A grid showing how different IT roles (Developers, Designers, Project Managers, QA, and Sysadmins) perceive each other. The matrix format uses humorous images for each intersection - like developers seeing designers as children with crayons, QA seeing everyone as problematic, and sysadmins being viewed as either chaotic or mysterious by others. The images range from professional photos to memes, creating a satirical take on tech workplace stereotypes and interdepartmental relationships

Think there might be some truth in this matrix...

This video is pure British humor dolloped liberally over pretty accurate reporting.

It makes the ICE-holes look like proper ummm, ICE-holes!

So Microsoft are scaling back their AI goals because no-one is buying Copilot? Does that mean all that money pumped into it could have been spent on better things...like...you know, making their products better?

A bunch of multi-coloured aluminum DPNs in a vase shaped like a hollow Nancy Drew mystery.

3 1950’s teen girls are gathered around a hole in the ground, burying a plaque that says β€œFuck” in the latern light. 

The book’s title is β€œThe Mysterious Night Wr Buried Our Last Fuck”.

Please note - @kollagesquare.bsky.social did *not* endorse this DPN holder; this is all my shenanigans 😌

As a middle-aged white woman I buried the last of those when I turned 40 πŸ˜‘

Four months of LLM use = measurable brain decline. Like GPS destroyed spatial navigation, AI atrophies thinking. Let's talk about the research, warning signs, workplace implications, and practical solutions.

The other night I was driving in pouring rain, fully dark, and the car randomly lost GPS.
No location. No navigation.
Which also meant no FSD.
I tried two software resets while driving just to get GPS back. Nothing worked. So there I was, manually driving in terrible conditions, unsure of positioning, no assistance, no guidance.
And it genuinely felt unsafe. For me and for the people in the car.
Then it hit me.
This feeling - the stress, the uncertainty, the margin for error - this is how most drivers feel every single day.
No FSD. No constant awareness. No backup.
We've normalised danger so much that we only notice it when the safety net disappears.

So true. I couldn't imagine trying to figure things out myself anymore
I feel it every time I have to take over to take a separate entrance or find an area different from the exact pin at a destination. 12.6.4 does 98% of my driving but that last 2% is tough
I couldn't imagine also being without GPS

Oh, you added a new Al feature? Impressive. Very nice.

Now, show me how I disable it.

β€œFascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧡
