Sure, yeah.

20:30 December 24 as a kid through 05:30-ish? Until I actually fell asleep anyway it felt eternal. Like the second hand on the clock fucking with you by sticking but still ticking. Which that shit did back then but always sprung back to barely-any-time-passed.

I had a long career with plenty of digg/reddit time that made a nine hour day feel like a pleasant nine, but still nine. Too bad they also made the rest of the 15 feel like shit.

I answered tier one tech calls from collection agents. Eight hours was eternal. Worse than Christmas, soul crushing, can’t make a joke about it. Left.

Now I have a job that I love that is 12 to 15 if OT. Breezes by.

Human nature I think.

If you meant on a larger timescale then - yes also, but nobody needs dreadful anecdotes.

Not totally relevant because I work 4-on-4-off, but I tell anyone who will listen to me say that the best, most wonderfullest, pry it from my cold fingers part is that I no longer care if it’s Monday. Ever. This is wonderful, even if my shifts fall on one. Because it’s Monday and it’s no longer special and has no power over me. I don’t think I’d have the same passion talking about Fridays.

The above is saying that Lemmy is not monolithic and if you find one instance an echo chamber there are other instances that may be more to your liking.

Lemmy. Reddit has become what it was a bastion from.

👍 thank you

Thunder was my first and I loved everything about it except tap-iPhone-lens-area-to-scroll-to-top being absent (or me being an idiot) had me switch.

I should try it again.

Debt collection.

Or anything related. I filled a gap between careers doing tech support for a local (Canadian) software company that made a database for collectors (primarily in the USA). Never again, the industry or ancillary to it.

Microsoft just lets you create install media now.

Like mentioned, if the machine was registered before you should be able to click that in a radio button during install and it should just work^TM.

Edit: I see you mentioned 10 but I think same applies and the media tool is also available.

Yeah, sorry, I should add that I refer to the article, not your posting of it.

The meat of the thing is a rando reply to a tweet by a guy, not any research the guy did.
