Just now:
@mike_julian: “I’m staying in the Gaslamp district.”
Me: “It’s the Gaslight district.”
Mike: “…pretty sure it’s Gaslamp?”
Me: “You’re wrong. It’s Gaslight.”

"Margaritaville" is a far darker song when you think of it not in the context of "tropical setting" but instead "Jimmy Buffet's restaurant location in Cleveland."

On a scale of 1 to Oceangate, how small can your compression algorithm make something?

If you have a captive portal wifi system that requires no login, just a "click here to continue" time waster, you should be sent to an island where the only music available is yodeling remixes.
United Club, I'm looking at you here.

When a company says they don’t take American Express for online transactions, I smell something sketchy afoot.
eBay’s email today saying they don’t take Amex anymore means I really need to close my account over there.

“My company started using GCP in the last few months, and my tolerance for sanctimonious engineering articles from Google has gone down quite a bit as a result.”
What a quote!

Google: "A lot of the AI hallucinations are from maliciosly crafted prompts to make us look bad."
Okay geniuses; why does *your own documentation example* show questions about Oppenheimer returning answers about Einstein? And of course getting every single date wrong.

Microsoft: “We’re putting security first.”
Also Microsoft: “Windows now comes with what’s functionally a screen capturing keylogger.”

From the annals of bad opt-outs: if you want to opt out of Apple's location services, simply change your SSID to end with "_nomap"
I can't wait for a regulator to slap them on the corporate dick for this.

I'm sorry Slack, you're doing fucking WHAT with user DMs, messages, files, etc? I'm positive I'm not reading this correctly.

Yeah, good luck with that Adobe.

Alan Moss, Amazon’s VP of Global Ad Sales (and apparently a user-hostile schmuck), appears to have forgotten who Prime Video's customers are.
Prime Video costs money. Am I the customer or the product here?

AWS has said that they believe the future of GenAI is an assortment of different models. I’m inclined to believe otherwise—one (or two, for images as well as text) great models that are highly versatile.
What do you think, internet?

Good morning to everyone except the thieves at Redis. You didn't build it; you stole it from the community.
If you want it from the ones who built it, it's called Valkey.

@npub1t8u…c7sk DNS beat you to the punch by a good few decades, I’m afraid.

Okay, I give up:
Why do I have to put away an 11" laptop on a plane until we're at altitude, but it's just fine to use a 12.9" tablet with an attached keyboard from gate to gate?

I offered my 3-year-old an apple and she started SHRIEKING to get away from it.
Sooooo I’m pretty sure she’s gonna be a doctor.

No notes, Amazon.

My mother HATES to feel like a burden, so she only asks me computer questions as an absolute last resort.
I give that context to show just how far the Alexa team has fallen from "customer obsession."

Twilio is like Google in that they're killing Authy, but they're unlike Google in that they've made migrating off of it an absolutely colossal pain in the neck.

#awswishlist I wish there was a clear indication which @npub1kra…eq5v regions are real vs. which ones are feature incomplete and were just yeeted over the wall to check somebody's data residency requirement box.

@npub15ml…2w4s Strangers would ideally not be able to see my shirt size at ten paces. 😕
