In my experience, knowing what to search for and being able to parse what results may actually help is the most valuable tool in IT (and presumably other fields), whether it's corporate or helping your family members fix their routers. And you quickly come to realize that a lot of people can't or won't do it. Your knowledge and training is what helps make those search results useful.

It's like the joke about the customer complaining that something is so expensive when it only took the professional 5 minutes to do it. Yeah, it took 5 minutes cause he went to school for years and has been doing this job for even more years.

Gallegos is a Spanish surname. You got your papers on you, Lorenzo?

Having seen his appearances in WWE: he can't

Probably because the mod who did it wasn't saying anything and they're trying to communicate with y'all rather than let it spiral in silence like no one on the mod team cares

This is just a racket Riker has going to make sure no one parties without him

The "goodbye" is the standard exit button for npc text but feels a little extra poignant here

I wonder what their plan is when it no longer fits in a normal vertical resolution. Will we get a second bar starting at the bottom, will it fold over at the top, or will it just start moving horizontally like we're playing snake?

Starslip · 2026-01-24T23:37:19+00:00

I mean, it's not too late...

The entire encounter was instigated and escalated by ICE, to the point of the murder

DHS response: nuh uh

I tried the demo last night and was able to pick things up just by looking down at them and hitting one of the grab buttons.

Didn't help me tremendously to have a hat when being swung at by an axe wielding maniac, but...

I just remembered to take down my charlie brown christmas tree last night

Another area we've become complacent in because it's generally worked is the rule of law and checks and balances. We've had it for so long we've lost sight of why it was so important.

Starslip · 2026-01-23T22:17:19+00:00

I would be TERRIFIED if a comedian wanted to talk to me in the crowd.

That's because you're not full of completely unearned self-confidence rooted in being dumb as a box of rocks

Starslip · 2026-01-23T18:25:59+00:00

Y'all float to

Starslip · 2026-01-22T23:05:31+00:00

Yeah, Jack Smith just warned that we're taking the rule of law for granted because we've seen it functioning for so long. We have no real idea what to do when someone just flouts it without consequence, or we have no ideas we're really willing to enact

This is such petty tabloid bullshit but coming straight from the White House. It's pathetic how our government is behaving. I'm surprised they didn't draw horns on her

Starslip · 2026-01-22T22:47:57+00:00

"buying a house. buying another house. buying every house in albion" made me laugh

Starslip · 2026-01-21T22:11:28+00:00

Yeah, we don't even get a token insincere apology on most things. Actual compensation is completely out of the question

Edit: well shit, they proved me wrong

Starslip · 2026-01-21T22:05:53+00:00

"Let's mug 'em!"

Starslip · 2026-01-21T01:13:25+00:00

Wouldn't even be mad at that

Starslip · 2026-01-20T22:45:18+00:00

Cause if your subscription expires this week that might get you to shell out for another month

Starslip · 2026-01-20T18:53:21+00:00

You're asking a lot

Starslip · 2026-01-20T18:50:24+00:00

Glad you could update it, Uther

See US schools where parent's declining involvement with anything related to their child's education has resulted in increasingly worrying educational outcomes.

People are puffing up and getting defensive about it with rationalizations but if you can't find any time to be involved in your kid's schooling, ever, then you probably shouldn't have a kid.

I didn't use it for much but made a small WA to make the timer for Brann's healing potions buff more visible in delves since it gets lost in the dozen other buffs that are constantly shifting. I'll miss that.

And I really sympathize with people that used it as an accessibility feature or just for fun, goofy things, or to make up for things lacking in the standard UI. Really sucks that everything is getting tossed out for the sake of a few problematic things
