  • It does.

    The weirdness is that the random 13 year old apparently both:

    A) Has experience on a proprietary server file explorer only that was almost exclusively in use in huge data centers at the time. And… B) decides that the slow graphics heavy option is the right choice over a simple command line, while a raptor is actively breaking into the room to eat her.

    Edit: and yes, I get that we’re supposed to connect that her grandfather is rich and she grew up with all the best toys. Which arguably excuses A, anyway.









  • We’re in a “fuck around” cycle where they pretend that the problem was we didn’t have “copilot”, and not that all of our development managers are wildly unqualified.

    The “find out” part comes next.

    Which is fucking impossible to fathom, because my fucking grocery store’s app can’t even implement search reliably, today.

    I’m not sure how they’re going to manage to make things worse.

    Actually, I’ll make a guess. My guess is we will go under the critical skill level needed for building safe hospital equipment, and we will get a rash of that stuff killing people due to lack of programmer skills.

    I hope the asshole CEOs are the ones that die, but there’s not enough karma in the world for that.



  • Agreed, about keeping more goofy songs out of the kitchen.

    But I’ll make an exception for my egg cooker.

    My egg cooker beeps the equivalent beep to “I will fucking kill you all. Also these eggs are done. Seriously though, if I weren’t just an egg cooker, I would stab you right in the eye.”

    I would trade that beep for pretty much any other sound, even a goofy song.



  • I went back to Windows several times before I made the switch permanently to Linux. You just gotta do what works for you.

    This is the way.

    I went back and forth for years. Tuning and tweaking to find what works for me. Spoiler - the fully open source options are what worked best for me, eventually.

    For awhile gaming was the only place I put up with non-Linux anymore. And now with my SteamDeck, I have an easy way to avoid buying games that aren’t Linux ready.
