Japan probably has more rolling stock dedicated to maintenance and removing snow than we do for passengers.

Blind seems like it is full of the most spiteful and arrogant people in the industry.

@siriusfox It was after the chutes had deployed, pretty close to touchdown. Could only really see it when the camera switched to IR.

View of Rainier looming behind Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park from an elevated position along the waterfront. The mountain is almost entirely covered in snow. The sun is low and lighting the mountain from the right side. The promenade below is busy with pedestrians.

Is it just me or did it look like thrusters were intermittently firing from the top side of the Artemis capsule while it was parachuting down?

I’m starting to see claims that GenZ is sabotaging the rollout of AI at work and my first thought is that it is more likely that the industry is realizing that it isn’t the magic bullet they were led to believe and are starting to look for excuses.

Our Forests Are Being Taken. SAVEUSFS.ORG 193 million acres of America's public lands face unprecedented attacks. It's time to pay attention.

Basically had to make an appointment and drive 40 minutes one way to a DO’s office to explain to them that their front desk staff won’t let me schedule urgent appointments as they had instructed. Also get told conflicting things about long term treatment with steroids every time. I love healthcare.

TIL: WebKit dev tools will let you copy a network request as a javascript fetch call. Nifty.

Sitting down to check things off lists in reminders sure is a great feeling.

@sig Praise the sun

I thought this would be a place where an LLM would be legitimately helpful but I find it difficult to find a solution outside of enterprise that doesn't involve my data becoming training data.

I forgot how much I hate working on a resume.

Probably a 14" or 16" M5 Pro. I have a 16" M1 Max at work so I don't really consider 16" cumbersome.

Any takes on the standard glossy vs nano-texture display options? It seems the downsides of the latter are:
- Special cleaning considerations?
- More sensitive to viewing angle?

@yote.gay I didn’t realize that was happening so soon!

I finished my taxes and now I'm sad.

View of Mount Rainier from the top of the Mount Rainier gondola at Crystal Mountain. The are above the tree line is covered in snow. Below, the trees are dusted with snow, lighter towards the valley floor.

Mountain is mostly out 🏔️

I haven’t even bothered to upgrade my M1 at work because it still works so well.

It is time to replace my 2017 Intel MacBook Pro. There are now too many models to choose from. :|

This toot brought to you by the “restructuring” of the US Forest Service in a way that is obviously intended to kill it and allow private interests to pillage the national forests.

This country will be a shithole without public lands

That meeting was somehow a bigger train wreck than I expected.

It was announced last week that we’d be reorganized into “AI pods” with more information on Friday. Friday came and went so we assumed it’d be before the Q&A on Monday. In the Q&A, it was delayed until this morning. Then 11 am. Then noon. It’s now after noon and still no information. The […]

@ret I love this

My immediate leadership sure does seem to be powerless when it comes to pretty much everything lately.

What is with the instances with no link preview support?

@seeker.gay Egregious AI bullshit ad.
