Y’all have to use ISP provided modems?

But then I’ll miss out on all the life-enriching ads!

95%?! That makes humans look good.

Good stuff. Best of luck with the hunt. Hope you find something you like!

Consider it a blessing and move on. It may not seem that way now, but it probably is.

It’s like getting into a car you haven’t driven before and you hit the wipers instead of the indicator ×1000. Or playing an FPS and E is now F, C is now Ctrl, X is Shift, and you tap+hold instead of tap. WHY?!?! You can remap, but suddenly there’s conflicting keys for shit the tutorial hasn’t even introduced to you yet, so you don’t know what you can or can’t get away with.

Some designer or dev has a personal opinion they think is better than everything else and now we all gotta live with it on the hopes that’ll be the new standard. And there’s so many of those arseholes and their DVORAK layouts and putting “Cancel” on the left and “Confirm” on the right of a dialogue popup. “I think it’s better this way and the world will thank my big brain!”

YES I’m ranting, lol.

I really don’t care about my OS UI since I’m barely actually using it, especially after a few minutes setting up one-click actions. Less than 1% of my time and effort on the computer.

Applications, on the other hand, is where I live and FUCKING HELL!!!

ChatGPT is making me better because I’ve learned not to fucking trust it and double check everything it spits out to ensure its actually doing what’s asked of it.

I tried to tell the computer to bugger a dataset the other day because apparently I can’t type Table.Buffer()

I use Power Thesaurus lol

The OED has never been free. Go buy a copy and you’ll know why.

I’ve gotten a type of product I didn’t know existed before, but it’s never been the brand that alerted me to it. From experiences, brands that advertise generally have the lower quality and less value for money product. Brands that don’t advertise but you frequently see mentioned are generally the top tier shit for quality and value and they don’t need to advertise.

It’d be nice to block URLs of sites with intrusive popups and.adblock popups. I hit back as soon as it happens, so it’s not like I use them.anyway. removing them from search results and.sucj would save time.

I actually had ‘was’ first then edited after Googling. It appears it is still a thing but can’t really tell for what.

I always forget Metaverse is a thing.

“Well akchually…you have a good day, sir.”

Ah, I see you don’t optimise enough.

It should be…

Past you “I’ve shed so many lines and boosted processing time. It’s a masterpiece. I should document this for future me because it’s complex as hell.”

Future you “What. The. Hell…” five minutes later “Oh, I see. I’m a fucking narcissist trying to be god of something 10 people run once a week.”

I feel like proprietary software is made by someone that left the company shortly after the project was finished. They never documented in the knowledge management system, so no other employee is able to continue with it.

slow clap

I had a WFM role that involved me listening in on recordings and live calls to techs for a few years… Hell of an insight.

My end user reports are as efficiently descriptive as possible. Every time I have to submit something or contact, I aim to have their experience as pleasant as possible. I aim to be a 5-10 min break for them and am more than happy to talk shit with them as long as they want to delay their next interaction with Kevin or Karen.
