There’s a joke about chaps in here I’m not deviant enough to discover.

I was once on a team that would filter out staging-only bugs in bug triage meetings. The team would only ever fix a bug if it was found in production. It was exactly as foot-gun as it sounds.

Alexa skeezes me out. I have a single Google home mini I keep in the garage so that I can control music and stuff hands free, but that’s about it. I’ve stopped using it on my phone because it’s garbage now. I have to assume Alexa is equivalently enshittified.

Managers when a tester does this in a planning meeting, asking for more time to write better teats: 😠

Managers when a staff level engineer does this in a post-fuckup root cause analysis meeting telling everyone what went wrong: 🤤

Managers when the tester points out it wouldn’t have happened if tests for it had gotten written:

Fair point. They’ve always defaulted to Shumering because shutting down the government causes a lot of pain for people dependent on public services, but with the idiots in charge already dismantling everything, there’s zero reason not to, most of the people dependent on the government are already getting fucked DOGEy style anyway.

I bought Ikea bulbs and the only time I’ve ever had an issue with them is after a brownout nuked the gateway/hub device.

If you let the wireless remotes run out of battery you have to re-sync them, but beyond that they’re the easiest IoT thing I’ve ever used.

Google home assistant has gone to total shit. That new Gemini crap will not recognize commands the the old assistant has no issues with

I’m outside Minnesota, but I haven’t traveled today. I’m not sure how to answer the question.

I buried these feelings beneath metric tons of Star Trek memes, how dare you resurface them.

Happiest Ghibli Movie:

Mom’s going to die and Dad doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing half the time. A giant monster lives in the ghost tree behind your ash-haunted house.

Bonus: You may have killed your little sister when you left her in the dust crying because her toddler legs couldn’t keep up with you.

Uh, they put sublime under happy because it’s Ska-like. I don’t think whoever made this chart ever listened to any of the words.

What I got is arguably their happiest song, and it’s painfully obvious it’s a depressed person reminding himself that life can be enjoyed, is worth living, even when everything is shit.

No one has discussed split keyboards, which offer all the benefits of a full size and addresses ergonomic concerns across the board. Need only half your keyboard today? Done and done.

Need ALL the keyboard, we gotchu.

He absolutely could

It’s almost better than losing money. He put up a certain amount of Tesla stock as collateral for the loan (essentially) to buy Twitter.

So if Tesla’s stock tanks, those creditors will be able to claw more stock away from him. If it tanks enough, he’s in hostile takeover territory.

Trust and Faith are not the same thing. A belief is not the same as a fact. Language is a terrible way to talk about this, which is why science uses math.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PLUTONIUM!

Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest.
