It's a cute error page, but why does the #CDC take their website offline for maintenance? Seems like a relatively essential service?
It's a remarkably nice day here in the #BayArea compared to the last couple of weeks of dreary rain
Hooray, I got into the @ivory beta. A fourth #TestFlight #iOS #mastodon app!

MyTurn's scheduling tool, of course, says that boosters are only available for children 5 and above, despite them being authorized by CDPH (the organization that runs MyTurn) two weeks ago, and despite the "vaccine eligibility chart" on MyTurn saying that they're authorized for children 6 months and above.

I'm doing mandatory annual sexual harassment training for the third time in the last 12 months (yay changing jobs) and... why are these videos all so awful?

This one has an extra "feature" where it silently pops up a button on the edge of the screen every so often that you need to click within a few seconds, even though the screen is usually just a white background containing the *exact same text* the narrator is reading, so you have to look at the screen.

It also makes weird choices to pretend it's "modern" (e.g., all the terribly-acted live-action videos are shown inside a fake laptop).

Aww yeah that’s the good stuff

Let's click it and see how many options there are. There must be a lot, since Apple had to hide it behind a three-dot "more" menu...

Oh wait... It literally just has one item in the popup menu.
