I've had it with Chase. They are such a dysfunctional bank.

That is a fantastic point.

Can someone please explain to me how you can have an automated release if the package registry requires 2FA? How does a computer running remotely look at a phone on your desk and input the code displayed on the screen. Are we just doing away with automated releases? Is that what this is?

@chrisrosie22.bsky.social I have to admit, the WLL is very watchable when the league just lets them play, especially not enforcing that stupid illegal defense rule. The all-star game was particularly exciting. I still would like to see proper head & hand protection, but perhaps it will be organic.

Engagement on this platform is abysmal. I pretty much feel like I'm just speaking into a void.

You do not have to accept unskippable ads as part of life. No where is this written as a rule of the world we live in. Reject it. Outright reject it.

@danarestia.bsky.social I just listened to your return episode. First, really glad to have you back on the pod (with some great reporting in the interim). You are a bright spot of lacrosse analysis. No other way to put it.

@danarestia.bsky.social I really don't like the rule that you can call a timeout from the defensive end. I think it spoils the spirit of the ride. You should have to clear first.

I cannot understand why they ever lift the fire ban here in Colorado. As soon as they do, we have wildfires all over the place (and even when they don't). You just can't burn shit here. It's too risky. Not unless we have a monsoon for a month straight (which we never do).

Why has voting become solely about trying to keep the most egregious people from occupying office? This country is such trash.

Except for EV brands, why does every car look the same?

I keep hearing how AI will make software so easy to write and yet Gmail still hasn't evolved beyond the mid 2010s.

Tidal announces they will be labeling and demonetizing all AI-generated music, and I'm once again so glad I switched from Spotify. No streaming app is perfect (and I do buy a LOT of music too) but this is so much better than an AI swamp.

I've been waiting for Tidal to figure out its position on AI-generated music. It finally has, and it's pretty good: -AI labeling -No using AI to impersonate real artists -AI music won't be monetized support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/art...

I don't understand why all progressives aren't vegans. Are you only progressive for humans? How do you reconcile that? Please someone explain this to me. Perhaps progressive just isn't the right label for my views, but rather something more encompassing.

@riviantrackr.com My one suggestion would be to add an option to hide the places in the driver map view. I think it's distracting with all those place names in there and makes the street names harder to see.

@riviantrackr.com Dude the map view in the driver display is awesome!

What a wild world it would be if rich people were ethical.

At this point, why are you not canceling your subscriptions?

We live in society now in which being a terrible person (by that I mean being selfish, greedy, and nasty to others), is being rewarded. It's revolting. Where have all the lessons gone that we learned growing up? Do they matter anymore? (I, for one, think they do).

I think @espn.com is a terrible company for adding unskippable ads to ESPN+ on-demand broadcasts, then having the nerve to charge more. It's just so disgusting.

@danarestia.bsky.social Please, please, please complain loudly about the breakdown booth being right before faceoff and causing the player to not be on the field in time. It's so awkward. Frankly, kill the segment because it's terrible. Or do it going into halftime. The PLL just does some cringe.

Fuck Ruby for removing the logger stdlib from the core language. It was brain-dead stupid and arrogant. It makes me never want to use Ruby again.

Nothing screams immature loser like a cloud of dark smoke spewing out of a tailpipe.

So many still don't understand the open source contract. I don't develop code for your needs. I develop code for my needs and share it with you to use however you like (in accordance with the license). Nothing says I have to continue working on it or accept contributions. I might, but I might not.

To me, agentic just sounds like a sexual term or the description of an STD. I just can't get past it. It's just so awkward.

Devoxx Belgium CFP is open! New tracks & info @ devoxx.be ❤️☕️💀

A wild idea appears... what if you could use JBang with JRuby as a complete Rails command line... no JVM or JRuby installation required? jbang rails@jruby new blog cd blog jbang rails@jruby generate scaffold ... It just needs some tweaks to work. Interested?

You can defeat these big, careless, arrogant companies that have subpar products by not giving them your money. Cancel your order. Cancel your subscription. Stop paying for crap.

Pasting a huge AI generated explanation to a problem in an issue or pull-request is nothing but RUDE. Don't do it. You look stupid and the receivers of that feel insulted. We are humans. We communicate like humans. Fine, use the tools you like, but don't insult us.

I appreciate having Rivian Assistant as a replacement for Alexa. I like where it's going. But I think Rivian analysts are being highly illusive about it. It's passable, but by no means incredible. It's like asking a toddler to press buttons on the UI for you. It barely gets the job done, and slowly.

I can't believe that it's seemly impossible to get off a group text message (RCS) unless the sender removes you from the group. Seriously, technology is so antiquated.

they should invent software updates that make the software better over time instead of worse

Do you use Node.js on Alpine Linux? We are looking for volunteers to help us bring Alpine to "Tier 2" where it would be built and released through the normal CI process. If you can help, let us know: https://bit.ly/4v03NiW

This is counter-productive and, well, just fucking stupid.

Here's what's got my mind in knots. We have AI barons proclaiming that apps will anticipate what we want, and yet I have to page through a dozen screens to continue playing the series I've been watching all week. Maybe it's all just smoke and mirrors.

I used to really enjoy watching sports on ESPN+ until it got taken over by greedy overlords who trashed the app and added forced ad breaks. So long @espn.com

I refuse to pay for a subscription service that has ads.

The Ruby language developers don't give a fuck and I've fucking had it!

The Ruby language has definitely committed itself to the enshitification trend. Why make it better when you can make it worse?

@danarestia.bsky.social These new Cascade helmets are just plain goofy. It's a step backwards. Might as well bring back the Bacharach helmets at this point.

It's so hard to emphasize just how hard the Work Items interface in GitLab is to use. It's just so terrible. I've used a lot of bad interfaces in my life, but this one takes the cake.

@danarestia.bsky.social I am outraged that the Ivy and NCAA tournaments are on ESPNU and blacked out from ESPN+. I thought we were past this. I'm seriously considering cancelling ESPN+ in protest. This is just absurd.

Something that annoys me about how people talk about Linux is they expect their experience to be 100% pain free or else it's not worth making the change. Meanwhile, their experiences with Windows and MacOS have never been pain free, but for some reason Linux is held to a higher stsndard.

I do not understand people who think Trump is “authentic”. Authentically what?? An authentic liar? Authentic manipulator? Authentic con man?? These are oxymorons.

It's really painful that Node.js can't parse XML without adding a dependency. (The same could really be said for YAML too, though XML is much more universal).

It really would be nice of npmjs.com showed the required minimum version of Node.js to use a package. It's kind of an important piece of information.
