Hell no. I work with RHEL every day, and while I'm by no means an expert, I would say I'm reasonably proficient with Linux.

Every time I've tried using Linux on the desktop, it's worked just fine until I tried to update something. Sooner or later, there's some broken patch or some incompatible thing here or there that breaks my window manager and throws me to the command line, ruins my network settings, overwrites my boot config or some other maddening mess. Linux works brilliantly, AS LONG AS YOU NEVER TOUCH ANYTHING

I live in a country where income is public information.

It´s not really a problem as far as I know - and at any rate it definitely benefits employees.

2017 15" decked out macbook pro here. Not all that smooth.

Five weeks of vacation helps too.

Food in Oslo has improved by leagues and bounds in the past ten years. You'll find it here if you know where to look :)

I'll be honest, it's a little rough. Around late december, the darkest part of the year, I barely see sunlight for a month or two. I'm at work by 8:30, sun rises 10. I leave work at 16:00, sun sets 14:00.

It gets better though, so by february the worst bit is over. It's not really that awful - you really get a physical sense of the year progressing, and in a sense the darkness is cozy. Lots of light in the cities, starry skies in the countryside. Get some solarium tan going and spend a week or two of vacation time in warmer parts of the world and it's not at all bad.

Haven't played it either, but from what I've heard you can do that, but you'll get pounded to a fine paste by said boss in about three seconds flat.

Genesis commit, that's a catchy name for it. We've done the same thing, after some discussion this always ends up making the most sense.

Also, you can hide your crimes and not show off all your "TODO: put more stuff here" commits to the world.

We've published internally developed projects on github after removing anything sensitive and initializing a new repo from the latest version of the code base.

You lose your development history, but you ensure you won't get bitten by stuff like this.

Good intentions and heartfelt prayer.

won't that make you look hella suspicious? Blank phone, blank laptop, light luggage?

What I don't hear anyone in this thread talk about is, what happens if you present them with a blank device? Say I have a brand new chromebook, no logins, no data. Brand new phone, five emergency contacts and no messages. No logins. Brand new google account.

Won't that look pretty suspicious to mr. wannabe Jack Bauer in the TSA?
