@jsbarretto Not with that attitude

@jsbarretto
A bit of "save the children" theater

@jsbarretto you're saying that but … my birth certificates have different dates of birth on them ;)

@io
Have the influencers reinvented punch cards again?

@lynnesbian ✨ReactOS Virtual Machine✨

@lynnesbian I loved Ban Me Thout in 67-68. Lush, clean, beautiful countryside and good people.

@mcourcel
Oooooh a new HGTTG! Thank Zork it's raining!

@mcourcel @darac I do feel that if you take a text adventure, even modernised, and can't make it screen reader friendly, you should hang your (collective) heads in shame and be mocked for eternity.

@mcourcel I gotta check this one out!

@soatok yeah, said like a true R(ϑ):=Φ−1(e2πiϑ(1, ∞)) on the mandelbrot of expertise 🙄 /s

I see this at multiple levels, simultaneously.

"You're all idiots and a waste of my time" from tech bros being an all too common example.

But it's also the outsiders and newcomers to a field treating its incumbents as some sort of archmage of intellect. (I promise you I'm just as clueless and confused as the rest of us.)

@soatok One of my personal education theory tenets is that learning is inductive before it can be deductive. As you said, we are Roombas bouncing around multidimensional domains of knowledge. Over time, much is discovered, but there's not guarantee of complete coverage, and it certainly doesn't follow, like, the chapters in a textbook.

@mattgrayyes You can't vote if you're under 18, only register, but it's still something worth doing!

@mattgrayyes @robb

> British citizens living abroad!

This is true, but then your local council (Sunderland) will write to you and tell you that your vote will be sent from the UK “around” the 26th June, and that it has to be back by the 22:00 4th July or it doesn’t count.

That’s 6 working days.

For a non-express letter to get from the UK, to anywhere (Australia), and back.

Good luck with that.

@mattgrayyes I don’t hecking know where my UK passport is, and I left England as a teenager (see I’ve even taken on the Canadianism of referring to the constituent countries!), otherwise I would consider it

@UncleDuke1969 OSHA COMPLIANT!

@UncleDuke1969 any problem can be made worse by two guys from Craigslist with a backhoe

@derwinmcgeary That’s great!

@derwinmcgeary the next loop — pun intended — of psychology is that the un-knotted part of the string is knots in waiting.

@derwinmcgeary And when Kid1 brings home a good report card, don't forget to celebrate with the sound of one hand clapping.

If you're going to mess with their head, better do it good and proper!

@kenbot @jpm see also: design

@kenbot I agree. Mostly.

bad things are always bad. Good are sometimes bad.

@kenbot I make a point of never telling clients ”it depends”. It’s like handing over the responsibility of a hard decision to someone that doesn’t have a clue.
I usually outline the problem, the alternatives and hand them my recommendation. Then they go ahead doing the opposite because they have a gut feeling, but at least I’ve done my part. 😉

@FutzleFiction As brilliant as the gonzo story that inspired it!

@FutzleFiction The white cable-knit sweater gave them away. Who would wear such an item handling garbage?

@FutzleFiction Hah! @sundogplanets

@Packbat I'm going to have a banging game when I move into the assisted living facility.

@Packbat And also murder a lot of people and loot the bodies 😂 Because it is an injustice that somebody else has better gear. /j

@mikeb Saluting these heroes! Not many years now and they will be gone. Let the memories live on.

@mikeb the anarchist chaos hippies seem to be blocking an airport 🤔😅

@mikeb is it odd that my first thought is how remarkable it is that so many wheelchairs emerged from the hold of a Delta aircraft without being mangled

@marcan My team (Chrome WebGL/WebGPU) is very conformance-focused by nature and we have always called them bugs. Occasionally the bugs are in the spec or test instead of the driver, but if a test is failing, there's a bug somewhere.

@marcan Vulkan Portability was a deliberate tradeoff there.

@marcan I would not be surprised if the engineers working at Apple on OpenGL drivers agreed with you.

Claiming that something is supported is often a call made by marketing/salespeople as soon as engineering reports that they cobbled something together that kinda works.

@ElleGray But it's in Comic Sans!

@ElleGray they should install a claw machine without the claw on the side

@ElleGray

Oh, to be passed out slumped next to an empty vending machine on a crinkly bed of shining wrappers, a deeply satisfied lump of human jerky, cured from all the delicious salty snacks, endoscopy tools cradled like a baby in one shriveled arm.😊
I hope theft triples.

Also, something Quincy M.E. would do daily.👍
