  • There is a difference between “using the proper word that conveys that exact idea” and “fad pidgin”. Hint: “the ask”, “the spend”, “literally” and “emails” are words pushed on us by people with small brains and potentially a used-car sales quota to meet, and not something coming out of proper word use.

    It seems I hate management pidgin that resembles used-car salesman try-hard mimicry.











  • I go to pixelfed to post my art and view other peoples art. that’s it. I don’t go there to read posts or what’s going on in peoples lives.

    Yes but being able to do that is a design goal of the fediverse

    Is it? Beause that seems really dumb.

    Here’s a radical idea: sometimes, web services are built with features you don’t use. Sometimes you don’t even *value *those features. But, in cases where your preference isn’t in the majority, the decision to include those features won’t match your personal preference.

    Sometimes, the ability to share and see content between different sites is even a core value.

    Weird.

    For more information, search “false consensus”.

    You may want to learn how you can configure your own accounts on various services to manage what you see on each one. Because, to some extent, that’s a configuration option.


  • Well it’s going to put a damper on my Ansible “coding”.

    You think I want to properly learn that piece of junk? It was obsolete and archaic before it was released, and it survives on naivete and churn cost and nothing else. There is no part of my time doing yaml for Ansible that I want to actually retain or build on, and without chatGPT to slop-in the changes I need to make, I may be forced to do it myself. And I lack the crayons now and alcohol for after.

    Actually subjecting my brain to Ansible directly in real-time is a horror. It is just so fucking lame compared to everything else – it even pales compared to the DevOps we were doing in 2002 before it was even called that. Let my have my robots to slop the Ansible and save my sanity !
