This "independent contractor" Ziply Fiber hired to do a fiber repair has now ghosted both me and the project manager lady two goddamn days in a row

At this point I've dropped all pretense with Ziply Fiber

Give me a *union* field technician. Don't fob me off to your worthless contractors at Pacific Cable

Taking my Dreamcast behind the shed and fucking shooting it

I don't want it to live to see this indignity

Me: Hey I've moved out of the condemned unit. I want my deposit back

Landlord: Sounds good!

[1 week later]

Me: Hey, what's the status on my deposit?

Landlord: WEEEELLL. You left junk in the old room and we reserved a new room for you that you didn't end up moving into and you didn't tell us until the last minute sooooooooooooo

Anybody out there know a fucking lawyer in Washington State? This seems so fucking illegal

HEY. Do you want a pride system icon with your flag of choice? (Finder, KDE Home or other icons)

The contractor dipshit fixing the cut fiber line at my workshop is ghosting my ISP so I'm *still* completely unable to do any retro computing stuff (and have been for over a week now ;-;)

In order to help me not go completely stir crazy (even Factorio isn't helping)

I'm still doing these fun little "Pride Flag edits" of various system icons (Finder, KDE Home etc)

IF YOU WOULD LIKE ONE

- Gibe me $5 via Ko-Fi

https://ko-fi.com/CursedSilicon

- Tell me what icon and flag you would like!

- Send me an SVG of the icon of your choice

In exchange I'll send you a super high res PNG and the PSD. You can then do whatever you want with it <3

I love when I need to buy bulk items on eBay (like RAM sticks)

And I'm like "hey I'm buying literally 48 sticks of RAM. Literally YOUR ENTIRE STOCK. Can you do me like 50% off?"

And they come back and offer like, $2 off. $2 off 48 fucking sticks of RAM

Like for fucks sake it's DDR2 at least haggle *a little bit*

I wish sending a "Decline" would just forcefully put this as a pop-up window on their phone

One of the perks of having a "real workshop" is that I can shitpost in the real world

That is to say, I'm surrounded by real small businesses (lawyers, therapists, beauty salons etc)

And I get to say "yeah I run Clown Computing up on the third floor"

"Oh you do cloud computing?"

"No, CLOWN computing"
