I SMS my boss when I’m off sick.

Pirrrrrrrr = Pir^8

I need a documenter!

I have a head full of stuff that hasn’t had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn’t job security, it’s a major risk.

My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along “up-skilling” (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).

Now THAT’S a level of retaliation I can get behind.

All out interstellar war, and the eradication of all machines smarter than a light switch.

Your tip is “make another game and I’ll buy it because the last one was good”.

I bought your product and you want me to pay extra because it lived up to what it promised?

You want me to pay someone more for simply doing their job? If you aren’t paying them enough, that they needs tips to survive, that seems like an employer underpaying. If it’s tip or I fuck with your food or chase you down in the street… Then that’s extortion.

“But with proper wages instead of tips the cost goes up.” THE COST IS ALREADY UP BECAUSE OF THE TIP YOU IDIOT, except it isn’t standardised or garunteed.

“But if there is no tips to incentivise people they won’t give good service.” What ever happened to do your job, get paid. Fuck it up and get fired.?

All it does is introduces stress between customer and staff. And causes a sense of entitlement to tips for things that don’t need it at all. Why the fuck is a self-checkour machine asking for a tip!?

A tip should be for EXCEPTIONAL service. Not for the bare minimum.

Tipping culture can get fucked in the ass with a sideways chair.

Bro couldn’t even clean his room in 3 days.

Every site in the early 2000s had a left nav menu

People make mistakes, that’s why we automate things. If a system relies on a human not making mistakes it is doomed to fail eventually.

Saving manually should be a feature, but autoaave should be on by default these days, unless 30+ years of people losing work due to not hitting “save” manually has taught us nothing.

Crashes happen. Errors happen. Pets and children happen. Any major document editor should be able to auto save and replay a very long history of actions.

Improve the system, because you can’t improve people with a code patch.

A massive swathe of current gen devices don’t even support it.

It won’t be a month.

Microsoft announce changes much smaller than that 4 years out and still have to give extensions.

WQ = Write and Quit Q! = quit and do nothing else

Multiline cut, copy, paste is where I forget commands.

No. Some of us were already there.

Lifetime Microsoft expert here, I have had machines with Linux in one flavour or another for 15+ years at least.

But for ease of use I just keep coming back to Windows… Because I know it backwards and upside down.

The structure of it makes sense to me. And I have ADHD so I have a terrible working memory and Linux relies FAR too much on command console to do anything effective.

But Linux is hands-down the better system to get away from Microsoft’s enshitification of Windows. But I personally like Windows better.

So I will always run both. But if I need to be really productive, Windows Desktop it is. If I need a server, Linux every time. (Unless it’s MS SQL or a website).

Open-source it a better interface then.

Until it’s as useful as at least Sync for Lemmy, people will use 3rd party proprietary apps

You don’t even have to get off your fat arse.

Pascal, turbo Pascal and Delphi were my earliest real programming experiences making commercial software (the ability to inline assembly code in turbo Pascal was very good.)

It really was an excellent introduction to programming.

But then I switched to properly multithreadded object oriented programming, which Pascal was not so good at.

I’m going to re-raise the point about playing games while driving being the worst idea I’ve heard this year.

Excuse me. Ignoring the terrible idea of playing games while driving…

Since when are blind people driving?

I notice negatives to it as well.

When I trim the driveway hedge I have to pick any errant cuttings out of the rose garden. So I spend about 1-2 hours looking for one type of leaf amongst another type of leaf.

When I close my eyes for the next 12 or so hours all I can see is the type of leaf I was looking for, my brain is so locked on to looking for the pattern.

It’s a nack. See one, the others will likely be in a tent shaped layout. Some brains are just very good at visual pattern matching.

I have an unbroken record for being the person that finds anything tiny and lost. In school the kids called me “night vision”.

Lose a ball over the fence an 1am. 10 people looking. Can’t find it. Get me to look and I find it in 1 minute or less. Lost a diamond or earring backing in shag carpet? I’ll find it ao fast you won’t believe it.

I’ve occasionally had to pretend it takes longer to find it, just so they don’t think I pranked them and took it.

As the owner of a .info domain, I know this pain all too well.

I just had the Twitch stream on in the background, for the free Warframe.
