God, always. Nothing about our current calendar is working for me.

I’ve been maining Linux for a decade and I’m completely lost. I think I need to catch up

Sometimes the stress is the only motivation you have access to!

They exist??

True, but if left unchecked, capitalists seeking shorter-term (extractive) profits will outcompete and bury their more far-sighted counterparts. That is unless there is an incentive structure exterior to purely commercial interests.

Not saying you weren’t considering this caveat, but more for completeness.

It’s enough to make you want to go into the recycling tanks.

Gross

Right?? The time stretching ahead of you like a vast unexplored country…

Yeah like it’s only a problem when I’m expected to cover the duties of the two friends who got laid off, on top of my own job description.

I wouldn’t need drugs to “lock in” if I wasn’t continually being squeezed for more more more focus more productivity more time more fucking unwavering attention.

It’s not normal! It’s this stupid grind culture that makes me disabled. When the workload is evenly shared I don’t need drugs.

This is basically a progression of how I dress for bed by season.

Although dead of winter I would be wearing a longsleeve waffle top

It’s my daily driver for email, and biggest complaint is I don’t know how to change the date format to not be super confusing. I’ve tried using it for RSS and chats too, but hasn’t really stuck for some reason or other. Great for managing multiple emails, though.

I use Fairmail on my phone.

A valuable lesson

Excellent summary. Just as a bit of trivia I’ll add that Linux file permissions go like r w x (read write execute) = 4 2 1, so taken all together a 7 means the indicated user can do all those operations.

And yeah, it breaks your system in surprising ways. Most people would just have to start over.

I accidentally did this on a work computer, just going with tab completion. Things started to break very quickly. I don’t think I could even run sudo or rm lol. Total wash. Had to reinstall (this was on my first week in office - so embarrassing!).

It felt weirder to me a few years ago. But over time a just vaguely identifiable character for 2010 to 2019 has emerged when I think of that decade.

The programming socks will be the first sign.

I like to read until I hit a noun, then look to see what community this it was posted to, then kinda riff it from there.

It’s also always been the way that the people who actually clicked the link get to come into the comments and be frustrated at us for being legitimately wrong.

I can kinda see it, though he’s not my cup of tea. I like my videos a bit more essay-like and a bit more serious mode.
