I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

I remain amused that our microwave has power settings 1-7. Nothing higher. It's like they watched Spinal Tap but misremembered 11 as 7. "But this one goes to seven!"
@ZenHeathen@Guillotine_Jones That's the migratory WWAAAAAHOOOOOOWAAAOOOOOOOOWAOOOO advance scout bird, which stops on selected roof tops to make it's travelling noise to tell it's flock which way to go.
@AnnieBuddy In the end I landed at a job where the CEO would pop by for a random chat and ask me how things were going down in the coal mine and if there was anything he should be aware of. He knew that I didn't sugar coat things, and I knew that he had a lot of high level things on the go that I wasn't aware of but I also really appreciated his drive by checks of the canary. That was a fairly good place to end my working days at.
@AnnieBuddy I may have burned some political capital a few times in my working years by going “I told ya so, but you didn’t listen” after some events that caused a mad scramble. Worth it.
