Unless of course your guy ends up in power again and offers you pardons and reparations.

I've spent the last 10+ years helping build and grow SaaS startups; I'm looking for new opportunities either with a growing startup or a more established company looking to level up their engineering organization.

Certainly has an impact, but the embargo is also used by the government as a scapegoat to cover up poor policies, corruption, etc.

I have heard from some Cubans they would love to see the embargo lifted just to expose how many of the problems are created by the government/army.

Actually, it's my own fault -- I assumed the area in the preview that said I hadn't uploaded any images yet was the drop target, but it's not, that's over in the sidebar. Cheers!

Pretty cool! I tried to list my app but the screenshot upload doesn't seem to work -- it won't accept any files I've tried via drag/drop in Chrome or Firefox. I've been able to upload files to other sites without any issue (running Linux).

the old wifi (Gogo Inflight) is slow and terrible. The new wifi being rolled out (ViaSat) is better, the speedtest screenshots I've seen have been 50-150 Mbps down.

Zoom happily supports screen sharing on Wayland/gnome, even using the flatpak version.

> Obscuring your location from your employer could be a thing

This seems fairly unlikely... Your employer needs to do some really basic things that require knowing where you live, like withold your state taxes, ensure they are abiding by state employment laws at the very least.

When I worked at Cisco years ago fresh out of college, they offered an Employee Stock Purchase Program -- you could put up to X$ towards purchasing Cisco stock over the quarter, and the stock was issued at the end of the quarter at min(start_price, end_price) * 0.85.

I haven't worked at another large corporation since then but I thought that was fairly generous and I still have quite a bit of CSCO from that program.

> "bundle update mimemagic" should fix this...

assuming your codebase is ok with an MIT-licensed dependency suddenly becoming a GPL-licensed dependency.

It also worked as drop in replacement for PulseAudio for me, except all my audio now had stutters and pops. I ended up going back to Pulse.

I got suggestions that I could go tweak buffer sizes stuff in a config file somewhere, but for my simple desktop use case I'd rather my audio just sounds right out of the box.

Hopefully this sort of thing gets straightened out, because having to muck with config files to make my sound server actually work is like going back to working directly with ALSA or OSS.

Just a warning that although it claims to support Linux, on launch I got two options:

* Run without wine (Linux)

* Launch with wine

The first one took me to a black screen. The second took me into the game but the colors were entirely wrong -- everything was red and black. So caveat emptor.

librsvg uses cairo under the hood to actually draw things, at least at the moment.
