This sounds basically like my understanding of modern physics.

Mildly annoyed because work's dropping support for mosh in our devenv in favor of EternalTerminal claiming that ET is "better."

@jade I wasn’t exactly mosh’s greatest fan for quite a while, and all else being equal I might still choose ET personally, but I bet no one involved has ever worked over what would be considered a slow or high-latency link. Hell even mobile hotspots show marked improvement with mosh in congested areas.

@Em0nM4stodon @jerry I'm trying to imagine how you would brush your teeth in a threatening way while stealing cars, and all I can come up with is something where the news would open with "And this hoser with the toothbrush…" 😂

@molly0xfff It is dead. Just like PHP. 🙃

Oh I know! Let's put RSS on the blockchain! With a RSS feed for blockchain updates!

I just would like to point out that
none of the accounts I was forced to create for job applications so far had any options for multi-factor authentication or for deleting the account.

And all of the accounts I was forced
to create for job applications so far required to enter very sensitive information that was completely unnecessary to require.

Don’t. Do. This.
Please. Stop.

This is something else I think gets missed when considering . Or upper management just doesn’t care, which would be far worse. Any sort of good vibes you built up with your employees is just gone. Poof, as if it never existed in the first place. It’ll be many months before you can even try to start rebuilding it, but everyone who survived layoffs has gone from your most senior and needed people to people most likely to leave when they can.

mandates are about control. If you work from home, you have more control over your time. You aren’t forced into a long (and costly) commute, you aren’t forced to take unpaid (or additional if you’re salaried) time away from family to accommodate work. And companies can claim they’re not wasting money on real estate they can’t get rid of.

If you don’t have a -Free copy, whether digital or physical, you haven’t purchased a copy. You’ve purchased a non-refundable revocable license to view the content at the service provider’s pleasure on the service provider’s terms. , it treats legitimate customers like criminals and doesn’t accomplish its stated goals (though perhaps it does accomplish its intended goals).

What I do when I feel like my life is out of control:
1.) Clear %TEMP%
2.) Clear C:\Windows\Temp
3.) Run cleanmgr.exe
4.) Run patchmypc.exe
5.) Delete stuff in %APPDATA% I don't have anymore

Personal Story Time:

Since the Pandemic started I have been quite isolated socially. I went from a pretty active social life to an online-only social life.

After 3 years of this, I have adapted quite well I must say but I realized I have developed some “regional expressions” likely only me in the world can get the reference to.

Today I want to share one with you:

Everyday I’ve been either working or studying alone in my home office space. Still, every day I shower and dress to keep a sense of normality. But let’s be honest, I dropped the uncomfortable pants and I work in pyjama pants. Sure I shower and do my hair and put on a clean shirt and all but the pants? Nope. I want comfort.

When I do have a videochat for work or with friends, or when I go out for errands, then I do put my “normal pants” on. Otherwise, it’s pyjama pants all day!

Now, I’ve had quite a lot of social disappointments in the past 3 years to be honest. And quite a few times had meetups canceled on me.

When that happens,
I scream in frustration alone in my home:

“I can’t believe I put pants on for this!” 😡👖

And well now, you can say that too.

@jgoguen@hachyderm.io avatar

@Em0nM4stodon I have been doing basically this, and I've said quite often "I wish I didn't need pants for this" 😂

Anyone trying to tell you is over is trying to sell you a bridge made of shit and salt. Now, completely separate from that, entirely different, the COVID represented the first time many people were able to safely do some things in public: their own grocery shopping, visit the doctor’s office, walk around the park. A mild inconvenience for some of us allowed the rest of us to exist in public at all.

Two things to remember:

  1. Google shuts down services without regard for actual usage (still salty about Reader!). See their DNS registrar business as an example of a well-used, established, paid business service they just decided to sell off. A Google product is not a safe long-term bet, even if you're paying them for it.

  2. If you don't have a DRM-free copy, physical or digital, you've only purchased a revocable license to view the content.

So many people can’t understand why I’m against for anything beyond convenience. Just think about it though, if any biometric data is stored off-device (and I assure you it is), when (not if) that database full of biometric data gets leaked how do you plan to change your fingerprints? Your face? Your retinas?

A friend showed me this great "trans debate" allegory. If you read this clearly satirical thread, it's funny. Replace "Dave" with "trans" and it suddenly becomes the deadly serious conversation actually happening trying to make the anti-trans position seem more reasonable.

https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/110296010465499818

The only unresolved question, of course, is what about trans people named Dave? 🤔
