Just lost my job because I use Linux

    By u/AlarmedTowel4514, its a shitpost story on how a guy got fired for being a jerk but blamed it on coworkers hating him for using Linux

    Just lost my job because I use Linux

Long story short, was fired because I use Linux.

I work, or rather worked, at a large eu based bank. It’s a fucking windows shitfest, and no one can install any software, because of “security” reasons. Yeah right, then you probably should not use windows in the first place.

Anyway using any other operating system is completely out of the question.

I am, or rather was, somewhat of a star developer in the organization. Mainly because I was the best css engineer, but people also knew me as the “Linux guy” or “advocate”, whatever. I did take it upon me to educate and inform the other employees of how and why Linux is a better and more secure operating system.

Anyway, a month ago or so, my manager comes to me, and says that it looks like he got Linux approved for a POC phase and I was selected to be one of the first tryouts. He was really excited I could tell, probably because I been talking about and asking for approval to use Linux for the last 3 years. Naturally, I asked him how I was compensated for taking on this new massive task, and he said “I thought you would like to work with Linux? Can you please just take the opportunity”. Alright I said. We agreed that next week I could start setting it up as I would get the laptop end of week.

Fast forward to Friday, and he comes down to me with the laptop. I wondered where the flash drive was, because how am I supposed to install arch without it? Any way I open it up while he looks at me with excitement. I see Ubuntu is installed and booting. I instantly slams the laptop closed and says quietly: “I use arch…” he says “what?”. I yelled “I USE ARCH, THIS IS UBUNTU”. He says “what does that mean?”. I just take the laptop and leaves for the day. Educate yourself and you would’ve known.

Next week he comes down to me and asks me why I have canceled all meetings and blocked my calendar for the next 2 weeks. I answered: “I am ricing? Even though you inconsiderate asshole gave me Ubuntu, I still need to rice. That takes hyper focus. How do you think I became the best css engineer?”

He looked confused, I bet the idiot didn’t even know what rice is.

He snapped. Got very angry, and said something like, he was the only person in this organization who actually had my back. Not because of my skills, or knowledge, but because no one else wants to work with our css project.

He asked me to leave immediately and that I was fired…

So there it is. Can’t even use Linux without getting fired. Why do these idiots care what OS I am using, don’t you have better things to do?

    You don’t like yaoi enough to be with me. I’ve already told you MULTIPLE TIMES that I can ONLY date true fujoshis

      Hey, I'm really sorry for doing this but I actually can't take it anymore. You don't like yaoi enough to be with me. I've already told you MULTIPLE TIMES that I can ONLY date true fujoshis, and you just don't fit the criteria. You refused to watch Junjou Romantica last week and last night you didn't want to read Dear Gene with me on Discord vc.. and now I know you're definitely not the one for me. I was already planning on proposing to you when you mentioned you were a fujoshi after we talked about Utapri for 2 hours but now I can see that you're just some poser who lied to me and wants to see me suffer. I don't know if I can truly forgive you for this and I'm going to have to stop talking to you for a while so I can heal. Bye.

      C89 is perfect and I don’t want to hear any liberal sissy propaganda about stack guards or control flow integrity

        C89 is perfect and I don’t want to hear any liberal sissy propaganda about stack guards or control flow integrity. When my granddaddy built this compiler we didn’t have “pointer signing” or “static analysis” - you used a void* and you did your fucking job. Reagan said it best - the scariest words in the English language are “We’re the compiler and we’re here to help”

        Ferro vs purple/yellow guns

          By u/Skolary, its an Arc Raiders story of how the Ferro beats other higher tier weapons and how players are misled into thinking the purple/yellow outline means they are good weapons.

          The purple/yellow lining fools the eye of the beholder into believing they’re going to demolish whatever walks across their path.

They get this premonition in their mind, they cannot die with this loadout. For 2 reasons:

(1) This is a purple gun, whoever they come up against stands no chance

(2) If they die with this thing, it’s going to set them back into the Bronze Age.

So they bring this gun they’re not/barely familiar with into raid. They gun down a hornet, maybe a wasp. And the thing already isn’t downing Arc in less than a millisecond, and the feelings are rusty already.

They start getting comfy, and suddenly get piped by a Ferro shot out of absolutely nowhere.

And you might as well call it a raid after this, throw all quick tactical thinking out the back door. And insert, ”I cannot die with this thing. I cannot with this thing. I can. Not. Die..”

They decide to take a Ferro one on one, long range.. and they’re sadly mistaken. ”How could this happen? It’s a Ferro… it’s not supposed to do anything better than my.. my preciousess..”

They either run, or keep at it until their shield breaks. Keep peeking on a guy who has one of the best weapons for that range. Believing their little purple item should dominate at everything. Ever.

So much so, that it should’ve also had the ability to have them absorb Ferro shots on top of being a gun.

After making a series of irrational decisions, brought on by an irrational belief that this weapon is milestones better than all others. When in reality, it’s fractions at best.. and it’s still not going to out perform anything outside of its range of power.

