Google has turned evil. Back to Microsoft, everyone!

X-creting, not posting. Or would that be xitting (pronounced ‘zitting’).

I am rarely a hipster, but I was definitely on the “Musk is an asshole” bandwagon waaaaaaaaaaay back in the days of grabbing credit for PayPal and founding Tesla. He’s always been an asshole, but for the longest time his very loud fan club was willing to overlook the various indicators.

Nah, spez would murder you for money if he could. And then carpet bomb your corpse with ads.

Elon views even previous, no longer employed workers as his slaves for life. The truly disturbing thing is he’s not the only one with that mindset.

What happens if a driver chooses to be online for all 3 delivery services simultaneously? Is there some sort of SLA for deliveries per hour? Seems like it might be a pretty decent gig if not.

Odds are it was written by ChatGPT or similar A.I. Been seeing a LOT of articles with odd mistakes or written in “A.I. voice” lately.

So, I was on an accessibility focused team, testing and cleaning up after the feature developers to make sure the whole product still met WCAG 2.0 to AA level. I can state with complete confidence that anyone without such a team will introduce unexpected accessibility breakage and regressions every single release, sometimes in completely untouched sections. For trivial tweaks. Screen readers are finicky, temperamental and moody beasts. Modern web toolkits do a fairly good job of being accessible out of the box, but like ChatGPT generated text, they require a bit of help sometimes.

Would not be surprised if Reddit just wants to pay lip service to accessibility. That shit costs cubic money to do right, and slows the roll of releases. Unfortunately, most advertisers on a social platform couldn’t care less.

I thought I was the only one to answer unknown calls using my best Barney Gumble impression (which is really, really good I’ve been told). If it’s a legit call I can pretend I was choked up due to allergies. If not, the telemarketer can continue to enjoy talking with Springfield’s best known alcoholic.
