It is.

You work for who pays you.

Ah yes, the world, long known for its lockstep dance of harmony.

Besides the cardinal rule of emergency management reporting, “go where the people are” It’s important to keep up to date with the capabilities and limitations of your lines of communications.

Solar activity can effect radios, storms can effect satellite feeds, and not taking into account policy changes can bump you into rate limits.

This was a failure of the social media team to calibrate during a feature change that came unexpectedly.

This could be a chance to use this bad press on Twitter to pressure then into exempting public good type accounts.

I work in disaster management.

First rule is you go where the people are

I couldn’t possibly begin to disprove or prove that.

What I can say is we have decently strong childhood labor laws which other developing countries do not, and that fact is exploited to drive down costs and increase profits.

imwillofficial··on US Army Physical Fitness Test: Normative Data on 6022 Soldiers (1994)
No it isn’t. It’s x/99.

Also, it’s 35 today, but waivers are often granted and standards have changed throughout the years.

Lowest I’ve seen was 18.

It’s fit for purpose. I make more than my local SDF. The members are under funded, under trained, and volunteering their time unpaid.

I see it as altruistic giving back to the community.

As for “fork and knife school”, I don’t need my JAGs as fit as I need my infantry.

This is the actual amount stuff costs when not using babies to assemble.

I’m cool with it

this is why nobody likes you Microsoft.

I despise this buzzword.

Thanks!
imwillofficial··on VisionOS developer docs and Vision Pro SDK
Both are wildly successful in their niche markets.

iPhone is a different class of market completely, not everyone needs a TV media center, everyone needs a phone.

I feel apple is better on this play to be more like the Mac or iPhone, than AppleTV or AppleWatch

imwillofficial··on VisionOS developer docs and Vision Pro SDK
But not the same information.

Those were both ancillary platforms meant to augment their main platform, computing.

This is different, this is a potential replacement for their core products.

So wait, what was the last system?

Oh I bet they will
imwillofficial··on How to spot cult leader personalities
The author sounds like he has some jealousy issues to get sorted.

I found the last section shocking. Wanting to joust, jealous of this personality type? That’s.. really strange.

imwillofficial··on Blizzard developers say return-to-office policy 'cost us some amazing people'
This assumes RTO is a top motivator for the best.

I’ve seen no data to support that.

imwillofficial··on Why are so many young Americans adopting fake British accents?
Don’t give them ideas!
imwillofficial··on Wikipedia user edits over 90k uses of “comprised of”
This is stupid, and exceeded subjective.

The original usage is absolutely fine.

This was a pretty terrible article. Despite the interesting factoid it was a slog to read.
imwillofficial··on Whistleblowers are the conscience of society, yet suffer gravely
- I worked for CSIS and currently work for the CIA as an NOC Agent. AKA a spy.

Bro this is Reddit tier lying.

imwillofficial··on Whistleblowers are the conscience of society, yet suffer gravely
That’s not how it works. Some random contractor doesn’t know all the code names to all relevant projects.

You should ask yourself more often “is there a reason they did it they way they did” before offering smug suggestions.

imwillofficial··on Freud as Talmudist
I don’t buy the whole “your spine is out of place” line they sell, but for acute pain relief, it’s really great.

I saw diminishing returns when done weekly though.

imwillofficial··on Freud as Talmudist
As somebody with a jacked up spine, chiropractic care has its place. Alongside a doctor’s treatments, physical therapy, etc..
imwillofficial··on 1Password to Add Telemetry
This is exactly what I want in my password manager.
