Then they came for the sarcastic people and I was like oh great that's exactly what we need right now well done to all concerned.
Is this a real threat? How should I know? You're the one who decided you needed an encrypted filesystem. Don't go cutting corners now. Sheesh.
Designing a Web Designer Coffee Mug. It doesn’t have a handle because that would ruin the sleek modern look

Man one of the worst things twitter did to us, as a people, is that it made someone's posts on the internet dissectable objects of public scrutiny, even when they're very clearly meant to be idle thoughts or very personal feelings and experiences

If you said it and it's on the internet it's fair game for 10k people to consume and turn over in their mouths before spitting out their half-digested opinion on what you really meant, what you were trying to say, and what it says about society

Like imagine how bizarre this would be in-person? You overhear someone saying that she just couldn't really get into her spinning class and you stop in your tracks, point at her, repeat what she just said Very Loudly, and then proceed to rant about how she's clearly blaming society for her inability to lose weight and no one likes hard work anymore!

You'd rightfully be shunned for being such a weirdo!

"look the computer can generate more code faster" the world absolutely does not need or want more code, nothing needs more code for the sake of code, we need utility, functionality and empathy, an encoded understanding of the problem being solved and the humans around it. Code is the price we pay for that encoded understanding. What you've created is an entropy spigot pointed at the proxy metric graph you’re stuck using because your management doesn't understand anything.

thank goodness we haven't backslid on the quality of our graphical user interfaces by making everything a fucking webpage.
@NanoRaptor The clock only chimes when it has something to say; with a tinkle of 100 tiny ornate bells of different sizes and a whirr of gears being released from tension, the bony automaton skeleton hand slowly taps out a message on the Apple II... "2019 was 2019 days ago"
I swear I'm so much more addicted to decaf, this is my twentieth today.
remembering the time i was sitting in a starbucks years ago when a guy loudly declared to the room "look at everyone on computers! what a terrible thing! using computers!" and i wordlessly took a 2nd laptop out of my bag and started using that too
