I had a Belorussian colleague who'd ask me, "why so serious?" whenever I passed by, and, yeah, same

Having worked for a major insurer on an integration with CSIO's My Proof of Insurance here in Canada: these digital IDs are typically designed so that you can present the ID on your locked screen so you don't hand over an unlocked phone.

MS bugging me to use Copilot every time I open Visual Studio sure is something. All I want to do is spend a half hour before work tinkering on my game. I don't want to farm out any portion of that experience to your shitty LLM.

MLB is calling up its first female umpire, promoting Jen Pawol for Saturday's Marlins-Braves game Jen Pawol is set to become the first woman to umpire in Major League Baseball when she works games this weekend between the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves.

This rocks. Love this.

That looks like the grilled cheeses my dad used to make for me: bread burned, cheese not fully melted (though in his defense, he's English).

Chris Cuomo posting a deepfake of AOC the same week that Jim Acosta β€œinterviews” a deepfake of a school shooting victim are both harbingers of how traditional media power players will help usher in the worst of the AI slop era

My favourite era of the net. It was way more fun exploring people's websites than scrolling social media feeds.

did you know you can get a wheel of brie, slice the very top off, dump a metric crapton of brown sugar on it then melt it in an oven and no one can stop you not even god?

We sometimes do the brie bake with fig jam and pecans on top. It's so good.

I’d argue patients are paying for everything. The more we allow and use private, for-profit corporations for health care, the more expensive it becomes. Ban all private health care providers and use the money we’re not spending on it to improve our system.

Reminded that although I'm now firmly doing Python development, there was a period of almost ten years where I was doing a startling amount of XSLT.
