@epaga Huh, there used to be a „try it anyway“ link. Maybe it only appeared after a timer.

@fzwob Not with me - it's just stuck on that screen. Even tried Inspect -> Remove Element. Then the page is blank. Just glad it's a temporary visit to MS Teams land to fix a quick bug in our product which has to be able to send messages to it.

MS Teams is such a bad joke. One of a billion issues: No way to use it in Safari since this screen is the only thing shown, even though the message says you can. And: "It may impact your experience on other websites."? Is that a threat?

@poppy_northcutt @jckarter Unfortunately, this isn’t true. twitter.com/borzou/status/…

Iran has abolished the morality police following months of protests set off by the death of a young woman who was being held by the force for supposedly violating the country’s strict Islamic dress laws. nytimes.com/2022/12/04/wor…

Berlin friends! If you want to pick up woodworking, or do a little project you have in mind, I can highly recommend this VHS course: vhsit.berlin.de/VHSKURSE/Busin… Loved the instructor! Not sure if he’s fluent in English tho, better ask. And yes, the website is hilariously bad.

@MuellerSimhofer I want CarPlay. Missing that is one of the biggest failings of the car.

@marcoarment Asking civil engineers for their most daring and riveting (heh) rivets.

@Sudz3 @TechConnectify The rubber flap is not necessary. For instance, European Tesla Model 3 has CCS, but no rubber flap under the… flap

ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS. Going forward, anyone programming recreations of me in the holosuites without authorization will be sent to ore processing.

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter. 🧵

@Jonathan_Blow @AustenLamacraft @michael_nielsen Sounds like an algorithm to me

@AustenLamacraft @michael_nielsen Any descriptor that pulls your mind away from "a bunch of crappy if-statements that are full of bugs and that nobody understands" is deceiving.

Very interesting subject:

@sindresorhus It’s even worse in German, since that item becomes [„filename“ komprimieren], so the beginning of the string constantly changes and I have to read the whole damn menu to find it every damn time.

good job 🍎 1. Should have been truncated much earlier 2. Why only show the filename for compress 3. Why show the filename at all

@hillelogram IF ends justify means in your moral framework and IF torture works (can yield truth faster), then there are cases where it can be seen as moral. See this case: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of…

If you put in "yes, but very niche" I'd be interested in hearing what those niche cases are, because I couldn't think of any when I pondered this question

Are there any situations where cruelty is moral?

@sindresorhus Don’t have my Mac with me right now. Looks very useful. Can it display next appointment title in menu bar? As someone else said, ability to join call would be superb.

I wanted to experiment with making the absolute simplest calendar app possible. The complete opposite of my Dato app. I'm happy to discuss if there's anything you think should have been done differently or if anything is missing.

I released another app: Today — View today’s schedule right from the menu bar sindresorhus.com/today

@jckarter Waiting for the „Mark Zuckerberg is about to make you his bitch“ ads

@marcoarment Im glad they do it because no one else could afford to.

@fhe Great choice of music! TBH, a medium between old and new would seem best.

Vorsicht. Ich sehe im Prinzip drei Arten russischer (und nicht nur russischer) Propaganda, die sehr verschieden sind und sehr unterschiedlichen Zwecken dienen, und zwei Arten sind so subtil, dass man sie leicht übersieht oder nicht wahr haben möchte.

Fun fact: the reason that \ acts like a line continuation in Bash is not because Bash added special support for line continuations, but rather because the \ is literally escaping the following newline character

@ProjectDavis Serendipity?

I can't think of a word, can you help? "A positive and very unforeseen "something" of the job search" Side-effect, outcome, result? Or is there something better?
