it’s too quiet here 💣

A screenshot from Married With Children, episode 4×23 — Yard Sale. Al and Bud are sitting on a bench in the yard, with Kelly standing next to them, listening. Al is explaining further: > You know, “there’s nothing so stupid that a bigger idiot won’t come along and buy”.
A screenshot from Married With Children, episode 4×23 — Yard Sale. Al and Bud are sitting on a bench in the yard, with Kelly standing next to them, just out of frame, listening. Al is explaining further, now with a vicious expression on his face: > Eventually, you get to the head idiot.

Al is finishing up his explanation: > We sell them MongoDB. (the word MongoDB has been crossed out) shitcoins. (again, crossed out) NFTs. (again, crossed out) LLMs.

What the fuck is this. How much #disinformation are you ingesting every day to say this.

> Young Americans—or at least the subset of them who take part in surveys—appear to be remarkably ignorant about one of modern history’s greatest crimes. Some 20% of respondents aged 18-29 think that the Holocaust is a myth […]. An additional 30% of young Americans said they do not know whether the Holocaust is a myth.

Weirdest software interaction of the day:

I bought The Longest Journey from GoG years ago and I have it installed on my PC.

I bought the classic Command & Conquer games from EA a few years ago and just installed some of them, including Tiberian Sun, on the same PC.

When I try to launch Tiberian Sun, EA’s app asks me for admin permissions, and when I grant them, it launches TLJ instead.

Both executables are named game.exe, but they are in different folders. Neither folder is in %PATH%.

What.

Two times in the last two days, MS Teams simply swallowed my messages. Type two messages in a row, switch to a different browser tab, do something else, look back at the Teams tab, poof, the first message is gone with no error. The second message is still there. Fuck you Microsoft.

Two new hires joined my workplace today. Introduction chat:
Hire 1: “In my free time, I like to read books, so if you want to talk about George Orwell or something, just chat me up on a coffee break”
Hire 2: “Oh, what a coincidence, I just finished reading Orwell. Ninety-eighty-four … or something!”

Last boost:
I’m now thinking about analogies between consent pop-ups and this old bash quote about IRC file transfers:

<someone> accept cock
<someone> errr
<someone> accept, cock

It’s amusing how quickly my “2 LLMs 1 Internet” quip is coming true. Or maybe I should say “alarming”.

If that particular visual is not your favourite, another description I like is “Kessler syndrome for information”.

that bleak feeling when the customer says “I exported all orders and only got 2 orders instead of many, why??” and you can see his screenshot where he set a very specific filter for which orders he wanted to export

Mitch McTurtle stands at the podium, its eyes boiling in the camera lights, willing its neurons to unfreeze its body, but it can’t. Not without your help. And you’re not helping. It’s okay, neither am I. Nobody is asking “Why”. Everybody knows why.
