does the “stability and strong government with me or chaos with Ed Milliband” post not exist on Mastodon for me to periodically boost?

seems like literally everyone in Europe is seeing the #aurora #northernlights right now but here it’s misty. 😑 hopefully it will stick around until tomorrow night.

love how the corporate "stress management session" has a conflict with 3 other meetings on the calendar... 🙄

yes, chatGPT can make some tasks easier, but on the other side you need to read through garbage reports like this.

my first reaction was this look just like The Netherlands, but with a Mediterranean touch! (which makes sense for Arizona)

"Culdesac is the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in the US, and it will have housing for 1,000 residents"

I'm thinking about getting a Famicom with disk system just as a decorative piece because it looks cool. 😅

I want to shift focus to improving VS Code's version control flows soon. 🔀

what are some things you like/dislike currently? more importantly, what's frustrating you?

I'll start: I'm missing a visual git-log and feel disoriented because of it.

what are the project’s priorities?
“what would you like to work on?”

look. I’m tired of these silly games. next time I’m going to add hacker sounds to the terminal output. that’s what I /like/ to work on.

have family who got fined multiple thousands of pounds for forgetting to register. months of stress later the debt was suddenly forgiven. I guess this is why…

I agree with low emission zones. but the ones in London are so horribly badly implemented, unforgiving, and disproportionate it’s a sick joke.

I hope London/TfL get a mass lawsuit for emotional damages.

just found out our province is contributing millions to a "hyper loop" test centre. wtf! 😩 https://www.rtvnoord.nl/nieuws/1119418/drie-kilometer-lange-hyperloop-bij-meerstad-van-de-baan-komt-mogelijk-bij-veendam

I wonder if the bias of the iOS weather app towards showing clouds is one of those examples of California-centred design where sunny days are the norm.

I need to know if there’s even a small chance of sunshine in the coming days for my sanity! ☀️

ah a meeting in 3 hours... that leaves me 1h to do work and 2h to panic.

saying "I was wrong" in meetings: boring. puts the blame on you.

"I hallucinated": modern. shows you're using the latest tech. it's not your fault you're wrong.

this is such bullshit. language has nothing to do with preferred timestamp format. please don't assume things like this.

power sockets should always be installed near the floor and not in the middle of the wall.

change my mind.

in programming I just can't for the life of me remember which is which in "Definition" and "Declaration". 😩

these words are too visually and conceptually similar.

so the "Go to De..." commands are useless to me.

something like "Go to Definition" and "Go to Assignment" would be so much better. #code #ux.

sometimes I hate touchscreens so much. one uncontrolled gesture and you lose what you were doing or create other disastrous inputs.

we've also had them for so long and not solved this issue...
