I had to jump onto a win 10 machine for a couple of weeks. Came back to my new gaming rig and I have to say... I HATE windows 11. The right click menu sucks, the task bar is shit even if it is aligned to the correct location. Actually looking back, I think the last windows I liked was 7.

When I use 11 I feel like I'm using my left hand. That's the best way I can explain it.
I'm a leftie and offended.
Believe it or not I can't use a mouse with my left hand.
I am ambi with a mouse after retraining myself from RSI. I get really shat at computer training rooms that have everything tied down to the right.
YES!!!! That's exactly it isn't it! I just aligned the start to the left of the screen and my brain is just throwing co-ordination errors.

Our fire extinguishers got replaced yesterday and the dude who replaced them replaced them with longer and thinner ones. The extinguisher in the kitchen lives just above and next to the kitchen drawers. Any guesses why this is a problem?

Can you move the mount up a bit? Can you get the agent to move the mount up a bit? Can you leave the extinguisher on the floor because if there's a decent fire, get down low and gogogo, will lead you to find the extinguisher on the way out.
Stop being logical. I'm just here to dog on tradespeople with the IQ of a misshapen door knob.

there is no spoon
No spoon for you!
A fire extinguisher in the kitchen! Fancy plus!!!
ha just wait til you hear the smoke alarms and see the evacuation lights. I genbuinely can not communicate how loud the smoke alarms are. The best way I can describe them is that they're so loud you can hear the air. Like on top of the high pitched squealey beeping they are so loud they cause the air inside to rumble. I'm surprised they don't shatter a window

Coming into the last two months of this project. Watching the "go-live" dates of different components getting nudged back and back. Six months ago, we were going to be in Production for everything by May 31 and have June for documentation etc.
We're now at the point where the last Prod deployment is June 21, and we get the last week of June for documentation. I half expect the go-live to be June 27, with one day for documentation at this point. Either that, or I'm going to be working the weekend of June 29/30.
Something about the whooshing sound of deadlines rushing by.

I feel like the internet is getting worse for users
You've heard the term enshittification?
Oh yeah. It's turned up to a gallop though
@melbaboutown @dumblederp Yeah, it's not just you.
And it's deliberate.
This article by Ed Ziltron has a really good rundown of what happened inside Google: https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/
Basically, in February 2019, there was a some corporate politicking going on within Google.
The search/tech experts (some who had been there from the start) wanted to improve search results.
The finance guys wanted to deliberately make search results worse so people would search more often and there would be more money from ads.
The finance guys won.
They replaced the head of the search team (who had been there from the very start) with the guy who had been in charge of the search engine at Yahoo at the time Yahoo stopped having its own search engine.
If by "search more often" they mean searching the same thing on multiple different search engines trying to find better results I guess it worked 🤷♂️
I barely even bother with google anymore
I just go straight to wikipedia and if want further reading i look up the references on the wikipedia page ( I do pay for wikipedia , not much but something )
and yes, i search reddit quite a bit

I particularly notice it on google searches. So cluttered with ads and promotional listings. It used to be that the most useful answer was in the top 3 results. Now you’re lucky if it’s on page 2.
Google search is dead. The alternatives aren't much better but I barely use it anymore. Or if I do, I have to put the word "Reddit" in the query to get a decent answer.

I made my parents jealous with my weekend up on the border last weekend so they've taken off for there and I'm dog/housesitting for the weekend. I just rocked up with $9.95 for 24 nuggies to split with the doggo. Happy doggo.
Got an interview next week! Looks promising!
Also, I'm playing this game called "Cult of the Lamb" and I have to say, it's adorable, addictive and a hell of a lot of fun. That's my evening sorted.
Enjoy your night everyone :)

Cracker Barrel cheddar is a very delicious cheese and as good as some of the fancier cheddars.
I love Cracker barrel. Also Mersey Valley classic cheese. Nice and crumbly.

I admit defeat. My head congestion is slowly clearing but I can't hold a thought in my head. Coffee helped for about 6 mins. I am going back to sleep
So, I'm coming out the other end of this sick, my lymph nodes don't hurt as much, and I feel a bit more clear headed. Helps that the cat let us sleep last night lol.
A few days ago, when it was bad and quite painful and I was having a weird lightness in my chest and kinda heart palpitations (the night I passed out), my partner kinda rolled his eyes and was a tad dismissive.
Well, guess who's in the throes of it now and just called to apologise profusely and unreservedly?
I just said "as an afab, it's par for the course to be disbelieved, but apology accepted haha." We laughed and it's fine, but man, I don't complain for attention, I'm just telling him my symptoms in case I need to be taken to the hospital and am incapable of advising the professionals of lead up symptoms.
I love him, but he is such a man sometimes lol
No drinky-poos tonight. Got places to be tomorrow. For those of you who are, cheers anyway🧃 Back to regular programming next week.
Cheers!

It’s Friday and I am very, very ready for the work day to be over. 7 minutes away from being half way through…
Nothing I have to do this weekend, except dinner with my sister tomorrow night. After over a month of moving, cleaning and just life in general, this feels WEIRD. I can’t wait!
We spread mustard. We spread mayo. Why aren’t they in the “ spread” section?
