@mynotaurus or you can do what other people do: blame everyone else for your failings and refuse to fix anything

well I mean I guess you could be considered an arbitrary code execution if someone puts you inside a computer

some day I will finish the first chapter of this terrible comic idea I've had for almost twenty years but, as with every day, today is not that day

@alterae I think you unlock them on human path level 150 but nobody really wants to stick it out for that long

I have them but I'd need like a week to replay the games to get a spare

@mynotaurus it's the knees I think

@mynotaurus @Boorango @alterae @byte I can think of several

they should bring back PDAs for me specifically

@starlight @Binder thanks for the reference link lmao, I was incredibly confused, yeah I definitely should've added more context to the link, that's fair

@jmaris @kde My favorite feature in Windows 11 is that it makes users discard perfectly good computers I snap up and run Linux on. 10 out of 10 stars for that feature.

Someone tore the page after April out of my calendar.

I'm dismayed ...

my MMOLB season 0 fanart zine is not doing well, thanks for asking

increasingly convinced that the venn diagram of "bosses that encourage the use of generative AI" and "bosses that actively hate their employees and want to ensure they stay miserable" is a circle

oh that previous repost is long lmao whoops

I know people like to make fun of niche operating systems, but for the five years I was at Microsoft I used Windows (10 then 11) as my daily driver. It’s much less stable than a professional OS, but it does kind-of work. I wouldn’t say it’s ready for the desktop. The UI is inconsistent and changes randomly between releases, a load of common software is basically useable only in a VM, it lags and freezes periodically (unlike an OS designed for interactive use, random drivers run a load of things directly in interrupt handlers, so you get latency spikes that you wouldn’t see in a more mainstream desktop OS) and the update process can hose the system, so it’s mostly of interest to people who like tinkering with their machines than people who actually want to get work done. Oh and a load of random bits of the OS have ads, but that’s what you get from a free ad-supported system instead of one developed by an active open-source community.

I don’t think I’d recommend anyone use it as their daily driver or in a work setting, but it’s not totally unusable. It’s not at the level of maturity than you’d expect from, say, Linux or FreeBSD, especially not for client workloads. If you do have to use it, I recommend that you install FreeBSD in a Hyper-V VM for real work. That’s what I did and it works quite well.

I had this on bluesky first but then I realized it was probably political in unpleasant ways I didn't want to associate with so I took it down but the sentiment remains

for the record, this is just grumbling about work and nothing else

"I can't be blamed for---" you can be blamed for anything. whether it's correct or not is an entirely separate thing and largely irrelevant

this is how I find out linux mint also uses snaps
