@greenfrogg@mas.to but doesn’t the whole thing about sports fans having travel permits revoked prove that we don’t have visa-free travel to the US anyway? So what do we have to lose here?

@acallegaro@mas.to I use RSS nearly every day, via Current from @tg@indieweb.social. It has returned the delight to the Internet.

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com I wish. I’d use it for screen shares on boring meetings, so people would wonder why I’m running on MacOS 9 or something.

@psf@oldbytes.space oof. This is Conway’s Law writ large, I think. I had noticed this, thank you so much for sharing.

@debby@hear-me.social I don’t really want any AI solutions. So if the price of using something I don’t want is something that I don’t want to do, there we are then.
Replying to
@debby@hear-me.social oh, so I need to scan my ID to use AI. This isn’t going to go the way they want.

@html5test this is utterly ridiculous and I am fully here for it. Thank you for sharing, I am now giggling gently at my phone.

@Gingeh@tech.lgbt I love this, thanks for sharing. Might be my new Teams background if that’s OK.

@danirabbit@mastodon.online this is such good advice. I’m quitting Azure and AWS and moving to @beasts@social.mythic-beasts.com as soon as I can.

@Alice@beige.party did this the other day looking for instructions on how to transcribe a video I didn’t want to have to sit through again…
I mean, I could make it up. But it’s a shame that I don’t have to.

@JauntyArt@crispsandwi.ch this has properly made me laugh. What a wonderful idea, thanks for sharing.

@lurkjay@mastodon.social I think I’ve got a new user picture, if that’s OK with you. Thanks for sharing.

@yetiinabox I *wish*. Always wanted one, wanted NextStep when that ran on PCs but couldn’t afford it. These days I just dream.

@MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk shan’t lie, my current plan is to hope that Reform deport me to Scotland.

@Pikapods Substack are evil. I actually don’t even read good content there any more. Just nope. Thank you for going this great work.

@Nonilex@masto.ai mayhap a silly question, but that amount looks significant to me. Or am I missing something?

@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems agreed. Most of my most successful projects have started with me writing the documentation for what I want. By the time code comes around it’s mostly implementation of the pre-thought documentation.

@fesshole@mastodon.social I once shared that I had appeared in a women’s lifestyle magazine as a male model. It caused much hilarity. One colleague laughed so hard at that that he had to be excused, and then admitted that he’d never be able to look at me the same ever again.
The sad fact is that it is actually true.

@rmondello@hachyderm.io thanks for sharing. I feel something similar, and it’s awful. I hand-coded an app for my wife to use, and actually enjoyed creating something. But the rest of what I do feels similar. And I too am sad about how an industry I’ve worked in my whole life is turning into something else. Something without a space for me.
