  • I was gonna let you be stupid without saying anything, but you doubled down twice so now I will prove that you are wrong.

    The first definition of decrypt in the American Heritage Dictionary is “To Decipher” I’ll admit, not super helpful, so let’s look at the definition of decipher. “To read or interpret (ambiguous, obscure, or illegible matter)”

    So for someone to “decrypt” an overexposed picture, they would be, by dictionary definition, trying to interpret what the ambiguous picture was actually showing, since the lighting was making it unclear.

    You are in the wrong when saying they used the wrong word, you just don’t have as good a command over the English language as you thought

    Pretty much any distro can do any of the things Windows/Mac users are hoping a computer can do. So just pick one and stick with it. Once you’re familiar with Linux, the benefits/drawbacks of each distro will become clearer, and you’ll be able to make an informed decision. People will tell you “Arch is more lightweight than Mint” but compared to Windows/MacOS, all Linux distros are going to feel blazingly fast and lightweight. The only decent advice is, if you are just starting out and you have an Nvidia GPU, use a distro that sets that up for you automatically. It’s not super complicated to set up, but it’s definitely going to feel like a foreign experience the first time.









  • In a lot of places in the US, notice is never legally required. You’re allowed to leave at any time, regardless of position. Would it screw over the company? Yes. Is it unprofessional? Yes. But you have zero obligation to give notice.

    I work a high-paying job in tech with plenty of responsibility, but due to how upper management completely screws me, I will likely be leaving with same-day notice. If the company wants respect, they must first give respect.
