@baldur given my current employment status. “what next” is “what now.” Heck if I know.

And SuperClippy has been the most annoying iteration of “tech will solve everything no don’t spoil its purity with context you heathen”

@baldur I got the gist of “may you live in interesting times” being a curse around age 7 or so with the Iranian hostage crisis. I would like the universe to stop trying to teach me this lesson please.

Oh I missed the “because AI” part of “Shopify’s dumping 20% of their employees.”

Shopify has the privilege of being amongst the companies with the best chances of using AI to help our customers.

I got an idea but I’m trying to get hired so I’ll just share it for anyone else to try it.

the universe has been answering you all of your life, but you cannot receive the answers because you’re on-call this shift

Me, reading LinkedIn and sighing dramatically: Okay.

I can’t sleep so the cats came in to protect me from dog toys.

Did I lose a few days? Wouldn’t be the first time. Usually it’s in my head though.

@nomad Ah well. I knew but I forgot.

@Johannab yep I’m partial to the Time Overlap Hypothesis

Going through the #JobSearch log and need a shorthand code for for “replied with interest, did not receive followup” but something more informative than just a middle finger emoji

Spent long enough in waiting queue to come up with and implement a new Obsidian vault layout.

Idle hands are the devil’s kink or some such

Trying to be super considerate to the person at the other end of this chat, since they’re being helpful and I’m reasonably sure the insurance company will try to replace them with ChatGPT within a year.

@feditips it often feels like the story of Mastodon is — a colonizing story? Just how it builds on preexisting Fediverse and seems to care more and more about branding itself as the default.

@IamMrsGeek 8am meeting and they’re in your time zone. It’s 8am for them too?

Madness.

A bit of back and forth and evaluation, and we settled on using Notion because of my mockup. Once again, the curse of “let’s ship the demo.”

Anyways, time for my product endorsement.

#Notion: it’s not very good — at anything — but you could do worse.

Happiness over 100% in #SettlementSurvival and I’m starting to wonder what’s in those mushrooms they’ve been gathering.

@freakazoid I missed all of this and I don’t know if I care to get caught up.

I used BlockTogether for a little while, but decided I preferred my artisanal organic free range hand-picked block list.

hackers.town: 2023-04-30 Sun 16:08

@freakazoid Well that’s definitely not good. All I noticed at the time was some inconsistency about which accounts were getting blocked, and lacked the patience to scrutinize deeply. So my current 10k+ Twitter block list is all me.
