I’d like to point out that an Austrailian helped get us to this point.

My company (small, < 50 people) basically did an informal survey and then CEO said that working from home is here to stay, with the option to work in the office whenever we want (and some do).

Yeah, I intended the question to come across as kind of a joke. My uncle doesn’t really spend time online, but he needed a computer to look for jobs. He is living in my basement though, so I do have some concern about what comes over our network. But I wasn’t planning to actually do anything beyond my typical pc setup.

I love this!

My late void used to sleep on my bed and snore. Often the sound would get picked up on my laptop’s microphone and coworkers in meetings would ask what that sound was.

I think it just takes up to a few hours for changes to propagate to all the DNS servers.

Well, it’s still is a little bit frightening, you gotta give me that.

Damn. Everybody really is kung-fu fighting.

I like apt, but I what I love about GUI package managers like Discover is that I can browse software, read descriptions, and even view some screenshots before deciding if I want to install something.

Perhaps my use case isn’t typical, but I love just browsing, and I haven’t seen many package managers that allow that (with screenshots, at least).

Same reason I’ve been on an emulation binge with NES-era games recently.

Shadow of the Colossus has been a long-time favorite of mine. I also liked Fatal Frame. I think I also remember enjoying Rule of Rose, but I have very little memory of that one. I just remember it was weird.

I’ll give it some more time to make sure.

Who the fuck has conversations about people’s attractiveness? That shit is boring.

I’m glad I didn’t skip this one. But now I want to play a video game about these characters.

My dad had a pet skunk when he was a kid. He said it was like a cat.

Nah. Just basic Azure stuff.

I just tried to do a certification exam with these pricks a few hours ago. It was my first time and I was not expecting the degree of privacy-violating photos they would need of my workspace. I work in my bedroom and my desk wasn’t clean enough. I think. I could barely understand what the guy was saying due to his thick accent. I think I got disconnected twice and just gave up. Fucking scam. All for a worthless piece of fucking paper to prove I can do the same job I’ve been doing for the past 13+ years.

Worth it.

What I fear more than the tech is the idea that when most jobs are replaced with it, people will still be expected to find work somehow.
