@kiki True, it's not really patching the driver itself. But I guess identifying the issue, failing to find a newer driver, finding similar cards are using the same driver but have a newer version available in the Windows Update catalog, downloading that and manually changing the driver package's config files does go a bit beyond "install".

On Linux, that card just works..

@kiki It's a ~2013ish Laptop which got a fresh install of Windows 10 LTSC. To be fair, it probably wasn't sold with Win10. Not sure about the exact card but I could check the next time when I visit my parents.

The problem was that Windows update supplied a buggy driver for this WiFi card. There is, however, a newer driver available for a some related cards. So you need to download the driver for the other card, add the identifiers for this card to the .INF (iirc) file and manually install this driver. No more WiFi drops, yay!

tbh I've had more and worse "fuck off" situations on Windows. From slightly buggy drivers that you need to patch yourself* to shit being broken beyond repair.

* if you can find the forgotten knowledge of an ancient civilization buried deep in some obscure forums – otherwise you just gotta live with your WiFi card randomly going to "fuck off" mode

Now I'm not saying it's necessarily better on Linux, but at least if someone there finds a fix, it could be fixed upstream.

@kiki Spot on. I only recently learned to open up thanks to some amazing new friends I've made and I made a ton of progress, but I also know that I very likely will have bad times again in my life.

That said, I'm not looking for a partner right now, because I need to work through a lot of stuff before I'm ready to have a healthy relationship.

@kiki Oh I see, that's a very different thing. I'd call that rather wanting them to have a positive mindset.

As someone with a (not fully resolved) history of depression and anxiety, I know it's very hard on the partner and how it can also drag them down.

Don't take stupid people's judgement as a fact. It is merely a reflection of their limited worldview.

I wish for you to find open-minded and supportive friends, that accept you as you are and are there for you and tell you that you are good as you are, and that you may also accept yourself.

I am just an internet stranger that has been going through a tough time as well, but let me tell you that you don't need the acceptance of others to be yourself and be happy. And if people judge you for that, it's their problem, not yours.

gg, I'm out 😂

(Has anyone ever figured everything out?)

Somehow I knew this shitpost could only be from the one and only..

@netikras It's kinda funny that your response is, while appropriate, also generic enough to be in line with the two spambot comments above.

@donkulator More like handwork

All I can see is a lot of ... engagement

@b2plane If you're being honest about the status of your work, that may as well be a planning (i.e. management) issue.

Welcome to the real world

I can't say I'm there yet, but have an updoot for yourself (and Tame Impala)

Dude, you forgot your spam link

Let them burn to the ground

Because they know the codebase is a trash fire and are happy to have anyone put up with it?

Hey, stop calling me bored xor emotionally blank! ... Ok, maybe I am bored easily.

*puts headphones back on*

Or having no pizza left?

@kobenz by having to unclog the toilet?

"too much homemade pizza" doesn't compute

There's non such thing as "too much homemade pizza".

@jestdotty Am I doing it correctly by eating ≥100g ≥90% chocolate per day? Is it normal to poop like @b2plane?

There's a reason he's the _previous_ developer.

@Wisecrack Not blonde and no broken condom.
