This. If I pay the cost in frustration and anguish and soul-searching and demanding justice from an uncaring god, I want some thing for it. I want documentation. I want my lessons learned from the post incident review. I want something I can hack into mgmtConfig to make sure nothing else will do that too.
Struggling for no payoff is the absolute worst thing.
worked for several years in higher ed

/Sigh
Same.
Then I went to work for the company whose code Solaris was derived from. Back in time almost!
Comically, now, my C and Solaris experience is a marketable skill for reliable employment, albeit less fun.
Have you tried the lutris/steam options? I’d love to know there are options if people can’t avoid it.
Excellent summary.
It’s amazing how a second or 5 at so many levels causes micro-frustration. And it builds up, too.
I admit I lose just a bit of my shit when the neu web-service web-apps get sluggish, which seems to be very often. Those of us who remember the halcyon days where things were responsive on a pentium know better than to accept the current mess.
My tolerance for the poor performance and saas-linked core services is rapidly waning.
What you get is something with an acceptable warranty and maybe some support.
What you then realize is what you DON’T have on your consumer gear.
How do I even check which version of the Steam runtime I am running? The flatpak version of Steam is just 1.0.something.other.

EWS came with Exchange 2007, almost 20 years ago!
Yay! Now do Windows and Syslog, or windows and SNMP.
So difficult to sync contacts and calendar
If only there was a well-defined protocol in a series of RFCs for that, AND people could use more than one protocol in a binary.
I lean on chatGPT for document work which is neither creative nor valuable: Ansible config. There is no way I want to actually record or generate Ansible configs using my actual brain, lest my memory get permanently polluted by the memory of that dreck.
No. I use chatGPT so I can keep my brain for programming.
Also, configuring CvIPs in a static format despite the CvIP itself wandering. NetworkManager is also absolute shit stapled on the absolute shit that is Systemd, absolutely incapable with no consistent documentation that can be found with the increasingly endhittified search tools, and ideally maybe chatGPT can find a way through after I’ve given up and started looking at goat prices. I love how enterprise software arrives broken and stays broken now, and can’t do what el6 could. Thanks, lennart!
I guess I’m using it for agent-based search and template generation, and shielding my brain from retro tech like Ansible or digging through bad docco may one day be more efficient with LLMs.
never hear a woman use male as a noun like that
I heard ‘male’ the same place I heard ‘female’, and this wasn’t surprising. I’m jealous at your certainty that you haven’t yet and thus never will. Apparently, though, “there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy”
Incel behavior includes using “female” as a noun when talking about women.
Sure: A -> B != B -> A
You … know that, right?
At the idea of customer choice and feedback, no less; like those things are somehow BAD.
I completely trust Systemd to accurately report on itself, the same as I trust American cops to police themselves.
Is this “git gud”, victim blaming, or a mix of both? Ignoring the comma splice.
You’d think if there was a janky bit of gear in there
Neither appear to be the case.
Are you asking us whether you can?
Why not make our alphabet more efficient?
Will the real Noah Webster please stand up?
Language is never complete until it’s extinct.
Language either evolves or it arbitrarily splits. Guess which this one is.
This guy busts ghosts.
