@mike FB is mostly interested in this recent acquisition because they want to reverse the polarity on this tech.

Mark Shane Hayden (msh@coales.co)'s status on Tuesday, 24-Sep-2019 08:31:27 EDT Mark Shane Hayden @danie10 this whole "serverless" is a big steaming pile of bovine excrement. It is just abstraction of infrastructure. Not only is it (somebody else's) servers, it is "MOAR SRVRS lolz"!
The "right way" to do it is apparently to completely abdicate responsibility for all your infrastructure and planet in the hands of a big cloud company. The trade-offs of this convenience and scalability (to a point that almost nobody will ever, or should, need) are severe lock-in and dependency hell.

Mark Shane Hayden (msh@coales.co)'s status on Monday, 23-Sep-2019 23:56:20 EDT Mark Shane Hayden @ink_slinger there seems to be a point of diminishing returns when it comes to vehicle size and fuel economy (petroleum or otherwise). You can get a car half the size and lose a great deal of utility for an incremental reduction of fuel consumption.
If I recall you had a little Trillium travel trailer as well? It can be handy to have one vehicle *just* big enough to tow it comfortably instead of a second tow vehicle which by just existing has environmental impact.

Mark Shane Hayden (msh@coales.co)'s status on Monday, 23-Sep-2019 18:20:26 EDT Mark Shane Hayden @ashfurrow then there is the short date format fiasco as well. How many years should it really take to eradicate the incorrect dd/MM/yyyy and replace it with the correct #ISO8601 in our locale?

Tragically ironic?

Mark Shane Hayden (msh@coales.co)'s status on Sunday, 22-Sep-2019 18:01:47 EDT Mark Shane Hayden @kaniini I think it was the In'n'Out knock-off chain Caliburger that has the automated operation. It saves labour without a doubt but their burgers are still 75 cents more expensive than the man made equivalent. Also there is this...

Interestingly even though food production was completely automated the number of workers on a shift was still similar to a regular fast food place. At least the jobs that remained are skilled enough that they'd be $15+/hr.

Mark Shane Hayden (msh@coales.co)'s status on Sunday, 22-Sep-2019 17:35:10 EDT Mark Shane Hayden @sean if you are talking specifically about burgers and fries of the "quality" served up in typical fast food places, automation has been a list effective option for over 20 years, but the ability of it to replace workers has been somewhat underestimated. Automated cleaning and other maintenance is a LONG way off.
COMPLETE automation reduces fast food outlets to vending machines. I have seen such machines that cook and assemble burgers and fries. They are high maintenance and QA is an issue.

Mark Shane Hayden (msh@coales.co)'s status on Sunday, 22-Sep-2019 16:27:17 EDT Mark Shane Hayden @hund considering what an absolute garbage company FB is I am quite astonished that your employer depends on them that much for their business communication. I would bring these concerns to the attention of the employer. If FB is all up in your business like that they are guaranteed to be just as up in the business of your employer too.
There are and always have been better alternatives to FB. By outsourcing communication to FB they have given away control over it. Seems very foolish.

Mark Shane Hayden (msh@coales.co)'s status on Sunday, 22-Sep-2019 01:32:00 EDT Mark Shane Hayden I wanted to reply to this earlier but I forgot...
On a somewhat related note, online interactions are much more delightful when you tell those uninitiated to short codes that wtf means "Wow, that's fantastic!"
Everyone should think "wow, that's fantastic" when they see wtf.

Mark Shane Hayden (msh@coales.co)'s status on Saturday, 21-Sep-2019 14:06:10 EDT Mark Shane Hayden @apLundell I thought the point of mystery boxes was for the manufacturers and retailers to outsource the disposal of their garbage to their customers.

Mark Shane Hayden (msh@coales.co)'s status on Friday, 20-Sep-2019 18:32:48 EDT Mark Shane Hayden I am probably not a typical mastodon user. I started my instance 2.5 years ago having never been in the fediverse before, so my timelines were completely blank and I basically bootstrapped them by following gargron and a couple others found outside of mastodon, then following anyone who was interesting in the mentions and boosts! :blobtonguewink:
That might not work for everyone but boy it sure makes moderation less of a burden when the instance is small
