An engineer. Wish I had a green thumb but my plants keep wilting.

@phaedr0s oh so much this, and then they also "make sure" to upload it to facebook. And those are supposed to be the somewhat tech- and privacy-aware people 😭

Once I was literally turned away from like a 20-person "informal" tech event for refusing to show my ID at the door...

Had a... talk? with a heavy replaced-my-brain-with-a-chatbot llm user where they gushed at having more trust in a service run by a corp than a church-type thing.

Personally, I wouldn't trust a god anyway: why would someone let an ancient and inscrutable entity float somewhere in the clouds holding all their secrets?

As it turns out, this post is about `sshd` and I feel like I should do something drastic to apologize for my blasphemy. Drop a bear, maybe...

- New year, new life!
- Does that mean you stopped eating so much junk, or that you are going to eat even more because previous instances don't count?

I usually manage all kinds of home upkeep myself, but had to ask for help from professional plumbers yesterday...

Makes me wonder if there's a market for a drain inspection service where they don't spray every nearby wall with tiny drops of shit. The floor too, obviously. After having to clean that up (so much chlorine!), I know I would've happily paid extra for it.

@feld @saper you know what, I'd take that outcome. At least this way I'll have an _answer_ and make _progress_ instead of spending half a day listening to some guy's musings and not getting anything done 🤷

What's the point of having a human on the phone if they do nothing useful and say nothing meaningful? I'd rather chat with friends.

Meanwhile, on the balcony - it's an orange

Everybody's heard of a recent court ruling to hold #aircanada responsible for their #chatbot #bullshit by now, but...

Can anything be done to ensure that the same standard is applied to the meatbag clerks at a local utilities office? Today I was given three incompatible _opinions_ regarding a billing issue, but none of those idiots are liable for what they spew and how convenient it is that they never yield any written statements, it's all just _advice_. No progress made again #bureaucracy ftw

@alanb I think somebody just fed them there regularly - although we haven't met, could have been a cat food truck for all I know
