Grrrrr! Trying to get payment from a US vendor. Their form wouldn't submit unless I had a US phone number.
Thank fuck for Google Voice!
Oh, and it's a good thing that I remembered "my" zip code is 90210.
Why don't Americans accept that the rest of the world exists?
(Rhetorical question. Doesn't actually require you to explain anything.)
Moments I lean towards "there's probably a greater than average degree of autistic traits in this brain": obsessing over making sure I have exactly the right process for making enchiladas — a dish firmly in the "pinch of this, splash of that, cook until it's done" category.
If I end up leaving tech, it's 100% going to be the people that does it. And the industry as a whole, but I definitely stay in spite of that. I'll probably leave when I realize that the majority of tech will use every and any in favor of capitalism (and their own platform). (https://jacky.wtf/2023/5/aEyb)
Facebook got sued for failing to preserve user privacy.
The lawsuit's settlement administrator subsequently sent out non-secure HTTP links to collect user's private information.

it seemed like a good idea during lockdown because I was at home anyway and I already memorized my card number but then lockdown started to lift and I had to physically hand my car to people at restaurants and places and that… became a problem
‘The whole thing stinks’: UK water firms to pay £15bn to shareholders as customers foot sewage bill - https://theguardian.com/money/2023/may/20/the-whole-thing-stinks-uk-water-firms-to-pay-15bn-to-shareholders-as-customers-foot-sewage-bill it's simple: no dividends until the infrastructure is upgraded, and no price rises. if investors don't like it, they can move elsewhere.
investors do not have an inviolable right to dividends; the public does have a right to rivers and seas without sewage - if companies can't do this, nationalise them
My 7yo ADHD baby: I don’t remember where I put my toothbrush I just had in my hand 3 secs ago.
Same kid: You told me 8 Mondays ago at 4:11 pm that we could go to target today. I remembered because I was wearing a blue shirt with 3 buttons and you was eating two grapes.
Train stations in the UK each have 3 letter codes. For instance Kings Cross is KGX and Leeds is LDS. What's the best journey you can do in 3 letter codes?
HIP ➡️ HOP (Highams Park to Hope, Derbyshire)
SKI ➡️ SEA (Skipton to Seaham)
BUY ➡️ HAT (Burley Park to Hatfield)
EGG ➡️ HEN (Eggesford to Hendon)
TIP ➡️ TOP (Tipton to Topsham)
TOO ➡️ HOT (Tooting to Henley-on-Thames)
TAT ➡️ TOO (Tattenham Corner to Tooting)
This afternoon I've been playing with an idea: adding OpenTelemetry to IaC tools (e.g. Terraform here) to get a visual insight into what takes the most time to provision.
Here you can see TF needs to call CreateFunction four times before the IAM role becomes consistent
pretty much everyone is traumatized by the pandemic, and unfortunately instead of sitting with their feelings some people get mad at anyone who reminds them that covid still exists
A lesbian cisgender women is escorted out of the women’s bathroom by police because a Karen called the cops on her think she was a man.
Bathroom transvestigations are only about enforcing gender conformity. Nothing else.
This was a bathroom full of cisgender women, invaded by male police to take a cisgender woman out of the women’s bathroom because she wasn’t wearing womanly enough clothes.
It has nothing to do with biology.
There’s no such thing as a “short woman”. They are just women. The majority does not need an extra label.
There’s no such thing as a “straight woman”. They are just women. The majority don’t need an extra label.
Y’alls brains are made out of actual penzoil sludge istg
I feel like any discourse that begins with “just abandon x state” is literally conceding territory we should make the fascists bleed for.
Like why abandon whole states and the people in them to fucking fascists? That just emboldens them and costs us people.
Put simply:
Yeah. We wanted to rescue but it’s really hard to do here in Michigan compared to down south. We also had a weight limit in mind too. I could not be happier. 💖💖💖
People who are disabled, immunocompromised, or high risk deserve joy too. And they have every right to express their anger when they are excluded from participating in joyful activities in public spaces due to lack of community care.
A threat by a thug against a woman journalist broadcast to his 140 million devotees. When he tweeted it, there were 53K views within 11 min. Now, there are one million views. Don't think it's a threat? Google "swatting."
Swatting is a federal crime for good reason. This is so irresponsible

It's easy to forget in the moment how transient much of the internet is. After being bought by Snapchat and abandoned, Gfycat's certification has expired with nobody around to bother to renew it. Just like that, a vast chunk of the internet is gone.

I have an entry from July 2003 in my private journal that is titled “ADHD” and is just one line:
Could this be what I have? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/24/2355245
