I can't watch this video. I know the topic and it's just too depressing. It's like a survival mechanism to me to avoid this type of content.

Same year!

Mavis Beacon teaches typing. BBSs. Cassette tapes with the pencil. I had a Spectrum that used cassettes before I got my Amiga 500.

Not depression, but ...

I have a friend with a bit of "resting bitch face". Someone screamed at her from across the street to "smile and be happy, it's a great day!"

She was like, I was happy ....

An additional point to treadmills is that it's easier on my knees and ankles. Also, I know we're not supposed to talk to people at the gym but I chat --ever so briefly-- with the regulars that go at my times. It's nice to say hi to a familiar face every now and again. As I'm getting older and do remote work, it's useful for me.

I've seen interviews a year or two after where he's said he doesn't regret it because it was important to address it due to her basically expecting to win.

Not sure if he still holds that to this day though seeing the fustercluck we've got.

I have a portable monitor just in case and I bust it out if there's no monitor for me to plug in.

I haven't read the book either but I heard this Lolita podcast series and it was a great breakdown about how it was misinterpreted. I couldn't believe everything I knew about it from mainstream media was off.

Will definitely be checking out your video!

Whenever I hear about moths, I think about the moth scene in Lost between Charlie and Locke: https://youtu.be/kmXV5iOncT8?si=Wh_d_RCkKiclyiYF

It's a story from April, I tried seeing if it was posted before, however it's the story about how the advertising and finance team beat the search team into submission by ousting the core person protecting it to pursue "growth" and "revenue" at all costs.

The accounts are so important that you're willing to lose sales in that many countries?!

Just popped up in my feed. I loved Starship Troopers as a kid, not knowing the satire underneath. Anyways, it's a nice interview.

I remember when I was working with .NET and I saw some web service code and I saw there was no try catches. They didn't have a global catch in the asax either or anything. I just wrapped each call into a try catch and log.

I got the same treatment where my manager wanted to know what happened with the increase in errors. I told him what I did. My manager got another developer to go through my commits regardless. I was a bit upset at the lack of trust.

Right wing groups in the US made Planned Parenthood a political issue. It doesn't make it a political organization.

I feel sorry for Unity because I want them to be profitable and all that. However, they have a greedy prick for a CEO and one of the dumbest change rollouts I've seen (Twitter has been crazy bad lately too) at this scale. It wipes away any empathy for them and makes you yearn for their collapse.

For June 20 and 21, the most recent days for which Similarweb has estimates, the ads site got in the range of 7,500 to 9,000 visits, Carr explained, meaning that ad-buying traffic has continued to drop.

I'm glad Reddit is feeling something from this, however, at the same time. I kinda don't care. It's a shame it went the way that it did. But spez can't take back his terrible attitude and decision making on what happened. Most people were sympathetic and wanting Reddit to be profitable and rooting for Reddit. However, spez just decided to come out swinging from nowhere hitting his allies in the face.
