@andypiper @skylar the curse of the Net Promoter Score, somehow considered to be a valid substitute for managers going out into the world and seeing what the service their responsible for is like.

I’ve recently been paying attention to what I eat, and exercising regularly. I was going to make some snide remark about that because it’s quite out of character for me but you know what? All those people who say it makes you feel better know what they’re talking about, I feel better than I have done in quite a long time.

@pikesley because the age verification thing is going swimmingly. How about we put a two hour screen time limit on MPs so they can stop reacting to whatever the Daily Mail tweeted recently and go do something useful instead.

@jalefkowit and yet somehow the rational market says Tesla is still worth more than Ford, General Motors, Rivian, and several other manufacturers combined.

Report imaginary spies or danger to the Gestapo or police.

@MattPCart @anon_opin also it’s just a terrible time. I highly recommend avoiding the need to attend a hospital, they’re full of sick people and doctors poke and prod you.

Just caught my tomatoes trying to sneak out ...

@pikesley it’s fucking everywhere and I hate it. The gradual decline of every service everywhere from Providing the Service to simply being a funnel into whatever get rich quick scheme is bit this week.

Not saying I’m having difficulty thinking today but I just asked myself whether a device had a network connection as a possible cause for some odd lines in the logs being streamed to me from it across the internet.

@anon_opin it’s maybe realistic depending on how difficult interplanetary travel is. Entire planets with a monoculture are just the natural extension of people wanting to live in a bubble of people who think the same as them, although it does raise some moral issues around any children brought up in those cultures believing it’s the only option.

It’s 10:26am and already I’m incandescently angry at the general state of the world. Becoming hermit is ever more appealing.

@IvanSanchez We need more attribution stickers!

Shortly after this photo was taken what I can only describe as a pack of 6 very friendly dogs out for a walk came for a swim. I am now quite wet and muddy.

Not a bad spot for lunch.

@an0key I mean the alternative is Siri reading you all 600 pages of the TuneIn terms and conditions so maybe this is a small mercy.

@dave not really, “a branch” isn’t really an atomic thing in either git or jj’s model of the world, it’s just a pointer to a specific commit.

@dave I’m the only person I know using it. Sadly git, and in particular GitHub’s opinionated approach to using git, has captured everyone. Thankfully jj works fine with that, and also makes the very tedious “open fifteen stacked PRs instead of using commits like a sane person” approach less painful than usual.

@dave yeah, I was similarly hesitant but haven’t had any problems in practice. I think on one occasion I had to drop down to git’s oplog to unstick myself (and that may have been a lack of jj understanding at the time).

@dave as one example it has a trivial to use jj split command, which provides an interactive editor to select which chunks you want in which commit, then provides you with two clean commits.

@dave give Jujutsu a look, it’s built on top of git’s data store (so is compatible with anything git) but the support for moving changes between branches is so much nicer to use.

@fesshole another case of men not talking to their partners here. You could alternatively say “watch what you like, I’m going to go play guitar for a bit”.

Well this is grim. Love to live in a police state.

@petergleick @tdp_org in a few decades I think there’ll be things emerging that make the tobacco companies look like they had our best interests at heart.

@dave I’m genuinely not sure what this offers above the current Siri/Google Assistant/Alexa integrations, and the example doesn’t help much. Looks to do the same thing but *really verbosely*. I don’t want my home assistant to be an obsequious servant, I just want it to toggle an internal switch.
