When I think about shadow puppets my brain always dusts off this golden oldie:

It doesn’t even need to be fancy or expensive

This doesn’t stop the drastic drop in popularity (and potentially development) of FOSS apps.

Lack of users means lack of donations.

We need to stop this BS instead of just trying to get a workaround.

Underpromise and overdeliver.

I was a Webmaster 15 years ago. I learned very quickly not to say how long anything takes.

Qoute 3~5 times the wrench time. Then report when you like.

Might be so. He said it in the first person so it could’ve been BS.

My ex brother in law is a commercial refrigeration tech. He did a emergency call to a restaurant that was losing temp on thier walk in freezer. Loaded with food that needed to be kept under freezing. Time was of the essence or all the food would be tossed due to health codes.

He came out diagnoses it. Qoutes a few grand to fix it. Approved. Then he fixes it in like 15min. Just tightened a single screw.

The owner was pissed he paid a few grand for 15min and a single screw tweak.

Tech looked at him and said he paid for it to be fixed. The fact that the fix was a single screw and which screw needed tweaking was specialized knowledge. He paid for the knowledge not the time.

I took that lesson to heart working in IT or really any field. Even when hiring people to do stuff for me. Sometimes it’s not just the labor it’s also the knowledge.

Security? How much? No. Skip it.

Everyone is talking about getting a fairphone and whatnot but I’m concerned about the open source apk communities shutting down since the market share and interest is killed by this.

“I don’t want jewels… I just want to suck your cock.”

Will you be my friend?

I find some places now wait a few days to kick in the good sales. Then stagger it to by 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%

Its a game to figure out the sweet spot between discount and selection.

I just did the first joke in my wife yesterday.

Her: “Get out”

Well see how she treats the groan… We got a one more avacado.

I love this rofl

I was talking to my best friend who has a girlfriend that has a gun h9bby about Valentines day.

I told him to buy her a model Tommy gun for vday.

I told her in person he refused my advice.

Her response: “that’s fucked up” 😐

This actually happened to me last month. I had to touch code from a previous team/project I was on.

I got the call for a collaboration/consult. I forgot everything about it. Jumped in a meeting next day anyway. We pulled up the code. Everything was documented and I had a section with parameters for a “wish” feature that they actually wanted finally. I pointed it out and told them the needful to finish the feature.

Thank you past me. I’ll have to buy you a drink.

Then I had a nice 5pm Scotch.

I have this but also visual voicemail. So I still never listen to voices unless the transcript bugged out

Optimization?
What’s that?

Scrivener is pretty damn good if you’re into writing.

For novels, screenwriting or things like DnD it’s got a corkboard with scene cards you can drag and drop around to make the story flow better.

It also has character management with little cheat sheets for notes. You can track character persona/relationships nicely.

$60, lifetime purchase with free upgrades and you can install on all your computers in your household

I could see a use case for this…

You work in a office and keep this in your shirt pocket set to voice activation.

Good to capture any conversations to CYA in funky situations. Basically wearing a wire.

The fact that you found this is wild
