Whenever I feel this way I remember the inspiring words of Bingbong from Inside Out who said “I think it’s gunna work this time” and “Take her to the moon for me”.

don’t let Elizabeth Bik see this, I don’t want to see the truth
ugh, i hate meetings that are just full of buzzwords.
when it was the wrong server and you’re hoping it comes back up before 5 minutes and nagios starts sending alerts
probably got a computer engineering degree and get filtered out of jobs they’re qualified for because they don’t have an electrical engineering degree and people assume they don’t understand simple things like how semiconductors work even though it’s basically the same degree but when they finally do get past HR then the manager is like “you’re a computer guy right? can you fix this printer?” And then they’re like yeah i can fix it but not because I’m a computer guy I just worked in IT helldesks to pay for college and proceeds to turn off the copier with the big switch hidden 2 covers down and turn it back on again and it works again but then they’re suddenly the computer guy for every stupid thing around the office and they try to set boundaries and then crowdstroke happens and everyone looks at them to fix it and they know how to fix it because they saw the fix on lemmy while doom scrolling that morning before they even got to work but they say just wait for IT to fix it I’m an engineer not an IT guy and then an otter engineer says ‘‘i can fix with leenux’’ and proceeds to destroy the windows bootloader, I’m not even sure how he managed that, the fix should have been pretty simple with a live usb just mount the disk and delete the bad file, and then IT shows up and manages to fix all of the office in a few minutes except the one with the broken boot loader so that has to get reimaged and even though they didn’t do anything they’re suddenly even more the computer guy because they knew the fix was coming and i’m not bitter about it.
Ze Frank has a good video about these psycho clown bastards.
Nah, if you haven’t fought windows printer drivers then you’ve just been lucky. Meanwhile you can almost always convince CUPS to spit out a print.
doesn’t even have bluetooth, smh
I try to use dxf instead of dwg when I can, it’s got everything I need. I think the public sector should require open standards for submissions.
Because USB would be gross
This was me showing my daughter how to play Morrowind in TES3MP.
dad gives me a quarter so I can immediately lose in some claymation caveman game. i got a personal panned pizza for reading some books. there’s a pitcher of diet pepsi on the table, i think the condensation looks neat. The waitress vacuums up the straw wrapper my sister missed shooting at me with a rolling sweeper thing as she asks my parents “the usual?”
I miss those days.
Man, it sure would suck if you could still get to safe mode from pressing f8. Can you imagine how terrible that’d be?

Vista because of license shenanigans. I tried to upgrade from XP and the license wouldn’t activate. Support told me my upgrade license wasn’t compatible with my XP license, like pro vs home or some crap. I was reinstalling Vista every 30 days for a while, I even got it down to like 15 minutes using a slipstreamed DVD with all the stuff I cared about being installed with the OS. It was manageable but annoying since I paid for the OS and the upgrade but couldn’t really use it. Then I took intro to unix and found out linux is free, I’d heard of linux but didn’t know it was free. I didn’t know what a distro was, I wasted a bunch of time trying to download linux from kernel.org and I couldn’t figure out how to get linux to work. Eventually I stumbled upon Ubuntu. Folks, you might not believe this but once upon a time Ubuntu used to be great for newbies. I can still hear the startup music (which was the style at the time) and the african drums. My printer just fucking worked. Firefox and libreoffice just worked, although I quickly learned to turn in deliverables as pdf exports. There were some learning pains but nothing that was any more difficult than random shit that pops up in windows, at least with linux I might get a useful error to point me in the right direction and there was always someone out there smarter than me that posted how to fix it. I haven’t looked back.
until google stops patching it but lineage still keeps updating
have to wear socks with your crocs or your feet get sweaty