The Ferro goblin stands over the corpse, looting its pockets. And.. what’s this…

It’s so shiny. It’s so beautiful. My eyes have never.. my eyes..

          toro will undeniably take mrekk’s #1 spot, and we will in the future see another #1 battle.

            By u/Impossible-Base9304, its (hopefully) another mrekk copypasta thats about to spammed on his next aim score in osu.

            toro will undeniably take mrekk’s #1 spot, and we will in the future see another #1 battle.

Let that sink in. mrekk, is an aim player fucking leagues above all other aim players, still so far ahead in pp than toro even when he has 3 1900s, and is STILL ABLE to compete against toro in the near future.

Let’s not forget mrekk was pushing 400bpm+ aim a while ago and will not hesitate to actually get good at it just like his inhuman dedication towards improvement in general.

He will be competing with toro on AIM, all while the rest on the podium are all SPEED players.

I don’t even care about the outcome of the #1 battle. If mrekk otherwise gives up, it is STILL impressive he got this far.

W mrekk glaze

              Maybe that's only because you were responsible for the holocaust, the Armenian genocide, WW2, the Korean war, the Vietnam War, 9/11, the Arab Spring, the Crusades, the Islamic invasion of Spain, you were also responsible for driving the Jews out of Israel in the first place,in fact the Egyptians did nothing wrong; it was you who was responsible for enslaving the Jews. You are secretly a scaly and one day while you were wearing your snake suit you tricked Eve and told her to eat the apple. You also killed Abel. You also lead the Mongol invasions of everywhere. And the Hun invasions. And the Mughal invasions of India. And the Viking invasions.You were the guy who started colonialism(only the invading part not the part where they provided technology and medicine to the natives). After you tested positive for Covid19, you spit on Native Americans, nearly driving them extinct. You also killed all the dinosaurs. You were also behind the Bronze age collapse. You single-handedly did the Triangular Slave Trade; hell you were the guy you bought the slaves from. You also beheaded a French teacher for disrespecting Mohammad, and blamed it on wholesome Muslimerinos. All the blood diamonds are produced by you. You were the guy who cut Congolese workers hands off because they did not meet your supply. You chased Kyyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha with a skateboard and beat him up and snatched his rifle, and used it to kill Jacob Blake. During the BLM protests you were the one who looted and burned all the stores. Even during the Charolletsville incident, they were all shadow-clones of you. You did Pearl Harbor and bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You were the mastermind of the Holodomor, the Great Leap Forward, East Germany and every time a tankie screams "It was not real communism", you were involved. You grilled the last dodo. You shoot Palestinian kids for fun and shoot missiles at Israeli civilians. You were the guy who killed all those Rohingyas, and Uyghurs. You were also involved the current Hong Kong situation; so much involved that you were the one who sold opium to the Chinese. The Irish potato famine, Africa, the Bengal Famine; all because of you. You commit human rights violations on North Korean citizens everyday. Al Qaeda, Mujaheddin, Boko-Haram, Taliban; YOU. You also killed the prophet of the wholesome 100 Muslimerinos, Sulemani; in a missile strike. You also did the Rape of Nanjing and it was you who ordered and supplied all the Korean comfort women. You personally snitched on Anne Frank to you. The Jim Crow laws were passed by you, as well as the war on drugs. The partition of India was your fault, as well as the resulting Kashmir issue. You also starred in the Cuban missile crisis and started the cold war. During the Russian Revolution, the peasants understood that Nikolai II's family was innocent, and would offer them a chance to leave, but you massacred them. You tried your best but failed in preventing the American and French Revolutions, but you got back at them by causing the Reign of Terror. You tortured Louis XVI's son and forced him into saying that he had sex with his mother and aunt, and promptly guillotined them. You invented pineapple-pizza and Tofu-Chicken. You were the guy who snitched on Alan Turing, revealing that he was gay. The judge felt that such a respected professor could be sent away with a slap on the wrist, but you rigged the jury and sentenced him to hormonal therapy. You rigged the New York Stock Exchange and caused the great depression. In the town of Waco, you raped a woman, blamed it on a black man and lynched him by burning him alive. You were the leader of the Khmer Rouge and wrote the plot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Despite making up only 3.0211238398812703164724804575659e-7 % of the population you commit 100% of the crimes. You also were the dictator of Uganda. You regularly kill journalists and opposition leaders in Russia. You were behind Princess Diana's car crash. You fucked a monkey and started the AIDS pandemic. You started coronavirus and ebola and the Black Death and the Spanish flu and the Bubonic plague and the syphillis outbreak and the Trojan war and the Bush war and the fall of Rome and the Dark Ages. After taking a dump, you leave your toilet paper like this. You burned down the Notre Dame, and knelled on George Floyds neck. You also were the guy who sold drugs to George Floyd. You are the reason I am the only person in my class who doesn't have a girlfriend. You are the reason why the Armenia Azerbaijan crisis is even there.
