively and judge your emotions for them

Sending unsolicited sexually explicit messages (even just text) or images is a federal crime and can be included in sexual harassment claims. If your employer does not address the problem then your employer may be held accountable. It's important that you keep records of your complaint to your employer and their inaction!

So, learn about harassment and discrimination laws. Everyone has a right to not be harassed (sexually or otherwise) or discriminated against. You can file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Office or your state's equivalent (not all states have an equivalent).

A kernel update, if it's done right, shouldn't cause a panic. But not every distro does updates right.

If you know the old version and the new version then it might be useful to reach out to the Mint community and see if they're aware of issues like that.

https://linuxmint.com/getinvolved.php -> forums or chat might be fruitful to you

Attempting to kill init means that something tried to kill PID 1. That's... abnormal outside of a shutdown. But it can be normal during shutdown. So uhh... yeah: if it continues to be a problem then it needs to be reported and fixed by your distribution. What distribution are you using?

I see kernel panics at shutdown most often on Arch-based distros after updating system packages.

It sucks when it happens during shutdown but it's typically not going to cause other problems... except perhaps not automatically booting if you wanted to reboot instead of shutdown.

As a programmer:

• one 1080p screen for work chat/email
• one 1080p screen for code with 3-6 pages open simultaneously (approx 80x24 or 90x40 depending on whether the file tree is also open)
• one 1080p screen for a terminal with 4-6 terminal sessions displayed (80x24)
• one 1080p screen for reference documentation
  • or more 1080p screens for even more documentation as rabbit holes in documentation can go quite deep

...and that's before even more screens for monitoring services, CI status, rabbit holes in documentation, etc.

Then there's video chat. It gets really fun when someone asks "@inetknght, can you share your screen?" during a video call. Then I have to pick which screen gets shared and hope it's the right one. It would suck if they how many emails I ignore. I currently have 15,070 unarchived emails in my inbox spanning over a decade. I'll get to cleaning that inbox when the bug reports stop coming.

Plus, I sometimes run VMs fullscreen. It's best to do that on a dedicated monitor. Especially if there's multiple VMs running. Otherwise good luck finding the real desktop!

Privacy is my biggest thing. But, no. Then there's the whole "I don't to put all my eggs in one basket" argument too. Last, but not least: my battery life is also much better when all of the invasive tracking is blocked :)

The only app that won't let me use KeePass autotype is Planetside 2's launcher. I've never had any trouble in any other app with KeePass's auto-type feature -- including to log in to Google.

If a site is asking for a username first, then I can auto-type the username too ;)

I don't use a plugin. I use a separate app. So I can type passwords into terminals or games too. ;)

KeePass has an auto-type feature. It basically presses keystrokes right into the input field.

I never have to worry about sites disabling pasting into fields because:

• I use about:config to disable clipboard manipulation
• I use KeePass auto-type to type passwords instead of copy-pasting them

Also, putting your password on your clipboard is Bad Practice because any application (including a javascript web page) can inspect your clipboard
