I had that after my Lasik for about three months. That said, it was twenty one years ago, and I needed lenses so thick they couldn’t do glass, and I now may need reading glasses because of age and a totally unrelated retina issue. Been 20/20 for twenty years.

I saw three different neurologists! I had a spinal tap done too, and a bunch of tests involving a VR headset. My neurologist was not great. Basically assessed that I wasn’t having a stroke and then lost interest.

Oh yeah, I tried that too! That was actually one of the first ones they gave me.

I had a 26-month long migraine… What med? I tried four different triptans, indomethacin, gabapentin, qulipta, Botox… (So much Botox!)

Beat me to the punch!

Can I recommend pocketknife? There’s a guy who writes hilarious reviews of knives. Only about one a week, but weird knife Wednesday is almost as high on my list of fun stuff as Taco Tuesday!

Oh, you’ve met my sister!

Spacey ruined so much…

We don’t. Burritos exist.

I use Cantook on my phone and skip the account setup. I convert Kobo books and other ebooks using Calibre to Epub. I like Cantook because there’s a setting to use the volume buttons to turn pages.

Well, I think you should’ve splurged for a slightly better keyboard…

My local library has career coaches. They go over results, do mock interviews, but the career coach at my library? He’s a straight up headhunter, and he gets the best walk-ins referred to HR at companies that fit. I had a buddy who was four months unemployed, suggested he talk to the career coach, and dude got him a job in less than two weeks. Also, maybe look at non-profits in your area, might have volunteer or low-paid psych jobs that can get a foot in the door.

Audio! I went from stereo to 7.1 and got this intense loud buzz that wouldn’t go away! (Fedora KDE). Drove me nuts. Spent hours trying every dang thing. Finally connected it to a Windows machine. Same buzz. My woofer had just ate itself. Nothing to do with Linux at all.

No, it’s end-user panic. “That report me and Bob were working on? It’s gone! Emergency! Panic!”

sigh I know. It’s my boss that implemented the policy… But it was after she audited password ages and a dictionary and found that CompanyName123 was universal and for years at a stretch.

Admin here! OneDrive synced home folders at work. Everyone ignores saving because ‘autosave’. Once a week at least, some staff member spends hours on something after the mandatory 90-day password change, never signed back in to OneDrive, and gets to kiss all that work goodbye. Also, once a quarter at least, someone was working on a document shared to the by an employee who just quit, so we have to frantically ‘unfire’ someone’s account so the suddenly missing document can be retrieved.

I’m starting to see this amongst my techie friends: invite only enclaves. Like, using matrix or signal chats that are only by invite; Jellyfin servers for streaming, again, among friends. Group cloud services like nextcloud, mail servers cut off from email at large… Internet-like services, but for small groups.
