my favourite thing ever is trying to configure a second workstation’s git app to connect via OAuth to my github account and everything I can find spells out the limitations and warnings but literally nothing tells you how to actually connect.

I love working in Markdown when writing HTML. When appropriate, I love using tables (for tabular data). On macOS, I love using TableFlip. https://tableflipapp.com

My son and I were supposed to go to the first week of June. He is autistic and in the past has easily qualified for their disability pass. His symptoms are severe enough that going by what is stated on their new policy he should easily be eligible for their DAS.

So yesterday we get up at 9 AM to do the Zoom call with a CM. I explain to her his issues and why he would need a DAS. My son is on the call as well. After about a minute on the call he is denied a DAS. Confused I ask questions about why he wouldn’t be eligible but she starts giving me suggestions on how to deal with waiting in lines. I try to explain to her why those won’t work and she gives me a sarcastic “have a magical day” and ends the video chat.

After the chat I have to explain to my son that he might have to wait in long lines during our trip and he then has a meltdown. It took a while to get him through it. I decide that we should just see about getting a refund, even though we are only a little over a week away from leaving.

So I call customer service and explain that I wanted to see about getting a refund without penalty because he was denied a DAS. After talking with her supervisor they agree and give me a refund. Considering the length of stay and hotel we were staying at it was a considerable amount of money.

So if you are neurodivergent and have used a DAS in the past good luck. Maybe you’ll have better luck than I did when you have your chat with a CM. But for us our Disney days are over.

@AppleFanboy that’s really shitty. what makes it worse is that I expect more of some companies — not many, but Disney is among them.

@AppleFanboy once an org decides to cut costs (no matter what) or increase profitability (no matter what), this sort of thing becomes inevitable. it shows that they fail to grasp what matters — even, over the long term — to their own bottom line. Capitalism blows.

I slept 10 hours.

Solid.

I didn't even get up to pee.

I don't feel the looming threat of ripping anyone's head off this morning.

You probably are all safe today. (FAFO)

Apologies if you are missing any body parts from this past week.

Happy Friday.🌺

@Waitnwallflower I actually do this regularly. It’s my superpower. (That and flying, but anyone can buy a ticket.)

@ColesStreetPothole I’m gonna need you to be more specific. Because that covers a lot of ground at the moment.

opened the kitchen window tonight. the screen has some holes, but I didn't have the light on, so I didn't worry about bugs getting in.

next thing i know there's a massive June Bug in the living room, FLAGRANTLY VIOLATING THE SOCIAL CONTRACT THAT'S RIGHT THERE IN ITS NAME.

@violinguy I am ashamed to admit that’s what I did last year.

Then I bought some material to patch it with. It’s still on the old to-do list, though. 🤦‍♂️

@violinguy I’m consoling myself by claiming that I’m prioritizing. cough

@anathema_device Yeah. I’ve had one since last summer. Sitting on a shelf, unopened. 🤦‍♂️

Incidentally I'm thankfully still not seeing any of this Google "AI results" stuff. It sounds like nearly everyone else is. I don't know if the difference is because I'm on a Canadian IP, or because my feedback when they briefly opted me into the early beta tests was so aggressively negative they put some kind of "AI Hater" flag on my account

That Jackie West debut album that just dropped is very beautiful.

@kissane I fell down The Trinity Sessions rabbit hole just last night — after not thinking about them for maybe 20 years?

Then I realized when that album came out and I turned to dust.

I suspect I could listen/work to this for hours. “Is that you or are you you?” by Chris Zabriskie. From a video game, apparently (the last time I was a gamer that meant stacks of quarters). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed8N141l9FQ

@JohnJBurnsIII Betty Bowers is a satirical, atheist character. My guess is you’d like the video.

@JohnJBurnsIII oh, no doubt. Bowers is typically really good, though (not that I’ve seen any of her content in years).

I can’t recommend being woken suddenly in the wee hours of the morning by your shower curtain collapsing.

Because then you don’t get back to sleep. 🤦‍♂️
