all dc airports in ground stop due to the tracon having to evacuate their building, seems to happen a lot

never too big to fuck this up

"On April 14, 2026, Apple Business Manager will become Apple Business."

How the fuck am I gonna remember that?!

i have seen a slide from a serious presentation on AI governance at that security conference that is currently happening that features the terms:

“Cognitive Liveness” and “Psychometric Forensics”

Until today i suspect the only times those words appeared together was in one of those autogenerated docker container names.

Oh I had a good one. In the UK, skipping school is known as “skiving” as in “jimmy likes to skive”.

So…. I present “skive mind”

“Let me consult the skive mind”

@dannotdaniel “chode balancer”

@dannotdaniel ooh

how about deadthreading

“i was in a deadthread with this guy”

“meat compute”

best i can come up with is “slopsy proxy”

there needs to be a term to describe the experience of having a conversation with someone who is clearly just pasting things from chatgpt and serving as a human proxy

@ai6yr i like to think of it as ICE holding public feedback forums

my two 3d printers are now at the point where they both have various issues that need to be addressed, so i have come up with a plan:

hotend replacement for printer 1 arrives today

install that and use printer 1 to print a new fan shroud for printer 2

replace fan shroud for printer 2 and hope that does it

a sort of critical path of bullshit

lots of planes are reporting volcanic ash on the portland area feeds

$5.15 gas here in my part of washington thanks to the war started by the no wars and lower gas prices guy

a new thing ive started to do that i would encourage others to partake in is to put on a thick yorkshire accent and say “who the bloody ell is timothee shallow mate?”

i really like this sticker and think i might get it on a tshirt

@nonlinear i have mixed feelings too

have done BIMI for the last few years and mainly i do it so our users (internal and external) have an extra visual indicator that something is lining up with DMARC/SPF - and also just to stand out a bit.

But yeah, it’s expensive and I wish Microsoft supported it as well so I knew most of our customers were seeing the benefit.

every six months or so I get a ping from this recruiter at a local “health system” because they are looking for a ciso and want to know if i’d be interested- and this has been going on for at least 4 or 5 years.

which begs the question- just how awful is the environment if they can’t hold onto anyone for longer than a few months seemingly?

VS Code.

Jetbrains.

Android Studio.

These are the IDEs of March.

Well, today is UK mother’s day.

I said goodbye to my UK mother a couple of years ago, it was all very sad and unexpected and I miss her.

Anyway, if you can, check in on your mom - it’s cliche but you never know when it’s gonna be the last chance you get.

Sorry for the sad post, I shall return to snarky bullshit shortly.

Oh and to clarify, I do not maintain a mother in each sovereign nation in some sort of consulate/embassy type scenario, she was the only one I had.

See, told you it would be shortly.
