Apparently I can’t even escape my QA job while complaining on the internet lol

Being trans and autistic in Seattle this isn’t exaggerating that much from my lived experience tbh

I’m not familiar with what you’re talking about. If not m already converting my notes why not just go right to html?

I set up a build server for my obsidian notes. Push changes to GitHub, Jenkins picks it up, turns it into a website, and deploys to another server. I’m running into an issue though the tool I use to turn it into a website is abandoned. Might have to roll my own 😔

Ooh, yeah mine gets confused every time I’m dusting out my computer with compressed air lol

I hiss at mine, works 90% of the time. He just wanders off doesn’t seem to upset him and gets the point across

My ex spouse’s black cat can do that and open doors with lever handles. Little dude is a menace to society

I used to work for a university trying to modernize how people got student and financial data. Over half my work was playing politics rooting out people who refused to change and going above their head. We had one guy who didn’t want to update a script on his end to include the bare minimum amount of ‘security’: a hard coded plain text password. It took me months and I had to go to his office to update his script and he complained about it the entire four minutes it took

#3 depends where you are on the hit list I suppose. I’m trans, so I’m well past worry-o-clock and am actively making arrangements to leave the country. Someone like a cishet white male tech worker has a lot less to worry about though

I’m actively working to get out of the US. I think about leaving the people and community I know every day. There were a couple people who said they’d go but backed out when they realized I wasn’t just engaging in what if fantasy. It’s been difficult knowing how hard it is to find friends and support in my thirties and I’m going to have to start from scratch on the other side of the planet. I’m trans and worried I could get black bagged any day now but even with that the thought of leaving my social circle behind is almost enough to make me stay

Live the tech worker dream and shift to woodworking (I know it’s not that easy)

This does seem like it’s on the right track. It may be program-specific how those values get used though? So I think the next step is to figure out the common way those values get used by programs and how hard coded they might be

These sound more like shortcuts, are they able to add special folders to a sidebar though? So like in the file viewer I can have a shortcut to my Development folder by just drag/dropping it into place:

But after doing that if I try and open a file in say Kate then the popup looks like this:

I’d like for the folder to be visible as if it were a special folder like Documents and always show up in the side bar for all applications (bonus points if I can give it a custom icon too)

I’m moving to Sweden in about 6 months! Or sooner if things go wildly to shit before then…

Moscow Idaho or Russia they’re both similar temp right now lol

If so, the smart move would be applying for citizenship in a country that isn’t a failed democracy, and getting the fuck out

Me setting up a bug out bag while I arrange moving to another country

Cries in Seattle, the night sky is just a myth to try and convince me to move

I had to do a stool sample a couple years ago. One of the worst experiences of my life I’d rather just die

I still have a while before it should expire, like 8 or so years. I do keep it very safe like my life depends on it because it very well could. Fortunately I live in an area less likely to have transphobic border agents but yeah we’ll find out I guess… Unfortunately if I get out early I could completely fuck over my roommate like they may end up homeless. If it were just me I would be selling all my shit and bailing on the lease asap. We’re talking out plans if I do have to leave early though so hopefully it goes well for them. I’m also worried about a retroactive thing. That’s on my hard list of ‘if this happens I need to attempt to flee immediately like day of if possible’ to try and get out during the confusion before the rules go full swing
