Woke up with my stomach in knots, figured I ate something bad the previous day. Texted my work group chat and let them know that I would be useless if I showed up, and explained that I think I ate something bad for dinner. They said something along the lines of “no worries, but you’re still gonna have to come in to at least grab the paperwork for staying home for a day.” Annoyed, I got a ride to work and went to go do the formalities and explained that my boss had already given me the go ahead to stay home, I just needed the paperwork. First guy I talked to had no issue just writing it up and sending me on my way, but when he stepped away for a second I got asked some questions by one of his coworkers who told me “we have to give you a check up first to determine if you actually have to stay home.” She checked my stomach for pain and listened to it make some noises, then decided I was just constipated and gave me something to drink to help. First guy still wrote the paperwork up for me, and I got to go home, stomach in even worse situation and I spent nearly 2 hours on the toilet before I felt safe enough to go lay down and slept the rest of the day away.

(And yes I’m well aware that it’s atypical to get a checkup by your workplace, this was a weird and terrible place to work. Glad I got outta there.)

Is there a video of this somewhere? It sounds amusing

Potato masher

Hyprland is not a DE

I like to pick based off the name of the command I use to evoke the package manager. Currently, I’m enjoying using yay but I’ve been thinking about emerge quite a bit

Edited for pedantic specificity

Man if only there was an option like --sudoloop to ensure that doesn’t happen

Honestly, it seems like you probably shouldn’t be wasting your time with this woman.

Man you were giving great advice until you suddenly decided that people in the porn industry are incapable of love and only use sex as a weapon. Sex workers are human beings.

No extra steps

So you don’t download your GPU drivers? That’s more steps than adding a launch option

Not quite “just works” but I’d be willing to bet that your computer defaulted to the iGPU instead of your dGPU because you didn’t specify as such in your launch options

Dayta - it comes from the Latin word Datum which is pronounced day tum. At least that’s what my middle school science teacher would tell us

Superman knew what ass he was grabbing

Unless you care about their use of Denuvo

[…] mouse following cat

I think I saw something recently about the cursor getting some tweaks in Wayland, I think KDE was working on it? Not sure if it’ll help this kind of stuff but they’re trying to standardize the cursor a bit better

Yeah, the mod key is my best friend with Sway, I literally can’t avoid using it

TIL there’s a name for this. This has been one of my bits for years

See I glossed over that because that’s an entirely nonsensical issue. Do you measure the speed of your vehicle based off how much distance you cover per second or per hour? And then there’s the fact that it’s a math problem, written at roughly a middle school level - half the problem is figuring out how long it takes them to get up to the desired speed and if they did that in a person hour scale it would leave almost no math for the student to do

I mean that’s just how acceleration works. Speed is distance over time, acceleration is change in speed over time, hence distance over time (speed) over time

Using this low of a contrast (dark red on dark background) is criminal. Maybe my eyes are just that bad but good lord those notes are hard to read

Admittedly I haven’t looked into too many rust applications but IME they generally don’t have a deb/rpm/binary or whatever. I’ve always had to cargo them in - it’s a relatively painless process. My understanding is that, in a similar fashion to python, you have to have the same dependencies on the source and target machine and cargo handles that in rusts case
