Came into work this morning to find someone had scarred my Mac monitor with this symbol of hate

TIFU by deploying not one, but two major releases to production at 5pm on a Friday. I trusted my testers, so one of the applications had a major bug in it. I just worked through a child's surprise party. hope the testers are having a lovely evening with their loved ones.

So I have this dude I work with that I will call Jim. When I take a walk at 3pm I will often see Jim outside on his phone. I have started making "pssst" sound every time I see Jim. Many times I have snuck up on Jim and made the "pssst" sound and scared the crap out of him. He in-kind tries to scare me. He is not very good at it. I realized today I may be creating a Pavlov response in Jim to the "pssst" sound. He always makes the "pssst" sound back at me. He "has" to make the "pssst" sound when I do it. I think in addition he may be getting the conditioned response of being scared to the "pssst" sound.

TLDR; I love scaring the "pssst" out of Jim.

I’m running 1.5km every day for two weeks already. Anxiety still strikes sometimes. Depression is measurably better, but it was getting better months ago when I started taking fluvoxamine, so I can’t attribute this to running alone.

Running will help me in another way though: my mental health will definitely be going through the roof when I look in the mirror and see the beautiful, albeit scarred, slender body I posessed before it all started.

Unconsciously mistyping pussy instead of putty in front of a colleague is still scarred to my bones especially the fact that s and t aren't even next to each other which makes it even more embarrassing

Up until maybe 7th grade (I am now 19 and a first-year in uni) I used Internet Explorer. Even when Firefox was out and about, I still used Internet Explorer. Now, I use chrome and Firefox interchangeably

Just wanted to do some scripted image resizing for school in school because the teacher asked me to help her with that.
So I thought: Let's just write a tiny script. Written the script in almost no time (just iterates over all jpg's and resizes them)

30sec.

Now I tried to run it. Didn't have my laptop so I had to somehow run it on their windows PCs. At least it's windows 10, unlike other schools that still run XP and stuff so I thought it might be doable. Well guess what, nope it wasn't.

First tried to install imagemagick, that didn't work as only teacher accounts have admin and the teacher was already pretty scarred once he saw me doing stuff in powershell so I thought I'd better not ask to do this via a teacher account and mess with stuff as admin.

Next method: Installing msys2. That worked at least (after taking forever to install and having to mess with the av software to get it to run).
And there comes the next problem: pacman doesn't connect via the proxy so I can't download any packages. There is free wifi but only for teachers, and students aren't going to get access until the school finally has a faster connection because they'd (understandably) cause this connection to be constantly overloaded. I just happen to have access to this wifi network, too, because at least the guys from the IT dept know how bad using proxies under linux is. So I connect via wifi and it works. At least I thought: After running the script it yields weird errors about unsupported arguments even though the command is exactly the same I have been using for years (already checked typos twice)

Then got the idea of simply installing imagemagick on termux on android and transferring the files onto my phone.
Too bad we aren't allowed to attach our own USBs to the pcs. Luckily I got a rooted phone so I simply activate adb over network and connect to it.
After downloading the platform-tools I can't run them because of AV software. Luckily there is an option to add an exception per executable so I do that. After doing that it works.... nope it doesn't. The wifi only allows 443/tcp and 80/tcp, even for internal network devices.

So that's it. I'm simply going to upload that stuff to my nextcloud and convert it at home.

Windows, I hate you!!!
