   I see questions on what happened after the initial shock. I'll share what I can.

   As I personally prefer to know the ending of a story at all times let's do so here as well: The hero of our story, Agent Duck, ended up being absolutely fine.

   So. Here we were inside the datacenter when suddenly duck, DUCK! After the initial surprise slash utter panic it was clear Duck was not at all stressed and didn't seem bothered by the complexity of the situation.

   Frankly. Duck was just ducking about.

   The RTO mandate at work doesn't affect me directly because I live so far from any office and they aren't going to pay to move me. However, it does impact many if not most of the people I work with. It's obliterating morale.

   It's a signal that the executives are completely out of touch with the needs of the people and a symptom of a larger disconnect between what really works and what makes the line go up. For a long time, we all thought this company was better than that. For a long time, they were.

   Good employees, people with stellar reviews, have been told that if they refuse to return to office they will be fired. They have been told they have to have doctor's notes and HR approval if they need to work from home because they are sick.

   We are being treated like children.

   I know some people are jumping ship as soon as they can.

   As such, I need to get my resumé ready and start doing what I can. I'm not going to get stuck doing the work of three people again. I'm already doing the work of two and RTO has made it difficult to hire the people who would take some of that from me.

   I have not had to polish my resume in over 20 years. I need help. What are some good resources? How do you even look for a job nowadays? I certainly don't think LinkedIn is the resource it was two decades ago.

   I've worked in IT since 1997, and in IT Security since 2000.

   Also, I am a transgender neurodivergent (autism, ADHD, and CPSTD) bisexual woman taking care of a disabled neurodivergent (ADHD) cisgender woman. I miss a lot of work to take my wife to doctor's appointments. That is not going to change. I also want to work somewhere that is accepting of LGBTQIA2S people. I'd prefer to work as close to 100% remotely as possible. So my requirements for a job are high.

   Bonus points if I can find a job that will move me to another state that is less red than the one I live in. I understand that would definitely require me to come into an office. At this point, it might be worth it to get out of Missouri.

   With that said, I still don't know how to begin.

   I'm open to advice or links to websites that could help.

   Thank you very much.

   #KDE #plasma wants to make their desktop environment as good as Windows or even better; #GNOME has no respect for Windows and wants to make the best desktop they can.

   As a result: Plasma is Windows but with a good kernel and community and no malware included, and GNOME is the best preconfigured experience available anywhere for any device.

   Windows is the least user friendly option available today, why would you try to model your UX after it ...
