Lessons, living with parents with dementia: when an app on their phone spontaneously changes it's icon, it's a fucking disaster.
Some Google engineer launched a feature that got them a promotion and now my mom can't use her phone anymore. Silicon Valley is incapable of imagining a user who isn't a 27 year old white man.
Why aren’t the “godfathers” of AI talking about the massive data theft from artists & their lawsuits eg? Because that discourse is too beneath their genius brains to cover? They have to talk about grand endeavors like SAVING HUMANITY? Because their practices would be implicated?
Nostalgia is so strange. People will tell you about how they used to read Spider-Man comics with their dad, or how they used to ride bikes around the neighborhood with their friends, and then act like "Spider-Man" and "bikes" are the important takeaways
“Just yesterday, I asked an AI program to write an entire sci-fi novel for me, and [as someone who will die an empty shell of a man who wasted his life doing nothing for the world and, perhaps, should …
“Too many people bring the best of themselves to work, and bring the leftovers home.” Esther Perel
Ouch.
30yo me would have benefitted from hearing that.
She would probably have been too distracted by the singing of the career sirens for the message to land properly though.
two days of amazing talks and chats with attendees followed by one or more days of replaying all of those conversations to file any personally embarrassing moments in long term memory
conferences! 😅🫠

Well, well, well, what do we have here. It’s this year’s Bridgy stats update, and it’s one of the most eventful in a long time. …

The next time you feel imposter syndrome and are convinced that everyone is better than you, just remember that someone got paid for this hospital design.
I believe it is time to ban advertising. Now, I realize that much of the internet depends on advertising for its revenue, but that is offset by the fact that I don't give a fuck
I finished watching Frasier over lockdown - the miserable tale of a self-destructive incel - and decided to continue watching old American sitcoms. I thought Cheers was a hellish dystopia populated …
It does not make any fucking sense that nearly every depiction of centaurs shows them having abs. How are they building that much core strength??? HOW???

Somebody start a fun argument on here. Nothing with food, rent, or gender norms. We need something truly ground breaking
Okay, so, Charlie came back by, and I managed to get outside into the carport while they were hiding under the car, without my cats going outside to attack them. I sat nearby and talked to them a bit, and they only hissed at me.
So, I'm pretty sure they're feral and not interested in being adopted.
I guess I'm going to stop leaving food out for them, and I should probably just call Animal Control and see if they want to do their thing.
CW: alcohol, but not anything terrible
So I ended up being out until 5am for a change since significantly reducing my drinking to basically being sober, and sure, I had four ciders tonight, at maybe 4% or 4,5%, and I saw some people I used to get drunk with, and all I can think is "I'm not really gonna burn a day or be hungover, and I'm gunna remember tonight".
I spent the first 5-6 years of my steaming career hiding my body because of backlash against women.
I was still sl0t-shamed constantly.
It did NOTHING to help. 😮💨
Let people LIVE how they want.
She’s not hurting anyone.

Billie Eilish is the perfect example of how BOTH extremes in America often overstep to attack people’s personal decisions for idiotic reasons.
This quote from Eilish sums things up perfectly:

JK Rowling is a liar but she is also a billionaire so will string out legal action until the person she is after is broke and then she makes then publicly eat humble pie by posting an apology she has crafted to their witter timeline.
Rowling is Stasi.
She would have us in cells.
Open Sourced Code !== Open to Contribution
None of that matters though, because true OSS allows you to fork and modify for your own use. You don’t need your contributions committed upstream to be allowed to use your modifications. The beauty lies in that you can do things the author doesn’t want to support. The author is not obligated to accept your changes or support them. You are free to share your fork.

We identified a naive attack on our docs repo. It didn't do anything, except get us to rotate our secrets and revisit the posture of our actions. Many others were similarly attacked, and after we informed @GitHub security, the user account has been suspended.

I have this pair of boots I can't bear to throw away. And every Memorial Day I think about what stains those boots, and my battle buddies & friends that never came home. So today we honor those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice.
An irrelevant metric. As absurd as IBM’s attempt to pay COBOL devs by lines of code.
Ideally you ship 50 lines that are intelligent vs a bunch of AI generated shit.
Just saying, cuz this thinking is gonna fail companies in a big way. They’re already really bad at this.
“nonbinary” is my gender in the same way that people respond “good” when you ask them how they’re doing. it’s like yeah there’s more to it i just don’t feel like sharing all of that with you rn
