I owe much of my career to trying to set up Linux From Scratch two decades ago. While it’s a much better experience installing Linux nowadays, there’s a lot to be said for the experience spending your weekend debugging a system will give you.

“Miracle Workers” hasn’t been mentioned yet, it has a similar vibe, romantic comedy, some mild philosophy, very upbeat. Each season is a different storyline with (almost) the same cast, so if the first season doesn’t grab you try the next. The creator had an earlier show “Man Seeking Woman” as well, that’s fun too.

They moved Ctrl-Alt-Backspace behind a config iirc - too easy to hit by accident.

They do make colour laser printers - but in the past 5 years, I’ve needed to print in colour maybe 3 times, and I just took it to the copy shop where it’d be better quality than I can do at home anyway.

Almost all the printing I do is either stuff to sign like contracts or boarding passes / tickets, and those are moving digital more and more.

I could very well have been that developer. Usual story, sales promised the world, that our vmware-based system would run on anything and everything, and of course it’s all HA and load balanced, smash cut to me on Monday morning trying to figure out how to make it do that before it goes live on Wednesday.

They moved to a system where it would just auto-sale you the title if you kept it too long after the due date, which people were furious about when they showed up with a title that was due back a month ago. Netflix really ate their lunch though, Blockbuster online was too little too late.

Having worked network support, the number of times I’ve been on a screen share with someone who opens an excel sheet from the share drive that holds all the root passwords for every network device they own is high. A bad actor could take down some very large companies with some simple social engineering skills.

Meta’s Twitter clone. The smart thing they did was convert over Instagram accounts, so there’s a ton of semi-famous people on already. It’s got a ton of attention in the past two days, just for being Twitter sans Elon.

I was also there since 2008, and was a heavy user. I’ve checked in a few times in the past month (a lot of my more niche communities haven’t moved over yet), but I don’t comment or interact anymore. Once Relay dies it’s off my phone (it’s already lost the homescreen shortcut), and if old.reddit dies I’m done forever.
