Software devs are so bad at estimation that there is a whole methodology/movement based on refusing to estimate, but devs report the time they have saved by using LLMs, and I’m supposed to take that number seriously?

only if we combine the secrets of papal elections with the rigour and integrity of both the International Olympic Committee and the FIFA Council can we truly safeguard democracy

With the power of AI, you too can take your startup from “fucking around” to “finding out” in as little as two days!

Preferential voting in Australia is actually really cool. It lets you list the candidates on your ballot in the order of your preference.

So you can, for example, have The Fusion Party as number 1, The Greens as number 2, Labor as second last, and LNP as last, with any other candidates in between.

You are in control of who your vote goes to. The candidates and parties have no say in it at all.

Don’t let the media tell you otherwise.

The vatican needed a latin word for tweet, because the pope tweets. Or tweeted, I suppose, given the whole dead or dying situation. Anyway, they call them breviloquia (s breviloquium) which is honestly a great word even tho it’s not very brief itself. Given its nature and etymology I think we should be able to use it platform-independently and apply it to toots, skeets and even Truths as well. Anyway thank you for reading this breviloquium.
