This should not have been a surprise in the wake of Kevin Hart being cast as Roland. In what world did that make sense?

Only gamers will get that joke

Need to launch DaVinci Resolve Studio from the CLI to figure out why it won’t launch from the GUI, and then launch it again with a list of libraries to exclude in order to get it working.

Really weird errors if you try to use a USB stick formatted with FAT after applying a kernel update but before rebooting.

Multiple password prompts when attempting to update Flatpak applications over ssh in its default configuration.

Basic applications included with commercial operating systems often missing (e.g. paint application missing from Pop!_OS).

Good luck figuring out emergency mode if you don’t know what fstab is. And changing kernel parameters on Rocky 9 must be handled via grubby, not by editing configs like in Debian, Arch, or Pop.

Can’t emulate SSD on VM qcow2 files on Debian unless you use the version in backports; can emulate SSD but can’t use anything involving spice in RHEL9+clones unless you add a copr repo because it’s been removed. This makes desktop virtualization annoying.

Can’t participate in Microsoft Teams calls if the input and output audio devices are the same device or the call disconnects/reconnects every few seconds. Microphone and speaker must be separate devices for optimal experience.

Can’t use OBS Virtual Camera in Teams on Firefox.

That’s the stuff I’ve dealt with in the past 3 weeks.

TL;DR: Asus pulls the same crap with warranties today that they pulled 22+ years ago. They should be avoided at all costs.

Somewhere, an ISO27001 auditor’s jimmies started rustling.

I currently pay $45/mo for 75/20 DSL over 1960s copper. 3 streets over, they’re paying $45/mo for 300/300 fiber from the same ISP. You tellin’ me the FCC can punish them for that?

I’d say “the office dress code,” but what I really mean is my gut.

Hate to tell you this, but it’s been shitty since the NEXRAD feeds broke and they never bothered to fix ‘em.

Cheaper to buy a hat and eyepatch than it is to pay for all these streaming services…

They're printed copies of all of the GNU man pages.

Why yes, I do have a moment to SPLIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER

I just want it to stop self-destructing every two hours when I’m running it as a VM under Linux.
