I treat myself because I deserve it. Keeps me focused on working to pay off the treats.

Don’t we try to categorize everything though? Like, could you wear a combination of items without someone trying to categorize it into a style? If it were true that you cannot, absurdist style would be impossible to depict visually.

My fetish is sending a document as a copy and then seeing someone edit it in realtime while I’m in it.

So you’re challenging me to tell you what I think of you doing what I suggested?

Sure. Like if you enjoy doing that stuff it would be totally worth it I’m sure.

There is a particular kind of person who prefers setup and config to doing anything with a computer, and it’s hard to hide my disdain for that sometimes but that doesn’t make it wrong. It also doesn’t mean I’m doing anything with a computer. We’re biased towards ourselves, I get that.

Like, we just put a dog down so I was thinking about my own mortality and how much time I have in life. It’s not a lot, and the idea of making sure an email address is functioning today sounds like hell.

I’m leaving the original statement up because I don’t think enough people walk back hasty statements online.

It sounds like a win win for you and I like that for you.

I print a few exceptional photos a month to save.

I sell my time for like $30/hr. How much money would self hosting cost me vs a data leak where my information was actually used? I have a feeling it’s more.

It’s a nice hobby and I’m sorry I ruffled feathers with my opinion.

You should live the life you imagine you’re protecting with all this security theater.

There’s a technical reason they do this that has been pointed out elsewhere but it has the added benefit of filtering out people who believe they are above the process. Most jobs have processes (safety processes, legal processes, etc.). You can avoid people who aren’t ready to accept they may be exceptional, but are applying for a position that does not require them to be.

Ooh, or behind the scenes email drama from staff!

If you purchased them from the federal government they won’t have hard drives.

This is great, but I’ve increased output by replacing the windows user with a tech-illiterate person showing a screenshot of Ubuntu saying “I’m so glad my grandson switched me to Linux”.

Slavery is allowed if you’re in prison, so that takes care of the work part.

Coding is kind of like being a wizard. Like, y’all put a bunch of nonsense in just precisely the right order and then some electrictrified minerals bounce around and then a sandwich shows up at my door.

If the process was almost any amount sexier we would absolutely not let half the people running tech startups near it for -gestures broadly- obvious reasons.

Don’t worry babe, I’m gonna start my big project just as soon as I get my computer set up exactly, perfectly, precisely the way I want it. I need to reach out to others to accomplish this. Once I have the perfect Linux experience I will be able to start my big project and then you will see my true value.

I tried buying a used thinkpad and putting Linux on it, but then it stopped charging correctly after 2 weeks. So I went back on adhd meds and got a new job and turned my life around.

What if they said “US is Most Drilled Location for Oil for 6th Consecutive Year”. Would that be more honest? The US isn’t gaining from the oil being drilled, the corporations that identify as US corporations are sucking up all that profit and being subsidized to do it.

I will do whatever it takes to make my daughter happy and if that’s wrong I don’t want to be right.

If that means being an army dude, paint my face. If that means being a princess at a tea party, paint my nails.

Whatever she decides she wants to be, I want to be there cheering her on. If you take that attitude and try to extend it to everyone you meet you make a better world.

They’re in cahoots with HD vision.
