I am a documentation writer at my day job. I spend an obscene amount of time writing and rewriting support materials for our software to make sure the instructions are as clean as possible. The end users of the software are busy doctors and nurses so I get why they dont have time to read and just want quick answers from our support team. I get that.

What I dont forgive is how many times the support team will complain to me that a scenario or a feature isnt in the documentation, despite me bolding, bullet listing, and highlighting THE EXACT THING THEY ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. I usually relink it to them and screenshot the relevant section.

People. Do. Not. Read.

If someone’s gonna cut out a person out of their lives because of the choice of their phone, you’re better off without that person in your life.

Sure, but one person’s shovelware is another person’s cherished childhood. We should preserve what’s been created as much as reasonably possible, simply for the record.

Bro you’re doing more than most of us, thank you.

But yeah, our carbon footprint is minuscule in comparison to corporate footprints. We need them to fucking play ball.

What’s more profitable: Exceptional profits for 30 years until civilization collapses, or sustainable profits forever?

I’ve had that happen before when I used to work at Arby’s.

First customer of my shift, and this monster pays for a regular roast beef sandwich entirely in pennies. It was roughly 450~ pennies. I was ready to murder.

The difference is, though, if you care enough, you have the capability of finding out what’s in the code, the only limiters at that point are yourself

In closed source, you just have to trust the publisher and developers

haha yeah that song

do you uh happen to have a link

nono, I want to watch it ironically, my interest absolutely wasn’t piqued by “anime thighs”

No matter what your source of information is, you always have to be mindful and take information in context, and be sure to validate unproven claims. There’s a thousand interests competing for your attention and loyalty, and a lot of it is driven through fear and uncertainty.

Any fearmongering about China makes me uncomfortable, as it should every rational thinking person. Just like fearmongering against everyone should be viewed with suspicion.

Be careful out there, everyone. It’s a wild jungle.

Real shit, right here

I was never a hardcore Reddit user, just a casual scroller, and I have to say, with the Connect android app and after subscribing to a few communities, my experience has largely been the same. It’ll be better when/if more people migrate over I feel like, but in terms of the actual experience, it’s already slightly improved from Reddit.

Other than the occasional bugs, but anything getting stress tested is going to experience growing pains, and it’s kind of charming. Like, new mmo launch charming. :D

The Road goes ever on and on, Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.

RIP RIF.
