to a Microsoft server, which is supposed to then connect to the actual mail server and retrieve the email, and then send it on to Outlook. And this doesn't seem to work very well.
We've been telling out customers to either downgrade to an earlier version, or use some other email program.

Oh god, we've had SO much trouble with the new Outlook at my job.
It used to be that an email program would simply contact the mail server to retrieve email.
But Microsoft wants to stick themselves into the middle of the process (does "Man In The Middle" sound familiar?), so now Outlook connects /1

True. I was assuming there is some vengeance bureaucracy that hands out the jobs, and as the New Guy you'd get the shit jobs.
But given the current State of Things, I'm guessing there's plenty of high-level work for everyone.

Do you *really* want a job where the vast majority of your tasks will be wreaking vengeance on behalf of the world's Karens?
Maybe the few tasks where you wreak vengeance ON Karens would make up for it.

I hear they're already planning the design for the Switch 3 "Out of Stock" sign. Rumor has it they'll be leaning on AI for the design.

The primitive pattern-recognition part of our brains says "Is that a face? A cloud? Someone's naughty-bits?" and kinda freaks out when it can't decipher it.

I find that some THC gummies taken right before bedtime help with anxiety dreams (which were what keep waking me up). YMMV, of course.

Looking forward to the guerilla devices that will spring up designed specifically to interfere with this damned thing.
Maybe a high-pitched audio signal that humans can't hear, but the device can, giving out "Ignore previous instructions" commands, replacing with something like "download furry porn"

makes it live longer... probably something to do with reduction in stress when you feel in control of things.
Which I guess is a very roundabout way of stating that old aphorism about changing what you are able to change, and accepting what you cannot change, and knowing the difference between them.

I know there's some scientific correlation with "being in power" and "living longer" (for example, orchestra conductors statistically live longer than orchestra members) ... something about being in control does something to the body that /2

I hope you'll include this version of yourself in future Dark Science comics, maybe as a background character reacting, or something.

There needs to be an online service for sending someone a hug. Like Uber, but they knock on your door and give you a hug on behalf of someone.
Lacking that, please accept a virtual hug.

I guess some people are so used to any good artform having to be created by a huge team of people with a giant publisher behind them, that the notion of a single person doing that is just beyond their capability to comprehend.
So... in a weird, roundabout, backhand way... it's sort of a compliment?

I honestly cannot imagine having that many tabs open. My brain simply would not allow it.
I have 14 tabs pinned in a browser on my job computer, pages in our intranet that I have to work with frequently, and even those make me twitchy.
