@arestelle@dice.camp @ascentale@sfba.social @streetmeme@cycle.town @bikenite@fedigroups.social that's where a foldable bike comes in handy. I've stowed mine folded up in a corner or used it half-folded as a shopping cart, but if they can't handle even that then I won't frequent the shop.

@pattykimura@beige.party @inthehands@hachyderm.io absolutely! My degree is in English, http://monkeynoodle.org/2018/08/25/english-degree-tech-career/ and my role is not one that rewards form training http://monkeynoodle.org/2024/12/28/where-do-product-managers-come-from/ — but getting access to good entry level people becomes impossible once HR gets big enough to really control hiring

@ascentale@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social #BikeNitePQ crashed my bike and broke my collarbone, apparently it’s very common for cyclists. Any stories to share or advice about recovery?

RE: @matdevdug@c.im

“The platforms couldn't acknowledge that they needed governance because acknowledging it would mean acknowledging responsibility, and acknowledging responsibility would mean acknowledging liability, and acknowledging liability would mean the entire economic model collapses.”

@paulrickards@mastodon.social but you see, that’s “a navigation structure that puts the most important content in focus”

@nickheer@c.im yeah, but why are you plugging the phone into the computer at all? Sounds like you’re trying to use old iTunes Match or something, I mean I guess it technically still works, but surely you’d be happier with Apple Music and never plugging in again! /s

@lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social and you don’t even get the correct image after you follow the instructions, it’s just pixel art of a furry convention

@williampietri@sfba.social very thorough takedown! I've taken some stabs at the code development part as well (http://monkeynoodle.org/2023/05/07/get-the-developer-out-of-the-way/) but I like your addressing of customer support as failure demand

Get the developer out of the way!

I’d be so much more productive if I could get rid of this other person who keeps asking hard questions about exactly what I mean and exactly what I expect! Just make the spaceship go to Mars, okay?…
