Man you said it. I despise discord. My gaming group will post things in the chat, and if you ever want to look at something again it’s a pain in the ass to find it

That’s not this quarter’s problem, silly!

What happens when I, a potential new Linux user, need to search for how to make something work on Linux and thanks to SEO and AI driven/created search results I can’t find the solution?

My unpopular opinion is that whatever you record should consider the format it’ll be viewed in as well as the orientation of the subject in the video. Is it going to be viewed on a phone, one handed, while someone is eating or pooping? Then vertical might make sense. If the subject fits better in a vertical video, then that makes sense as well.

I don’t know how people manage to use Libby. Always takes months to get the book I’m wanting to read, which is fine if it’s a one-off, but I really like reading long series

Into another environment?

I just wish I could send videos that aren’t compressed to shit. Who cares about colors

I work in a hospital. I’m a PT so a lot of my job is recommending what kind of rehab someone might need after a stay after working with us at the hospital (outpatient, skilled nursing, acute rehab, home health).

United is the worst insurance for this stuff. They deny shit because they can, with no regard for what the patient needs.

I often play old games that have compatibility issues with windows 10. Most recently FEAR required a .dll from a site for a stable framerate.

People keep saying “gaming works” on Linux but are they talking about modern games? Do old games “just work?” I have very little free time to fart about with fixing too many issues with an old game. How well does this stuff work?

I used OneNote all thru grad school and while I had complaints with the app, the ability to have notes on my surface that updated on my phone and desktop, accessible anywhere, without tons of notebooks and paper, and the PowerPoints included in the one note pages with my diagrams and notes alongside… It was great! I don’t need a notes app anymore but man what a useful concept. I hope they get better with time

I worked for HP for a while in college. HP Rep. It paid like 14 an hour when minimum wage was 6 and I just got to stand around in best buy or office max, etc, selling printers and training staff on features. It was retail but without all the bullshit like cleaning the bathrooms or running the register or needing to hit sales targets, etc. It was a real kushy job.

About halfway through my time there HP started pushing ePrint, or other cloud features, and ink subscriptions, etc. That was about the time I think their quality really started to nosedive. Printers have always been printers (brother notwithstanding, but now it’s starting to slip with inclusion of more invasive drm and ink subscriptions) but before the onset of cloud based stuff, it seemed, I dunno, better? Not great, but better

Hey, don’t disrespect Lego like that

I started using duck duck go a few months ago and have felt like my search results are a lot more useful since.

The maps function on it sucks though

It’s not like getting fired as a CEO is a negative. They leave with a golden parachute and get hired elsewhere

Waivers can’t totally exonerate someone from all harm caused

Seems more like one person who could lift the couch one handed is sitting on it yelling at the person who can’t lift it by themselves

My father in law went to a heat pump instead of propane this year. No natural gas where he lives.

But he also dropped 20k on a solar system to power it.

I use Duolingo for Spanish but also practice with Spanish speakers. I also click on the forum stuff for info on grammar, because I don’t think the grammar really comes through in the app if you don’t already know the gist of the rules. Or I look it up in a Spanish text.

But the vocab practice i do find helpful.

There was a brief period of time when chrome launched it seemed faster to me. I also liked the way it had a clean ui compared to others at the time. Used it for years, and it just got worse and worse.

I switched to Firefox a few years ago and it’s much better imo. But I remember feeling like chrome was really good for a little while.

whatever the fuck we call an X

My favorite term has been xcretion
