Probably not my best thought being “oh, I hope my students protest so I can get a day off when the school closes down”.

I can’t wait for summer… I’m tired.

Isn’t it, haha. And yet I know a place that outsources it to slavic countries to save cash. I guess they’re tech savvy, but as contract workers it’s hard to say their dedicated to their craft.

QA in large companies seems to be first to get outsourced or at best, contacted into temp positions. First to get mixed, too. It’s the “skill-less labor” of the tech world.

In other words, blame the idiots in charge for not really investing in QA lol

Jokes on all y’all, I read the autotldr and I totally agree extra terrestrial aliens are taking out blood to bathe in.

Me too. Alllll the way to the bottom of Lemmy we go …

Reminds me of my sister getting in trouble for saying she had to go at 4:20. It was deemed “unprofessional”. She has a appointment, lol

Not sure they keep that in stock around here but given the scissor method, it’s really a non issue. I do that with adding bacon to Mac and Cheese too, along with a frozen veg (like green beans) for minimal effort and cleaning. If anyone ever gives me trouble I tell them it’s the Korean BBQ way.

I knew if I said carbonara people wouldn’t believe me but it’s true. Bonus points if you chop the bacon with scissors instead of using a cutting board. It’s very very easy and people think it’s magic because you’re “making your own sauce”. It’s as easy as any of the other one ingredient pasta suggestions, and only slightly harder than the instant ramen suggestions.

Keep on bacon’on.

Around my, most everyone uses the same old bags for groceries (Trader Joe’s ones in particular) but I imagine this idea would be best for the big box stores. Their clientele not only seem to care less about the environment, but they also stand to benefit more from giant reusable store bags. Plus plenty do store membership requirements (like Costco) and verifying membership by the bags you carry would be easier than a card, haha.

Reminds me of when I went to a baby shower for an incoming baby girl and the decorations were still up from a baby shower for an ungendered baby that were significantly more flashy. Luckily beigh and pink worked, but I bet they’d have rolled with it either way since more balloons is more balloons.

Plus knowing my grandparents, they’d love to pretend they’re 60, haha.

Literally me today with a small soap container, but it was a trifecta: the lid separated from a plastic seal under it as with the picture, with the tiniest of rim you can barely get with your fingernails to pry it off to begin with, and a seal so strong you can’t just puncture it with you fingers.

As with another suggestion I just used thermite.

If only we had Windows Hard Mode for real. Let’s you break your system as intended. Delete system files, no notifications, nothing.

Too bad not available in this universe.

The duels last until a Windows update decides a scorched earth tactic wins the day. Destroy the boot and you destroy your opponent.

Windows plays dirty, it’s never kernel-on-kernel. Once it removed my wifi access in Linux out of spite. Gouge out the eyes and earn easy victory, but for as long as there remains the flash drive there is no true death amongst OSs.

Oh, I duel boot. Unless you mean going back to Windows 98, I did that in a VM once to play old shareware games.

I’m also annoyed by it. I get why it exists, as I’ve met people with zero clue about drive space, but Windows really shouldn’t permanently attach training wheels to the bike.

I’d love a Windows hard mode button, but I guess that’s just Linux now. If only work didn’t need me to have Windows.

People are doubtful, but I read a post on Gamefaqs from like, 25 years ago and they went through plenty of enshittification. I look forward to sharing the ancient texts with my great grandkids on how to get the best sword in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Oh, who told you the 2024 campaign slogan?

To be fair, usually this crap is made by the university equivalent of HR folks. They aren’t the academics you’d be learning from (although, they will also typo because grammar and subject mastery are not the same thing unless you’re studying grammar!)

The part of your story where you had to eventually switch to Chrome got me, because that’s me every fucking time. These monsterous companies aren’t just using captcha wrong (or right if they’re evil), they’re also all-in on chromium supremacy because why support more than one standard? And here I am, forty captcha deep wondering if I’m about to pop a god damned hidden achievement for persistence in an impossible task.
