@gsuberland had a near miss with the boy recently on finding out he had a bunch of personal arty projects in his school Google account. The one that he would lose access to two days later on leaving that school.
@Edent I feel like you’re doing well if the majority of CVs even come with a cover letter. Most of what I see these days is just a bare CV, often five pages long and covering every job the candidate has ever had, and the fact they were captain of their school hockey team (genuinely a thing mentioned on one CV I saw).
@anon_opin however, if you move a clock forward from 3pm it would be at 4pm. Why don’t you just say “I’m moving the meeting to 2pm”.
@lizardbill @codinghorror yeah, don’t buy that at all. I couldn’t review 10,000 lines of code a day, even if I wasn’t also hand holding an LLM through generating it.
@solderandchaos I love that everyone just seems to know the etiquette on that as well. Country lane? Good morning. Council estate cut through? Good morning. Pedestrian crossing over a big road? Hell no, are you mad?
This is from Israel's oldest paper. This is Israeli media reporting these war crimes and genocide in broad daylight.
You won't see this in American corporate media. They've continued to ignore this, enable this, even justify this and cheer it on.
Do not look away. This is genocide. This cannot stand.
So far this week I’ve walked clean into a low hanging sign, leaving a substantial dent in my head, and dropped a full metal water bottle on my big toe, and it’s not even Wednesday yet. Stay tuned to find out what other exciting injuries I incur.
@q Moto G has always been my go to Android test device. Not utterly unusable, but crap enough you get the true £30/month including the phone Android user experience.
Periodic reminder that EU did not mandate cookie popups.
Cookie popups are yet another example of malicious complience by an industry that wants to use and abuse data about us all.
@PurpleJillybeans @catsalad so many different types of horrified face, it’s like looking at clouds.
@anon_opin this feels like a thing that could have been said to one specific person rather than the entire internet.
Thinking for some reason today of all the horror stories I was told about Eastern European socialist countries to characterise them as rapidly failing states.
"Systems and products never worked, despite all the glowing propaganda; people just shrugged and accepted it."
"Jobs and contracts were granted based on who you knew, not what you knew."
"Friends and family of the party could get whatever they liked, everyone else struggled even to get housing, food, and essentials."
"Unbiased reporting was nonexistent; the media just printed endless propaganda."
"You could be grabbed off the street by police for saying the wrong thing."
@sophie that “do not reverse in flight” sign has amused me. “Do not reverse in flight. You will fall out of the sky.”
(I guess it’s actually for some specific component rather than suggesting you might slam the whole plane in reverse without thinking)
Overheard at airport from airline staff : “sir, that is AI and AI is a liar”
@maartje possibly it avoids ID conflicts? Statistically it’s unlikely two delivery providers will generate the same hex string within the same 20 minute period.
@maartje yup, my example was awful keyboard bashing, delivery order numbers are almost universally hexidecimal.
@maartje I assume one of them started that way and then everyone jumped on the bandwagon.
@maartje curiously this seems to be universal across restaurants and delivery providers across the UK. Most places you’ll see drivers coming in and asking for “3jc” or whatever, which is always the last few characters of a delivery ID.
@rolenthedeep regrettably if the companies making those operating systems did that they’d become utilities rather than scrappy tech startups, and that would mean the line would have to stop going up.
@adamantichrist @fesshole because it looks a little bit like boobs. It’s the closest this guy will get to seeing any on account of the fact he doesn’t speak to his wife.
When they run out of Toy Story characters will Debian switch to a rolling release model?
