In #IT, we’re always preparing for bus fatalities.

Pro tip to middle age dudes: invite people in their 20’s and living their best lives on your summer vacation to feel weak, feeble, and keep you completely humble and aware of the passing of time.

@intothewestaway@mastodonapp.uk @cira@mstdn.ca Done.✅

Vendor: try this gui non terminal tool Me: Does it have dark mode? Vendor: ahhh no but…hello?…

Is it normal to look forward to a work *after* a vacation to reduce my stress and get better sleep?

@sarahjamielewis@mastodon.social VPNs can also ensure the traffic is encrypted and vetted on highly controlled networks. This is common for most corporations and government agencies. The same tools should be available to anyone.

My awesome neighbor asked for assistance to check his kitty for ticks while they secured the knife mitts. Terrifying!

It’s important to establish status and authority in a relationship (so I’m told), but the wife did not favour my suggestion of the steak gravy reduction I made for this evening’s tacos. 🌮 However, she did lick the gravy bowl CLEAN with pieces of the steak separately…so I stand by the fact I was partially correct! +1 point ✅

@EllenInEdmonton@yeg.bike oh snap, that sounds next level!

Just about killed a teenage dashing across the road infront of our car. Had to get out and walk back and yell at their friends that lagged behind while what looked like a group of firefighters near by watched on. I did at one point yell the words, “Do you know their parents?!” We’re all lucky today.

@Jam123@mstdn.ca That has occurred effortlessly…there’s a VCR near by with several “classics”. Any pre Y2K or 9/11 references are wasted at times.

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social @vlrny@disabled.social @futurebird@sauropods.win If stand on a chair can you watch space junk land a week…ahh…nvm

Do not yuck someone’s yum… and visa versa.

@mayintoronto@beige.party It’s the laugh track

RE: https://mastodon.social/@eff/116817044497841517 While in college, circa 1999-2001, just the idea of 3D printers were freaking out large corps. I recall a WIRED article comparing the fear of everyone using Napster to shared Nike shoe files to print at home. 25 years later that fear has yet to manifest… but it always boils down to same argument. We cannot allow common folk to make their own stuff, otherwise they’ll stop being consumers

@harmonycorrupted@kinkycats.org Agree 💯! And we often do not even notice when we do it. Theory from “Mastery” by George Leonard: Your environment homeostasizes too. The people around you are also invested in you staying the same — they may subtly (or not so subtly) pressure you back to your old self. —- As evolved primates we’re comfortable with patterns and routines…when those in the tribe change it immediately unbalances our environment and reference points. Hate that I am quoting another self-help “guru”, but often remember Brian Tracy saying we also hold everyone to their word without the ability for them to change their mind. “But you said this!” “Yes, but I thought about it and I’ve changed my mind,” “But you said THIS!” “Yes, motherf*cker!…but 👏 I’ve 👏 changed 👏 my 👏 MIND!!!” (paraphrasing)

@Mutedog@mastodon.social I know right, im part of the problem

@mattblaze@federate.social Epstein Files no longer a thing though

The heat wave is making me cranky. Need an Earth Suit. I was in a waiting room and irritated by two privileged white women doing that high resister banter back and forth with that passive aggressive tone (“Oh that’s soooo nice…wow….”). It was like listening to a psychotic chess match. I was reading “Oryx and Crake”, by Margaret Atwood… so that might’ve been part of it. :/

@aburtch@shakedown.social leading by example…already historically famous

How is everyone doing getting their circle off Meta going? I am always shocked the "flat earth things" I hear from time to time.

Remember, for efficiency non-approval tickets still need to be approved before the next stage of the ticket to receive the final approval of work that was not needed to be approved.🤔

My offspring just watched and experienced Back to the Future part 2 roughly the same age I was. Having a personal time paradox 🕰️

Paris, IT, surrounded by cutting edge animation… Ce poste est réservé à une personne exceptionnelle ! https://careers.flatchr.io/fr/company/haristudios/vacancy/vyja39j6z3o9lnqw-head-of-it-h-f/ #grizzyandthelemmings #hari #animation

Someone just showed me a shittier (maybe right wing’ish) south park like animations on Meta where they voice over police talking to ppl overwhelmed before arrest. Get it? See funny? 😬

Sometimes Skynet is funny. Was trying to find a punk band and this beauty was served to me 🤖 I have a few questions.

@augieray@mastodon.social Nobody wants to talk about it, but I do.

@governa@fosstodon.org And gov’t waste will be resolved….and there will be self driving taxis….and Cybertruck was going to be amazing with breakproof windows….

I will be drinking 50% less US alcohol I’m currently drinking….0%

@controlc@mstdn.ca This is upsetting :/ Looking into pihole setups

My predecessor’s birth name was actually Ricky.

So when I’m updating his old code… I am in fact changing “Ricky Ol’ Code”.

@chad@mstdn.ca someone that checks when sunset is and confident they can make it

@jwcph@helvede.net It’s time they splurged on another stand!

@jim_easterbrook@mstdn.social Only if you can handle the sun that is the pure white background provided.

This is your Tracy Chapman moment!

Boycott vibes be strong up here. 🍺🍷 🥃 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/us-booze-bans-canadians-9.7300293

Went to a parade today. It was hot. The building shadow was deeper into the street so viewers were off the sidewalk and standing on the road. I may have instinctively stopped a toddler from toddling into a floater vehicle b/c Mom was on her phone. And this was in part b/c the father before hand was on the sidewalk chirping at his family that they were not suppose to be part of the parade. Yeah, don’t be NPC… get involved fam!

heard it’s going to warm toda…. 🫠

Watched a Chatlie Kirk doc on Tubi (spoiler…political violence is nothing new in *some* countries….social media just enhanced it) :/

@intothewestaway@mastodonapp.uk @cira@mstdn.ca Tried a few browsers on ios… not loading for me.

just heard from someone with good authority (in their voice) that Renee Good deserved to die for driving into a highly trained ICE agent and they’re not concentration camps, they’re holding facilities. It’s b/c I watch and listen to the far left media. 🤷‍♂️

@Daojoan@mastodon.social whoa first reading about this!

Our technology has solved everything and …oh, just a sec, the music changed. #scifirules#hashtaggames

@thomaswm@mastodon.social 🤘

@Timpostma@mastodon.world mostly family... I worry.

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net browser must be very flattered! (you know....b/c Chrome just stole all their ideas for tab splitting and stacking....)

@futurebird@sauropods.win THIS! Very niche but there was a popular forum for Mainframes in the early 2000s that had that cranky variety saying exactly that from dudes (always) that started in the ‘70s and annoyed a new generation out of college would post a simple question. There were even cranky users on Stackoverflow that were trying to police ppl posting questions there. As a protest to this I had started and volunteered at a blog and created a usergroup on Zuckernet and both these places had crazy high traffic despite lacklustre posting. I ended up owning then closing both for various reasons. However the lesson was not lost on me. Where a community is denied, an opportunity for community is created.

I'm tempted to pretend to be a Talent Acquisition Manager for Talent Acquisition Managers and ping and message every Talent Acquisition Manager that pings and messages me to see who is a bot / h@c|<3r / and to see if they're happy in their current Talent Acquisition Manager position.
