Absolute game changer adding in acids to my dishes. npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: Tim Cook did what needed to be done from a CEO perspective, but he wasn't exactly revolutionary. He made the line go up. I would hope someone with the hardware/engineer background might push Apple to innovate, but realistically, why would they take the risk? No one is going to challenge the Apple ecosystem any time soon. For most users that can afford it, the Apple walled garden is pretty nice, relatively secure, and mostly privacy conscious. It's far from perfect, but compared to whatever MS is these days (and younger me is screaming right now) Apple is my clear choice for "it just works" computing. npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: ah yes, the darf method npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: release the CATS butthole cut npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: i think i should become the pope npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: I feel like I need a sign for when I'm at the coffee shop that says "im friendly, feel free to share the table" because seating is exceptionally limited and I'm a bit grumpy looking š

F-150 XLT doesn't have seats by default and is pretty close if not more depending on options. npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: For those of you who remember ScreamingGoat, they're currently looking for a new role.

That may also be just good excuse to move strategic tankers into the EU. Seems to largely be stratotankers which are refueling planes but there are some others heading that way. https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/nato-jets-to-exercise-near-finnish-border-with-russia/ npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: all my homies hate JavaScript npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: nope, they completely hijack it. npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: for all of the other shit that meta does, one of the most frustrating things is when instagram hijacks the back button so you cant back out of the tab to google results and you have to close the tab and start over. npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: If being hard on yourself worked, you'd be better by now.

Ive been remote since 2017, i love working remote and i hate commuting, but I've been introduced to an interesting opportunity and debating what that tradeoff looks like to me. npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: people really have zero clue even after all this time how to layer and scale security solutions based on legitimate risks of threats. Susan in accounting might need a little more security than Joe in the mail room, but they dont need the full paranoid hardware token suite that the security / domain admins need. It blows my mind that "security professionals" cannot assess these risks and scale appropriately. Perfection is the enemy of good, and this industry is still tripping over its own feet.... npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: It bothers me that so many lessons learned have happened in the engineering world but the IT world is just hitting ourselves in the dick over and over again because slowing down 10% to do it right might cost a few people a little money. npub189aul4wmz2uf8sw5t3vdzx5wn0n0eweaphzfrjs8jkqnkd54rr0qrhr5yz darf :BlobhajMlem: Coworker 1:"why do we have three dumpster fire emojis" Coworker 2:"you know how the Eskimo have a lot of words for snow....?"
