Yup. and some meetings you people ask you a question so you legit need some time to think about what information you should look up before the meeting. Even if 95% of the time nobody asks you anything, you gotta take some time to think about the topic the meeting is on and whether there might be a question for you so you have the answer for that 5% of the time. But 100% of the time you have to stop and consider what the meeting is about beforehand for the 5% of the time there’s an actual question.

Also when I know I have a meeting coming up, I don’t want to get in too deep on something that takes a lot of focus.

Yeah if it were about security they’d check the version of HTTPS, SSL, TLS and all that stuff.

What about Brawndo? It’s got electrolytes!

I’m not the guy you replied to, but MS fonts are kinda free to download. Not free enough they can just put them into a package but there’s a defined method for downloading them. Most distros have a package that will automatically do this. On Debian it’s ttf-mscorefonts-installer which will download the fonts and install them when it gets to the configuration part of the package install. You can probably search for a similar package for your distro.

Don’t say that… I’m a 40 year old man. I was a kind in the 90s, I wasn’t born in the 90s.

They did try to fix the Yennefer/Ciri relationship in S3.

But it suffers from the same problem with the other seasons where the writers are too busy trying to be clever to just tell the story. Like they show a party where a bunch of random shit happens then they later show a bunch of flashbacks to explain what the hell happened. You can imagine them all congratulating themselves in the writer’s room on how brilliant they are to come with telling it that way.

They introduced a new character who’s either a bad actress or poorly directed. Or both. There’s one scene where she’s holding a dead pheasant and I’m not sure if she was posing or waiting for the director to say “cut”. Either way it’s awkward and cringey as hell.

Key bindings and a good GUI aren’t mutually exclusive.

Key bindings are great for people that use the app a lot and want to be more efficient at the tasks they do most often in it. But most people aren’t going to be learning keyboard shortcuts the first time they use an app. And if someone uses an app a few times and find it frustrating to use, they never use it enough to want to learn keyboard shortcuts to improve their efficiency with the app.

So you open any other image editor, click the rectangle select button, draw a rectangle, then select a move button beside the rectangle select tool, then it moves the rectangle you just selected and you think “That’s fucking stupid, it should’ve moved the entire image, not the rectangle I just selected!”

Really?

Hmm… seems Vladimir Putin doesn’t like ChatGPT enough to have his sock puppet write some negative comments about it.

Apparently I’m Neutral Evil. But I consider myself to be Chaotic Neutral.

I’ll fix the problem only when it’s actually a computer problem and when you can explain what the problem properly. I don’t care if it’s a ticket or an email. Though I might not get to the email today and tomorrow I might forget about it, so you might want to put a ticket in that’ll stay the until it’s closed. But the ticket system sucks, so I might not log into it and see your ticket for a few days. If you send an email, I might do it right away, but you might have to remind me about it in a few days because I might’ve forgotten about it.

I don’t care about your job title. If you VP of whatever the fuck and think you’re important or if you were hired yesterday to an entry level position, you’re all users to me. But the issues aren’t fixed based on the order they come in, it’s based on how much effort you put into describing the problem. If you think you’re too important to describe the issue properly, you’re low priority. If you want a meeting to describe the issue verbally, oh you better believe you’re low priority, I’m not your fucking secretary that’s going to take down your dictation. You got a keyboard in front of you, use it. I might eventually get around to asking you for more details about the problem, but only after I’ve fixed all of the problems reported by people that made an effort. Your priority is based on your effort.

Ok so maybe I’m Lawful Evil? But everyone thinks I’m Chaotic Evil because they don’t understand why some people get stuff done right away while they have to wait.

The fur covers their ears to prevent the screams of the people they’re mauling from damaging their eardrums.

RIP Phil Hartman. After he died the show wasn’t the same and it just kinda faded away. So it wasn’t a cult classic that got cancelled too soon kind of thing. But also not a show that ran more a long time.

But one of favourite shows of all time. The cane episode was one the best half hours of TV of all time.

Yeah and a lot of the conspiracy theories were about things like bigfoot and UFOs. Stuff we saw on X-Files so none of it was all that serious. “I want to believe” and “the truth is out there” turned into “everything is a lie!” and “I want to burn down the government!”

Thanks for the comment. Kinda confirms my approach (mostly out of laziness) of “I’ll do it when the ISP starts pushing it” is the correct one.

I think tech advocacy generally doesn’t work, and in the case of IPv6 I can’t see it working at all unless they can convince the ISPs to devote a lot more resources to it. But since I’m not an ISP… meh, whatever I guess.

Debian is like my wife, I’m always faithful to her!

Ok, can you keep a secret? I have cheated on her a few times. I tried redhat before I met Debian, but didn’t get very far because of circular dependencies (it was the 90s and package management was new). I never used another Linux and wanted to experiment a little!

I compiled Linux From Scratch, but it was too high maintenance. I tried Gentoo, but it’s not something I’d put on a friend’s computer, ya know what I mean? And yeah, I admit it, I had a fling with Debian’s little sister, Ubuntu. But it was basically like Debian, but a little more sexy but also a little more flakey.

But in the end, I always go back to Debian. Solid, dependable, and low maintenance. Just upgraded to bookworm this weekend (because I’m always behind on dist upgrades LOL). Updated the apt sources ran recommended the apt commands with no issues. Only noticeable difference is the grub and login screens are a different shade of blue.

I prefer to cancel the apocalypse.

Or if there must be an end times there should at least be giant robots.

Closer to 1C at the moment, but here’s a graph if you want to compare temperature changes over the last century.

https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/?intent=121

The trouble with going back further is that there wasn’t global coverage of people keeping accurate records of temperatures in times past. So they have to look at things like tree rings and make comparisons with historical records. Obviously it gets a little fuzzy going back more than a century. But here’s an xkcd that gives a summary of what we know about historical (and pre-historical) global temperatures.

Yeah pretty much. You can’t copyright gameplay mechanics, so there’s nothing illegal about it. It’s just a dick move.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. People don’t want to discuss an issue, they seem to just want to prove how much of a hardcore whateverist they are and prove you’re a part of whichever nefarious group their group is a against. “So you’re a neo-con-classical-liberal-proto-fascist because you don’t want to burn everything down and start over with a the new whateverist utopia I want! You’re too stupid to talk to me!!!”

I think it’s mostly kids in university that learned some terminology they never heard before and think everyone should be impressed by the word they learned. But when a topic they’re unfamiliar with comes up they’re out of their element and instead of just lurking and learning something they start spewing out the jargon in a desperate attempt to sound like they know something.

Sugar and tobacco aren’t meats. I assure you that heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune disorders would still exist even if no one ate meat.
