First they came for the immigrants

And I did not speak out

Because they’re also coming for anyone who speaks out

My long-shot journey to Australia's rarest visa
I don't mark every milestone publicly, but the moments that mean something do occasionally find their way into my ceremonial practice of an ad hoc blog post.

Seems like there is a lot of small companies making workwear for women these days. as a slightly butch DIYer I'm here for it.

I'm not against buying white overalls and dyeing them, but its nice to get something off the shelf.

Just got these and they are really nice. greenhip.com.au/products/sho...

Why does every bloody website scale based solely on the monitor width these days? 4k monitor and you can't see shit because everything is jumbo sized. And on an ultrawide, its totally unusable.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Hey tech product companies! You know those pictures of your product on your website? How about some nice clear straight on photos of the important parts.

I know what a powerbank looks like. I need to see how the connectors are laid out.

Looking at you, Alogic.

I couldn't agree more.

Unfortunately this is also one of the biggest issues with the "Just put Linux on it" movement. It's great for power users and nerds, but the wild variation of Linux distributions makes troubleshooting for non power users very hard.

fucking hell Draytek router.

Want to change the configuration of one of the lan IPs?

Can't change it to one of the pre-set vlans, even if they are disabled.

Cant change the ip of said vlan unless you enable it.

So enable, reboot, change ip, reboot, disable, reboot, change other ip,reboot.

Every conference should have a track dedicated to Gen AI applications. A whole track with all the Gen AI talks. Over there. Down the hall. Yep. Keep going. Just a bit farther. Okay, yeah now open the door. Uh-huh. Now close the door behind you.

YEP RIGHT THERE.

Every tech update now is like: "Great news, the word processor you've relied on for twenty years has learned to juggle! Is it good at it? No! Does it help in any way? Of course not! Has it made it insufferable to use? Oh, absolutely."
