ok so maybe I ordered machine care fluid for my dryer (and an additional rubber plug I lost) just to realise that the description in the app is slightly misleading and you don't even need it for normal use 😭

Secure Boot with Arch Linux is so annoying when you don't have access to the firmware setup utility 😭 (otherwise also, but ESPECIALLY in this case)

beside 'inside' and 'outside' i believe we need to coin another term 'betweenside' which refers to standing exactly in the doorway

does anyone else have the issue where if you try to set up a passkey for the paypal app the sms code is always rejected and then it insists on a photo id?

I'm not sure if it's just broken or this is a weird way to get my data 🙁

when i first started writing Rust, i thought i'd be building well-oiled performant libraries that run like with the intricacies of a Swiss watch.

what i end up making is a loud, clunky, diesel-powered monstrosity that's in some desperate need of WD40

but boy does it run well

microsoft teams is actually good because if you're late for a meeting you can just say "sorry, i was trying to join but the teams app made me log in 3 times then just showed a loading icon for 5 minutes" and no one can really question it

sooo about this company culture... would you describe it more as co-op or pvp?

(just to be clear this really isn't in reference to anything - I just like the notion and tbh sometimes it is a good question to ask yourself)
