I am once again demanding that all Not Now or Maybe Later buttons be paired with a No Never or Fuck Off button.
@jackeric @notsle @ricardoharvin personally I’d say avoid it like the plague. Rowling takes any engagement with Potter as an endorsement of her hate campaign, don’t give her fuel.
@Edent I think posting this cursed me as I was woken in the night by my bedside clock turning all its LEDs on while mysteriously no longer displaying the current date and time. (It is still receiving updates on the current cost of energy though)
@Edent sounds as good a reason as any. At least it’s not a device you wrote the firmware for so you can just shrug rather than knowing ultimately the blinding light at 3am is your own fault [gives the side eye to his bedside clock]
@Edent usually it would tell you why in the log. It not having a reason (an action triggered by a person or an automation run) suggests the light itself or the hub it’s connected to triggered it.
@fesshole that’s ok, nobody could smell anyway what with all the coke.
I decided to quickly make a minor change to how some data was structured on Saturday morning. “It’ll be quick” I said to myself. “It’ll be easy” I said.
It’s now 4pm on Monday and somehow I’m still doing it (admittedly I have taken several very long breaks in the intervening period). The intent was to save myself a really quite small amount of time which will never be paid back, but I’m so deep down the rabbit hole I refuse to give up.
I know it’s petty but I cringe everytime I see login, logout, signup used as verbs rather than log in, log out, and sign up.
Considerate of this hotel to provide a door sign to use when you definitely aren’t doing any crimes in your room.
It’s time for my bi-annual campaign (posting a salty post) to rename British Summer Time to British Standard Time and then abolish this clock changing nonsense. If we do that way we’ll even have the gammons on board immediately, guaranteeing success.
Everytime I watch it I’m amazed the BBC haven’t managed to do anything about how much the iPlayer encoders hate Gladiators. Loads of pyros, massive video walls/floors everywhere, and fast moving motion seems to make them collapse into something that looks like it was shot on VHS.
@Thayer I’ve been known to buy hilariously overpriced terrible headphones from Smiths in similar situations.
Just sent a bunch of emails which I’m massively excited for the potential of if they come back with a yes and having to remind myself they might not.
I’m convinced the iOS keyboard has some secret sequence of button presses which turns off autocapitalisation and autocorrect because every now and then I do something, the keyboard vibrates, and suddenly it stops doing anything useful.
@Edent ohh, I was playing that game yesterday. Always bet on DHL over Yodel.
my mother in law talking about her ideas for hobbies after retirement
