This is the home of very few Activity Pub accounts. It uses Takahē.
The curse of knowing how things work is knowing that there’s no good reason for them to be subtly shit all the time.
This thought brought to you by a TV popping a needless notification in the corner whenever it’s turned on, and the response “oh, I just ignore it, it goes away”. If it were my TV I’d be hunting down the option to turn it off before anything else got watched.
Unprompted thought of the day: Is Karen (as in a person who just loves to complain) now a valid word in Scrabble?
The boy also enjoying climbing is generally good, it’s great to have something active we can do together. It does make a session very demanding though; in the gaps between boulders where I’d usually sit and relax I instead find myself climbing halfway up something to show him something.
Anyway, I’m ludicrously proud of him today, he’s got to a point where he’s willing to keep trying at things rather than bail after a couple of failures.
I’ve got a working CO2 sensor again and I’m not sure I like it. I’m constantly being informed levels have gone above 1000ppm again because realistically I don’t want to have the windows open all the time when it’s 7c outside.
Truly living the life as I spend my Saturday afternoon migrating task management software to something that isn’t only available on Apple devices.
May I strongly recommend https://lunatask.app for those with spicy brains, it’s got a great model for tracking things, and has a really nice story around encryption/import/export.
@quixoticgeek @idnorton @stefano in a previous job we got acquired and spent a chunk of time working out what would be needed for a major pivot. As a team we came back with “this can’t be done in less than a year”, but Project Management stepped in and said “well, if we do all these things in parallel it could be as little as six months”.
I quit a little over a year later, nothing had been shipped. My understanding is it went live a few months after that.
Today, in incredibly petty things I’d change if put in charge, I would outlaw Brands. No more of one company having different lines of products to hide behind and vary pricing around. You may be a Company, but that company has a name and a logo, and they must feature prominently wherever you’re selling a thing.
Fuck up your reputation with a terrible product? Bad luck. You should have made a good one instead, no rebranding to throw people off the scent.
@bob @marquisdegeek I see your beer barrel urinals and raise you some mad horses. (Despite appearances, not generated by a machine, because that didn’t exist when I took this photo)
@mhoye @solderandchaos this is the best thing I’ve seen all day, absolutely losing it here.
@edbilodeau @misty I dread to think what cursed combination of features resulted in that. Presumably if it were allowed Frontpage Extensions would be automatically enabled or something.
