@normjess agreed. Who do you think people *should* support? We need to change that to something positive - personally I think the Greens are a good option currently, opinions may vary, but “they’re all shit, give up hope” isn’t going to change any minds.
Me, 90 minutes ago: I’ll see how far I get on this in half an hour.
@simon does this mean the conference badge arms race can finally end or do we have to see an escalation through more CPU and RAM now?
On the plus side, I completed not one but two climbs I’ve been struggling with for some time today. On the negative side, good God, my entire body aches now.
I’m very much enjoying having A Project but it’s not doing my sleep cycle any good at all. Or more accurately my sleep deficit, because unfortunately just because I’m going to bed an hour or so late most nights doesn’t mean I can get up an hour or so late the next day.
@solderandchaos highly variable apparently. 1.8-7.9kph across the last year.
I always find the build up to remembrance day difficult - because the mainstream way to remember is not the way I remember
Because many who say "lest we forget" - remember only what they choose to
Because we have forgotten to fight nazis
Because the UK forgot that the EU was the way we ensured "never again"
Because they gave everything and went through hell to save our world - now we argue about giving up plastic straws to save it for our kids.
I left my ISP a less than perfect Trustpilot review yesterday, broadly summarised as “good internet, wish they’d stop begging for a good review”. Their response was to call me, and then when I didn’t pick up email, to see if might be persuaded to make the review better.
I’m tempted to go drop it a star in response. Regardless, this is now going to be my response to all NPS score emails where it’s clear the answer won’t result in a callcentre worker getting bollocked.
News site developers who push your site’s home page into the history stack over the top of wherever I came from: there’s a special place in hell for you.
It’s not terrible or anything. Just an eternity of mild annoyances getting in the way of going where you want to be.
@james Monday mid-morning is my recommendation. They’ll even do you a full English.
Please enjoy this photo of Tolly, a cat who can do the very best impression of the idealistic anime cat face.
@karotte wait, what? Presumably this also means that in offices using hubs with DisplayLink display adapters (many of them) you could exfiltrate data to a USB device via screen recording, even if corporate laptops have USB ports disabled for most purposes.
@purple @hicksy2 @mike @pikesley @Thebratdragon @anon_opin you all realise parliament can pass laws right? If they really wanted to they could just pass one that says all the bus companies belong to councils now, but everyone is so absorbed in the idea that we can’t upset businesses or The Market we refuse to do anything good.
I’m building a thing in a framework that includes Tailwind for CSS and thought stay with it and see just how bad it is.
The official documentation recommends “use multiple cursor editing” as an approach to manage the vast amount of duplication everywhere. Someone actually sat down, wrote that, and recorded a little video to go with it.
They do concede that sometimes you might, shock, horror, write your own CSS class. This should be avoided though.
Today in Dutch crime:
— There was a tax officer with legitimate access to a database of information on citizens, needed to do his job
— His lookups in the database increased an order of magnitude, often after work hours
— The people whose information he looked up were peculiarly likely to experience a mafia intimidation crime (such as fireworks-in-the-mail-slot) shortly afterwards
This is why thorough audit logs are such a crucial part of computer security. If your org handles sensitive personal information, you should be proactively looking for users with an unusually high number of accesses, or who are looking up celebrities, politicians or their own family and neighbors for no clear reason.
Finally. FINALLY. Defeated one of my nemesis boulders this evening, one that is well within my abilities until the last two moves which I just could not get. I’ve been trying this one for about a month now, and tonight I spotted the move I’ve been missing which makes it all fall into place.
This is why I enjoy climbing as a hobby, it’s exercise, but also it’s defeating little puzzles with grades attached to them. Basically catnip for my brain.
@dave my worst one of these was a recruiter saying “yes, 100% remote is fine” and then later finding what they meant was “you’ll have to commute in five days a week for the first month and then we might talk about reducing that”.
Your call is important to us. But not important enough for us to hire enough staff that it will be answered anytime soon, don’t get too full of yourself.
Once again woken up mad that we have made a world where the number one priority is that the money is happy
@Edent well that didn’t get properly attached to whatever I was replying to, and I can’t remember what it was now.
Suffice to say it was a hilarious response to… whatever it was.
