I work in IT. So the lie is I know what I am doing, when all I do is google the error code and hope for stack overflow has an answer.
30 years ago you would have checked the manual or read the documentation, not much different just a little faster these days
30 years ago, manuals were worth the read.
I was doing IT 30 years ago.
Back then you’d post a question on USENET and get an answer back from the guy who wrote the program you were asking about.
Knowing to Google the error code then making the error code stop is knowing how to do your job. That’s my job as well so I wish you all the luck in the world.
It’s hilarious that people think I’m some kind of problem solver for all of their random issues they send over. I’ve even told them when they send me their errors - I literally copy and paste it into google (and now bing b/c google is becoming cluttered with garbage). Some of them just can’t wrap their head around just googling the error code or error string.
Maybe the one thing we can do is filter out the irrelevant answers, and choose the correct/closest solution, that way they don’t have to wade into the mess
only the ones i tell myself every day!
“you can do it!” “you’re an important part of your job!” “people like you!”
😂
No.
Hmmmmm.
I’m defintely not 3 ducks in a trench coat
Trump: Deport him to Canada!
I love my job.
Well actually I don’t. As soon as I get a better opportunity I am out of here.
My programs think they are running on windows. They are running in proton.
Yes.
Anyone who says otherwise is (ironically) lying.
That’s why privacy laws are so important and why the old “If you haven’t done anything wrong, you shouldn’t care about your data being collected by literally everyone” argument is bullshit. Because it’s not about breaking the law, or lying about some big secret. It’s about presenting to the world the you that you want to present to the world.
The most basic fundamental right is to be seen as we want to be seen.
Everyone…and I mean EVERYONE…has something that, if it were public, would change the way that others look at them. Maybe for the good, maybe for the worse. It doesn’t matter. It could be that you’re into midget porn. It could be that you anonymously donate a quarter of your paycheque to charity and you want it to remain anonymous for whatever reason. The point is, THAT IS YOUR RIGHT to keep that to yourself.
We get to show the world who we want them to see, either good or bad. And we all do it.
So yes, to circle back around. Anyone who says that they don’t actively have any lies is lying.
I dunno. I guess the question is if I would ever meet anyone I told a lie to ever again. That’s definitely not happening, so I guess I’m not maintaining them anymore.
