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?

Into another environment?

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.

We use browser office 365 at work. It’s on a Windows computer. I gotta say it sucks ass if your stuff doesn’t all live in an associated onedrive. We have a shared drive that common files live in and accessing them from the browser office is a mess.

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 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

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.

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.

I had a surface in grad school and used one note. It was so clunky but I could edit things on my surface and then pull them up on my desktop for studying or writing papers. I wish there was a better option but it was the best I could find that was cloud based at the time.

It’s a crime how many features they gutted from 2016, but that one didn’t work great on touch screen for me

whatever the fuck we call an X

My favorite term has been xcretion
