I finally made one.. Die Hard Christmas ornament.
Not that difficult to make, you just need some reflective material of some sort, got from KMart.
It has room for improvement, I only have a black and white laser printer, and perhaps it could be smaller. Maybe I'll make more..

I'm sorry, did you forget the last 200 years of technological progress advancing productivity yet leading us to work even longer hours? If we want to work less, we need unions, not tech.
[me releasing a feature] - I'm sure our users will adapt to this UI change we've been building it's not that hard to understand
[me experiencing a slight UI change as a user] - why the FUCK would you put THAT THERE oh my GOD everything is RUINED
Wait, NORAD tracks my sleigh? In real-time?! This is outrageous! I never gave permission for this!
Goodness gracious, all I want to do is break into your houses and leave gifts relative to how good I think you’ve been, which I’ve been tracking meticulously in my book along with your constant whereabouts and sleeping patterns.
The moment a person uses "community manager" or "marketing" as a pejorative is the moment I know they're neither worth my time nor safe to welcome into the communities I serve.
Get the fuck out of here with that kinda thinking.

Well I can't unsee that.
EDIT: Thanks for all the interactions! If you have some spare cash, please donate to my friends in Maui recovering from a wildfire: https://www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/strengthening/maui-strong-fund
Yearly reminder that you don't *have* to do #AdventOfCode
Don't let others make you feel bad for not doing it 🙂
And for those that are doing it? Have fun and learn new cool things!
Le sigh. And now I must recommend Roku Sticks for people who don’t want to drop over $120 on a streaming device and/or want to use said device reliably on captive networks. https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/1/23984444/amazon-fire-tv-autoplay-ads-on-startup

Self promo: gifts + stocking stuffers for folks who refuse to fit in a box.
I make and design enamel pins, patches, stickers, bookmarks and stationery that make great little gifts for Christmas.

Hey, if you're the type of person that can start typing a reply to an argument, then decide that actually it's not worth bothering with and delete the reply, I want you to know:
You're doing fantastic, and you should be proud of yourself. I wish more people had that kind of restraint.
Me, describing developer work estimation industry practice:
> "We start with 'points describe complexity, not time' as a guiding philosophy, and then proceed to describe all estimates in terms of time."
My god. Basecamp/37signals and DHH in particular: what a cesspool of toxic waste ☣️

I don’t need “ai” in my terminal, I’m perfectly capable of typing something that looks plausible but does something completely unexpected myself thanks
Poverty shouldn't exist. For anyone. Ever. Too often I hear 'No one with a job should live in poverty.' True. But let's go further. No one should live in poverty, job or not. Jobs should be a ticket to more than just survival.
Think thriving, not surviving; buying fun, not life.
Wow. https://archive.is/wAt0i, an archived copy of https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-22/nlrb-files-case-against-mozilla-for-not-hiring-labor-activist. This is really what I'm afraid of. And I'm stupid findable on the Web (thanks to not using an alias — that bit me in the ass very fast — like in 2013, but whatever).
I'm hoping Cher wins this case; I'll be following it closely. Especially because I've applied like four times at Mozilla with not as much as a reply if the role was closed or anything. Sidenote, though, I hate the fact that's this idea that we can sign away rights because we have a contract — and that's never clear if it's actually the case. I really am glad she stood up.

I'm seeing someone doing this doubling down of staying with Google's ecosystem and I'll put the one link that made the process simple: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-chrome-firefox

This is a great example of how our minds are terrible at assessing risk because here it’s the same in both cases (until you get to the last platform).
Dungeons and Dragons is a role-playing game that lets you live out such fantasies as:
• Having money
• Making close friends as an adult
• Travelling the world without crippling debt
• Being able to change the world
• Getting better at something with practice
• Getting 8 hours of sleep each night
my biggest criticism about the original Star Wars is that they called it a "Death Star". any evil imperialist organization worth its salt would hire a consulting firm to come up with something like "Liberation Sphere"
I think the real reason our culture stigmatizes children who ask "why" a lot is that most adults are deeply ashamed of how infrequently they actually have good answers.

"You shouldn't project modern gender labels back onto historical figures" OK great! I will no longer be calling them "men" or "women". Those are modern, socially constructed categories of person, and using them uncritically encourages us to assume that past cultures shared our expectations for appropriate gender performance.
