the lack of a feature you dreamed up in your head and did not put in the spec or even tell anyone else about is not, technically, a 'bug'.

the irony, of course, is that wordress' plans to scrape content for ai training has actually inspired me to write in my damn blog.

@Crell php doc comments fall into three, evenly-divided categories:

  1. useful
  2. useful in 2004
  3. what the hell are you talking about?

@ghorwood@mastodon.social avatar

@Crell @radmen i mean, i have found a lot of useful stuff in the comments over the years. the pcntl stuff is, if i recall, is very challenging without the user-contributed comments. but finding those gems can be a challenge in amongst the cruft.

@Crell @radmen like, look at this entry:

this function is a total mystery without the comments.

starting to think, at this late age, that there are people who deliberately craft a reputation of unreliability so that those around them will take on these people’s responsibilities because it’s just faster and easier.

presently if you check the box in outlook to "try the new outlook"

and you have a microsoft 365 corporate account

it will refuse to allow you to login because its not a supported account type.

and there is no way to go back to "old outlook" without regedit.

the "new outlook" worked on my corporate account just fine 2mo ago.

@bobmagicii is the proton performance lag really enough to merit that still? i mean: i don’t play games that even remotely tax my system, but the people i know who do seem at least moderately happy with proton now.

i deeply, honestly, need the people close to me to stop having crises right now. additionally, i need the frontenders to figure out if it’s spelled “referer” or “referrer”.

andrew spelled it wrong and i wrote all my stuff to match for the sake of continuity and then he changed it to be right and now i’m the one that looks like an idiot.

we call it “teamwork”.

A chronic sore shoulder and resulting muscle tightness is not great for someone who actually doesn’t mind cooking at home but there is a lot of work and a lot of cleanup.

(for context I partially tore my right rotator cuff in 2017 but thought it was just "overexertion". It healed wrong and I gave been paying the price ever since)

@grmpyprogrammer i played two shows with a torn rotator cuff before getting home to the dr and it took me almost a year to get back to an approximation of normal.
