I've progressed quite far in the technical science part of my job. I'm at the top end of the graph and encouraging my junior staff to simplify their language and message. Some things absolutely need technical terms, but they don't need to use overly complicated words to say "this has moved up" or "this thing is bad". More often meaning gets lost in using euphemisms instead of being clear about the message.

I've moved up the management role as well and really can't bring myself to move from the bottom end of the meme graph. Management really has its own language so they can say lots of words in meetings with very little meaning. We're in the business of doing shit......are we going to do shit or not?

If that happens: Don't watch shit and certainly don't pay for shit.

Even if nothing good is made for years, I guarantee there are millions of hours of undiscovered movie and series content for you to find in older releases. These companies are going to consolidate more and more, and will churn out sequels, spin offs, low effort movies, AI trash and easy cash-grabs. We need to not watch that shit and let these companies die. Pick the indie movies. Pick better quality older stuff. Wait for however long it takes for the industry to get over its unacceptable enshitification.

Games have the same problem. It is your responsibility to not pay for this micro transaction hell.

WTF does it mean? Are we doing the project or not??

People would end up skipping it anyway when they rush to respawn.

The choice of Linux distro is a major battlefield. You couldn't have gotten to any answer that wouldn't invite complaints.

This is the way.

Tried 5 but it got too floppy.

I don't have the answer to your problem, but this sort of thing can easily be done with a Vial compatible mechanical keyboard.

A couple of years ago I spent a while looking to try every rollerball fountain pen I could find. Here are my suggestions:

Schneider Ray rollerball pen

This is easily the best. Smooth. Writes great. Starts writing immediately. Never leaks. This is easily my most used.

Downside: I like ultrafine line width, this is kinda medium line width

Schneider Ceod Rollerball Pen

Similar to the above, but slightly thicker line width (if you prefer that).

Kakimori Rollerball Pen

This is a premium and smooth pen with ultra-fine line width, but that comes with feeling very scratchy on paper. This is the best I could find for ultra fine line width.

No-name ultra cheap Ali Express pens

These are dirt cheap from AliExpress and come in fine and ultra-fine line width. They work well enough. Would probably recommend sticking with these if you want fine line width. Probably not worth spending on the premium option above.

Herbin Rollerball

I wish I had small enough hands to use this. Really good pen. Looks premium. Very pocketable. The small size limits it to small size ink cartridges and makes it difficult to use with big hands. You can put the cap on the back to make it a comfortable size, but that the makes it back-heavy.

I've used these pens for over a year. They're still working fine. The only problem has been that if I don't use the pen the ink dries up and it stops working. That only pen that gave me trouble with leaks was the Kakimori pen, and that was only because of temperature changes (leaving it in the car, then taking it indoors to a warm environment.....this leaking went away when I left the pen in an office drawer).

No he doesn't. There isn't space for him. I'm in the car with 4 friends smoking weed and fapping already while he checks the engine.

Your mechanic sits on your car smoking weed and fapping?

 

I was having trouble with access to my work remote desktop from home. Each time I was told the issue was fixed, I went home and it didn't work again.

So, I used my work PC to use remote desktop on my home server, and use that to remote access the work remote desktop again. Managed to troubleshoot the problem and complete the steps I needed to do on site to get this working.

I'm new to self hosting and am really enjoying having access to my home services. I chuckled at remote desktop inception, but it's been really helpful in solving my problem.

And when I get bored of Hollow Knight, I pick up Gran Turismo 4 and Slay the Spire.

 

There are lots of good FOSS options.

I would strongly recommend checking this site for the trackers in an app if you're at all concerned about privacy. Links to each app's exodus privacy report is also at the end of the table linked above.

FYI, Nova has been owned by a data mining company for many years and it is worth moving away from even if you think it is good enough now and doesn't need updates.

 

Last year I identified a workplace poop toilet for myself. It's in the next building over. It's a single toilet. A men's toilet. It's outside a large office in which only women work. So this toilet is always unused. Always clean. Always private. If I (rarely ever) need to poop at work, this is where I go.

Today I was on my way and a work acquaintance intercepted me. Every turn I took, he seemed to be going the same way and was telling me about his mother's fractured hip along the way. I had to walk twice as far beyond where I intended and finally shook him with a bogus excuse for needing to go to some unrelated department; and then had to check around corners while I double back.

I've made it though. Just wanted to update you all about this while I'm on the throne.
