good on you for thinking ahead. what a shit show.

Been on unpaid leave for six weeks until next year, as a prerequisite to not quitting. I’ll start in a new department. The old department sucked.

Yesterday I got The Call. Tomorrow they have a big presentation, possibly with monetary consequences, and certain things don’t work. You know, 10y tech debt ‘suddenly’ being a problem. So I said fine, I’ll come in to talk about it.

I told them I can try to reimplement the whole module in Python and I might actually finish in time (36h notice or so). Ex boss wanted to stick with the thing that ‘works’, so I left. He didn’t think I could do it, so we’re not even trying.

Had a talk with the caller and told him what happened. He said fine, guess we’ll just fall on our faces, then. We’ve done our part.

It’s king now, and most of the world is proudly independent.

Like the dead don’t realize they’re dead, they don’t realize they’re stupid. They’re just everyone else’s problem.

Also, Windows is catching up on the breaking of things, while Linux has improved dramatically. At least some distros are incredibly stable.

Also fun: chuffed. It’s a contronym!

Beware temporal distortion field!

For some it’s an accident, inspiration for others: the unexpected origin of Raygun.

I had GPM and never got YTP. Switched o Tidal becuse YTM keeps repeating songs. I’ve had a song go 6 times in sequence.

So, shitty product, shitty support (see blackmail video claims), shitty creator compensation. Goodbye Google.

Except the lands were already fucked by then.

Spunch?

Even if, did they think prices would just stay the same? Tariffs only work if production is moved back home, which for many industries won’t happen, which means costs will be passed on to consumers.

Wait those are walnuts??

Lime nut? 🍋‍🟩 🥜

I heard biology branches out.
