  • recently dealt with an issue at my parents house where whenever they connected the TV to the wifi, half the devices in the house would lose connection. turns out there was an instability in the Comcast router firmware and whenever the TV would connect it would crash everything else on the 2.4ghz frequency.

    solution was to replace the router with one they owned instead of whatever crap they were leasing from Comcast.

    lol. you sound like someone who has never tried to file for any of that shit. from another one of your comments, sounds like you had some corporate experience in firing people.

    your experience in the corporate world firing people is not what people on the other side of the axe experience.

    people should absolutely file for unemployment and pursue wrongful termination suits if possible. but your expectation that things will fall into their lap is unrealistic and will cost people money if they lose an appeal and are required to pay their benefits back.


  • I’m in PA, so yeah unfortunately this is how it goes. hats off to y’all in states with slightly better laws, but this is how it goes in my state. I speak from personal experience as well as the experience of my friends.

    and all that documentation can be easily fabricated or cherry picked to try to make a point that isn’t there.

    it doesn’t matter how the system is supposed to work, the laws in this country and PA especially are so fucked that it very rarely works out in the employees favor. you can potentially get unemployment, but wrongful termination suits very rarely go anywhere.







  • I use bazzite. I prefer fedora (that’s what I have on my laptop) but the Nvidia drivers consistently give me trouble with fedora on my desktop. I’d get it stable for a little bit then something broke. eventually I got tired of it and tried bazzite since I had heard it was better in that regard. I love the out of the box Nvidia support as well as the HDR support with no extra steps. I’m really not a fan of immutable distros in general, I think rebuilding the ostree everytime I need to install a system package not available in any other way is super annoying, but it just works and that enough for me right now. I also enjoy some of the software it comes packaged with, like btrfs snapper and a very comprehensive ffmpeg build. I’ll probably switch away from it to try something new this summer, but at least until my finals are over I just need it’s stability.
