  • 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.




  • 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…
