iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

So I opened the can on a regular Monday. (They were way better than I thought!) But it reminded me to maybe not save everything for the right time? Maybe I can make regular days better by choosing to make them "special". Wear the dress. Enjoy the dessert first. Watch the movie. Eat the sardines.

Today, I found a box of sardines I've saved for probably close to ten years. Sardines. Canned. Because it was from Portugal in a pretty, pink box with nice branding. I've saved a box of sardines for "the right occasion". Meaning it has been sitting hidden in a cabinet for ten years.

I'm the kind of person who saves everything until a special occasion or until I've "deserved" it. Pretty dress? Save it for a party. Dessert? Only after I've finished dinner. A good movie? Definitely for an evening I can properly enjoy it. Today, I found something that made me rethink my choices.

Jeg utbrøt "satan!" da jeg leste det siste ordet 😳 Gikk det bra?

They took memory cards and sold us cloud storage. They took CDs and DVDs and sold us streaming. They took software you bought once and turned it into a monthly subscription. Corporate America figured out the real money wasn’t in selling you something. It was making sure you NEVER actually own it.

Good news, everyone. The meeting about protecting focus time was well attended. Do you need focus time to focus on your focus time? Wrong answers only!

I'm a hypocrite. Personally, I detest (gen) AI. I despise big tech for monetizing human creativity, contributions, connections and communities, then renting it back to us. At work, though? I have three licenses and use them every day to be able to keep up with tasks. I hate it.

If you "support the community" by frequently positioning yourself on the center stage in the spotlight while the community are your "guests" or "participants", you're not the good person you think you are.

The number of apologists in this thread is insane… It’s simple, don’t market your product as limitless when there are clear limits (yes I was in the Synapse Analytics trenches). Be clear about your ability to provide your services and people will understand. Limit at creation time and people won’t…

Ah yes because every single company around the world has a dedicated person to scrape and understand every single detail of complicated licensing and limitations, that's why we use IaaS, PaaS and SaaS 🤠

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

Microsoft is very much part of the problem hyping up AI, and customers are paying for it, literally and figuratively.

I've heard the same about both Central US and East US 😵

This is the cloud provider many of us have trusted with our business-critical infrastructure, systems and applications. Now they cannot manage their own infrastructure. They are shoving the responsibility and consequences over on their customers instead. And we're not publicly enraged!? 👀

"To prioritize resources for existing customers in an Azure region, Microsoft may restrict access for customers without resources in that location." learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/... Why aren't more people loudly screaming about this? 🚨

Life is good ❤️ I'm spending less time on social media, more time with my two- and four-legged loves. I'm enjoying gaming again, often laughing uncontrollably. I'm finally working to live instead of living for work. If a slower, more meaningful life is the millennial midlife crisis, I'll embrace it.

A quote is important. It's shareable. It's pure unfiltered wisdom. Even if it says nothing.

Guide to happy

4 panel comic;
Panel 1: a pink blob man with a green sprout on his head and wearing a blue shirt. In the background a brown blob vaguely shaped like a dog with a smiley face. Test reads ‘I see dog’
Panel 2: the pink blob man seems to be approaching the dog on little stick legs. Text: I approach (carefully)
Panel 3: he now has his hand on the dogs head, it’s ears pressing down. Text: “I pet dog (respectfully)
Panel 4: he is walking away again now into the foreground. Dog still smiling in the background. Text: “I happy”

Oxygen Not Included on Steam

If you're a perfectionist, terrified of failing and hate losing control, I highly recommend playing Oxygen Not Included. You'll have no clue how to start, make every mistake possible, and learn the hard way how easy it is to kill your colonies 😬 You'll hate it and love it and get over your fears 😂

Oxygen Not Included is a space-colony simulation game. Deep inside an alien space rock your industrious crew will need to master science, overcome strange new lifeforms, and harness incredible space t...

Good thing she's naturally extra ✨extra✨ then, makes it easy for you to create those thumbnails 😄

Interesting! Do you notice a big difference with/without faces regardless, or does it depend more on the topic? 🤔
