I have a degree in this bullshit and wut

Sorry mate, that genuinely sucks

“Small miseries, like small debts, hit us in so many places, and meet us at so many turns and corners, that what they want in weight, they make up in number…” -Rudyard Kipling

Kids under 16 are likely to explore alternatives and get vendor-locked to them instead of Meta et Al. products.

Not that vendor lock in is good but maybe this will create more awareness that the web is bigger than a handful of websites.

My 90’s heart wishes for a return to the old web, where there was much more decentralisation

This is a stupid law that won’t work of course. Only the most delusional of parents with control issues support this.

However. This also might be unintentionally the most important antitrust legislation in a generation. For that, I am grateful.

My bad, never again

Sure! Thanksgiving is principally a national holiday in the U.S. that traces its roots to religious and historical traditions from England, particularly during the early 17th century colonies in the New World.

It’s meant to be an autumn harvest holiday. The apocryphal story is that Puritans sat down with Native Americans to feast and celebrate goodwill between their respective groups but the evidence for this is suspect at best.

Over time, Thanksgiving became more popular and involves heavy travel during the (pre-) holiday season. It’s a chance for families to enjoy each others’ company before Christmas and feast on roast turkey and a variety of vegetable dishes.

Hope this helps! Go with God.

I used to get mad at these but it unironically sounds like a nice open culture

The constant distraction and availability resonate with me.

The main thing is to put in systems where you don’t need as much effort to handle daily business. Usually you can engineer your way out of high touch, multi-step process glue.

In my youth working manual labour jobs I was full of vinegar and wouldn’t wait for the trucking dolly. Older workers taught me to slow down and I took that advice into software work.

Thank you for a thoughtful and interesting reply.

The public health angle is interesting. I know noise pollution has a measurable negative effect on quality of life.

I bet making the signs bigger would actually have some effect in that it would socialise the message to control volume to the public in general.

I suppose I don’t mind quiet conversations taking place but when I can hear it from five rows down it grinds my gears.

Been better lately about getting up and moving when someone comes in and sits down making noise but I sometimes need to go two three cars to get away from that.

Anyway cheers

Exact same thing happened to Feinstein

Is that what the three seashells are?

Aw rats.

I feel like most accusations of bad QA have their roots upstream of the QA department (or lack thereof)

Have tried to exterminate Jordan Peterson recommendations for years to no avail.
