Due to someone on here being a grass I’m going to leave this account and move on to another, posting followers-only from now on.
You’ll be able to stay following me if we (know each other OR you have a non-anonymous account), AND you don’t work in the same company as me. Otherwise you’ll be forcibly ejected.
Thanks whoever did this - you’ve really helped my mental health.

Does anyone have recommendations for EU online suppliers of quality bulk CAT6a cable? Getting to the point in our renovation where I need to think about this, and the CAT7 cable in DE Bauhaus feels... iffy.

“A screenshot (screenshot or video) was detected. For the security of your personal data, we recommend that you do not include sensitive information”.
This isn’t actually helpful babes. Maybe I’m screenshotting it because I need to translate something and your stupid fucking app doesn’t have selectable text?

Walked past a Berlin bar that long ago took payment in Bitcoin in a way that started innocently but quickly edged into cryptononce. It closed soon after that and hasn’t opened since. Thought of @npub1xkg…gph9.

There is new trend of screenshotting and quote posting so that users can’t filter out harmful content, or disable boosts. This is even more egregious than deliberate misspellings of “Twitter” or “Elon” to get around people’s information boundaries. Fucking stop it.

Time to block linuxrocks.social for being a haven for wrongthink warriors. 👋🏻

Today, while bored between meetings, I finally got @npub1hk5…xfvg running in my home system. 🎉
There was a small issue but the contributors there were extremely friendly and helpful. ❤️

@npub16u7…uend is say “criminally abused” there rather than “codependent”. But otherwise yes.

@npub1lwu…6w4j ah, but our place just standardised all Linux users on Ubuntu so they could install one of the other Crowdstrike-type apps. :(

If some Silicon Valley nerd could successfully disrupt calendar invites then I might forgive them collectively.

I just witnessed a generational divide occurring. The scene: a very young cashier is handed a wireless DECT phone by an older colleague.The GenZ looks panicked. He tries tapping the glowing display. It does nothing. He accidentally discovers that the buttons depress, and have a function. He dials. He places the phone near his chin, face up. He talks into it. He is perturbed to discover that the replying voice can only be heard by placing his ear to the phone.
He hands the phone back in disgust.

I just heard some young people describing the 20th century as "the 1900s" and now I wish to strike them.

I just TRAUMATISED my guinea pigs by daring to bring a broom into the same room as them. They were absolutely convinced it was a giant evil hell monster that had come to eat them.
Bungle tried to escape by getting into his hay rack. Idiot.

Got 30 mins today to make one of those ADHD-helper projects - a gentle but insistent pattern for when the washing machine finishes. It won’t go out until I actually empty the wretched beast.

Open Source is fascinating. Imagine a pastry chef who spends all day making pastries at work going home to make pastries in the evening. Imagine them wandering around giving these pastries to others for free. Imagine them finding out their free pastries are a huge part of a local company’s lunch offering. Imagine the company complaining because the chef doesn’t make enough pastries for them. Imagine the chef staying up all night making them more pasties instead of just telling them to fuck off.

USA tech podcasts manage to effectively polarise between Bitcoin grifters living off the grid and people who were rejected from disneyworld for smiling too much.
