You learn plenty by breaking and reinstalling. I don't considering it an invalid option for a home user. I had to reinstall MacOS7/8 and Windows 95/98 so many times as a kid. Learned a lot doing it, sysadmin now 🤷‍♂️

Based off the Ubuntu 24.04 release, which already seems half broken, it's perfect.

I'm almost sure the site has already been scrapped of current contest for the LLM.

"South Carolina, USA"... well that's sadly makes sense. I need to convince my boss to let me be full time remote so I can leave.

I have been running a vertical task bar since Windows XP and have been on KDE as well(like now). The fact it's not an option for Windows 11(my work laptop) drives me insane.

So many wasted pixels. :/

ProgrammersAreHumanToo, great stuff.

Then there's Google's habit of completely ignoring the browser's language settings so I have to sit though ads I don't even understand

I used to occasionally watch YouTube on my lunch break when I would go into the office. I loved getting ads in Spanish, the office was in Greenville,SC not a large Spanish native population. I have premium on my account but don't like signing in personal account on work machines.

The only times I've seen that is if I'm trying to browse while on a VPN(mullvad in my case). And more often than not it's because it came up in a search.

I had an enterprise fiber side that I just bailed on and quit the place without notice(or another job lined up). It was genuinely soul crushing andi don't regret my decision. Granted 3 years later I make more than double the pay with less headache.

Yep, they didn't want people that think too much. They want drones to read off scripts and fake empathy when theit service is out(again). It wasn't as bad in CCST(complex coax support team), since my interactions were very rarely with end users(VARS, large national businesses and other carriers). But they got rid of that department and have the REP1(new people) handle that service and put us back on front line phone support. None of the CCST customers were happy about the degraded service from unknowledgeable and untrained support staff. I had an interview to move over to Enterprise Fiber, but skipped that and just completely quit without notice.

The place is structured to make sure nothing ever gets past the status quo. I had multiple engineering tickets closed out for probable network routing issues(on our end) because no one wanted to look into it. If you have any more than signal issues and something a modem reboot won't fix...good luck getting a problem actually addressed.

Unfortunately mostly true. I worked for Charter Business, and was told I was "being too helpful". They only want people who read off the script. I moved over to the CCST group before they killed that off. I'm so happy to be away from there, that place was soul sucking.
