Me, looking at my Jellyfin server…

Oh. Ok.

Only do work on work devices. This is a quick way to lose a job. Always assume the company sees everything that's happening on their device. No way around it, and any attempt to get around it will raise the alarm. Just do the music/podcasts/etc... on another device. Why "need to be able to run it on their work PC"?

Video games have gone this way too. Pop in disc or cartridge, go to play, forced to download updates that fix what was shipped in a broken state.

A couple things in the way you explained yourself lead me to believe you might benefit from improving your soft skills. Not everything in a job is specifically technical. If you work with people, you have to learn how to work with people. You don't have to enjoy it, but it makes things easier.

Yeah, I tried dual booting for a very short time ~20 years ago (oh man...) Every time Windows would obliterate my grub config/mbr and I'd have to dig up instructions to reconfigure grub from live cd. Never again.

"I already know X. I'm brilliant, so if I don't currently know Y, it's not worth knowing. I will ignore the 30 years it took me to get to where I am knowing X."

Which fallacies cover this? I suppose we can start with Dunning-Kruger?

3rd Rock from the Sun? Been a while since I rewatched that, though. Kinda not "friends" but "co-workers".

MORE. DATA.

They're social engineering the 'normies'.

I owe my soul to the company store.

No lube, just dry, torque to spec. Don't know where you got the idea to lube them, that's super dangerous.

This entire post is the frog sitting in their comfortable pot of water saying “This is fine, nothing to worry about!”

This is what bugs me every time I see LTT Linus talking about Linux. He spent decades learning Windows. He immersed himself in it. Now he's older and doesn't realize the small amount of researching and "RTFM" for Linux is nothing compared to the energy he spent learning Windows stuff.

On the positive side - seeing stuff like this in others has helped me realize when I start exhibiting the same negative thoughts and behaviors.

Futurama for me originally, then Rick and Morty for a while until they released the episode where a character says "Hey Siri Call 911" and after being woken up to my device confirming a call to emergency services I had to switch back to Futurama.

Because basically the only difference between a [$$$] consumer GPU and a [$$$$$] workstation/server GPU are software and a few extra memory chips (little bit hyperbole). If businesses could have been buying [$$$] GPUs and doing the same things they need to do on [$$$$$] GPUs (e.g. GPU Partitioning), Nvidia wouldn't be where they are right now.

Today.

Ah, one of those names is familiar. I never paid much attention to instances, only focusing on communities. Until I helpfully reported an obviously misinformation filled post to community on lemmy.ml. An admin copied the contents of the report into a message in that post, making fun of me. Then banned me from all lemmy.ml communities I was subscribed to (for "abusing the report system"). I've since blocked lemmy.ml and am on the lookout for the other similar instances to block, and/or yet another alternative to Reddit/Lemmy.

I want candy - bubble-gum or taffy!

I installed the Gnome version of Bazzite on my full desktop PC. Rebased to KDE after a few months and a few months later rebased back to Gnome. No issues I've found, though I haven't dug into any DE specific configs in home.
