Support your libraries. Folks are going bat-shit to try to roll back culture.

Google continues to impress in their lack of wanting to be stewards.

If you don't have an exit plan for your Google services you may want to rethink that plan.

When I say that I'm making a fresh pot of coffee, I'm hoping you'll assume I mean "I'm replacing this old, stale coffee with new, fresh coffee"

In reality, I mean "this coffee is gone, so I must make more out of deference to the likely problematic caffeine dependency that fuels me"

craigmaloney,

@jer_ A problem or a blessing.... 😁

I think "Dead Man's Hill" is a bit of a misnomer but that's not a hill I'm willing to die on.

Mm, is the popcorn ready? Gotta deal with the munchies!

craigmaloney,

@cstross That's my home state. We lean hard into our brand of "the Michigan Militia was a start"

"We’re super stoked you finished this and very excited to read through your responses. Thank you!"

Tell Qualtrics I said "fuck you". I worked in this business and the best I can hope for is someone sanitizing this so everyone gets their favorite headpats and dopamine hits.

craigmaloney,

@snowyfox Welcome to surveys, where everyone wants to feel good about themselves.

craigmaloney,

@emmah God I hope so because otherwise I'm going to feel salty about wasting my life.

craigmaloney,

@alienghic Same reason Eddie Bauer will literally die if my jeans experience is anything short of "my wedding day" and "orgasmic".

craigmaloney,

@Rob_T_Firefly Thank you. I have a microphone for just such purposes. 😁

The thing that kills me is that Reddit is sitting on what could have become, if they'd had leadership with the faintest hint of vision, the most wildly valuable dragon's-hoard treasure trove on the internet, an unimaginably vast pool of human-curated, human voted-on, human-loved-and-wanted information.

And the hill they've decided to die on is making it more difficult and more expensive for humans to add to it.

They had the future in-hand and they're pissing it away for the cashout.

craigmaloney,

@mhoye They split on a pair of eights, not realizing the community has the ace and the advantage.

I have spent entirely too much time in sc-im, proving once again that I don't hate spreadsheets, just things that look like Excel.
