As someone quite familiar with human-run project management and Scrum, I believe parent was posting quite facetiously.

Other way around. The masses aren’t interested in force-multiplying tools. They only want to buy force-eliminating tools. They don’t want to work smarter or harder. They don’t want to work at all.

I want an iPhone Mini-sized iPhone again.

I busted out my old 4S, and the fit//finish,, materials, and just how nice it is to hold in your hand and operate are still really nice. Would love to fill it with modern guts.

You think human-created music is immune to stream fraud?

… because of stream fraud.

Someone had to. ;)

They’re tab-completion with extra cognitive-load steps.

Where’d this approach to “groupthink” come from? Did you formulate this all on your own?

ETA: obligatory: /s

A python script to flip and walk quote-skeet meme threads on bsky with the object of visualizing them non-linearly.

It was definitely a deliberate choice. :)

The proletariat has the capacity to violently resist (See: Butler,PA), but the Venn overlap among those with the most firepower and those who actually support the oppressors is two concentric circles.

The day Kilmar Abrego Garcia was supposed to be brought back, but defiantly wasn’t.

There doesn't have to be. No reason to gatekeep it. Anyone doing investigative work, and publishing their findings in a structured way qualifies as a journalist. In fact, the more journalists there are speaking truth to power, the more we all benefit.

I believe that’s under:

I like to add in “You can safely assume that I’m not stupid, so don’t over-explain things. If I have questions I need answered, I’ll ask them.”

It’s literally the reference I was making. :)

I moved to Juneau mostly via USPS. It was fairly inexpensive.

It helped a bit that my apartment was directly above the Auke Bay PO.

<notes_emoji> Let’s go back to a website!

Not as much since Elon’s bribery lost in Wisconsin. Even the SSA is denying that rumor: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/04/15/ssa-using-x-communica...

Yes. And a vanilla soy latte is a three bean soup.

> Not because they made a mistake

Except they did make a mistake: trusting their Simulated Intelligence (I’m done calling it “AI”.) with their customers’ trust.

> … that they don' even paint for you

Of course. That way they can sell you the official paints.

Fortunately, it seems they’ve dropped that you’re required to use the official paints if you want to enter a sanctioned tournament.

I’m 95% sure that was a tongue-in-cheek statement.

Must be nice.

Only the favored majority have the privilege of deciding not to talk about politics.

> Being the devil's advocate

Honestly, just don’t. The world doesn’t really need hypothetical antagonism anymore.

Same. I’ve had a career that has gone from working on Novell > Windows > Cisco > Linux > VMWare > AWS > Kubernetes > Terraform > … whatever’s next.

Moving out’s the way to move up.

The frequency with which Wikipedia links hit the front page sorta bucks this idea.

Colored pencils don’t move themselves around the paper, and they’re not full of uncompensated training based on untold numbers of other artists’ work. They require full agency and imposition of your will. That’s why you get credit.

A photocopier is also a tool, but you won’t get credit for Xeroxing the Mona Lisa.

She’s directing the orchestra. It’s semantically different than prompting.

It’s not like the conductor just says “okay, play Canon in D” and calls it quits. She actively participates in the performance and creation of the end work. And different conductors can absolutely yield different versions of the exact same arrangement. They’re as much a performer as any of the instrumentalists.

So yes, they get royalties like the other performers.
