I just went out with the smokers when they were taking smoke breaks. I only ever got shit about it from two bosses and everyone else backed me up so they dropped the issue.

I’d rather service it myself and save my money, and own it so I know that it’s been properly cared for and not shit/cummed in by a dozen people.

I’m not giving up my already shitty livelihood to not have to use Microsoft shit.

Dealing with this shit at work right now because one of the vendors requires it. I have yet to run into someone in IT who knows wtf I’m talking about.

People are using this in corporate environments. No one has a choice.

Yeah, I was aware that I was a dumbass when I was 14 and my dad knew more than me. By the time I got to 21 I realized he was an idiot. That situation has only worsened as I’ve gotten older.

- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 1 week ago:
If I have to create a password Ill need to remember and don’t have access to my password manager for whatever reason I have a long phrase that’s my go to but I have a system about adding numbers and characters to it based on the context of the log in. Sites with character limits really fuck that up.

Do you happen to have a good source for learning these? I’ve looked into it in the past but everything I find about meditation and mindfulness is riddled with nonsense that doesn’t make any sense to me.
- Comment on i broke 2 weeks ago:
I manage them mostly by timeline. At any given time I have 15-20 things going I need to get done so whatever is due next gets priority. Unless it’s something difficult and I’m having trouble getting my brain to go into gear I will switch tracks and do the next item down that I’m able to knock out quickly. I also try to break larger things into small tasks. So instead of “xxxx deployment”. It’s schedule XXXX planning meeting with customer, get quote, get PO, document site, and so on. With things getting added as they come up.
I can’t really speak to the rest of your comment because nothing I do ever really gives me any kind of lasting good feeling, other than having it off by back if it had been stressing me out. Sometimes that is impetus enough to focus and get something done though.

- Comment on i broke 2 weeks ago:
I have that problem and it’s still a problem for me but what I’ve found that sort of works is to keep a to do list of all the shit I need to do. Kind of like a bulet journal but less complicated. If someone asks me to do something then instead of immediately jumping on it (unless it’s an emergency) I put it on the list. Then when I am working on something and it stresses me out to the point I am reaching for my phone I move to a different item on the list instead (sometimes). When I finish something or review the list and see a bunch of things crossed off it also gives me a little mood bump. Also keeping my phone in my bag instead of within reach and just listening to podcasts or whatever on my wireless buds helps.
None of this is a perfect solution but it did help a bit. Usually if I can get myself in a groove I can power through several items and make up the time I lost dicking around so having a list ready is handy for that as well.

“You don’t have to be mad at yourself for that any more”
“What good does worrying about that part of your past do your current self?”
For these ones I don’t really have control over that. My brain gets itself all worked up before I have any say in the matter.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 2 weeks ago:
It is an Nvidia card. Looked for a laptop option with AMD but there wasn’t one available locally and I’m not buying a laptop I haven’t laid hands on first to make sure it isn’t a piece of crap. Honestly though for Linux to be viable that shouldn’t be something you have to think about.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 2 weeks ago:
I’ve used both Mint and Bazzite. Bazzite I’m attempting as a daily driver now because it has all the gaming shit baked in already and I don’t know wtf I’m doing with that so it gave me a head start. However, Freecad runs like absolute dog shit on it, as well as every other system I’ve tried it on, so I need to keep windows around for Fusion360, I also can’t figure out how to program my G602 from it even though according to the docs I found Solaar supports it. I’m almost certain my headset won’t work on it. When I did my taxes it wouldn’t open PDFs from my network share because the PDF program doesn’t understand SMB. It already lost my Secure boot key once and I had to reinstall the OS to fix that even after turning Secure Boot off. I still need to figure out the best way to run VMs on it and I have numerous other peripherals that I haven’t even tried yet because it’s honestly exhausting to keep running into problems when I’m already stressed out from work and every other fucking thing going on in my life… I was able to get my media downloading stuff all running in Mint with only one issue that took me a couple hours due to gpodder not just having a fucking setting for the download directory and the documentation couldn’t just SAY how to export the path you want but over all that was pretty painless.

I certainly did. That good will got me buying their games up through Fallout 4 which finally crushed it. Didn’t even look at Starfield.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 2 weeks ago:
I am trying Linux but it’s not going well. I still might stick with it but it’s more because of Windows getting worse than Linux being better. Right now it’s come down to an evaluation of which things I want to not be able to do anymore because Linux doesn’t support everything I currently do or the alternative is ass or will require an inordinate amount of research to get set back up.

- Comment on Anon blames millennials 3 weeks ago:
There’s plenty of great games these days. The “golden age” wasn’t because of the quality of games. It was because I was able to delve into them deeply and enjoy them without all the concerns of my adult life running on the back of my mind pulling me out of it.
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 3 weeks ago:
I went back to just downloading it. Got a 512gb SD card in my phone with 180GB of music on it and about 40GB of podcasts. Spotify is just for when I want to find new stuff to listen to.

I’m in the US and spent most of my weekends at my girlfriend’s house when I was that age. Her dad spent all his time at the bar so we we’re always alone. Good times.

- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 3 weeks ago:
That’a ridiculous. All that effort when they could just make the test hard enough and time it so even if you have reference materials available you still have to have a good understanding of it. I couldn’t even take a test like this because I have one room to work out of and it’s got all my tech shit in it. Even if I wasn’t intending to cheat I have nowhere else to put it.

So what they’re going to make you disassemble your personal space if you happen to have a PC on the same desk you use for your school laptop?
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 3 weeks ago:
all that stuff is rendered useless by having a second computer.
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 3 weeks ago:
They weren’t donating their time. Writing tests was part of their job. They just made the questions a lot harder and more based on practical knowledge. Rather than just recalling information found in the book you had to apply the information to answer the questions.
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 3 weeks ago:
Not really a lot of the teachers at the tech school I went to did it that way and I know for a fact they weren’t getting paid well at all.
