calliope

Me too! And I had a similar thought.

My confusion seeing stuff in ~/Projects that I didn’t put there would have been funny. Like “…have you been watching me??”

I actually saw rabbit on the back-end too!

I blame all of the old “is it a rabbit, or a duck?” illusion drawings. Is the lady pretty, or ugly?

Thank you! I was wondering about the context

The real reason they cite is also quite interesting. Twice as many leased electric vehicles are coming to market.

Analysts attribute the surge to a glut of hundreds of thousands of cheap pre-owned EVs that were purchased on leases in the early 2020s and which are now returning to market as those leases expire. According to credit bureau Experian, EVs will account for 15 percent of all off-lease vehicles at the end of this year, up from 7.7 percent in the first quarter.

This reminds me of Coyote Linux, a firewall distribution that I also used to run on a 386 from a floppy disk!

Legitimately was going to say the same thing. Who would ever download this garbage?

The narcissism is embarrassing.

so not very vague at all.

Literally the first sentence is of the definition you posted is vague.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is an international document adopted by the United Nations General Assembly that codifies some of the rights and freedoms of all human beings.

Some of the rights and freedoms? So, yeah, “not very vague at all”.

On the other hand I’ve never made any bones about the fact that I work to develop good products and if someone can make money on that good for them, but I fight for the best design for end users I can.

Your entire comment nailed it for me. Thank you for reading between the lines of my snarky annoyance and expressing it more eloquently.

I also love internal tooling and worked at shitty, bizarre places (General Dynamics, for one. Speaking of “places you’ve never heard of,” right?), and literally the entire reason to work there is to try make it better for the people who use the thing. Not doing that is preposterous to me!

Somehow the original author ignored the only thing I would care about. Or it’s there and I missed it.

If I were a better developer, would I have worked on more products people love? No

There you go, justify your shitty work.

If you were a better person, you would work on better products.

You choose where you work and what you work on. The fact that you went from Zendesk working on a shitty product to Microsoft working on a shitty product is definitely about you.

In fact, a reliable engineer ought to be comfortable working on products people hate, because engineers work for the company, not for users.

“It’s ok that I work at shitty companies! They pay me more”

I turn off notifications for every device I have, other than things like text messages.

I don’t know how people can stand all the badges and stuff.

Ah damn I was fooled by their “make a donation” text

Seems like it, yeah. Free for personal use.

I don’t want to dust the tops of all those pans.

And cast iron usually requires oil after use, which traps the dust even better!

I honestly can’t believe so many people thought Home Alone was about a middle-class family.

No wonder young people are mad. They genuinely seem to believe everyone was wealthy in the 80s!

For some reason my first thought was “whale”

Me: This is an ad, it’s crazy that people will engage in something that’s clearly an ad, they’re feeding right into it. It’s a cult mentality.

You: I hate you!! SCREEEE

You couldn’t have proved my point more. Someone even upvoted you because it was a shot at AI. The cult is so strong you can’t even tell you’re in it.

I’m glad you have an outlet for your impotent rage, but do you have to be so pathetic? Your mental age is showing.

I’ll take pretentious though, because I am better than you.

People will upvote anything if it takes a shot at AI. Even when the subtitle itself is literally an ad.

Codestrap founders say we need to dial down the hype and sort through the mess

The cult mentality is really interesting to watch.

Keep replying! Maybe this is a good honeypot for stupid people. “I hate you!!” Lmao

The Xbox one came after the Xbox 360 and before the current version, the XBox Series X/S.

They really do have the stupidest names.

I’m guessing Wii

Thank you! I was like “who?”
