True zen is achieved when you realize it’s not your problem. Even better when the thing eventually breaks and you can be smug about it.
I take my shitposts very seriously.

Some required network services were located off-site. It could’ve been done in a secure way, but don’t expect such considerations from the company described above. It’s still better than the many XP and Win2000 production machines with the same internet access.
I can’t say a lot because of confidentiality, but if you had seen the factory around the time I quit, having a Win10 computer with internet access would’ve been the least of your concerns. If we had OSHA here, that building would’ve kept them busy for a week.
don’t you dare restarting that computer
We had two desktop PCs on the factory floor doing server stuff for a lot of assembly machines. We couldn’t move them to proper hardware or virtualize them because the GUI and the server were built as one monolithic application (I still don’t trust any Japanese company’s developers as a result), so one computer was made the primary server for one half of the factory and the fallback for the other half, and vice versa, to solve the reliability issues stemming from the software’s dogshit design.
What it couldn’t solve was Windows’ dogshit design. One early Monday morning, when we switched on the factory, Windows decided to force-update itself, then failed and bricked both computers. We spent half the shift with our thumbs up our asses periodically checking if tech support bothered to show up yet.
My previous work used two mission-critical software for continuous operation.
One was some guy’s university project written in Object Pascal and PHP and largely untouched since 2006. I tried offering fixes (I also knew Pascal), but I was rejected every time because the cumulative downtime caused by software issues was not enough to justify the downtime caused by the update (obviously this was determined by a Middle Manager (derogatory)).
The other was (I shit you not) an Excel spreadsheet with 15000 lines and 500 columns. I tried making a copy and cleaning it up, but Excel couldn’t handle the amount of data and ran out of memory.
From Divinity Original Sin 2 co-op. Not my campaign, but I was wheezing for five minutes from this:
“So are we the bad guys?”
“I don’t know, but I’m about to kill her with her own dad.”
All fun and games until Officer Fulton calls in a skyhook
If the hunters and gatherers don’t want to die, why are they made of fertilizer?
Regicide.
If you put the whole ass campfire in the tent, it might fly away. Put the fire in the freezer overnight, then thaw it out in chunks when needed.
Alternatively, scrape some glue off your pizza and use it to stick the tent’s bottom to the ground.
For non-speakers, it’s kind of like reading Scots as a monolingual English speaker. https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_leid
Evil is evil, Stregobor. Mozilla is still a company that does company things. The current CEO has worked for AirBNB, Ebay, and Paypal, so not an inspiring history there either.
At a quick glance, the Sweet Ambar Blue SDDM theme has two versions – one for Plasma 5 and another one for Plasma 6. You probably want the one for Plasma 6. You can check which version of Plasma you’re running in System Settings -> About this System -> KDE Plasma Version.
Be extremely careful when installing Plasma/SDDM themes. They are user-submitted, not always reviewed, and can contain arbitrary code. There have been incidents involving malicious damaging code downloaded through Plasma global themes.
Naw, everybody knows that you have to use regex for that
People who consciously use and support F/LOSS usually do it because they look at software with a very critical eye. They see the failures of proprietary software and choose to go the other way. That same critical view is why they are critical of most “AI” tools – there have been numerous failures attributed to AI, and precious little value that isn’t threatened by those failures.
you’re closer to hell, it’s understandable
Probably work on Château Picard. Like living in a hypothetical post-scarcity world, having all of your needs met is not an excuse not to do productive work, or to adopt selfish goals.
If it’s going to be your problem no matter what, start making offline backups of your email account, and print out the email conversation where the bossmang rejected the fix. Make sure your HR rep is present on every meeting,
evenespecially if it makes the people uncomfortable.(this assumes that you live in a place where employee protection laws exist, i.e. it might not work in America)
