@rl_dane@polymaths.social @robinp@mastodon.social @gumnos@bsd.cafe next they'll be taking away our emoji-marker lists 😢
(I shall not be sad)
Sam. You want it? Come get it.
@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe
I always suspected you and I do very similar jobs and this post more-or-less confirms it.
Of course, you have a number of years more experience and skill than I do (not necessarily an age thing, you started in the role younger than I did 🙂)
Anyway, I feel your pain, massively.
This year I have been in a number of meetings, or been asked opinions on flashy sales pitches, normally something AI related and have had to battle with the "but it looks so nice" fallacy.
Any sales pitch now I ask for full technical documentation about it before reaching a decision. I can't make an informed recommendation based off a PowerPoint and a brochure!
And yes, like you, when it all falls apart at 23:30 they call me, and of course the sales person and support team went home at 17:00.
@rl_dane@polymaths.social not to brag, but I have a hardware switch I can configure to change annoyance modes at will which sort of performs this task.
But honestly I have always been jealous of what I understand the iPhone's shortcuts feature to be
Though also it would be nice if annoyance modes were configurable in termux, could script it then
One day... ONE DAY... people might stop leaving ssh ports open with password authentication on unsecure networks...
One day...
@sotolf@polymaths.social the way I understand it, and I don't understand it very well, is the Paedophile in Chief still has quite a lot of power.
One man should not have the power to overrule a house of elected officials quite frankly.
@amin@polymaths.social @sotolf@polymaths.social ah right, not quite 100 years then...maybe the last 2 have dragged a bit 😂
@sotolf@polymaths.social @amin@polymaths.social both are very healing.
How long has it been in Texas, 100 years or so? Incredible.
In the light of the beginnings of the results this morning, I think it's time once again to listen to Frank Turner's Make America Great Again
https://frank-turner.com/videos/make-america-great-again/
Remember, this was written and filmed back before this latest presidency, so the introduction has not aged well but... The song is awesome, hopeful, and all about how I, as an ignorant Englishman, remember America being great.

@hund@fosstodon.org yeah, I think it can, I just haven't used it enough to have that many saved yet
It's surprising how often I need a command I typed.once 3 years ago 😁
Agree RE: case insensitivity. I've decided I'm going to use it an see how annoyed I get.
The one thing I need in a prompt is the time, I like to see roughly how long a command took to run. Annoyingly \t in ash doesn't give seconds so I've just got a function that uses date instead.
The git/got stuff was more a "I wonder if I do this" thing.
@hund@fosstodon.org 10000 commands or so I think is reasonable 🤣
I think ash history is good in this regard.
Yep, backward history search is good, but Ctrl+r is decent too.
I've been trying to find ways to grab the arrow up keypress and run a different script, but that doesn't seem possible in ash. Nevermind.
Case sensitivity might be a minor problem, but I'm just have to work with that.
Anyway, I've got my PS1 variable set nicely now with got status and the current time, so I'll just slowly progress and see what else i can do
@graham_arden@mastodon.social I'm just going to keep calling Sam Altman a terrorist until the police come knocking at my door.
At which point I'll invite the police in for a nice cup of tea and calmly explain my reasoning.
@davidgerard@circumstances.run "AI is here, and it will unquestionably change how software is developed forever" - yawn. Yeah, it's going to make all software extraordinarily average with no real creative spark and ultimately once all aged bugs have been discovered and fixed AIs ongoing use for vulnerability discovery is going to waiver and become just a task a build script does - of course, that's not going to happen because that task cannot prop up the AI industry unless the charges are astronomical
It's going to burn every business using it from the core.
I've just bought a bunch of #NeverSlop stickers from @prahou@merveilles.town and you all should too.
