if working with my hands like a peasant paid what my job does, I’d do it in a heartbeat. fuck this mental exhaustion and stress, I’d rather be working the field eight hours a day for the same pay
AI is not coming for my job, which leads me to believe it’s not coming for that many other ‘skilled’ jobs
damn. well congrats on the progress so far
hope it goes well. your knees and ankles will thank you


siege was pretty cool for the first two years


I was there for a while. I finally got around to it and played semi regularly for a year and a bit, took a year or two off, and then finished off what was apparently the last quest of the base game lol
it’s a decent game. you don’t need to a ton of time to make it worthwhile but you do need to play it in slightly longer individual chunks (playing 30 min at a time isn’t very viable).
if you can, give it a try. but yeah it does require some time, it’s not like popping into minecraft for a bit or mini metro for a round. but it’s also not like civ’s ‘just one more turn’
I liked the story, environments, and gameplay. I found I enjoyed it best when I actually relaxed into it instead of trying to rush through and complete stuff, so again yeah maybe won’t be possible for your available time. but it’s not necessary to complete it to get enjoyment out of it. around a third of the way through to halfway through is probably where I enjoyed it the most. maybe even earlier?
yeah we don’t tend to have logical home choices like that over here in Canada
we also like to design bathrooms in such a way that the sink is immediately in front of the opening door, which means you’re not allowed to put the light switch adjacent to the door knob of the closed door position where it would be really convenient and intuitive, which means it’s usually awkwardly beyond the door knob in the open door position, because we never have light switches outside of the room they control
why, is your landlord coming by to check if you’ve extended a switch circuit outside of the wall?
tape that shit to the wall and live in the future with your light switch right next to your bed
getting up to grab my phone from across the room where I keep it so I don’t doomscroll in bed
because I forgot to turn off the smart bulbs that are also controlled by the switch on the other side of the room


there’s no chance my company stops using Windows any time soon
and until then, I need MS to stop doing their goddamn best to make it impossible for me to do my job


2/3 of the voting population didn’t vote against him, btw
doesn’t really seem like “literally one person”


some management, sure. just like some of your coworkers could probably be replaced by AI. but not the competent ones, and not the essential ones.
and personally, I’d still rather work with an incompetent person who can improve than four incompetent chatbots
although I’d rather work with no incompetence at all
that doesn’t mean it has to say bullshit like that, it ruins the joke
how the fuck does this save water, you still need the same amount per bowl


yeah, I actually like it now, but that’s mostly because they made the start menu so fucked up and full of shit
I’ve adjusted to just hitting start and typing the first few characters of what I want to open and slapping enter. I’m okay with that process, I actually kind of like it. I don’t need to look at what’s going on and I don’t need to move my hand over to the mouse. The only problem, and this is kind of a big thing, is that yeah it doesn’t search just my fucking installed programs, and sometimes it just opens another program that doesn’t even match what I typed. so the 60% success rate at best is kind of a big failure


One of my bosses was screen sharing with me this week and had co-pilot up in Excel. I don’t know what he was doing with it. he started fucking around with it while he was screen sharing, just doing something unrelated to what we were talking about. I know he was just trying to bait me into asking what was going on.
fuck that, I don’t care, I know you love your AI, I don’t give a shit, it’s not useful for what I do and I don’t want to talk about how it can almost do something kind of right


Microsoft removed my quick access links to my desktop folder today
why? I don’t know. I guess they want to force me to use the OneDrive desktop folder. which I do use, for shit I want synced to OneDrive. but I also have a local desktop folder I use for temp files, and fuck you very much Microsoft left me fucking use my computer how I want to
side note, I had a little program that would export a file that a user had open to their desktop in a specific format. great program, super useful for the application we were running it in, it made a multi-step process of navigating menus into a single button click. I’ve been using it for the past few years at this company. cue my surprise when some new people inform me that the button doesn’t work for them and so they haven’t been using it - BECAUSE MICROSOFT TOOK AWAY THE LOCAL USER DESKTOP FOLDER LMFAO. it blew my mind that people had to go manually create a desktop folder, I had never thought to add checking if that folder exists to the code.

dude curling 60 is huge. most people can’t do 30. you’re not gonna be a small guy when you’re curling 60
I don’t see why then being a guest would mean you should invite them to track dog shit and greasy dirt all over your house, though
