    Buying computers and other devices just makes me frustrated. That's why I try to do it as little as i can.

    Enshittification is such a pain. You have to do so much research about which anti-features and general bad support to avoid.

    For today's lunch, I'm trying #Whataburger. People from #Texas seem to think it is wonderful, but my experiences in #Louisiana were inconsistent. Maybe this location in #Alabama will be different.

      WSJ News Exclusive | U.S. to Expand Troop Presence in Taiwan for Training Against China Threat
      from WSJ
      As tensions with China rise, the U.S. will deploy between 100 and 200 troops in the coming months, up from roughly 30 a year ago, to bolster a training program for the island’s military.

    I had not to my knowledge worked with this guy before, though he claims to remember me from assignments in #Lousiana and #Missouri. (In #MO, I was field supervisor in charge of tech support for all facilities outside Jefferson City in the entire state. Maybe he was in JCMO, but he sure wasn't in any of "my" offices.)

    I recently had to ride to a few offices with another techpeep. I, of course, was masked. He, on the other hand, was not.

    I don't recall how the discussion got there, but we were talking about shutting down schools due to the #COVID-19 pandemic and he said that "we knew from the beginning that it basically did not affect children and that we didn't need to do that". I pointed out that we did not know any such thing, and that despite generally less severe effects, those kids live with parents, grandparents, and other adults ... sending them into germ factories unmasked (as he'd have wanted) would have been a death sentence for many of the adults in these kids' lives.

    Then I mentioned that most schools have ventilation issues and many are in buildings that date back 50-100 years. (And in fact, one of the facilities we were supporting was in an old school that was probably built in the late 1940s or early 1950s. In this case, it was an area of small towns where almost everyone under 50 had left to find jobs, so most of the schools closed.) He insisted that all schools had done ventilation upgrades in 2020 as the pandemic spread across the nation.

    At that point, I understood that this person likely ingested too much propaganda from a certain "news" channel, much of which is probably originally designed in Moscow, so I stopped responding.

    He was probably a normal or nearly-normal person until the fear that #2019-nCoV was a plot by #China and the #Democrats to displace #Trump came about. I don't have any indication that this is what he believed / believes, but I think a lot of #anti-vaxxers and #anti-maskers started there and moved on to their extreme beliefs afterward.

    #CalJobs is hot garbage. If I do a search with a distance from $CITY limit, most results will come from outside the limit (though they do at least sort them properly, so one can just take the first results until they are too far away).

    Since this is operated through "Geographic Solutions, Inc.", the same company that operates sites for most states' JobService / American Job Center programs, it is very likely that all such sites have similar issues.

    Apparently, there's going to be a "Twitter coin" that gets associated with likes and retweets, so that people who post popular tweets get rewarded. At least, that's what I've seen people posting. I have not logged into #Twitter to see for myself.

    @clacke RE: https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1063-f6b4-f0ab-746366466476

    Sometimes it can be a little ridiculous, but it really does help when someone compares to an easily visualized object. I had no idea how large a Starlink satellite is until a news item compared it to a Dodge Ram pickup truck. Saying it is "$length_measurement long" or that it is "$volume_measurement in total size / volume" doesn't always work as well.

      US Americans have no problem accepting the metric system at all, as long as you call meters "emperor penguins" and kilograms "sable ferrets".

    They called while I was immersed in a 80 miles drive (each direction). I was unable to answer. Hopefully they call again.

    The callback could be days away, so I won't hold my breath. The one good thing is that $NEWBANK _is_ receiving my direct deposits. If and when I get into the site, I can pay some bills.

    Got through. The person on the phone can see the information that the earlier person changed, but not the information that their website retains.

    I'm in the callback queue for their web team.

    "Your call is important to us. Please continue to hold and an available representative will be with you shortly."

    At least they are using a different background music loop than they used earlier today.
