Dear Person I've never seen before in the office, crop-dusting the office with a not-so-surreptitious can of Lysol and a self-satisfied smirk:

Your chemical attack on personnel in this wing of the building has been accepted for the Act of War that it clearly is. A counterattack may or may not […]

So the day I interviewed for this job, I was told everything I needed to know about my perceived value to my future manager with a single question.

I had requested 24 dollars an hour, which was still less than a living wage in this city, but I knew it was the upper threshold for their starting […]

"...An attack on shipwrecked sailors."

Illegal.

Murder.

Just got an email from my #apartment management company telling me that I am late on my #rent payment, and I do not pay the entire past-due amount of $0.00, they will initiate eviction proceedings.

I can easily afford this regrettable shortfall, but their payment portal is not accepting a […]

The Ukraine/US flag bracelet I ordered arrived promptly and is both lovely and very well-constructed. Highly recommend for anyone looking to support someone directly.

Why do I, an Ops guy, have to not just one time, but _repeatedly_ explain to people who are _paid_ to write programs for a living, the concept of a Finite State Machine?

The recent #aws #outage, combined with today's #azure outage, really makes the "unmarked shed in a field" mental image replacement for the #cloud loot a lot more apt than the arguably more accurate "Someone Else's Datacenter" that I had mentally mapped previously.

Man, #neuromancer reads really different now that the meaning of #ice has been near-completely co-opted in America.

Things #mastodon (or maybe #glitch) needs to add, partial list:

* The ability to filter posts that have more then _n_ tags or posts that are literally nothing but a slurry of tags and an obfuscated porn link.

Looking at frequent posts from one instance in particular.

At what point does "all enemies [of the Constitution], foreign and domestic" finally include a 34-time felon making a harrowing, murderous, craven mockery of the document he's sworn to "faithfully execute"?

#linux distros: either use snapd for ALL your packaging or use snapd for NONE of your packaging. I'm surely not the only user who is sick and fucking tired of having to figure out whether the problem is with the snap package versus the distro package (deb, rpm etc).

Mostly, fuck snapd - it […]

Is it just me or does the music in the soundtrack get more pronounced as the game goes on? When I first fired up #silksong I was nonplussed to find no thematic motif on the title screen, and the music at first was subdued and in some ways underwhelming; but it's been getting better and better as […]

I've been watching some "Let's Play" series of #silksong as I wend my way through the expanse of Pharloom (trying to stay ahead of what I view) and it's interesting to see some folks commenting on how "linear" the game is while I've ended up taking completely different routes to get to similar […]

Random lexical thought:
Why is "in grave condition" not a euphemism for "dead"?

I used to despairingly think we were headed into a Dystopian "20 Minutes Into the Future" timeline where corporations own everything and everyone.

I wasn't expecting to find that following 2024 was actually Nineteen Eighty-Four.

I've got a quick favour to ask. If you're reading this post on Mastodon (or the Fediverse), please click share.

How come?

I recently moved across to my own self-hosted single-user server (using GoToSocial.org). For a bunch of reasons, including visibility across the Fedi, it would really help out.

Assuming we somehow escape this Darkest of Timelines and Trump eventually dies in prison, can we build mast extensions and fly the flag at double-mast for a month?
