#Denver server admin clinging to life after COVID, trying to beat AI to making the penultimate novel about our times. Looking to stop doing piecemeal consulting work in IT infrastructure and go W2 again.

#ROGAlly is my daily driver, #SteamDeck is also damn good but I just can't do 800p.

Booting Microsoft completely due to #AI bullshit moves.

#fedora, buddy, why do I download a 4gb iso for install then have to do 4gb of updates on first boot?

There's gotta be a more efficient way to do this.

It looks like the only real option for a fully functional DEX (and other things) dock is a Lenovo Tab Extreme eh?

Well, I'm gonna find out!

I hear it has actual video in so it can be a travel monitor, passes the keyboard/trackpad and touchscreen properly to the USBC input too.

I tried the Dopesplay things but the pixel density sux.

I may sell my Tab s6 LTE and Zeph G14 and move all of my travel work to the ROG Ally.

Less stuff, same or better functionality...

After a month delay and a unilateral conversion from "purchase" to "prepurchase" in the initial transaction and a second copy paste of the initial purchase invoice when I asked "when will they ship" rather than an actual answer. I've told #shenzhenaudio to give me a full refund on my Moondrop Dusk #iem.

Maybe I'll get a MIAD01 as a backup phone.

Naw, I'm done dealing with these guys. They have no idea how to interact with customers.

OK #dominoes, time for free pizza number 5 on this chain of "free pizza because we fucked up last time" pizzas.

Will you finally get it right for once?

Well, I guess I'll have to upgrade the whole if I want the newest kubernetes to work.

Needs to be done anyway.

All aboard the struggle bus, we're going up that hill!

@WagesOf@gamepad.club avatar

So, uh #linux people, can you tell me what in the blue fuck happened to the installer on #fedora?

WagesOf, to tech
@WagesOf@gamepad.club avatar

No, I don't need to install Linux just to spite Microsoft doing unauthorized installs of copilot on all of their server products before my meeting.

What if it doesn't go well and it takes me more than 4 hours to sort it out?

is gonna get spicy in .

Anyone else notice that #reddit is 80% people asking questions that Google could find in ten seconds before the SEO spam apocalypse these days?

It feels dirty but #today I'm thinking of trying edge to replace Firefox since Firefox refuses to cleanly rotate on a tablet screen.

I need ublock, a torrent link extension, bypasspaywalls and a password manager.

So far all of that's available.

Still, the stink of internet exploder permeates it's children.

Each state and the federal gov should have their own activitypub instance.

Biden joining threads is not potus joining mastodon. It's potus supporting a corporate spike jamming open the door for embrace extend extinguish.

It's going to be next to impossible for a mastodon community of any size to not expose their users to the flood of shit from threads just to support this one press release bot.

It should be @potus threads should be federating with that, not Biden forcing us to threads🤦

Hey microsoft, instead of calling Windows Subsystem for a failure because nobody wants to use the Amazon app store give us a chance for official Google Play Store support?

I just installed the magisk hack version that makes it actually useful and I'm going to cry when you take that away next year.

@WagesOf@gamepad.club avatar

Oh noes! YouTube is blocking my player for blocking ads!

taps on revanced manager

Better!

I'll start paying for #YouTube when they give me enough control over discoverability to stop half my feed from being videos I've already watched and the other half being videos I've already clicked "not interested" twenty times.

So you're starting a new series and it has a prequel. Is it assumed that the prequel should be read after the first couple of books, or do you go for it first?

No forks, only chopsticks for a week.

I hope I don't starve.

It's so hilarious to me that the second worst #startrek theme song is from #Enterprise S1.

Then they somehow made it worse and clinched the top spot when the "punched it up" and got number one worst too! 🤣

#today I'm eating a bunch of greek olives. I've been looking for a place to get olives that haven't been abused by removing the pits and I finally found them!

If you've lived your whole life only eating pitted olives you wouldn't understand how much damage the machine does to them and the flavor.
