Anyone got any ideas for how to get Linux adopted, that aren't just victim-blaming Windows users?

JANET AND ALEXA ARE NEMESES!

TFW you suck at laundry because ADHD, but only feel comfortable leaving the house in one of your 2 properly femme dresses, so your outermost layer hasn't been washed in days most of the time.

Protip: dont let your antidepressants lapse. Even once they're back, the backlog from reduced productivity will eat an entire week or so. And then you'll be an overworked zombie who can't even read a calendar-schedule.

Ordinary ppl on reddit talking about their problems with the quarantine, and things just got so much more real for me.

Actually, what was the kill rate for SARS and MERS? *checks wiki*

Oh, both are far, far worse than we're seeing ATM.

Though TBF, who knows how long Wuhan virus patients take to die.

Ok, here's my thoughs:

The Wuhan virus is basically a common cold, but with the ability to kill. Literally. Most cold cases (probably like the one swimming around my uni rn) are caused by milder coronaviruses.

As are previous outbreaks like SARS and MERS.

The kill rate I've seen so far is about 3% of the infected, which (IIRC) isn't even 1918 flu levels of evil. Human society has handled worse outbreaks. Still, 3% chances of dying are horrifying.

Dealing with my college's accommodations office again.

Obvious you're-a-compliance-point-and-nothing-more vibe is obvious.

Me, reviewing my initial accomodations email:

Waaait, you want me to SCHEDULE THINGS?

WHY wasn't that at the TOP in BOLD?

Heck, why is that even a requirement for the accommodations to actually be usable?

I swear to frick, OSD had ZERO disabled peoples' input in their process.

I'm fricked.

TFW you're on Twitter, and the stuff people post is so absurd you have to ask if you're in the same reality.

Yall's sky is usually some kinda opalescent blue, right? Gravity points down? Capitalism evil? That sort of thing?

Ok, what's yall's fave static site generator?

Today in "humans should not be allowed to computer":

Nintendo's NTSC build of Super Mario 64 was compiled without optimizations that were available at the time and used in the PAL build for some reason.

TFW you're unemployable but also going to starve within a few months without income, and the one source I have drives me closer to suicide every time I talk to them.

TFW there was a cold going around a week-or-so ago and your ears are so clogged you can hear your heartrate better than the world around you..

Also, I missed a day of class (didn't wanna get anyone else sick, I was mostly fine) and still have no idea what K/D trees are (something something multidimensional BST something something), and I kinda need to know nowish.

I'm not the only one who jumps 90-110% the distance to their screen upon a cat or other similarly cute cell bundle appearing on it, right?
