Let's be clear: my first Windows was 3.11 for Workgroups. At this point, I'm sure a copy is installed in my brain, though it seems to have downgraded itself to XP SP1. Most of my IT career has been spent supporting Windows, and I want to like Win11 but it's just bad. #Windows11 #TechRant

The biggest thing here is the commitment it takes to build an entire plugin ecosystem. This is the foundation of #OpenSource: Freedom & choice. Kudos to the @linuxfoundation.org; one of the few organizations out there I would trust to do this right.

Just absolute, pure Zuck slime. Goddamn Meta.. Cringy mofos. Why does anyone even use Facebook anymore? Oh right, Marketplace.... lol.

Let's talk "Green IT." Feels like a contradiction, doesn't it? But what if the most eco-friendly choice for your business IT also gave you more control and lower long-term costs? It's more possible than you think. 🧵👇 #GreenIT #SustainableTech #OnPremises #SmallBizIT #EWaste #YYC

When you walk into work in the morning, dangerously low on caffeine, and the office Karen is already at 11. 😂

Ah yes... Pope Felonious, the first of his name.

Another spicy day already. Someone hit the Summer button prematurely. #yyc

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I am good with ditching #raytracing if it meant getting rid of 20 minutes of shader preloading/compiling.

Things are very, very bad. It is day two.

It's time again. I have been slapped down to Bronze 1. I have been humbled. Now the road continues! Come watch me and my good friend Gr1m1ey tonight, as we try our damnedest to get back to Nova 1. err I mean Gold rank! twitch.tv/esherravenfire The fun starts in an hour! #MarvelRivals #streaming

HAPPY NEW YEAR! (in an hour but f that, I'm going to bed) See you all in 2025!! ❤️

Wow, I never knew he said this. Jimmy Carter was ahead of his time—a man of unmatched kindness and integrity. Truly, he was too good for us.

Holy shit, this is 100% accurate 😆

Howdy everyone. I'm in a tight spot, and have sort of run out of options in the short term. I desperately need some help getting through the holiday season. So if you can contribute, please do. If not, please share my #GoFundMe campaign with your networks. www.gofundme.com/f/atrsq-any-...

Soo, random ladybug, in the middle of December, decided to come say hi, and see if I had any food maybe? Lost track of it now, but little one is more than welcome to chill here for the Winter.

I don't care why he exists, or where he comes from. All I know is I am in love with this glorious little bastard. And we destroy worlds together, he and I. #MarvelRivals

If it wasn’t so pathetic and dangerous, it might be funny.

I wrote a second story for The Alberta Worker today. Trudeau government strikebreaks. Again. As you probably heard, the Liberal government recently forced postal workers back to work. This is the 6th time they’ve interfered in contract negotiations. albertaworker.ca/news/trudeau...

Finally, a Clippy skin I could get behind.
