Sometimes you win by eating more fiber

Me too, I have also refused job offers to places that don’t allow Linux on the workstations.

I was joking too. 😅

If anyone hasn’t learned how tariffs work by now, they are choosing to be ignorant.

Tariffs are paid by the importer so it will just make your feeds more expensive to import to your device.

I don’t think anyone suggested that you add the .env symlink to the index. It should be ignored by git.

When they dropped sms support I was no longer able to convince people to migrate to signal.

Before I could make the argument that you need one sms app anyway so that app might just as well be Signal instead of the one that comes preloaded with your phone. That way people would gradually get more and more secure messaging as time went on. When sms support was dropped, Signal could not replace an existing app and adding another messing app is much less appealing than replacing one.

Imagine playing golf your entire life and not giving up when your game sucks this bad.

Not driving when you feel that you cannot do it safely is a mature decision. Driving is not a requirement for a good life.

They said, should you want to continue to drive, drive like a granny and don’t let anyone stress you to get out of your comfort zone. Driving like an old granny is the safest way to drive. If you need to drive slow to feel in control that is what you should do. Ignore any ass hat that gets stressed behind you. If they honk or try to force you to speed up, just ignore them. Go at your own pace. The same goes for any passenger in your car that tries to get you to speed up or go out into a crossing before you are certain you are on top of things. Ignore them or throw them out. When you drive, you decide what is a safe speed. Everyone else can fuck off.

There was an EU rule about ten years ago that stipulated that rear lights are no longer mandatory in daylight. The reasoning being to save on fuel. Which is a ridiculous reason, even more so with today’s LED lights.

I don’t know about other EU countries but this was the reason that Sweden removed the requirement. All cars in Sweden used to have the rear lights turned on at all time, even if the light switch was in the off position, but that changed around the same time.

It used to be mandatory with always on rear lights in Sweden (you couldn’t even turn them off). But an adaptation to EU rules removed that requirement. 😓

That makes a lot of sense actually.

I never understood the benefit of this. You need to go backwards at some point regardless.

Their eCommerce platforms are not changing from a technology perspective. They are raising their prices. There is no technology related news here.

Death By Snu Snu

I have a great boss that knows that whatever I decide to do is probably the right priority. As long as our users are happy she is happy.

Is it quicker to fix it then to get the issue triaged? Just fix it and move on.

Since they specified “falsely” does that mean that there is legitimate witchcraft going on?

The main difference between an airfryer and traditional convection oven is less space to heat (i.e heats up quicker) and the heat is on all the time. A conventional convection oven will cycle the heat on and off. So yeah, the same core technology, but with different tradeoffs.

They disappeared for a reason. It was a crappy gimmick.
