Same story. I actually did bounce back after getting a bad performance review, but then I got let go anyway, now I’m both burned out and jaded.

I like software engineering, actually solving interesting problems. I didn’t sign up to be a condom between Claude and prod.

Your family is incorrect. Been to Japan twice, the toilets are so nice, I invested in a very nice bidet when I got home after the first trip. Now I don’t want to shit anywhere else.

February of 2025, looks like.

Watch Together isn’t removed, but it’s been deprecated and has stopped working on at least one platform (Chromecast).

Really shitty move to be removing/deprecating functionality and then asking for more money.

I think both “per serving” and “per 100g” should be required. Some foods/drinks come with “0g carbs” or “0 calories” in small enough servings, but only because the actual amount is negligible. The problem is that once the serving gets large enough, those things do start to matter, especially for instance carbs for diabetics.

Multiple times I’ve run into a “low carb” or “low sugar” drink that said something like 2 or 3g carbs per serving, and then had 2 or 3 servings per bottle, which ending up raising my blood sugar more than expected. Technically that’s on me for not checking the “per serving” and “servings per container”, and I’ve since learned my lesson, but it’s still annoying.

Nah, I’m just diabetic.

Oh wait, I go to the doctor for that…

Reminds me of when I had a rogue ~ directory sitting in my own home directory (probably from a badly written script). Three seconds into rm -rf ~ and me wondering why it was taking so long to complete, I CTRL+C, reboot, and pray.

Alas, it was a reinstall for me that day (good excuse to distro hop, anyway). Really glad I don’t mount my personal NAS folder in my home directory anymore, holy shit.

Or ban them outright! Benefits of running my own isntance, haha.

Yeah, their BYOD plan works great if they sell the phone you’re using. My Pixel 7 I got from the Google Store worked just fine with AT&T for two years before I upgraded. I just didn’t even consider whether they sold the device or not to be important to the functionality of the phone.

Not with AT&T. Bought a Pixel 9 Pro Fold on a huge sale from Google themselves, but because AT&T doesn’t sell it, they couldn’t provision it correctly on their network. Went through all the troubleshooting, they sent me a new SIM even. Finally I did my own research online, found a reddit post where someone talked to an employee on some internal AT&T team that said they probably won’t ever support it properly since they don’t sell it.

So that was frustrating.

I’ve always wondered what the use case for Gentoo-but-binary is. I’m sure there is one, I just can’t think of one.

Not a “conflict” per se, but I know Nvidia drivers had an issue for years where it would waste a lot of CPU cycles if no Nvidia card was detected. I think that finally was fixed last year, though.

Being fat is a choice the vast majority of the time, and I have a huge bias against big people.

I used to be fat (250ish lbs (110ish kg) at 5’8"ish (172ish cm)), and as much as I would like to blame my shit on anything else, the person feeding me, the person sitting at the computer for hours, the person actively avoiding all physical activity was me and no one else. After I got diagnosed with some weight related shit, I turned my entire life upside down, am at a much healthier 150 lbs (68ish kg), and feel so much better, both physically and mentally.

I’m aware of my bias, and I make every active effort to counter it in my actual dealings with bigger people. Especially because there are certain circumstances, however rarely, where it may not actually be their fault. But I’d be lying if I said my initial impression was anything except “God, what a lazy, fat fuck.”

Edit: Added metric units
