Akenshi: I like how weekends are only long enough so you can have dread about going to work on monday.
Today at 7:17 PM
Akenshi: I wouldn't mind an extra day or two.
Today at 7:24 PM
Akenshi: I takes me like 3 days just to go off from the alarm state and actually get a clear mind.
Today at 7:27 PM
turntableToothache: but then you'd just have dread for going to work on tuesday
Today at 7:28 PM
Some_porcupine: if i could invoke covid, can we do something similar? i wished fo everyone to feel like me, alone...

Neet is happy

Today at 7:37 PM
turntableToothache: Neet eats tendies
Today at 7:37 PM
Akenshi: yup
Today at 7:37 PM
Akenshi: I didn't had a good time with my neet times unfortunately.
Today at 7:38 PM
turntableToothache: Not enough tendies
Today at 7:38 PM
Akenshi: yup
Today at 7:38 PM
Akenshi: not enough honey-mustard
Today at 7:39 PM
Junious: being a neet sucks. you have to experience discomfort through labor in order to enjoy leisure
Today at 7:39 PM
Akenshi: this
Today at 7:40 PM
№56: also living with your parents for a long time as an adult will wear you down, at least in an anglo household where everyone expects you to move out
Today at 7:41 PM
Akenshi: you can build on the family land lol
Today at 7:42 PM
Akenshi: But yeah, the job itself is not that bad, but I am especially not fond of forcing us to go to the office.
Today at 7:43 PM
№56: what family land?
Today at 7:43 PM
Akenshi: the lot where I live lol
Today at 7:44 PM
№56: i kind of suspect that at least in the us building another house on the same property, even if there's enough room, is too complicated for the average neet
Today at 7:45 PM
№56: and then most people live on small single-building lots anways
Today at 7:45 PM
Akenshi: oh, I live in the potato zone
Today at 7:45 PM
Akenshi: people were able to buy land during communism, because our late stage socialism was a libertarian utopia compared to the free west of the now
Today at 7:46 PM
Akenshi: the houses and infractucture were shit, but whatevs
Today at 7:47 PM
Akenshi: I sure as hell won't be able to afford my own with a normiejob
Today at 7:48 PM
Akenshi: but again, who does
Today at 7:49 PM
Akenshi: My main objective is to support my family anyway
Today at 7:53 PM
Akenshi: just men, I wish the company I work was able to... Sent invoices via email and similar stuff like that.
Today at 7:54 PM
Akenshi: So this Canadian company...
Today at 7:54 PM
Akenshi: accepts fucking checks mailed from the US.
Today at 7:54 PM
Akenshi: and sends the customers the invoices via the mail
Today at 7:54 PM
Akenshi: to fucking Texas.

Today at 7:57 PM
Akenshi: I always find it funny to see the corporate news about AI this, and AI that. Bitch, the core business function is being done on mainframes from the late 70s, and the invoices are being manually printed our and scanned.
+2
Today at 7:57 PM
Akenshi: also, we don't use CRM when making the collections
Today at 7:59 PM
Akenshi: like wow, I am glad the company is so disfunctional I can literally wing it and improvise on my 1000 clients
Today at 7:59 PM
Akenshi: They also want to start using KPIs, I am like okay, too bad half of my top clients cannot be collected because of EDI issues, GST claims and whatnot.
Today at 8:01 PM

Look on a MBA level I totally understand, they don't want to spend money. On a non MBA level, you should invest in keeping your fundamental support functions at least decent because the main business functionality will start to suffer.

Exactly, half the systems are basically big irons from IBM, the other half are self developed stuff from the 00s.

Today at 8:05 PM
Akenshi: Also the stuff they want to use to replace these legacy systems... ugh the CTO is retarded
Today at 8:06 PM
Akenshi: at least the systems will be new, so people who are still alive can touch them
Today at 8:07 PM
Akenshi: I mean sure, we have support for the legacy mainframe, but imagine Indians who get US programmer wages because they know COBOL

llillilll: the AI electricity usage is only 1/10 of cryptominers
Today at 8:09 PM
Akenshi: Oh, also they don't have an online place where they can make payments. Credit Card payments can only be processed via the phone as well.
Today at 8:11 PM
Akenshi: I used to work for the local government, it was better organized than this.
Today at 8:12 PM

As much as I love doomposting, the higher level issues are kinda spooks. People just despair over national politics, the pengiuns catching fire and wars on the other side of the world, so they pay less attention to themselves.

Today at 8:49 PM
Akenshi: I think 125% maybe
Today at 8:49 PM
llillilll: The weirdest thing is, i always downscale or use smaller res to fix the largeness of screens, when i go to a internet cafe i have to set the game to smaller res because the screen is soo large

I can put on many hats, I will put on my technocrat hat, from the fact that they trashed millions of cars, billions of computers, they don't give a single damn about the resource issues. They just want to increase their share of the pie and control of resources. For the average home user an early two core computer would be more than enough, if the OS wasn't super bloated (by design)
