lol they just did the fucking space equivalent of "Are you on mute?" to the mission commander #artemis
Mullvad (the company) has "addressed" the donation their co-founder made to a far-right political party, essentially solely funding it. It's not great and basically uses more right-wing excuses to ignore the objections.
I'm done with Mullvad forever.

We are now debating the merits of ordering a 2nd cup via DoorDash versus the minimum amount we’re willing to pay for a Kroger delivery to get more beans
I love all you nerds watching this #artemis live stream with me

The overwhelming suck of Slack is that, regardless of how quickly you respond to messages that assume you are able to act RIGHT NOW, you have mentally triage the messages. It's a context switch whether you actually change tasks or not, and that interruption almost always outweighs any benefit of an instant message.
And no, I can't turn off notifications because "we're a Slack office"
I fucking hate Slack

Oh hey, look, it's me, turning off stuff indiscriminately on a new install and shooting myself in the foot.
Browsers use KDE Wallet to store creds. Who've thunk? (not me, it sounded Web3-ish and got whacked. Oops)
Running Linux for real is going to be my boss-level fight, I swear
This is apparently the time I learn to manage subscriptions better as yet another thing I thought I'd cancelled in fact renewed.
I hate this stupid everything's-a-subscription bullshit. Let me buy your thing. Once. Forever.

tl,dr; U-M and BCBSM are fighting and employees could lose BCBSM coverage July 1

@tasharoni I'm sorry to hear that. This is extra maddening b/c both BCBSM and UM are clearly using employees as bargaining chips in their negotiations which, middle finger to those high-priced suits
Look, if you're last name is synonymous with "asshole", you should put in extra effort to not come across as one
Am I viral now?
If you're just going to throw your LLM slop into a google doc and then toss that copy at me for "review", at least try to remove the most obvious signs you didn't give enough of a shit to actually write it yourself

If you keep saying your project is "building the plane are you're flying it", you need to recognize that something is very, very wrong with your project
Oh fun. If you pause YouTube TV they don't remind you it's going to unpause before billing you. So, that is now _cancelled_ and they can DIAF
Now that's an accomplishment
