Pssst… Hey, hey buddy! You got and question marks? I just used my last one.

I’m gonna teach mine to slap unhealthy food out from my hand

My sister’s name is Amanda, not Admin!

“Fuck y’all, I quit. Good luck with the crisis.”

I have a friend who was a project manager. He took the time to learn every platform used by his team, but held no pretenses that he could actually develop anything without the team. His main goal was filter all the horseshit from the stakeholders and higher-ups so that they wouldn’t overwhelm the team with minutia. By learning the platforms and observing the team developing, he could make accurate predictions on timeliness based on whatever arbitrary feature was being requested and he’d always answer “let me ask my team” before discussing deliverables if he wasn’t sure.

The number of times that he explained in meetings that’s the team’s timeline didn’t change, but that the stakeholders’ expectations did and that introduced a new additional timeline was incredible. It’s unsurprising that he only lasted a year or two before his bosses started pushing for a promotion. Seeing him work made mean bit jealous that I couldn’t be on his team, but we work at different companies and I don’t want to join the private sector if I can be of benefit to public education.

I really do need to be better at backing up my configs and especially my media. Storage is cheaper than it used to be, but it certainly isn’t cheap

I use Ubuntu desktop for my server! What can I say? I installed it one night on my desktop to see how it felt and my experiment turned into an entire fucking server because “already here. More convenient.”

Microwaving any of your computer parts can brick them.

I accidentally ran rm -rf / on my work MacBook once. Proper backups and patience with yourself are far better solutions than recommending to let Microsoft infect your computer.

I love your optimism! Although, I’m sure it’ll only lead to corporate exclusion laws

This is like a wonderful parody of every early-aught crime show featuring a tech-heavy storyline. Some of the best dry humor I’ve read in the past few weeks.

In response to the incident, the company engaged with third-party cybersecurity experts, including CrowdStrike, to investigate and mitigate the incident.

Oh good, I’m glad to see they’re forming a fuckup club

Open your eeeeeeyes, I see… Your eyes are open

Sounds like a threat

Gimp has been alright for me and (I hate to admit it) Illustrator is unparalleled when it comes to intuitive vector design.

I love Photopea and was an early-adopter/small-donor, although I’ve mostly moved to Canva for my design needs.

No, I’m looking for a solution to Lightroom and Camera Raw. I’ve tried Darktable and Rawtherapee, but, especially in Rawtherapee, I find that I quickly destroy my raw images and end up with something somehow simultaneously washed out and with crushed blacks. I’m sure it’s primarily user-error, but on my deadlines, I haven’t had a chance to learn these new platforms.

That’s so funny, I found it so light that I was somewhat scared to touch it. Then again, I’ve been known to yell at clouds concerning my age.

I have the 14 pro and my sister recently got the 16 base model. I don’t know why, but the pictures from her newer phone looked like a major leap backwards in quality. Also, the latest OS does feel like its features were written in crayon and that its waiting to kick off its training wheels. I can’t fully describe it: it’s not clunky or clumsy, it just feels like something is missing from the experience. I’ve never really felt this way from a phone version upgrade before.

While I’m still struggling to find an appropriate replacement for my photo editing apps, I’m happy to report that support and usability for most popular Linux distros have improved to the point that I now find Linux not only more stable, but easier to navigate than Win 10 was even at its best.

The amount of noise associated with Windows, generally due to people answering questions about the wrong version of windows or the wrong application, searching for any help topics is like trying to run through mud. It’s literally quicker now to learn a totally new skill on Linux than to try to update your knowledge base on Windows.

I switched to iPhone from Android because I was tired of Google making changes to their security and APIs that were killing my macros I’d write for my phone. I was also tired of Google sending everything good to the graveyard. Finally, I hated that Google would promise features or support for x number of years and then pull the rug out from under me (although, lack of support was usually caused by the manufacturer)

Before spending $1000 on my iPhone, I told my wife that it was a good investment because of Apple’s proven history of supporting devices with 5 years of updates; so we agreed that I’d keep this iPhone as my daily driver for 5 years because of the exuberant cost.

Well, my wish came true and here we are. I’ve got a phone that doesn’t respect my privacy, doesn’t respect my settings, has a frustrating UI/UX, and has low compatibility with most of my existing infrastructure. I gotta admit, though, my experience is far more consistent now, but not in a good way.

they could overload the input neurons with a ton of stimulus

“Do you smell smoke??”

“Yes, I just got a text message. Phone calls taste like bananas”

@Shatur@lemmy.ml please don’t fix your typo. This is way better
