𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: My graphics card has stopped working.
𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: We'll reinstall the driver.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: That didn't work.
𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: Hang on, how are you getting a desktop?
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: The one screen works but not the other.
𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: So the card is working?
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: I kicked the cable, and now the one screen doesn't work.
𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: So reinstalling the driver was pointless, you may have damaged the port.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: I'll buy another card from Amazon.
𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: Umm? OK.

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: I fitted the new card, and that doesn't work either!
𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: What?
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Only one screen works!
𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: I'm coming to you tomorrow, I'll need to physically see it.

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: It's working now.

I bet he'd pulled the cable out of the monitor, or he hadn't pushed the cable in enough. 😠🤦🙈

PLEASE SHARE!

The Social Web Devroom at FOSDEM 2025 will be the first time the conference has a track dedicated entirely to ActivityPub servers, Fediverse clients, libraries, apps, toolkits, services, etc.

If you work on Fediverse software that is Free and Open Source, please consider submitting a proposal: pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2025…

The deadline is December 1, 2024, so not much time remains. But proposals are very easy and quick!

Oh, it's going to be one of those days, is it?

It is one of those days where you give people clear instructions, and yet they forge ahead with what they think, having clearly disregarded everything you've said to them.

I asked Admin to put some details on SAGE as I have a deal I'm hoping to close this morning for five Laptops: "Do us a favour, put it on the system, but don't send it because I haven't had the go-ahead yet. When I have then, send it, and once they've paid, I'll release the goods."

Just had an email from Admin: "Invoiced."

@steevc I had trouble adding the image. It was too big for my instance settings. Seems OK now?

I voted at around 07:15, and there were three other voters there, so it might be a good turnout. 🤷♂️
