  It’s totally okay not to project. It’s okay to just be concerned and worried and insignificant like the rest of us without alienating your best refugee destination.

  You don’t know how Cisco is triangulating your laptop’s position from APs in range, do ya? It’s 2015 tech, and it’s insane.

  Being able to see where everyone’s cell phone is in the middle of an open-air concert … and whether and where it has been on the muni network since … has been valuable for cops looking to question a potential witness.

  But yeah, if you’re reading this in the company loo, your IT people probably know, if they cared. They don’t care.

  Hell, knowing when the boss’s phone lights up on the site wifi was great for ambushing him with a purc req first-thing. …or so I hear.

  TL;DR: they don’t need to know which IP range you’re on, as their layer-1 has already ratted you out.

  You’re not alone.

  The industry itself has become pointlessly layered like some origami hell. As a former OS security guy I can say it’s not in a good state with all the supply-chain risks.

  At the same time, many ‘help’ articles are karma-farming ‘splogs’ of low quality and/or just slop that they’re not really useful. When something’s missing, it feels to our imposter syndrome like it’s a skills issue.

  Simplify your life. Ditch and avoid anything with containers or bizarre architectures that feels too ontricate. Decide what you need and run those on really reliable options. Auto patching is your friend (but choose a distro and package format where it’s atomic and rolls back easily).

  You don’t need to come home only to work. This is supposed to be FUN for some of us. Don’t chase the Joneses, but just do what you want.

  Once you’ve simplified, get in the habit of going outside. You’ll feel a lot better about it.

  You may be new to modern software development. Switching proverbial horses is massively common, usually for no benefit (or to lock people in). It’s everywhere, and especially in the corps who want that lock-in (ohai apple).

  For a 2 week overlap, people on gtalk, Facebook and a regular jabber server could chat with one another as easy as addressing an email message. Then both Facebook and Google switched to their own homebrew replacement and made up some compelling-sounding, feature-laden but implausible reason. Gtalk has never sucked less than those two weeks with a working discreet client app and interoperability, though. It was actually adequate.

  Ulnar plate - and a dozen screws - from a fight, so somewhat like yours without the wrist damage.

  X-rays and a cast, but since I brought no ID with me they needed me to call back with my health numbers for charting. Walked out without paying.

  Back after a few weeks, and it’s not healing well. And that’s when they booked the surgery. They’d removed the cast for the x-rays so they sent me home with a sampler of T3 or so to get me through Christmas. Plate implanted on 28dec but in the hospital for a while because of really bad rejection and infection (almost lost it). Finally until control, I was sent homenwith a prescription for painkillers.

  $0 aside from those meds (c$20). 🇨🇦

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Prep the downvotes.

  I live in a larger Canadian city. I used to commute via transit. Sometimes the bus driver would stop abruptly. Every time the driver needed to stop the bus hard - twice a month - it was a bicyclist driving erratically, like cutting off a transit bus or, in one case, brake-checking the bus.

  I’ve almost been hit twice - same intersection, different days - by a cyclist running the red, shooting through the crosswalk I was on, and cursing me out for it.

  I have an idea as to why drivers worry about more bikes on the roadways.

  I’ve been abroad. I’ve seen segregated bikeways where there’s a ribbon of green space between bicyclists and cars. This works really well. What they’re doing here Does Not .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best free version of word?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it’s exactly identical to MSWord, but from the mso97 days before the Ribbon bollocks. I used o97 Word because it was like win3.1 Word … word-perfect? It’s been a while.

  But, TL/DR, LOWord is like Classic MSOffice from when it didn’t suck. This will not help you adjust, but hopefully the knowledge that you’re going back to a better era of UX could help blunt the pain.

  Go carefully, and have your favourite vice handy to goose the positive reinforcement loop.
