Doesn't matter that I work at a company that already pays for office premium, or copilot 365, or whatever they call it now. They still feel the need to nag me about purchasing Teams Premium.

Never in a million years will I pay Microsoft to add AI features to my work chat app.

The absolute banger: It looks like they want me to pay personally for the privilege.

Starting to consider finding a new job. Current employer has made it clear they're not interested in maintaining a good developer and engineering environment and are instead going all-in on the LLM hype train...

Ditched Odido after they went and lost all my data to some hackers. Moved to @freedominternet where the helpdesk actually knows what MTU means.

Me: I have a bunch of symptoms that I believe might be caused by too low testosterone, which is a common side effect of a medication I use

Blood test: your testosterone levels are abnormally high

Dutch consumers tv-show asks victims of SUVs for experiences!

https://pointer.kro-ncrv.nl/grotere-autos-veilig-voor-inzittenden-maar-niet-voor-andere-weggebruikers-jouw-ervaring

They ask "experiences, as drivers of SUVs but especially as bicyclists and pedestrians, or as those with a lived experience with the emergency services'

From inhabitants of the Netherlands, but they can probably translate any language you are comfortable with.

Grotere auto's veilig voor inzittenden, maar niet voor andere weggebruikers: Pointer zoekt ervaringen

Grotere auto's zijn alleen voor inzittenden maar niet voor alle andere weggebruikers. Wat zijn de gevolgen in Nederland? Pointer start een onderzoek en zoekt ervaringen.||Steeds meer Nederlanders kopen een SUV. Het aantal is sinds 2018 zelfs verdubbeld. Toch maken deskundigen zich zorgen: grotere auto's zijn voor inzittenden misschien veiliger, maar voor alle anderen op de weg een gevaar. Pointer start daarom een onderzoek naar de gevolgen van de SUV-hype op de verkeersveiligheid in Nederland. Stuur ons jouw ervaring onderaan dit artikel.

Dear politicians,

Our wish for #2026: Stop using 'child safety' as an excuse for mass censorship and surveillance.

No one believes you.

And using children is just... sickening.

it's truly amazing what LLMs can achieve. we now know it's possible to produce an html5 parsing library with nothing but the full source code of an existing html5 parsing library, all the source code of all other open source libraries ever, a meticulously maintained and extremely comprehensive test suite written by somebody else, 5 different models, a megawatt-hour of energy, a swimming pool full of water, and a month of spare time of an extremely senior engineer

If anyone's wondering what the different titles for #Wrapstodon mean, I just checked out the source code at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/7b8a5d42f144b038708b5c793c9bedfec38f36d4/app/lib/annual_report/archetype.rb#L16C3-L29C1

If your total (posts, replies, reblogs) is less than 113, you're a Lurker.

Otherwise, if you reblog more than twice as much as you post, you're a Booster.

Otherwise, if more than 10% of your posts are polls, you're a Pollster

Otherwise, if you reply more than twice as much as you post, you're a Replier

Otherwise, you're an Oracle.

The names differ between instances as far as I can see, but I guess the rules will be similar enough.
