I aspire to be like you! I finally am going to have a DVD player and I am absolutely THRILLED. No joke. It’s going to be fantastic.
Not as fantastic as an old VCR since it’s like 2% harder to fast forward through the ads. But pretty close!
I miss the encyclopedia I had growing up. It was huge - like 5 inches thick. It knew everything and never let me down. And there were no ads or cookie banners to click out of.
Did mine a few weeks ago. The only part I’m stuck on is OneDrive, which I unfortunately need. I got access to my personal files but not the shared files. The other part is I still need to download all of my mods…which I am not looking forward to 😆 but let me just say it is so nice to have a computer that actually works! It’s older so it was getting impossibly slow.
Between Linux and the new IRS software I am feeling spoiled.
Well if you don’t test for it then you won’t have it. So there’s no need to cover any treatment because it will no longer exist whenever Trump is king president
Yep.
At my first job I was in charge of implementing new software (definitely not in my job description - I was basically a secretary). I was discussing security concerns with the head honchos and they interrupted me and dismissed my concerns because they “only hire honest people.”
They gave everyone admin permissions.
Yeah, if you mean laps etc it’ll be when I can move up to more intense stuff. Right now I can basically sit and float around.
Right now the exercises I do feel like I’m doing nothing (until later, then I’m exhausted for days). It’s frustrating because before all of this happened I was doing a lot of incline and strength training, which I can’t do anymore. The exercises I’m able to do now basically amount to a few flutter-like moves and some shoulder work. Even that was too much this week so going to have to tell my trainer we have to pull back even further.
Unfortunately many of those “exercise people” this tweet is referring to do not take any disabilities into consideration. I can’t tell you how many people have told me to just “go for a walk” when my disabilities require me to do specific exercises from a horizontal position. At some point I might be able to do slightly more intense recumbent stuff (very slow, low resistance cycling) but walking/running will unfortunately never be something that helps me. And don’t get me started on the HIIT fad. I would die lol (not joking though)
Read this comment before the article and thought it surely wouldn’t be as obvious as you’re stating.
Spoiler: with Chicago, it’s usually more obvious.
One day I will finally untangle my sense of obligation to give bigots the benefit of the doubt. Can’t wait but it’s a lot of work and self reflection.
Most of it is diverted to Europe though - loads of people there order their water with gas
Put it on a VHS, then use one of those VCRs that removes the ads for you.
Got on my laptop today and Microsoft had installed (or reinstalled?) Copilot. I was going to wait til the weekend, but that really motivated me to just do it tonight. Of course Microsoft’s backup is not working properly so I have to backup everything folder by folder. Which is annoying. But Microsoft sure knows how to get me to get things done! Thinking of sending them a thank you card.
Please no
Sweet. Thanks! Hopefully I won’t have to do too many reinstallations lol
Sweet! I appreciate it. Going to try the demo and if I’m feeling confident enough with it I’m just gonna get rid of Windows all together.
Whattt. That is absolutely wild. Well now I have to learn more.
Can’t thank them enough, honestly. The only thing holding me back is my fear of messing it up when I try to dual boot. I think I’m just hoping I will figure out a good alternative to the exactly one type of software that I need so I don’t have to deal with that. I mean really, it’s literally just a PDF editor so I know there’s an alternative. It just makes me anxious.
Edit: also, it wouldn’t let me select the language of my comment. It said this community doesn’t allow posts in English. Is that something I messed up or do some communities just not allow it to be specified?
Edit 2: finally finishing up the install now! A few minor hiccups but it was all user error.
I am tempted to research it but I don’t want to be on another list
That’s horrible :( I hope we are too
If they even would have charged him. They took my abuser to dinner instead.
Absolutely!
