  • 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…




  • 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.


  • a time when we knew that Nazis were as extinct

    The only people who “knew” Nazis were extinct never paid much attention to history. We brought Nazi scientists over, and German government was populated by former Nazis, because who else was going to run their government? Also plenty of Nazis went in vacation to South America before justice could be served.

    We only defeated the Nazi state and killed their high command (that we could). Much like after the US Civil War, there wasn’t enough done to root out the underlying rot.

    Plus, we never dealt with the Nazis at home…






  • Remember those parents forgetting their toddlers in cars on hot summer days? Being forgetful is a sin in the sense that if you don’t work to resolve it early or be mindful of it, that parent could one day be you.

    No joke, that worry kept me up on more than a few nights because I’m forgetful as hell.

    While my kid was that young, I had a stuffie that was in their car seat when they weren’t, and it went on the passenger seat anytime they were in the car. Thankfully nothing ever happened, but that was one of the many anxieties that came during the pandemic…



  • Thanks, and it wasn’t an easy or quick process to get here, but I’m glad I did. Along with my void I’ve got an Odin who loves to give out love too.

    As for when you’re ready, that day will come eventually and fretting about it doesn’t make it come any quicker. Good on you for finding something to put that energy to, I didn’t and it was a rough first year. Hopefully that will help the process.

    I can’t do anything more than offer condolences and say that it gets easier over time. I lost my void of almost 20 years a few years back, and I’m happy to say that I finally overcame the grief and rescued another void this past year. Before then they’d make me cry, so I’ve made a lot of progress.

    Nothing will replace your kitty, but the feelings do get easier to deal with over time. I still miss my old girl fiercely, but sharing that love with another kitty has helped, once I came to terms with it anyway.







  • It is unreasonable to expect users to understand.

    Or read, be it app popups or error messages. Or learn how to use tools that have been in place for years. Or take basic responsibility for their inability or unwillingness to learn and understand.

    At some point, saying “it’s unreasonable to expect the user to understand something” is itself unreasonable. Maybe it’s because I’ve been in IT for like 20 years, but I have minimal sympathy for people who choose not to understand the basic utilities that they have to interact with for their jobs that have been in place for a long time. At the very least, you should know how file management works if you’re making files as part of your job, and that you don’t just delete files from your system, especially important business files…
