And then I’m the one that got a talking to for calling doing so condescending. Not the person talking to me like I’m not human.
No one is brave enough to do a faithful adaptation of Lord of the Rings to any sort of screen. I want to know what Frodo did for the 17 years between Bilbo leaving The Shire and when he left.
Love how it’s now taking me a lot longer to respond to internal briefs because of the massively increased cognitive load of LLM-generated prose.
Just write it yourself, will actually be way more understandable.

Turns out they don’t know “I’m on a boat” and now I’m over here turning into a pile of dust

@owen@mastodon.transneptune.net @ultranurd@tacobelllabs.net I've been waiting for something like this ever since they got VC funding. Then all the recent releases have been almost exclusive AI "features”.
This timeline sucks.
Package that requires a signature is out for delivery. It’s going to show up as soon as I got to the toilet isn’t it

@yaakov@cloudisland.nz Why are they things you can be transferred between and not just the same call centre with priority vs not lines
Really don’t like having to be in the office

@dysfun@social.treehouse.systems Running away from PHP, entirely because it’s so damn hard to get a decent job with it nowadays
Things I need to:
- Learn a more sellable language than PHP (Python? Rust? Go?)
- Update CV
- Maintain a 75% study load
- Work full time
- Parent
Balloon!
Get to explain to work that just because we store data in Australia, using Azure means that it's still subject to US law.
This is going to be "fun”
It’s been three glorious weeks without having to deal with the shitstain on society that is genAI. Sadly just one more week left.
Our car is probably totalled (the car was only worth ~$2k). Everyone's safe and uninjured, but could have really done without needing to deal with this.
I’d prefer the flowers myself
Doing a code review of some slop. I point out issues that could be addressed, slop machine just deletes all their changes instead.

@ambientspace@cloudisland.nz IP is SiteHost’s, so at least the marketing stuff is in NZ.
Though having “Your data stays in NZ" on a page that tries to load Google's tracking crap is suss
Off to get my flu (and hopefully COVID, though I couldn't book that so will depend on availability) jab!

@aardrian And how many of them only existed in custom builds with all sandboxing disabled

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz I like that that also shows another fallacy:
- Postcodes can be treated as numbers

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz Turns out the average postcode doesn’t exist, though 3709 and 3711 both do

@darius@friend.camp @HollyGoDarkly@wandering.shop But what if I don’t like sand because it’s rough and coarse and it gets everywhere?

@freakboy3742@cloudisland.nz @kattni@kattstodon.com I should probably switch to that instead of NOPASSWD

@PetraOleum@cloudisland.nz the current system (http://www.emergencyalert.gov.au) is SMS based and had massive issues with delayed receiving (some as late as 2 weeks) or not being received at all during the 19/20 fire season. Australia also doesn’t require verification of SMS sender ID, so yeah.
The one benefit it has, and the stated reason Queensland aren’t going to use AusAlert, is it can also automatically call landlines.
Replying to
@valorin@phpc.social I can see it being of use for multi-stage reports, where you can then highlight things that have been fixed / need further work more easily.
Are people still receiving AusAlert or is it already doing better with regards to timely distribution than the existing 0444444444 SMS-based system that couldn’t handle the 2019/20 fire season?
Wish I could block all calls from the 0468 block
Get to find out how my teachers handle not being able to get at any of the class content that's store in Canvas today.
Could be a very short class.
Looks like the Linux Kernel is going full un-copyrightable!

@ultranurd@tacobelllabs.net So stop packing tape and use it to stick things together instead
