In the spirit of @keenan's post about unapologetically enjoying banging pop songs, Miley Cyrus' 2008 album Breakout is so fucking good https://album.link/i/1440775948

@sophie No that’s on her first album - but this one does have the Rock Mafia remix of it which is 🔥

@bendaubney My friend had the 8GB Black version which was a different model and it was great. I still don't know if I just had a duff one or they were all like that.

@cutts This draft has existed for a couple of years for me too, pushed me to actually finish it.

I'd agree though, anyone of around our age is gunna have had mostly the same thing, maybe with a blackberry chucked in there somewhere.

I wore my #Eleventy conf shirt today and my daughter asked what it meant. So I tried to explain and she asked if I meant Roblox and now I feel old.

@cory I wore mine and my wife said “I don’t get it is it an Internet thing?”

@jake4480 @cory To add context to the will one - that was a government agency who asked me to rate them. Wasn’t even a standalone company.

Hi, @robb, I'm fiddling with and I may have tripped over a bug.

I'm trying to connect my headlines RSS feed at https://starbreaker.org/feeds/headlines.xml, which appears to be valid (https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstarbreaker.org%2Ffeeds%2Fheadlines.xml), but instead of {{ summary }} grabbing the contents of the <description> element it ends up blank.

Has anybody else reported this?

robb,
@robb@social.lol avatar

@starbreaker Yeah this is an issue I have a bug filed for - the description is there from your feed but it's in the {{ content }} variable instead.

robb,
@robb@social.lol avatar

@starbreaker If you really wanna save yourself, JSON feed is so much better in so many ways.

⭐ Would You Recommend Us to Your Friends? by @starbreaker https://starbreaker.org/blog/rants/would-you-recommend-us-to-your-friends/index.html

"Whether or not I would recommend your business is none of your business. Who the fuck are you to even ask this question of your customers?"

Amen. Fuck right off with all this.

Since @robb had written something similar, here's something I wrote about customer sentiment analysis last year.

http://starbreaker.org/blog/rants/would-you-recommend-us-to-your-friends/index.html

"What businesses should be asking is not whether I would recommend them to my friends, but whether I would warn my friends against them."

@starbreaker This is excellent.

I was wondering what was taking up so much RAM on my server, and then I discovered that there were 12,000 (yes, twelve thousand) ssh-agent processes running. 💀

@nileane that seems like too many

Can’t believe they called the feedback in the new Apple pencil “haptic" instead of "hand throb”

@jonathanreed the joy of being in private discords with me is you get to see me workshopping shitposts in real time

Please Rate Your Experience https://rknight.me/blog/please-rate-your-experience/

I wrote this in a furious rage last night after receiving yet another “please rate us” email right after @cassey posted about the very same thing

robb,
@robb@social.lol avatar

@mbjones @cassey For the record, I will always give the top rating if it's for an employee of a company and not the company itself (unless they truly were bad at their job).

I think I have truthfully had as many colds in 5 weeks of daycare as I had in the 4 prior years of Covid

@ry I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure the daycare places must run “lick each others faces hour" every day just to make sure everything gets spread around evenly.
