microsoft teams, rant, cursing, shouting
Oh, and when I installed M$ Teams on Windows 10 it tried to coax me into converting my Local Windows 10 account to a Microsoft account with my WORK EMAIL connected to "MY ORGANIZATION" so that "MY ORGANIZATION" could "MANAGE MY SETTINGS". FUCK YOU M$! THIS IS MY PERSONAL COMPUTER! I'D RATHER NOT HAVE TO FUCKING BURN IT!
microsoft teams, rant, cursing
I fucking hate M$ Teams, especially the Linux client, I've spent a day trying to figure out a sound configuration that works and fucking nothing works! 
Works just fine in other applications on Linux or in M$ Teams on Windows 10.

I've got a problem with my (build-in) Bluetooth adapter in my computer that requires me to, every once in a while, shutdown my computer, flip the power switch on the power supply and wait a little bit 
⌛
Sometimes I forget to turn it back on and so it's left unpowered for longer, then when I flip the switch again the surge is enough to trip a breaker and I have to reset it before trying again

there are only six kinds of names in tech:
a) normal phrase with superlative
b) "what if we called it wi-fi... because it's like sci-fi"
c) "what if we called it compact disc... because the disc is compact"
d) a cool word, not necessarily english
e) acronym that describes the concept
f) Software Relations Working Group Standard Task Force ACCC 12589 rev. 6

NTFS, the New Technology File System, has been windows' default file system since 1993
"high definition" refers to 720p and above, with 1080p being Full High Definition and 2160p being Ultra High Definition
USB full speed was superceded by USB super speed, which was superceded by USB super speed+
using superlative names for tech products is always a terrible idea

i just looked up the thread and they weren't just suggesting that jimbo uses blockchain, but specifically the bitcoin blockchain

one of my favourite twitter events is when someone pinged jimbo wales (the co-founder of wikipedia) and said "hey you should use the blockchain for wikipedia instead, it's really good for storing data" and jimbo literally replied "we already have a place for storing data. it's called a database"
the conversation started low and moved further downhill very quickly into this person saying "but the blockchain can do this" and someone else saying "but the database they already have does it faster and more efficiently" and then PUBLIC LEDGER and ugh

@lynnesbian Neoliberalism is the juggling act between human rights and making a shit-ton of money, but also being really bad at juggling 😛
