Even in IT I find that with each consecutive job that I get, my wage increases while my workload decreases. I’m literally being paid more to do less.

Even installing Windows fresh using default settings, it managed to completely erase my Linux disk to put the Windows bootloader on it even though I selected a completely different disk for the Windows OS.

TIL the French Language Police is a thing

EU might hit them for it. I have no faith that the US government is going to do anything.
