    Is Garner using “everyone” in a manner both analogous and opposite to “how are we doing?”

      He thinks something, and because he’s clearly right, everyone else must agree with him and just not be willing to say it. Because if they don’t then he might be wrong, and that’s just inconceivable.

      (also, WOW, dude is sure blaming Lynn for his own damn problems, isn’t he?)

    Lynn should just walk away and tell that staff to go find a new webmaster

      To paraphrase an earlier comic: “Yeah, I don’t know why you’d think that was an option.” considering who is involved here.

      One tactic is to say, “Hey guys, Garner tells me that I’m annoying everybody and acting superior. I’m really sorry about that. So I’m going to resign right now so you can find a webmaster that can work with you better.”

    I was going to say that Lynn’s anger management therapist earned her money only if Lynn never came looking for a fight to begin with.

    But instead, I’ll recognize the obvious progress she must have made to not throttle this guy.

    Hahahahahahhaha!

    Oh, god, I have been in a very similar situation. A con in my area had an entire dept quit, and came to my con to recruit people as a stop gap so they could rebuild their staff. We showed up and were treated like we carried the plague. it was like, well, why did you ask us here if you didn’t actually want the help?

    It’s official – Garner is a complete bag of garbage. If you have an issue with someone, you don’t forcibly drag it into public view behind their back and take steps to “get back” at them. You don’t put a business other people have worked hard for at risk. You don’t spend hours wasting other people’s time. You go and talk to the other person.

    Yeah, this may be something of a hot topic for me. I find these kind of people to be some of the lowest forms of scum.

  • Every Time I Say My Desk is 'Peak' Cyberpunk, I End Up Topping It ( November 30th 2020 )


    My current desk

    So every few years I've felt the need to make an update about my ever evolving workspace, and how I (more and more) seem to be cultivating an aesthetic that screams "secondary side character in a cyberpunk story who probably gets killed off in the third act." It's an aesthetic I've been working on on purpose (well, not the getting killed off bit), but every time I declare it's reached "peak cyberpunk" I end up outdoing it soon after anyway.

    Like that 2017 update? I exceeded it in mere months.

    Anyway, since I made some significant changes recently, I thought I'd post an update about my weird hole of many screens where I run The Nerd & Tie Podcast Network from. I'm not going to run through everything, but I will map out the biggest differences from 2017. The first is (obviously) the 32" display up top, which I now use to stream media on instead of the Kindle Fire (though the Kindle Fire is still used for audio bumpers on podcasts). An Apple TV runs that, though I also have a spare Switch dock hooked up sometimes. The Linux laptop is gone (I mean I still have it though), replaced by the late-2011 13" MacBook Pro which used to be my main personal machine. That MacBook Pro is tucked away, but displays on the relocated black monitor in the lower left.

    Of course, my new main personal machine is a brand spankin' new M1 Mac mini, which is controlled by the keyboard and trackpad that sit where my laptop used to be. I've expanded the physical desk (and retired the mini fridge) to support the monitor for the Mac mini. And don't worry, Linux isn't gone from my desk (and I mean I still use the laptop) -- as you will notice one last monitor on the lower right which is hooked up to a Raspberry Pi 400. This is notably used from a different chair, as that's my "goof around" computer, and would literally be a distraction if I was trying to use it while getting work done.

    It's funny, I bought two computers in 2020, both of which are ARM based. With a good chunk of my desk now on RISC architecture, I'm happy I can just dig out this image without context as I sign off for today...

    RISC is good
