Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 22/04/2026It is once again time for me to reintroduce myself, I think. I'm Iris: I write a blog at deadsimpletech.com/blog about the impacts of the tech industry on culture and humanity in general. I also work as a technical consultant and coach/mentor in the data, infrastructure and web spaces. 2309
Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 07/04/2026One would think that, if they're all in on the LLMs, they could have at least used the LLM to *proofread the job listing*? Like, an LLM would probably have *caught the typo in the title*. 171
Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Yeah, that about says it all about our current situation, doesn't it? I do wonder at what point we'll be able to start applying the logic of 'the fact that some Muslims created DAESH and did lots of atrocities does not mean that all Muslims are complicit in terrorism" to Jews. 0254

Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 22/12/2025This place really is becoming the Vienna coffeehouse of social media, isn't it? (Adrian, I love your books! Emma, I'm afraid I've not read any yet but I'm pretty sure I will love them when I read them!) 0100

Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 16/11/2025There are a fair few beliefs that I might well die for if push really came to shove, and it's a little concerning that Aella doesn't seem to have any. 070
Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 10/10/2025The major issue I have with the UFO thing is that I'm pretty sure we know what they are. A B-2 in cross section looks almost identical to most descriptions of the "flying saucer" type. Like, uncannily so. 020
Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 29/09/2025Ban me, then. I fucking dare you, you tasteless, moralising little twerps. 040
Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Your last saved photo is your moral philosophy (oh dear) 030

Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 03/06/2025My partner works in special effects makeup. She has been a little down on herself lately, but she is *very good* at what she does. This has been her latest work. 130
Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 17/05/2025To celebrate my first real weekend in what feels like years, I made Eggs Benedict. Goddess, I love being able to make my own hollandaise 060

Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 17/01/2025One can derive much simple pleasure from giving ChatGPT the Voight-Kampff test. 040
Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 23/12/2024A non-LoTR character who could resist the One Ring (if only because he's depressed enough to convince himself he doesn't deserve it) 020
Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Have just passed a thousand followers on here! Thank you so much to all of you: to celebrate, here's a picture of my friend's bunny 020
Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Here we go: pierogi for a late thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. 75 are pierogi ruskie, 21 are with beef and coriander (I ran out of filling) 010
Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Gorgeous friesians. Most of the cows where I live are a friesian-jersey cross, and while they're very productive milk-wise, they aren't as pretty. 100
Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Dear LinkedIn, when setting up an obvious dark pattern to keep people subscribing to Sales Navigator well past the point at which the trial stops being useful, *for the love of all things holy don't be a bunch of condescending shits about it!* 000
