@alexandra once you access the control panel there are notification dots on the “OneDrive”, “Rewards”, and “Web browsing” icons. the calls to action are, respectively, “get a onedrive account”, “get a microsoft account for some nebulous ‘rewards’ system”, and “make edge your default browser”. they all have the same notification UX as security-critical windows updatesit’s so sleazy

the world is changing.people around you are going to pretend it’s not.schools are going to force students and teachers back into the classroom, employers are going to force their employees back into open floor plans (+ HEPA filters so it’s okay!) without realizing the horses have bolted for anyone who is passionate about working from homethey are going to deny and say things are impossible and mistake obstinacy for leadershiprun screaming from these people, they are *already in the past*

your coworkers are not and cannot be your friendsyour coworkers are just people that happened to have been hired at the same corporate enterprise. it’s not that they’re untrustworthy, it’s simply that they can’t be trusted by virtue of your organizational relationshipkeeping your work/life balance extends to sharing the right parts of your life with the right peopleit may feel like you’re wearing a mask at work, but just like the pandemic, it’s for everyone’s protection

i just think it’s strange it’s been a month since log4shell and the FSF has not said a single word about iti would love to hear their thoughts about what small, underfunded teams of people working on open source should do when the entire internet is breathing down their neck to fix a vulnerability and if its wise to continue proselytizing a world view that can’t put food in the mouths of people who love writing software

@brandon then once you get it working and decide to mod it a bit, the game launcher you didn’t want and don’t need pulls down gigabytes of new updates without your permission and ruins your setup

if you’re curious what the FSF *does* do, especially with the e.g. 1.6 million dollars of expenses they incurred in 2019, the answer is “nothing”: https://blog.snowfrost.garden/2/

This “people can’t keep working in their pajamas” shit is not only completely tone-deaf but insidiously offensiveThe people who have multiple houses, private jets, no-limit company cards, yachts, and penthouse suites want is to believe that PAJAMAS are a decadent luxury that is simply beyond the pale Fuuuuuuuck you

It’s so easy to forget so here I am reminding myself againThe fact that I have - a roof over my head- clean water- safe, sanitary food- access to medical services- stable and disposable income- leisure time for personal pursuitsputs my existence on par with a level of luxury completely inaccessible to nearly every human aliveand unfathomable to nearly every single human who has ever lived and diedIt’s so easy to forget

The confidence with which ChatGPT or whatever spews incorrect responses only reinforces my contention that talking to an AI trained on the collective output of the Internet is no different than posting a question on Reddit

i can’t wait for spacex to blow up another generation of astronauts and the next generation’s hopes of legitimate discovery and exploration in space, and then when people point out that privatizing space flight has the same problems as federal programs, to be admonished for politicizing whatever tragedy occurred

Friendly reminder that starting your posts with “friendly reminder” is obnoxious and cookie-cutter as fuck and you can just say the thing you want to say without pretending to be some kind of memory-fueled egg timer

The hacker news defense for AI datasets containing CSAM seems to be “well it would be impossible to vacuum up the world’s content regardless of license or legality and *not* include a little child abuse!” which is quite possibly the worst defense I’ve ever heard of anything
