FauxPseudo

Definitely. At the last corporate job I had I was told at the very beginning of the interview that I was overqualified and that the only reason I was there was because their trainer (a former coworker of mine) said they had to interview me.

I got the job. I was thinking about quitting when they fired me because I didn’t park my car on the property because I was following the rules.

I was thinking about quitting because the place was a total mess. The first clue was during the interview they warned me they didn’t have KPIs at this call center job. When I actually started working I noticed that I had no one person to report to, massive inefficiencies, I could have spent a day or two creating from scratch their much needed IVR and that after three months on the phone not one person I started with had had a review of any kind. I had 20 years of call center experience and 20 years of Linux administration and I was fighting back every urge to rearrange the furniture because this major company was a complete shit show. I was over qualified. I should have never taken the job. They should have never hired me.

I haven’t seen the data on all but the nonstick is trash in a way that shows zero potential for their other stuff. Crap materials, uneven heating, etc. The very worst in almost every category.

We can add Made In pans to this.

I think you meant “Bob”.

I haven’t been back to Reddit since The Exodus. I uninstalled the app. I suffered waiting for Boost to become available for Lemmy.

VII, aka V 2, not 7. Just that naming gives you an idea of how unintuitive everything was.

If I didn’t get 403 errors when trying to post to groups that I’m subscribed to.

That’s going to be app specific. Not sure what apps do that but that’s how it would be

Wood working. Whittling. You can buy very expensive tools or you can go old school and pick up used 100 year old ones for nothing or even make your own. You can buy wood or you can salvage it.

I was at the Del Mar Fair once and got some super green falafel. It was awesome. I’ve spent 30 years chasing that high.

I used to have to force feed myself when I wasn’t hungry. Ramen was essential for priming the appetite. But not the bad stuff. Good stuff like Black Shin

Package management is optional according to Slackware and Linux From Scratch.

A key part you left out is the init scripts. Without those you don’t have the fundamental under the hood flavor of a distribution.

Can you open this 25 year old document? Windows: Why would I want to do that? Linux: Of course!

Except that Wayland isn’t X at all. They have a fundamentally different approach to making things appear on screen.

I paid 91k in 2017. Zillow says my place is worth 209k just six years later. I’m more than prepared for it to tank but it won’t go lower than I paid.

Company started a commission structure promotion for an upsell add-on. Two weeks in they retroactively changed the commission to decrease the payout. Most people didn’t realize this but I did the math and showed every manager I knew that if this wasn’t fixed they would destroy all integrity in any future sales programs and people would start jumping ship. Told them that I would be among the first and that thanks to having half the local office on my Facebook friends list I would have zero issues telling everyone why.

With very little fanfare and no apology they reversed the new policy within three days, record speed for a company that size. One of the managers pulled me aside to let me know they couldn’t say anything previously but I was absolutely right. I told them they were a spinless coward* for not saying anything earlier but I understood the need to protect their paycheck.

After that I mentioned to the people that would have been most impacted that they dodged a bullet and they didn’t know what I was talking about. I explained the change and unchange. They double checked the math and were pissed that they didn’t see the scam earlier. Most of them were gone within a few months because they didn’t trust the company anymore even though the company fixed it.

• this person learned very quickly that I would read the birthday card and toss it in the trash. They started signing them with “you can throw this away now”. They once said they really appreciated that I never once even pretended to not tell the truth.

I’m still not having any luck. Any update?

Can confirm. Same error on two different apps and the lemmy world website.
