Luddite software dev. Familiarising with Linux. Young enough to have grown up with the internet, old enough to not understand the "social" part of it.
The perfect confirmation dialog does not exist…

So today I was supposed to get 2 packages, accept one of them, and refuse one of them, which is exactly what I did, except the delivery person got me to sign a single thing, went back in their truck with one package, and now both packages are marked "delivered".

Customer service says I didn't refuse the package correctly (fuck you too) and the SENDER has to open a complaint with them. Hahahahahahahahah.

The excellent @dansup (creator of @pixelfed) also maintains two very useful Fediverse tools:

➡️ https://fedidb.org - A dashboard for the Fediverse, with details of how server types and specific servers are growing.

➡️ https://fediverse.info/explore/people - An opt-in directory of people on the Fediverse sorted by keyword. You can add yourself to the directory by including special hashtags in your profile.

If you've used them before, take another look as they've both just been revamped.

Read the new story by War and Peas! This never-ending webcomic of woefully funny stories will leave you cry-laughing or the other way around.

It's kind of hilarious to me how toxic the word "telemetry" has become. Don't get me wrong, the ad tracking industry has ruined it for everyone. However

Firefox users: Disable telemetry! It's an enemy to your privacy!
Mozilla: We removed a feature no one was using due to a lack of telemetry data.
Firefox users: I use it all the time! Why are you bad at this!

1Password users: I trust AgileBits to safely handle my data.
AgileBits: We added telemetry.
1Password users: Why do you hate my privacy?!

If the only opportunities for advancement in your organisation beyond "senior developer" require a move into mgmt or team leadership, that will work against the stability of your teams. Seriously consider hands-on dev career paths with equivalent status and rewards.
