When I was in my early twenties I read The Visual Display of Quantitative Information from Tufte and agonized over making charts great for users.

Well, first you need two bottles of industrial lube, a goose, and a bag of pretzels.

@europlus @thomasfuchs @db Ah, clearly I am behind on this story…

@zachery_delong @thomasfuchs “They” seems to be doing a lot of work in that sentence.

I suppose this could be a case of malicious compliance, though, by people forced to use a chatbot for everything – a cry for help.

@fahrni thank you for that link. i was wondering how Tim was involved with any of this @thomasfuchs

[tipoqueno@mastodon.social]

@thomasfuchs literally yesterday I found that domain (learn.microsoft.com) and out of curiosity just clicked: in the first second I got a vídeo with an AI generated character, and closed that tab. Enshittification at its best.

@fahrni
I was just going to post that version - it's stuck in my memory. I can't tell why they even tried to change it? What led to this crazy fuckup? Who ok-ed it?

@thomasfuchs When did they release this? And what's Tim up to? I guess he's past the top of the chart? I have enough trouble understanding these when they are well formatted, but um, what's Tim doing up, and arrows pointing down?

@thomasfuchs even gitflow is too complicated for most projects, and that doesn't even involve morging

@thomasfuchs I've always wondered how plumbuses were made

[ireneista@adhd.irenes.space]

@thomasfuchs yeah.... we think it's like fashion, people who see it may appreciate it in passing but it's only really worth the effort if it also makes us happy to do

[ireneista@adhd.irenes.space]

@thomasfuchs since clearly it isn't going to be rewarded in conventional ways, heh sigh

@nygl @thomasfuchs

I think it's a haiku and they wanted to stretch the sillable count so they made up a word. It's a mood thing, a-la jabberwocky.

Bugfix from rel, branch

Continvoucly morged back

into development

[gunstick@mastodon.opencloud.lu]

@jal @thomasfuchs he is contivoucly morging.

[gunstick@mastodon.opencloud.lu]

@bplein @thomasfuchs as you can see, Tirm is the time traveler going back in the git history.

[h_offen@nrw.social]

@thomasfuchs first time I committed the feedback form over there. Like really, wtf‽ Hopefully it will be read by an actual person not another stupid micro$lop AI agent.

[gunstick@mastodon.opencloud.lu]

@elithebearded @lmorchard @thomasfuchs from rnicrosoft we learned that his name is Tirm

[h_offen@nrw.social]

@thomasfuchs if I were @nvie I'd partner up with an attorney specialised in copyright and sue the f**k out of them

@thomasfuchs appears to have been silently replaced within the last ~10 minutes, i just opened the page again to grab a screenshot and there's a new diagram where that one was

[ariels@hachyderm.io]

@gunstick @elithebearded @lmorchard @thomasfuchs I believe it was Dorian Gray who invented the "timn-sequence diagram" we all use today.
