How does it make you feel when I say the word… “moist”? Moist. Moiiiiiisssttt

Why would we? lol, we wouldn’t. But when management says “Help Delores with her app problem”, what are you gonna do?

No/Low-Code: Letting people who don’t know what they’re doing half-ass things poorly without understanding the first thing about it and leaving them completely incapable of fixing it when something goes wrong and then pissing off actual developers when they have to go into the Playskool interface to fix it.

Is this picture…what? AI generated? Not that I’m aware of. I just searched for a stock photo of an old lady knitting and this was one of the results. Just grabbed it and added the text.

Maybe this is an old millennial problem, but I’ve had the same cell phone number for over 20 years. The number would actively link me to whatever. But that doesn’t really bother me too much.

What does bother me is that I get enough spam calls as it is. If you don’t carefully read the ToS/EULA/privacy policy when giving them your number for “verification”, you may be giving them permission for marketing calls or to have your number shared with their affiliates.

Paracord. You can weave it into just about anything. Can probably also weave a water filter.

This is the way lol.

That’s basically what EFI booting does.

Initramfs’s main purpose is to load enough of a system to be able to load/boot the kernel and everything else from the hard disk. It’s also used for more complex boot scenarios such as loading LUKS and providing a password prompt if the root partition is encrypted.

I don’t live near the border, but one difference I notice when crossing over is the roads are always better. Doesn’t matter which state I cross over into; roads a better (ours are shit).

Very good. I’ve seen too many random Google Forms going around just harvesting emails / info to plug my details into any that I don’t click into from a legit/verified site. Not that I’m accusing OP of that, just that I don’t know where they got that form link.

Is that an official Google form and/or who am I providing my (required) email address to?

Is there an official Google page that links to this? Sorry but anyone can share a Google form.

and didn’t even answer their question

TBF, that’s like half the email replies I get when I ask a basic question.

If a coworker doesn’t bother to write the email, I’m not going to bother reading it lol.

It is managed, but I can disable smart features and remove it as an app. But it still pops up constantly (basically like an ad). If you try to do anything from the pop-up, it tells you it needs to be enabled to work. So, it knows it’s disabled but still shoves itself in my face as if I accidentally clicked into 4 different deep settings pages to disable it lol.

I can and do use FF, but I use Chrome for Workspace because … stupid company policy reasons. It works in FF, but the way they have SSO configured, you get logged out every 45 minutes.

Google Workspace (what the company I work for uses for collaboration).

1. I don’t want Gemini/AI. At all.
2. If you disable it, it still pops up constantly.

I know, right? Ballmer was batshit crazy but at least you could squint your eyes and his decisions kind-of made sense (e.g. Windows 8 was a turd, but you could at least see what he was trying to do). Nadella has just shoved in cloud and now AI bullshit since he took over, and no thanks.

Help is on the way. An ambulance will be at your location shortly.

I’ve said that, and meant it, but it was when Teams first came out. At the time, it was just a bare-bones Slack clone with the alternative being the godawful Skype for Business. lol.

All they had to do was just stop making it worse from there.

I never got around to to it, but I did want to add Andrew Ryan quotes over scenes of Quark and see if anyone noticed.
