Language is an imperfect, incomplete, and low-bandwidth serialization protocol for the internal data structures we call thoughts.

Most #BetterTech movements:

"Ooh, there is sooo much wrong with #surveillancecapitalism and #bigtech .. hop onto our Zoom call and Slack channel, or read all about it on our tracker-infested website. Join the movement. Gmail us now. Time to act, NOW!"

@thor fyi: i don't know about norway, but in germany you'd have to notify him that he's being recorded. you may get fucked by the law otherwise.

@lupyuen nice, thanks for the link :)

aaand i now see it, right at the bottom of the articles.. i could've looked more carefully :)

@lupyuen is there a rss feed for your articles somewhere? would be really nice to have :)

Opened 18 Jira tickets at work today, neatly tucked into a single Epic. My team's Backlog is now almost complete.

Lord Cthulhu, I hate that freaking Agile vocabulary. 🤦‍♂️

How about: we have a metric shit ton of work for the next two weeks, people?

tinfoil covid shitpost 

china created covid to sell more protective gear!

@swiley the problem is, we don't have a say in it for most parts. it's a democracy-simulation most of the time..

was a bit hesitant to upgrade to 4 but it went flawlessly. many small qol fixes, really nice :)

@ulintl .. abgesehen vom ende ein guter kommentarartikel. die geschichte mit "ich war auf dem eis, hahaha!11" finde ich verfehlt. das riskiert im zweifel einfach nur das leben von rettungsdienst/feuerwehr die ihn dann da rausfischen _müssen_ wenn doch was schiefgeht. spaß kann man ja haben, aber nicht auf kosten anderer bitte.

Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦‍♂️

PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE

And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)

Boost if I'm right.

@mdrights i don't especially like it either, but the folks who've built it have had some good ideas imo: jsnover.com/Docs/MonadManifest

@pants

thanks for the replies, i sometimes forget that not every instance allows large posts :)

- i understand your point regarding dark humor, but it's difficult to declare what's ok and what isn't. apart from some dadaist jokes, the majority of jokes are about things which _could_ hurt someone.

- i like to believe that discussing especially with people you don't agree can have very good results for everyone. just finding people who are able to do that is hard. telling someone "you are shit" isn't likely to change an opinion, that's why i don't like shaming.

- you can hate ideas, of couse! i'd say that hating groups is hating people though, and i'd _really_ like to see less of that.
