Eggs are only good boiled, not fried or scrambled, I will die on that hill

Sedation is the best part of a colonoscopy imo, I love the feeling when the stuff hits, it’s the prep that sucks

Yeah but why phone calls? Slack or some equivalent is just superior in every way.

People in the comments claiming it’s social anxiety but I have no problem talking to people face to face or in an internet-based voice or video call. But phone calls are just ass. The audio quality sucks, I barely understand what the other person says and I don’t get to choose when and where it happens, might be one or both people are in some noisy situation etc and it’s just all around so awkward. I also think it’s kinda rude. A message is “Hey I want to exchange X information, reply whenever you want”, a call is “YOU WILL PAY ATTENTION TO ME RIGHT NOW”. It’s also incredibly annoying when some official place insists on phone calls only. Fucking brilliant, now I have to take half an hour of my day queueing and/or calling repeatedly to get done what I would have typed out in half a minute as an email. It’s even worse if it’s them who call you. “You will get a call from us in the next 3 days”. Now I have to be on fucking high alert to be available at that exact time or the back and forth missed calls start. Instead of just receiving an email and replying whenever.

Edit: not to even mention that text is permanent and can be referenced later while calls are not

Also Luke Smith hasn’t uploaded in years now

Which he needs all the time and people are giving it to him. I’m so fucking done with seeing his face several times a day, maybe I should be touching grass instead

Obviously work has to be done, but if the 1% wasn’t hoarding all the value we’re creating, we’d be able to work less AND be better off. How is it that in an era of technology and automation, we still have to work 40 hour weeks if not more, yet a large percentage of the population can barely afford the basics? Some will always be wealthier than others of course, but no person needs billions of dollars, especially not while others are starving.

That’s what I’m thinking too but then remember my first corporate job where the application depended on an exact subversion of Java 8, no earlier and no later. This was in 2021. Knowing that company I’d bet they’re still rocking the same setup.

The funniest thing is it doesn’t even have to be this way with Windows. I’ve unfortunately had to go back to dual booting lately but I’m using Win 10 LTSC and I have to say I’m surprised how tolerable it is. I’d still rather not use it but eeh it’s fine.

What about Steam? Linux gaming would be a whole lot worse off without Proton

Hm this sounds very interesting, it would be pretty convenient, I’ll look into it

NTFS does not count

Aren’t NTFS and exFAT pretty much the only option?

Fair point, xkcd was right https://xkcd.com/2347/

Does it not? I’ve seen posts about grub being borked after Windows updates, or was that only on legacy BIOS systems?

I exhausted the WINE route, some games I want to play don’t work with Proton no matter how much you tweak (the first time I’m running into this in a few years) as well as some additional software. There’s also a driver I need to run that’s technically available on Linux but it’s a reverse engineered solution developed by one guy so who knows if it’s gonna keep working.

I should have, gonna edit the post

Will it maybe work if I just unplug my Linux drive during the Win install?

Good thinking, I’ll definitely look into that. One caveat is I’m going to need a driver that’s also Win-only so I’ll have to see if that works in a VM.

I wish there was a single day that this fucker wasn’t in my feed, he thrives on attention and people are giving it to him
