Zoom meetings feel like a farce created by a demon to slowly extract our souls from our bodies over the span of years. That would explain why Iโm so tired after โmeeting-heavyโ days.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
๐ Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
๐๏ธ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
๐งฌ Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
๐ฝ๏ธ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
๐ Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
โ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
โ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
๐ฌ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 ๐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 ๐) will be removed.
-
๐ดโโ ๏ธ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
Sรญ, por favor [Spanish/Espaรฑol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

๐ฟ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Iโve heard global thermonuclear armageddon isnโt such a bad way to go.
Depends how close you are to ground zero.
The farther you are, the more it sucks.
Luckily I live a stones throw away from the largest oil refinery in Europe
Dude got culture shocked so much he became Hollowed.
don't give up, skeleton!
Apple laptop, really?
Many employers don't give you a choice. Mine did when I started but took it away a few years later.
Windows isn't really fit for development (outside of windows-specific targets), so. And it kind of sucks for just day to day usage. And most IT departments aren't great, so linux is out.
I feel like that Linux is just harder to lock down for the IT department
I'm not that kind of computer person so I can't speak confidently on the specifics. I imagine it might be a factor that windows is just more familiar to many people, lots of enterprise software was already written for this task, and common problems were solved.
A user in linux without admin rights is pretty limited in what they can do.

Does it really matter in a development enviroment? Like, yeah, it can cause issue for some devs the first few times they use it, but if you can't adapt to a new OS, can we really trust in your skills? At least, that's thinking

Yeah, that's what i was thinking too, you can lock down Linux but then you would've to remove administrator rights which make it harder to develop stuff but if you don't remove them, it's easy as fuck to remove the stuff that locks you
Does it really matter in a development enviroment?
Yes 100%. There's a good chance whatever you're working on with be on Linux, so being on windows locally is just an extra layer for problems to manifest. Plus windows is just weird compared to everything else.
I don't want to fuss with the OS. I just want the basics like ~, cat, grep, curl, etc to work. I don't want OneDrive. You can go get tooling to make windows more linux-like but, like, why half ass it.
With containers I guess it matters less. You could have a Windows host and Linux container, and probably not cause any problems with case folding or line feeds, but again: why half ass it.
Do you do software development work?
