Fucking hell, it's a hell of a wake-up call when a 27 year old schools you on taking life-nocks. 😳
Although my Kirk brain isn't listening right now and being all theatric, I've passed it over to my Spock brain who will pass it on once Kirk calms down.
Till then, time for a drink (or 8)!
Edit: sorry, added cw

Whelp... I have a "meeting with HR" to look forward to and being told to go home after my "outburst" last week. 😒
Just what I need to settle the Balrog which has been reeking havoc since my panic attack.
Kill me now

So, Proton don't make it easy to get your email out of their silly system. You have to download a CLI package to do it, but once logged in, it's fairly straightforward. Find the details here at the attached link.
I'm moving mine all to Tuta. To my surprise, Proton gave me a full refund.

@Tutanota thanks for accepting my email address, I'm sure you've had an influx of new accounts recently, so I appreciate the speediness.

Made it to the Waltham Abbey Wool Show. I've never felt more underdressed than I feel now. Most people are wearing their crafted tops or products, and I'm wearing a boring t-shirt.
Lots of beautiful yarn though!

I'm really starting to like Star Wars: Andor. It seemed really unrelated to the Universe. But I'm starting to see that it's actually a warning of what's to come first in the US, and maybe the world. The episode where it really hit home was episode 7: Announcement. I won't spoil it, but watch that and tell me we're not seeing the beginnings of this in the US? Ok, it's sci-fi, so it's a little extra, but tell me I'm wrong!

Nerds of the Fediverse, help:
I'm trying to get Linux to work on an old Dell 5290 2-in-1 tablet/laptop. It runs fine, but the camera doesn't work. The camera is fine, because it worked on Windows, but Linux just refuses to see it. So far, I've tried Arch (Endeavour OS) and Fedora, but no luck. I suspect it's not a distro thing, more likely a driver or whatever thing. Anything I can do to get the firmware on this bastard to work? TIA

Final thing:
It's all too easy to say "it's the [insert government/publicly funded agency here], what do you expect?" And that's the problem! We (as a species) have become too accepting of being shat on by people higher than us and just accepting it! Why should it be ok this happening just because it's the NHS? It isn't, and shouldn't be accepted. We should cry out and demand better, especially if we're paying for it!
JFC, I love the NHS, just not it's middle management bullshit.
Rant over.

This is due to a change in management and management style. We went from "working fine, processes in place but by no means perfect" to "stats, call times, ticket numbers, save money on kit (whilst shelling out more elsewhere), change processes without telling anyone, siloed teams and 0 trust between related teams". It's exhausting and, quite frankly, disheartening. We deal with the public's lives (indirectly), but instead we concentrate on numbers and figures.

It's not so much that "we'll try some things" didn't work, that I accept will have some teething issues.
It's more the complete lack of care from the other team looking to see if what they've tried is being fair or not.
If I had been transferring a ticket, and was aware that there were some issues, I'd double check they weren't all going to one person!
Sadly, in the last two years, our ticket management has gone from cooperation to "throw it over the wall and forgetaboutid"

In other news:
I'm fuming with work today. I actually had a small panic attack because of it. Then it turned to pure rage.
Yesterday afternoon, my colleague and I mentioned how I was getting all the incidents, and he wasn't getting any. We were sort of fobbed off, but told we would try some things.
Today, I logged in and I had 9 incidents, 5 of them given to me this morning! When I say "this is taking the Mick", I get laughed at and one manager says "just pass them over!".

Lol, Proton have offered me "two extra months - free of charge - to help resolve this issue". I think the only way this could be resolved is for the CEO to step down and the foundation to fully commit to not supporting fascist regimes.
But I don't see that happening.

Good morning everyone!
First WFH day of the year for me, but I was still up early. Had a blood test and other tests to do with the GP before work. Now relaxing with a nice cuppa Joe.
I mean working hard on my tickets ☺️

So I'm now looking to move from Proton. I'm going to try TutaMail (Tutanota) again. Last time I tried them, my account never got activated, which was a bummer, but heyho.
If it works this time, I'll try and transfer across. I've emailed proton asking for a refund. I'm not having my money going to Donald Fart's pockets.

You asked what the new Pi5 with 16GB RAM was for? Someone said "hold my beer":

So I just found out that my work is binning all the computers we can't upgrade to Windows 11 (which will be a lot!). They can't be arsed to sell off for scrap or charity/schools/parts, they just go straight in the WEEE waste bin once we've recovered the RAM and HDD/SDD.
Then we're told, we can't get new desktops (to replace the ones we're binning) because we're trying to save £18m. "Let us upgrade what we have then" I say.
"No, we don't do that, you shouldn't be opening desktops/laptops" 🤦🏻♂️

[me, whilst cooking lunches for the week] "ooh, I should wind up one of those skeins so I can start my swatch!"

I might also try going to the mill I'm subscribed to for their Mill Open Weekend. It's a fair way away, but should be fun and a good reason for a break.

This weekend is my local yarn show. I look forward to going, but I also worry I'll come out with a load of new hobbies and too much yarn. 😂
