Wonder how long it will take for “to google something” to disappear from the language…

…or maybe it will take up a meaning of “utterly destroying a useful thing for sheer greed”.

First time I build a nether portal, it opens up directly under a lava flow. If you go through the portal, you die before the nether loads.
It's the death scene that showed me what happened.
Sigh.

Clarification of the 2nd amendment to state that the only legal reason to carry arms in public is to resist the authority of the state.

Cop:"why you got a gun? They're illegal"
Citizen : "fuck off pig or I'll shoot you"
Cop:"your gun is legal now , carry on"

I am so hideously over tired right now.

@Taco_lad@aus.social avatar

@jpm kind of?

Absolutely wired on the adrenalin and cortisol that is keeping me awake for keeping the kids safe.

The 3 yr old nearly poked my eye out waving their arm about when I told them to lie still and go to sleep, so they copped an unusually fierce growling at because I'm so tired and wired and the pain and loss of vision set me off, so they promptly burst into tears.
We have both apologised profusely for upsetting each other and they have fallen asleep happy. Noe I need to wind down again

@jpm kid understood, knew it wasn't them, it was me.

We've had conversations where I am completely candid about how tired I am and how little things make me have big feelings when I am tired and I ask if they can help me by working as a team to get into bed and have everything done more easily , and they do. They are good kids

Very cross.
Project team interrupted our business comms with a new feature (an entire new quarantine facility) - that they didn't tell anyone about, and hasn't been monitored for months.
I expressed my frustration in a meeting about it, and it was taken as a personal attack.

It's not a personal attack.

It's me being frustrated with the absolute fucking incompetence displayed.

Them : this Sender can't get to us, we keep rejecting the email

Me: this is how SMTP and DMARC work, I read the fucken RFC standards, and they're sending shit that's not compliant.

Them: they want an allow listing

Me: so suddenly their fuck up becomes our security flaw? Fuck off, no.

Them: also we think we should stop abiding by their DMARC policy

Me: why do they set their fucken DMARC policy if it's broken? No. Tell them we don't accept junk bullshit email, and to fix their bin fire.

People: "Why are you still wearing a mask? Nobody else does. "

Me: "I wear it indoors in shared airspace. My partner's second Covid infection crippled them.
I have significant carer duties now for both them and my kids. I can't afford to be crippled in turn."

Covid's not a big deal for most people.
Until it is.

Watching Microsoft put a Copilot key on a keyboard is giving very 'Samsung Bixby button' vibes, which was almost universally hated and was discontinued after about 3 years.

Boomers: We worked hard to set the world on fire between 1976 and now, we deserve to retire in comfort.

Also Boomers: we will die an ignoble death, forgotten and abandoned in a nursing home deliberately underfunded by the politicians we voted for.

Ahh yes, thanks Microsoft, I see we should replace junior ITsec positions with the lying machine. Your security solution is Definitely a place to add hallucinations and trust issues

If I can't turn the new Recall feature off using InTune or group policy, along with any and all 'AI' on Windows 11, it's time to chuck 20+ years of Windows out and move to Linux.
MS is really leaning into the "every other Windows OS is shit"
