I’ve never understood the “slim” thing console makers have been doing.

“Behold! Our latest game system!”

six months later

“Behold! The system we should have made in the first place!”

I can understand why so many programmers suffer from imposter syndrome.

I know more about SSH than anyone I know, but I still read articles like this and think, “SOCKS proxy. Huh. I don’t actually know what either of those words mean.”

Before anyone jumps in to educate me on what SOCKS is (please do though!), my point is that through my entire career in tech, I’ve always read articles and had to skim over terms and acronyms that I didn’t know, unless I wanted to fall into a ten-hour rabbit hole of learning, where I ultimately feel totally overwhelmed and not sure I’m actually smarter than when I woke up this morning.

Seems like an interesting article, but for me to fully grasp it, I’d need to read like six other articles, which I can’t do during my morning coffee/mindless scroll time.

I’ve taken the approach of learning through osmosis. I’ll regularly read articles that I don’t fully understand, assuming that I’ll eventually gain a better understanding of whatever topic I’m reading about over time.

I don’t remember Trump ever supporting the vaccine, and I don’t remember his followers ever getting it.

Oh no according to tiktok (so you know it’s true), he was saying itsumi, which is apparently Japanese for “Super”.

To be fair, Afghanistan was actually involved in the 9/11 plot, unlike Iraq.

What I’m still struggling with is if it’s still ok with my mortal compass to use Reddit to find information I know will be there. Specifically, product reviews.

I’m no longer contributing content on Reddit, and I’m not passively browsing either, but how do y’all feel about tapping reddit’s wealth of information?

Thanks for the ideas! I was just trying to sharpen scissors the other day and was using a chef’s steel. Didn’t work. What bit would you recommend for something like that?

I just use mine to sand things. I guess I’m not very creative.

I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong, but I’m using sync and I’m not seeing any ads at all.

I also have DNS66 through f-droid though…

Thanks for this! Love his writing. Just pledged for the audiobook on Kickstarter.

My wife is of the opinion that a lot of these policies are being designed to make her work environment miserable. One of the main perks of that job is that two of her close friends also work there. The chef recently instituted a policy that the three of them are not to be scheduled on any shifts together because they “talk to each other too much”.

This shift switch approval policy is new. Before, any shift swich had to be logged in a book, with both employee’s initials. Now, the manager also needs to approve the shift change, and she’s wanting to know why the change is requested, before she decides if she thinks it’s important enough to allow.

It’s a person with .0001 oz of power, trying to get the most out of it.

I see what you’re saying, but we’re not talking about requesting a paid personal day. We’re talking about having you’re shift covered by another person, and having that denied because management doesn’t like the reason you want the shift covered.
