I’m still not sure what a project manager contributes.

I’ve well over a decade in software project management. The number one thing we contribute to a project is saying to the client (internal or external) “Sure, we can add that feature but it will have an impact on the delivery timeline unless we deprioritise other features. Are you happy for us to extend the deadline? If not, let’s talk about what we can cut from the existing scope in favour of your new feature.”

Is Google really as shit as Bing? I had to Ask Jeeves to confirm that.

Don’t want any Debbie-downers on Shitter once his bestie is in the big chair.

Clearly fake, where’s the apology?

“Sorry, if you’re going shopping, could you pick up some Michael? We’re aboot oot, eh?”

Just wait 'til truth.social and xitter run the country. Wouldn’t be surprised if TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, MySpace, WeChat, LinkedIn, Reddit, Pinterest, Discord and Tumblr all get banned.

There’s absolutely no sensible reason to even consider not doing this.

I mostly play video games to switch off and relax. So generally I play single player RPGs on the easiest setting and just explore the world and the story.

I do occasionally play something like PUBG if I’m after some excitement but I don’t have time to master games like I did when I had no responsibilities or kids!

Although it’s not really possible to eat pizza without rawdoggin it.

Unless you use a fork and knife like a heathen

I have my butler cut up my pizza for me with a pizza knife and a pizza fork. And then I have my nanny feed it to me. “Here comes the train to the tunnel, choo-choo!”

Whoever has been left as its leadership is a dumbass.

Not in the slightest. More likely their annual bonus depends on boosting revenue right now. So they’re incentivised to generate short term increases in revenue but not for longer term. Plus, also, if/when Youtube goes tits up they’ll just get a different CEOing job (with “increased revenue by 25% in 2024 on their resume”) rinse and repeat.

Kind of my point. We gained ecommerce, streaming services, platforms such as this one, online gaming, mapping services, and others - at the cost of the freedoms for which people are nostalgic. And now we have ads, personalization, tracking, and inevitable enshitification.

Back in the days of the wild frontier things were chaotic, anarchic, violent, and unconstrained.

Then came the churches, then came the schools
Then came the lawyers, then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road

And now we’re all fenced in, regulated, allowed to wander only in approved lanes… oh, wait, sorry, we’re talking about the internet, not real life!

Me. Sigh.

Goldman Sachs is overhyped and unreliable.

I’m anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctuous to have read such pericombobulation.

Defragged cows. System files cannot be moved.

You’d say what with the what now?

Musk also told staff that he would ask for the resignation of any executive “who retains more than three people who don’t obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test.”

Pssst. Elon. You’re not any of those three things.

Pfffft. The AI couldn’t even fly its plane the right way up.

I miss Windows 3.11.

I’d be pretty distracted by the bear waiting behind me for his go.
