Airlines offering you to "check in your hand-luggage for free" is ridiculous. People have hand luggage because they
a) Don't want to wait an extra hour at arrivals
b) Don't trust baggage handlers to not mess it up.
Inconvenience doesn't get better when it is "free".

Who knew that training AI to give you quick summaries to any query on data from a platform that had "What is this - wrong answers only" as an in-joke for decades was a bad idea?

You might wonder what religion praying mantises belong to. It's not a single one, they're all in sects.

I just coined a new social media acronym in a meeting. HTHS - High traffic horse shit. You know, polls like "50 VS Code plugins you need now", "What you didn't know about React and bowel movement", "Why Elon Musk uses tabs AND spaces"

The fact that X regards posts with links less valuable than just a text with an image with missing alternative text ruins it as a platform. No, I don't want to use this as my blog. And yes, a link to more information is more value than a pithy 240 character blurb.
So to those optimising for that nonsense - you lost me as a reader. I can't be arsed to find your post in this terrible timeline and then having to find the next just to see what you were on about.

So, Google is about to announce a new personal assistant, Pixie and OpenAI a search engine. This is getting super weird. Hey big tech: assistants failed, we don't use them, stop trying to make the web a consumable and perishable product. Use it as a platform.

Don't let Batman hear her name, but https://marta.sh/ is pretty awesome. Double panel file manager like Total Commander / Norton Commander but fully customisable and extensible. MacOS only though.
