Work/life balance

I actively avoid getting promoted because management is the next step and fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that shit. I hate managing my own workload, I’m not dealing with HR shit and keeping track of other people (while still also doing my job…)

Lol, as of mainstream media isn’t ALSO propaganda

I’m still not convinced that people aren’t doing it for engagement bait

Taking your premiums and finding ways to deny your claim.

Done, what’s next?

Well shit, maybe we shouldn’t hold humans responsible for the actions that they convince another human to take. After all, the victim is just a human being a human, right?

It’s funny how much if a spectrum there is. My wife gets stuck awake if she has caffeine after 3pm, and I have fallen asleep on nodoze more than once.

Awww, how is the little buddy doing? Still terrified of what the disembodied cursor will do to him? Good times.

As a father, I’m going to be better than mine by fucking showing up and being in my kid’s life.

I actually have an AHK macro that overrides that to type the contents of my clipboard. Does the same thing, but it also means I can paste into a web based VM console.

But good to know they’re adding something useful while they enshittify

Let me help you by not selling you what you want. What do you mean “stop pissing in your eyes”?

If they can burn a billion dollars on shit everyone else knew was a failure from day 1, they can pay a fucking reasonable tax rate

Are you telling me the people who didn’t know RAtM was political didn’t realize an actor was an activist?

Like it’s just copy and paste

Depending on the app, it’s more than just copy paste…

Tons of apps (specifically web browsers) love to copy over formatting which, if supported by the receiving app (like a chat thread) will add the extra shit to it. I deal with this constantly at work, because it can be a toss up in if the chat/word processor I’m using will take the link I copied, or if it will post it as a link with the title of the tab as the link text.

Aggravating as fuck, and why I have N++ up on my work machine at all times so I can destroy any formatting and ensure what I send is what I want.

Yeah, let’s make fun of one slop peddling giant by adding some spyware to another slop peddling giant’s product (that’s also spyware)

I think I’ve booted my windows install maybe two or three times after getting things setup on my Bazzite box, and each time was desperation because I couldn’t get something working on a time crunch (like my microphone no longer working before a telehealth appointment) and most of the time it’s user error (like the audio profile being switched so the mic wasn’t enabled for some reason).

Honestly, the only complaint I have is that periodically flat/snap apps (idr offhand) don’t want to open and I have to reboot a couple times before they do. Can’t say the same for my windows installs…

Lol, the AI can barely remember the directives I tell it about basic coding practices, I’m not concerned that the clanker can remember me shit talking it.

I would love an AI that was personalized to me and could answer the questions I want rather than shitting out generic shit that barely applies to my question. Something that knows me enough to help me with all the shit I don’t remember or have the energy to make myself start. That’s something I’ve dreamed about ever since I saw it in scifi media.

But I want to OWN and CONTROL the data and the way the AI handles the data. Unfortunately I don’t have the hardware to make them run very well, so I don’t really bother. Corpo AI is just opening your shirt and telling them where to swing the golf club.

My manager loved the shitty review I gave last year, because I bitched about workload/work life balance/manpower issues we had, and those are topics he commiserates with us on regularly. Upper management is lucky to find their asshole with a map, flashlight and guide, so many people have to break out the crayons before they stop eating and listen.

If you stand behind a podium and give a speech, that podium is part of it. Whether or not her mouth made those sounds, she fucking said it.

Yes, but you’d be surprised how many times it takes for some people to realize that the “inadvertent mistake” was something the other person never cared to resolve.
