I’m in my forties and what you’re describing doesn’t sound normal at all. I beat myself up good in my younger years with sports and still do somewhat regular cardio and weightlifting. I have a bum knee and hip problem, shoulder issues from weightlifting injuries, and my back gets stiff and sore on a good day.

None of that stops me from functionally living, and none of its anything the occasional ibuprofen or toke won’t fix in the short term. I can still exercise, do physical labor, open all the jars, and be generally active, and without pain the majority of the time.

What you’re describing sounds more like an inflammatory disease or auto-immune disorder. 110% get a second opinion from a different doc, or a third if needed.

Ah thanks. I didn't follow to the release page and just skimmed the article, should have read closer.

Maybe a stupid question but.... what exactly was illegal about this? I'm sure there were ToS or EULAs violated, but what law is he being charged on?

I spend a bunch of time in log reviews in my current role. “Googling the error message” image is literally hanging on my office wall.

Performance improvement plan. Sometimes a legitimate way to help an employee who is slow or failing at tasks to improve and perform better.

More often it’s a management ploy to start a paper trail to legitimize terminating said employee or deny pay raises without repercussions, regardless of actual performance metrics.

DNS is often misconfigured.

On the linux side of things, people like to manually edit /etc/resolv.conf when it's actually a symlink and changes to it don't persist on boot (the real file location varies, but it's usually in something like /etc/system/resolve). And forget bind9, if it's not MS DNS it's not DNS to some folks.

On the Windows side, people love to ignore that reverse DNS exists, even though so many things use it. They also freaking love CNAME aliases and break stuff in interesting ways (for example, a "load balanced" configuration that's all just the first node acting as all three nodes of a cluster or pool).

Many people only know enough DNS to be dangerous and come up with really jank workarounds to get things running because they don't understand the proper solutions.

It’s not the “common cold” which usually refers to bacterial infections.

The illness we consider the "common cold" is actually a collection of common viruses, predominantly rhinovirus. It's not a bacterial infection.

Same. I was very impressed by the games that work despite being unsupported. Heck, I’ve got Rainbow Six: Vegas working on it with gamepad support. I couldn’t even do that in Windows.

Give me more of this and less of the politics. This is what I come to Lemmy for.

Don’t be. I’m fortunate to be able to afford it comfortably, and it’s just part of the cost of living to me. In my 40s now and been wearing glasses since I was 10yo.

I’m just happy I’ll be able to read fine print and see stuff close again without needing to take off my glasses.

I recently went for glasses and eye exam. Near sighted with astigmatism, and now I need bifocals on top of it. Bifocals with line aren’t common now so doctor suggested progressives. I’m fine with that.

I’m also a special kid who can’t wear polycarbonate lenses because I’m hypersensitive to chromatic aberration. So need Trivex lenses as well. Throw in an anti-glare coating and my cost (with insurance) is like $460.

The sad part is given my needs and how few carry Trivex in my area, I consider it a decent deal.

Yeah, but JIF is like… sugar and palm kernel oil garbage. It’s a peanut butter product, not peanut butter.

Peanut butter should have one or two ingredients, max. Peanuts, and maybe salt.
