Shai-Hulud actually does some good though. Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people.

The fact that you launch into some part of your day doesn’t change that it’s gauging your mood on her end.

Maybe not, but the fact that me launching into that is an accepted and expected part of the response does.

If a manager calls me about a project and asks how I am, they don’t want me recounting an earlier frustrating interaction. As you say, they’re trying to gauge my mood, but ultimately my mood or how it came to be are irrelevant because we’re here to talk business. If I omit my headache, they don’t care.

If my GF asks me, she actually wants a response. If I omit my headache and she finds out later, she’ll be upset: “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

That expectation is the difference.

If a colleague asks me “Hi, how’re you doing?” it’s small talk and I’ll respond something like “Oh you know, the usual.” If my partner asks me “Hi, how was your day?” it’s a genuine question and I will respond “That fucking dickhead at work that always plays nice and personable came around with another set of “urgent” requests and no fucking clue what he’s actually asking for, whether it’s possible or why I told him last week it isn’t.”

The difference is in how serious I take the question.

Adding on to the other comment, Nobara is maintained by Glorious Egroll, the same guy that also develops the popular Proton-GE compatibility tool which adds some extra fixes on top of Valve’s Proton.

(Proton is the compatibility tool Steam uses to make Windows games run on Linux, in case you’re unfamiliar)

Let’s put an end to the discussion

lol
lmao

Is it me or does that post author name look like a lot of the bots named “WordWordNumber”?

Edit: let me rephrase. Your original comment didn’t mention what you did. You made a snide remark about reading comprehension when you didn’t even reread your own comment. That’s just hostile for no reason.

– Original reply:

Because that’s what the other person asked. “Secluded myself” isn’t really an answer. I can seclude myself counting leaves in the forest, lay down and stare at the ceiling, walk circles around my room and try to make them perfectly circular…

It’s not that you have to tell; saying “I don’t know” or “I’d rather not say” would be an answer too. But you made a snide remark regarding the other person’s reading comprehension (why?) and fail to properly comprehend their question (or mine).

…and what did you do while high?

Not me. I don’t care. The version of me that I’ve got right now is alright, I’m in no hurry to “find myself”. Either I’ll come across myself by chance or it can’t have been that important.

huffs excessive amounts of Copium

Also, to make sure there are no linguistic roots left over on your system that it might grow from again, add --no-preserve-root.

Do you mean the victims or the instances of SCP-3008-2? I don’t think the anomaly itself is curable.

Summary for those not familiar: SCP-049 is a plague doctor that seeks to violently “cure” anyone afflicted with some nondescript “Pestilence”.
SCP-3008 is an endless and nearly inescapable IKEA, where the “Staff” (labeled SCP-3008-2) are entirely unresponsive during the day but become violent at night towards anyone still in the store after closing time.

SCP Foundation is a fictional (I hope) organisation with the mission to Secure, Contain, Protect various anomalies catalogued with numbers (SCP-#) which are thus also referred to as SCPs. These anomaly descriptions are available on https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/

Some of the anomalies are references to other fictional things. If you’re familiar with Slenderman, for instance, you may enjoy SCP-096.

I never push to production 😎

I give my users a dev preview and ask for feedback before finalising, they never respond and I find out later they’re using it daily.

Feed him enough of it and it will work

I once worked on a codebase where the reset function had a hardcoded default password

For God so loved the world that he invented a hell to throw people into so he could call himself merciful by sending his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I think I might have gotten a weird translation there. Anyway, he loves you so much he might choose not to throw you into the lake of fire.

Sounds like a university I know - brilliant and accomplished people, very proud of it, to the point of projecting that pride on everyone else and assume everyone must hold their full title as dear as they do. The idea of one of my teachers, some “First Name, Baron of Examplington-Doublename”, telling us to just call him “Mr. Examplington” would have shorted out their brains.

For all their laudable competencies, humility was not among them.

(Not in Australia, but I imagine it’s hardly exclusive.)

Stopped clocks and all, they’re still endorsing an absolute shithead over one issue that he hasn’t even actually delivered on, but who has good reason to insist on authoritarian surveillance measures.

If you care about privacy, betting on companies that suck up to Authoritarians is a bad idea.

Oh FFS, and here I was recently considering switching to ProtonMail… fuck the fuck off.

Dear CEOs: if you’re eager to suck dick, I’m sure you can find someone better than authoritarian shitheads. Have some fucking standards.

He uses a pencil, paper and a mechanical calculator to tally up the bill, which I absolutely understand when your career is in IT.

When the alternative is either having to search, evaluate, compare, select and configure an application for that purpose that you’re never quite happy with, or to scope, design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, eternally find things you wish you’d done better, refactor, realise you’re spending your free time on doing more of your job, regret your life choices, resolve to only make this last improvement and then call it good enough, renege on that promise to yourself a week later, burn out, curse that damn app for ruining your hobby…

…yeah, using the most trivial low-tech solution possible does look rather sensible.
