We waste the two hours doing code reviews that only three people actually need to be present for, I always appreciate the chance to zone out and do something else for a big part of the day. Follow that with lunch and I’ve just done half a day’s work by watching TV

Yeah exactly right? I’ve had Americans tell me that snakes and spiders are too scary, snakes will actively run from people (mostly) and spiders don’t care about you they just want flies and stuff.

Meanwhile in NA you’ve got powerful prey species that will just randomly wander through town, not to mention all the gun violence in the USA…

Most dangerous thing here are the cars tbh.

I really really hate this narrative. Time and time again people tell me they would love to come to Australia but it’s too dangerous.

This isn’t a dangerous place, most of our wildlife is harmless and/or actively avoids people. It makes me so damn sad every time another friend tells me how deadly my home is, and even worse they refuse to listen to people who actually live here because they’ve been told Australia is dangerous their whole life.

That’s fair, I just like windows and that’s really all there is to it. I’ve had a few Linux installs in the past, but never really found an advantage to anything except compiling this one specific python library, but these days I can do that very easily running WSL, VS code SSH’d to my server or more recently a jupyter server that I can connect to from any device with a web browser.

Now macOS on the other hand, I absolutely despise. It was one of the first OS’s I learnt to use back in primary school, and now that I have to use it for work I have absolutely no nice things to say. Unintuitive, missing basic features and slow to navigate, and I can assure you that none of this is due to unfamiliarity…

Other than messing around with the beta for half an hour, I thankfully never had to use it.

Unpopular opinion that I have no justification for: I don’t mind windows 11 all that much

Now I’m wondering, surely someone has already made a language that’s designed to read like scripture?

The only thing that keeps me sane while working for capitalists is that I get paid to do a lot of nothing

Don’t follow unjust laws, especially when protesting. But if you do, be very aware of your legal rights and ideally go through any legal training offered by the organisation running the protest.

Yeah, airplanes are a must. I got COVID from a plane, I had intended to wear a mask but I was in such a rush that I just completely forgot to pack any, then had to sit next to a sick person…

Hey thanks!

I’m actually doing really well now, it was a bit shaky for a while but I’m back out on my bike and slowly building up my endurance again.

Lost an enormous amount of muscle, but I’m just glad to feel alive again!

I’m back to wearing masks indoors in public though, that’s not something I ever want again.

I had COVID a few weeks ago, my fitness goals are now: be awake for an entire day

Fml.

I had a fossil before I bought my Samsung, and it was a god awful mess. Barely functional, slow and honestly kind of ugly.

Still, a shame to lose more competitors.
