    Bazzite is atomic KDE fedora aimed at gaming PCs, and it’s been rock solid for me for like 2 years at this point!

    This is the first time I’ve had a Linux install survive this long. Normally fedora/Ubuntu/whatever would have shit the bed by now on either a an os or GPU driver update. I think I’ve had one moderate issue that took a bit to sort out (but the system was actually usable), but nothing breaking like before.

    Finally glad to be free from windows (outside of work anyway)












  • Honestly, the idea of applying for a job going in cold over the Internet sounds like a horrible experience.

    It does sound that way, but in my very limited experience it worked out rather well.

    Current gig is the only one in my professional career where I didn’t get a foot in the door by word of mouth, and aside from it being scary, it wasn’t really that different. Got me a low 6 figure 100% remote work gig a few years back and I love it. But again, this is a sample size of 1.

    I don’t disagree with a lot of what you wrote, other than the end:

    All this means I really only feel like it’s valid to judge JK as if she were the somewhat bigoted person she originally was, rather than today’s turbo-Nazi version of her.

    I disagree, we can judge her on the choices she made that brought her to this point. She chose to engage with negative criticism with hostility and surrounded herself with people who validated the beliefs and behaviors that culminated in where we are today.

    She could have chosen to remove herself from those situations instead of jumping in with both feet, but there would have been a social/ego cost to it, so she continued letting herself be radicalized into the hateful thing she has become.

    And I judge her as someone having almost walked a similar path. I was on the alt-right pipeline over a decade ago when they were getting their feet underneath themselves, and I had a combination of self-awareness/shame that helped me come to my senses.





  • Who doesn’t love having a dumbass client tell you, the industry professional of 10-20 years and a senior member of their department, that they figured out the problem you’ve been working on for over a year, and the answer is <barely fucking related to the task at hand>?

    No joke, had TWO clients within a week send me slop telling me that ThEy TaLkEd WiTh ChAtGeMaUdE and basically tell me that to solve a issue with a specific vendor app that I really need to check the firewall for blocks for some operating system functions that aren’t even in use.

    Like fuck dude, read your own goddamned slop and use your Alleged Intelligence to see if it even sounds remotely applicable…
