@mholt6 grab a shovel!

They are putting cones out to lay fiber on my street!!!

@mholt6 Use cable raceways along baseboards? I never notice mine.

My home office has to move to a room without ethernet when the baby comes. Suggestions for desktop workstation WiFi dongles? I need as reliable a link as possible. Why are all WiFi dongles USB-interfaced? Are there any WiFi -> Ethernet?

@ElChapmano @Wario64 I played both, and for average enjoyment per minute, Vampire Survivors did pretty well against Elden Ring for me. effort and graphics != value

Vampire Survivors wins Best Game at BAFTA List of winners: bafta.org/games/awards/2…

@MrIppikodoku @Wario64 Because of what they pulled off with so little resources. I liked this article: vg247.com/vampire-surviv…

@Wario64 Seriously?! What exactly makes this game remotely worthy of these awards?

@SashaMTL Hm. Yeah, approximately zero time should be spent on labor compared to everything else.

They spend months preparing you for labor, but nobody prepares you to be wiping butts for the next six-odd years of your life.

@oscredwin @Aella_Girl same

reply to this tweet with a justification for your existence

@SashaMTL For men and women, yes. Other equally qualified people don't announce credentials as part of their name. I don't think we need an honorific for staff+ engineers - another prestigious title granted by an arbitrary institution. Still useful to know though 🤷.

Real talk: does it sound pretentious when a woman with a PhD introduces herself as Dr.____ in a professional context, e.g. a presentation of her work?

@sulamitaivanov Practically important to get in the door because of perceived value, but not necessary to get the skills you need to be valuable as a programmer. I got a BS and MS in CS 5 years ago. Unsure if I'd recommend that, but def wouldn't put it in JD requirements

Do you think a college degree still important if you want to work in tech?

@RewindAI I'm hesitant to do the trial even though it's local - I don't want to record other people, like family or other employees, without their consent.

I think it's time to head over to Mastodon and no longer give Twitter ad revenue

@mholt6 I'm starting to feel bad for giving him ad revenue

I'd switch platforms but what I'm seeing isn't any less toxic over there. There are even more of the rants and profanities there, which is what I'm trying to leave/avoid.

The acid test for any two competing socioeconomic systems is which side needs to build a wall to keep people from escaping? That’s the bad one!

@chrisalbon @HelloPaperspace (gaming, got my first desktop ever recently and quite enjoy it)

New contender for "harder grind than free bird on expert plus": same, but 85% speed. Beat it! #beatsaber

@POTUS costplusdrugs.com yo

Folks, on day one of 2023 our investment to lower prescription drug costs, health insurance costs, and energy costs for millions of families starts to go into effect.

@Blue_Mage @_aphrael @ForeverEversley > correlating with some data from another public source And the more effort that's put into breaching someone's privacy, the more bannable.

@chrisdotio @_aphrael @ForeverEversley You understand that information being publicly available is legally required, right? There is a way to get a privacy exception and Musk has it, but Sweeney was correlating with some data from another public source.

Holy Shit. Elon Musk just popped into a Twitter Spaces chat with a bunch of journalists. He was called out by journalist Drew Harrell, who he banned, for lying about posting links to his private information, then leaves almost immediately after being pressed. Here is the exchange

@lechebestia @BigEwe1 @ForeverEversley I don't see why it needs to be public. You could limit it to people who can actually do something about midair collision

@chrisdotio @BigEwe1 @ForeverEversley Flight data is available to everyone through the FAA, because it is funded through taxpayer money. You can look up where any plane is at any time because it is necessary to the safety of air travel and to avoid midair collision. Stating the destination of a plane isn't doxxing

@_aphrael @Blue_Mage @ForeverEversley Yeah, I think it's fine to ban that here. Limit its reach so people can maintain their privacy.

@chrisdotio @Blue_Mage @ForeverEversley There is a well known website that tracks flight information. You can literally use it to find out where any plane that's in the air is. It's been like that for at least twenty years.

@BigEwe1 @ForeverEversley I guess that doesn't hold much water for me. Legality is a really low bar for good behavior. If I were a public figure, I'd want as much privacy as I could get my hands on. Just because he's a jerk doesn't mean the rules change for him for the worse.

@chrisdotio @ForeverEversley He is a public figure and it’s legal. You can report on it.
