I spent an hour today on a webinar about how to optimize token usage with more than 500 other participants from the company I work for. Because billing is about to have its come-to-Jesus moment.

I still miss my T-Mobile G1 and G2 with their slide out keyboards. ... And the replaceable screens and batteries.

That's probably an actual quote? It's so bad, I find it hard to tell.

This could genuinely be actual dialogue from True Blood.

I drunkenly hate watched a season and change of that ages ago and can still hear the vampire guy grunting "Sookeh."

I'm definitely aware now. We're global and that means even more overhead with multiple regulatory bodies. Our products are several years to their first market, and at least another year for the global rollout.

And I'm just over here writing software and trying to reduce toil for these insane people who hand-roll excel files like they're databases and applications.

I left the tech world and now work for a medical device company. All I can say is I'm extremely happy to be working from home with the 3 hours of meetings and 1-2 hours of work I have each week. And the director wants to get me a junior because I'm managing so many projects. Hell, I'm actively drumming up work and it takes weeks for anything to happen.

Sure I took a bit of a pay cut, but I'm not on call 1 week a month and I'm not being run ragged everyday either.

Nah, I'll stick to known brands.

You might want to check out distrobox. Nice way to access apps for other distros or package managers like they're native.

I'm also on Garuda for my main box (Bazzite on the framework 13), and I have an Ubuntu distrobox for dev work with one dev project, another for general tools that are only released as .debs, one running fedora for things that "only support RHEL", etc.

And everything old is new again.

Congratulations to any of today's lucky 10k.
