@Daojoan hi joan! loved your "I hate work" essay :)

If you ever feel misunderstood, remember Linus Torvalds said this in 2002:

if you hit "Ctrl+K" in Powerpoint, to insert a hyperlink, you get this delightful mix of 90s and 2010s design that I assume everyone at Microsoft is afraid to touch

the future is here, old man

xkcd is getting really specific

Ok I guess my next article is called "Just paying figma $15/month because nothing else fucking works", jeeze

If I had a dollar every time I saw an "open source" project vaguely recreate a handful of surface-level features of some commercial solution then go "there you have it folks, YOU'RE FREE" while Nothing Actually Works, I would be able to, like, pay rent with it.

MuseScore is the winner of this week's "UX dark pattern" contest.

If you do nothing, you're not unsubscribed. If you click the button, you're not unsubscribed. You need to uncheck the box *then* click "Change subscriptions".

holy shit, not only does "Apple Music Preview" for Win 11 not handle switching audio devices (first switch = wrong audio frequency, second switch = freeze), it also reliably drops buffers?? I can seek backwards and it keeps skipping over the same portion of the song?

I'm starting to understand things about terraform

..terrible, terrible things.

What I DON'T understand about terraform is why it would take 6s to make one (1) graphql call to GitHub

> module.github.data.github_user.staff["amos"]: Read complete after 6s [id=7998310]

oh my god if you have fuzzy search in your docs please PLEASE give "title" a higher weight than "body", prioritize exact matches, and highlight matches!!!

searching for `github_team` on https://registry.terraform.io/providers/integrations/github/latest/docs has you scroll through 86 items to find the exact match in penultimate position! is anyone using this??
