I've sent over a thousand job applications over the last year, only to be able to count the number of replies back on a single hand and be told that, despite having 10 years of experience in hobby softdev and hundreds of completed projects, i wasn't skilled enough for a junior position.

Glad i spent all those years teaching myself the intricacies of x86 asm, GPU rendering, databases from scratch, programming language compilation, networking, servers, cybersecurity, 10 languages, etc; only for a program to come out and enable someone who cant use a keyboard to do it all in an hour.

Straight up feels like I've wasted the last decade of my life learning tech only to get out of schooling and have AI rip away any and all opportunities of doing anything professional in the field.

Flashback to the time my geiger counter went off with a "Off the scale" alarm at work and everyone was asking "Why do you have a geiger counter?" and not "Why is it measuring over 1mSv/h?"

In other news, if anyone in the greater Lexington ky area is looking for an IT dude with software development, networking, cyber sec, and server admin experience, let me know. Also open to remote.

Got moved into a new department at work the other day. Straight up had someone come up to me today and ask how I liked it followed by "you don't seem happy anymore".

Its not even like i can't copy paste from nvim at all, its specifically with exactly 2 instances open, copying and pasting between them. 3 instances and its fine. 1 instance into something else and its fine. I hate computers.

Why can't i just have a normal computer issue for once? Why can't it just be a "Failed to connect to wifi" and I have to re-enter the password or something? I specifically can't copy and paste between *just* two nvim instances without Spotify crashing...

I might be the most socially anxious person you know but I'll just randomly have a 15 minute conversation with a homeless guy about gas prices and politics while waiting for the grocery store to open at 6am.

Anyone else just like stop, look around, see everyone you know is doing stuff and going somewhere in life and you're just like posting some stupid thing about your own existential dread on blue sky at 6:37am after staying awake all night playing video games?

Can we get a decent discord alternative that people will actually want to switch to already?? I'm tired of discord eating 4gb of ram and crashing every 15 minutes.

Managed to get in contact with the dude hosting it, sent some logs and he's working on getting a bug report sent in. Now realizing this probably comes off fairly rude, didn't really mean for it to be, but logging into cloudflare and seeing 2m requests a day does get your blood boiling a bit. Sorry!

I've already tracked down the IP and blocked it on the firewall side. Still more or less just pissed that I'm having to pay for the bandwidth XD Its a fairly new relay as far as I can tell as well.

FireWire @firewire.catgirls.social · 05/05/2026

I'm all down for relays and firehouses, but 30 million requests in 14 days is just fucking ridiculous.

To the dude thats calling a repo sync on my PDS 20 times a second. (You know who you are), Please fucking stop.

NPUs really are just wasted die space.

Can not recommend setting these up more. Still doesn't beat out compiling on a half decent xfs or well tuned btrfs system but it makes it a lot less insufferable for larger projects.

Wonder if its a matter of if x86 is just more difficult to compile for. Are you compiling for the same targets? Do wonder how AMD platforms or how different linux fs handle it as well.

Can't go wrong with gnome-fonts!

the kind of funny thing to open Firefox just to download Librewolf is such a Linux distro thing

You should be able to just shove any TTF files into /usr/share/fonts/ for systemwide or ~/.local/share/fonts/ or ~/.fonts/ for user wide. Your package manager might have them as well!
