I SMS my boss when I’m off sick.

ICQ was still online!?!?!

I stopped using that shit like 25 years ago. Thought died in the late 90’s

Yeah… I’m not gonna worry about it until maybe September next year.

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).

Doesn’t even put “Switch” in the pictures

You bank does’t have an app?

My Australian bank has a full-featured app for apple and android. There is very little you can’t do in the app.

All the emergency, and stop my card type tasks are right there. I’d have to call for a home loan or something big. But pausing, stopping and cancelling my cards is all right there along with easy transfer etc.

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.

I have yet to see any evidence. Just that the CEO is a crypto/AI enthusiast. Not that it was used in the game.

It really just looks like someone tried to make a better Pokemon game.

Not the sort of game that appeals to me, but I’m glad people are having fun.

I’m waiting for the reveal that all assets have been AI generated.

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).

“Your maximum is 7.2 shots per day.” (Espresso)

My typical day is 8-12 shots + Concerta for ADHD.

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.

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

Meanwhile it screwwed my body up. It caused a cascade that resulted in nearly losing my feet.

Have you heard of Lord Shaxx?

It has a twist bezel and two remappable side buttons. OG galaxy watch

Or on my watch.

and it works the same on any device you can sign in on.

Because I have a family subscription. YT and YT music for the whole family, means my kids are ad free and managed. I use the heck out of it and can afford it.

I don’t pay for Spotify, and with the price hike Disney + is about to get the eye patch treatment.

But I really do use the heck out of YT, so for me it’s worth it.

But if you don’t see the value, do what you gotta do.

I was only trying to exit Vi.
