She/her pronouns. Comic relief, moral support, occasionally tells the packets where to go. Grumpy old queer married person in eastern Massachusetts. Generally wandering around feeling like I'm secretly a cartoon of three raccoons in a trenchcoat trying to pass.

@legofwoofus Hooray! I'd seen it on bsky but it was login-walled. Thank you for posting a world-readable link.
This is the greatest amtrak ad ever.

PeterYou could go with something like Eingabentastenumschalteverwechslungsangst, if you enjoy needlessly long compound words. Doesn't mention newline or messages, though. Sendetastenverunsicherung is a bit looser and closer to something someone would actually use.
Ivan ReeseHey Germans, please come up with a word that means "the fear of typing `return` vs `shift-return` because you don't know which inserts newline and which sends the message"

@Remittancegirl More fuel-efficient trucks for ISIS, I think.
Matt BlazeThe Voting Village at DEF CON (August 8-10, 2025 in Las Vegas) solicits talk proposals on all aspects of election security. Our speaker track is the premier venue bringing together researchers, election officials, and the broader security community. Come share your work!

Oh god yeah. In particular, at msft, my experience was not so much nobody cared but that product groups could push back on other departments ("we're a profit center so fuck you, cost center!") when they got complaints from folks testing. Couple that with the fact that your compensation (esp in the form of stock/stock options) is heavily dependent on being seen to ship shiny new cool stuff. Fixing old stuff is unglamorous and typically doesn't get you the high review scores.

@stripey Woot! Trophy time!
@rhiannonstone Indeed. I mean, not judging! Gonzo's pretty cool and very dedicated to his chickens.
