Strava must have changed their inference provider since they now automatically show the AI summary of your activity without any interaction.

If search engines had launched today, tech influencers would be falling over themselves labelling the use of search operators like +/-, " ", allintitle, allinurl, site, etc. as "search query engineering" 🙄

That brief instant when I have to turn off Pi-Hole to see if a website is broken (it's always a digital marketing adjacent site.... :eyeroll: ) because of it makes me feel so icky.

I can't talk to or about anyone named "Mauro" any more without going "SHUT THE FUCLK UP MAURO" in my head, why Linus why 😭

Just realised that "Copilot" is an anagram of "Clip Too". Microsoft's marketing team is really missing a trick by not pushing the "AI Clippy" angle!

Someone at work asked me if "dim_users" is a reference to stupid people and now I can't stop thinking about it.

Surely, SURELY, a basic bit of knowledge for experienced engineers joining an established team with a large codebase would be to NOT disregard Every. Single. Convention. of that codebase 🤔 Surely.

Hey Snowflake, can you make it easier than having to fire up the browser's devtools to find parts of a query plan that looks like this?

Very glad for my 12+ year-old Raspberry Pi that just keeps chugging along blocking gunk from my home network!

It's been many years since I last daily-drove a Windows machine for dev stuff, and I still miss Notepad++ when opening random text formats that are not part of a "project". Zed comes the closest to being that "lightweight, but can do everything" editor replacement, but something's still lacking.
