The YouTube viewing experience on FF is terrible. I have premium no ads and still manage to break the interface occasionally by clicking a new video or seeking the video playing.

How do these people watch conspiratorial content and miss the fact that pale male European colonialism literally is the conspiracy?

The part about remote work that has caused things to stagnate is that most companies still aren’t setup to hire out of their own state. So it’s not done much to open the gate to opportunities that are a great fit and can be done remotely, because I’m in the wrong state. And there’s still an attitude of “what would somebody in that place possibly know about things here”. The likelihood I will ever be domiciled in the same place as where my perfect job happens to be is super unlikely. This is 95% employers just discriminating based on location because they don’t want to do paperwork or have an open mind and 5% not having the benefit of in-person collaboration.

I started learning how to program when I asked myself how I could setup one web page template and include the content instead of copying the menus and logos on every page. Most people will never be observant enough to consider this might be how most big websites function, or how/why they would develop anything. There’s a tall gate that some people just walk right over.

At 5pm somebody once added an email that had an auto responder to a distribution list that was used in a lot of places. As I’m eating my dinner my phone is getting blown up because everything is suddenly getting spammed with delivery failures because the auto responder was getting blocked from blasting everybody on the distribution list. I was like, I’m sorry you’ve fabricated an urgent situation after hours but I’m gonna eat my chicken now.

Shoot and I thought my 30 second SQL queries were a problem

Which is interesting to say the least given that most cars from the past few years use LTE radios which will eventually work about as well as cars from the early 2000s with OnStar.

More than full retail most of the time! They’re not even bothering to compete with Walmart or Target anymore on the same products.

Oh and I love when I sort by price and half the results disappear.

It’s no exaggeration sometimes it takes a dozen different how-to blogs and stack overflows to find an example where somebody has exactly what you need and nothing more. So many people add so much fluff and unusual structures that the thing they’re claiming the code does can’t even be found.

Public domain? Creative commons? MIT? BSD? GPL? You mean I’m allowed to use these things without failing?

My parents are paying for YouTube TV through their T-Mobile subscription 🤦‍♂️

“what if we made it so everybody had to pay to turn off their screens even if there was no video or music!”

Easy access to phone numbers? Did they flash an amnesia light to make them forget how Arabic numerals work? Literally all you have to do is look at a phone book to see what the valid area codes and exchanges are then robodial away.

But doesn’t Amtrak share the same rails with freight? Sure maybe the trains themselves are better maintained but if the rails themselves are in bad shape the train won’t get far.

Wasn’t everybody saying the opposite like 3 months ago?

Can someone name and shame yelp for automatically generating pages for business listings that don’t exist like TOP 10 BEST CANTONESE FUSION RESTAURANTS IN HARPERS FERRY.

Cool send them all to me for free then. Later…oh weird nobody sent me anything.

Maybe but they’d probably just sunset the project anyway and in ten years it will look more like a stain on my resume than a badge. Plus traffic on Willow Road is a no for me dawg.

What does JIT really mean though in the context of consumer goods? There’s plenty of stores stocked full of stuff that will be on the shelves until the food expires. Sure some stuff like TP got wiped out but nobody was buying the random brand of wild rice I like. Does that mean we should have more regional stores of specific items that move quickly instead of trucking it all from Bentonville?
