lol, this reminded me of the MS surface parody. “Instead of using one of today’s more popular compact devices to get directions to where you’re going, why not use a device the size of a small car to do the same job?”

Where are you finding them? Any idea why they all have that format?

- Comment on So Long to Tech's Dream Job: It’s the shut up and grind era, tech workers said, as Apple, Google, Meta and other giants age into large bureaucracies. 5 weeks ago:
What I’m seeing is that these trends are also hitting smaller companies whose leadership follows the cues. Now even at smaller companies folks are afraid to speak up and there is no more fun. I saw a huge shift in that direction during the layoffs in 2023.
If you’re part of a team that actually enjoys work and has fun while doing it, cherish that every day.

Oh yeah, I sympathize with that problem. I have no sympathy for Reddit though. We all should have invested our time in something that had the users’ best interests in mind. Something like the fediverse.

I wrote a huge explanation and then deleted it. The TL;DR is that all cars are are traffic. Bikes are too, but look around, what kind of traffic do you see?

- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Having worked on products that are renamed to something equally ambiguous, I’d say they are trying to make it more difficult to find because they are trying to redirect customer attention to other places, and are deliberately making it difficult to talk about or search for. Unfortunately this is a very successful strategy. It’s also very user hostile, and product engineer hostile. My heart goes out to any engineers that work in this product.

- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 5 months ago:
This is interesting. I haven’t heard somebody use “Apache” as a reference to httpd in a long time due to the rise of nginx and because Apache.org does so much more than just httpd.
But I agree. Apache httpd 0.x was one of the softwares that first showed me how much better Linux is than Windows. IIS at the time was an insecure confusing monstrosity. I wonder if it still is.

- Comment on Movie theaters are trying everything to bring audiences back — from pickleball to cocktail bars 5 months ago:
It’s like a dream come true. When I was 7, I went to see Empire Strikes Back at a local theater in Sandusky Ohio, and as soon as I walked in and saw all the posters and smelled the popcorn and saw the theater lighting, I thought to myself “this would be absolutely perfect if only I could play pickleball.” Ever since then, whenever I feel like playing pickleball, I go to my local movie theater. It’s just astounding that there has not once been a pickleball court. But now the day has come. Finally we are getting something so obvious that it’s a wonder it’s taken so long for it to come into being. Pickleball in movie theaters. Because when I think of movie theaters, there’s nothing I want more than to play pickleball.

- Comment on What's your favourite classic movie you think everyone should have seen once in their life? 6 months ago:
[Tadamasa Goto’s] claim to infamy was alledgedly ordering a hit on the esteemed Japanese film director Juzo Itami in May 1992. Itami had directed a film called Minbo no onna, which, unlike all previous yakuza films in Japan, portrayed the yakuza as money-grubbing, ill-mannered louts, not noble outlaws. Goto was not pleased with the film and especially disturbed by the implications that yakuza did not live up to their threats. On May 22, five members of his organization attacked Itami in the parking lot in front of his house, slashing his left cheek and his neck, inflicting serious injuries upon him. Itami became a vocal supporter of the new anti–organized crime laws the Japanese government put in place that year and a general pain in the ass to organized crime. He was a living symbol of what the yakuza really did, not what they pretended to do. He allegedly killed himself a few years later by jumping from a tall building.
