  • Interesting as the window is the main factor for me in the office. My desk is facing the window, not close to it but it’s there and bright.

    At home, when working from home, most the time, my desk is facing a wall with the window behind me and using closed curtains.

    So what I’m hearing is maybe I’m a little sensible to light and that’s why I leave with headaches? I used to hate driving at night too as all the other lights on cars and stuff are super bright and again I’d get headaches.


  • I don’t hate it but If I work in light mode or have phone in that mode then I will leave the office with a head ache.

    To me with dark mode anything I am reading is light. I am looking for light. In light mode everything is light and you’re looking for the absence of light and I can’t take it. It doesn’t hurt my eyes but it certainly makes me squint more often and then get a headache or worse a migraine.

    I also work with sunglasses in the office as the office itself is too bright.

    I’ve been using computers since the early 90’s and they were always dark mode first. Particularly in jobs with bright text on black.










  • Yeah cause everyone is a simp with a differing opinion.

    You basically basing your opinion on nothing but vibes. I had a Mojang account and they turned it into an Ms account. They didn’t steal it off me.

    I don’t like MS but let’s not just spread lies. You sound as conspiratorial as the fucking right wing you ghoul.

    Macrosimp detected.

    What an absolute fucking idiot. Who tf talks like this. Sausage is what you are.

    Edit: On reflection your comment is even dumber really as if you look at my years of post history you’ll see I’m not a simp for companies at all. Yet over a difference of opinion you want to label people like a little child.








  • Sure.

    Total hours of work per week 33, standard in the UK is 37.5 but I have a good boss. I work Monday - Thursday 08:00-16:30 with an unpaid hours break. Friday 09:00-12:00. Tuesday and Thursday are office days, the rest are from home.

    Holidays (vacation) we start with 20 days per year increasing 1 day per year for a maximum of 25 days total.

    Sickness, unlimited within reason but even then it’s unlimited. I’m not happy a lot of the time and so I much have been off sick for 4-5 weeks this year in total and never once been pulled up about it, again my boss is good. Other jobs would typically put you on a development plan if had more than 3 instances of sickness, but even then they would work with you until you got better.

    Healthcare, we live in the Uk. It’s free at point of service as it’s factored into what we pay out of wages.

    Cost of living is quite high but I wouldn’t say worse than the USA. But everything is pretty much 33-50% more expensive than pre covid. Rent is insane.

    I should say that as a software engineer, two years in, that my salary is probably lower than many many companies but for me I like time more than I like money and their is literally never stress at work, it either gets done on time or it doesn’t. We all come first.
