Sometimes you learn the people who produce products you use are shitty people. Sometimes they give you an opportunity to let them know why you'll never given them another dollar.

@HailsandAles

If you're interested in a recommendation, this has been my go-to for years. It's aggressively hot, but also brings a lot of flavor with the heat.

666/10 - would fear again.

FFS! I forgot to paste the link. 🤣

It's called "Fear the Reaper" and is available from a bunch of online stores. This is just the first I happened to find.

You really shouldn’t call your product “enterprise level” when:

  1. Your product forces us to store cache on the system hard drive rather than letting us choose where to store it.
  2. Your product forces us to install a system module that is 10 years old, no longer supported by its vendor, and refuses to work with any newer, supported version.
  3. Your product is single-threaded when its purpose is to provide gigabytes of data transfer, simultaneously.

Do better. #ux #makebettersoftware

I remember hearing students from enterprise customer orgs raise similar concerns when I stated teaching Windows NT 4.0 classes.

@aeveltstra

This was back in 95 or 96, many years ago. I honestly don't remember what vendor my students were complaining about, but it was the same tune.

Also, apologies for the tone of my original response. My intent was to sympathize and commiserate, not to dismiss or resign...

So much for free speech on X; Musk confirms new users must soon pay to post

The fee, likely $1, is aimed at stopping “relentless” bots, Musk said.

"Unfortunately, a small fee for new user write access is the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots," Musk wrote on X.

I am grateful to this monumental buffoon for helping me more clearly identify a broad cagtegory of bad actor. He's taught me that anyone who says "this is the only way to solve this problem" is an irredemable asshole who must be mercilessly shunned.

NPR suspends veteran editor as it grapples with his public criticism. https://www.npr.org/2024/04/16/1244962042/npr-editor-uri-berliner-suspended-essay

FFS.

"Berliner says he sees the same problems at other news organizations, but argues NPR, as a mission-driven institution, has a greater obligation to fairness."

If you're both-sidsing the truth, you've failed your mission. It's not about being "fair" - it's about reporting the truth.

Three very different cats for #Caturday

Three cats come down the same set of stairs. Maggie, world's softest kitty, announces herself boldly before charging down the stairs. Jane, a dainty tabby, comes down the stairs as gracefully as a supermodel, silent and sleek. Wullie, a chonk black and white tuxedo cat, comes down slowly and cautiously, alert for danger.

@jerzone That's my little Maggie. I am her provider and her nest and she loves me more than her words can say.

Obviously the game evolves and every #NCAA title run over the years has been populated with its own signature talents and performances but, that said, I think we can all agree that the only championship that really mattered was the 2003 Syracuse win.

Winding down after an exhausting day. Jane immediately takes her spot on my lap, while Wullie takes his spot on the couch above me. I can hear Maggie snoring from across the office.

Heirloom rug is THE place to be according to one of our cats. Pet him anywhere else and he’ll dash down the hall to collapse on this rug in hopes you’ll get the hint. Tympanic patting takes it to 11.
