People need to stop treating this guy like he has any idea

He was born into money and hasn't done anything useful in his entire life

The problem with doing admin stuff over the weekend is that it feels like forever for the stuff to be processed

The other wierd thing is that there's virtually no company or government presence in bluesky

They're all committed to staying over in naziville like no other social media is worthwhile

42 minutes later I have a pac code!

Also, they asked why and where I am going as they can probably match the price

If you can match my new price why is my old price going up?

Isn't capitalism wonderful

Actually, they've never said that so at least that bit is true

Also, everytime their crap generic jazz hold music stops is like the shittest pass the parcel game

Have I won?

Nope just another sheet of newspaper, let the cheap ass music restart

Having to call O2 because I've been told what i need has to be manually done

But that means having to deal with their bloody rubbish robot.

8 minutes in and not had any human contact but constant stream of crap upselling of their app, website, robot etc

I agree, my code is usually standalone chunks of dax, sql, excel formulas and MS expressions.

Just stuff to speed me up and as have to shift between platforms multiple times a day and they're all subtly different and I'm an old forgetful dog

I use Copilot for making my work easier and quicker. Usually just building small bits of code.

But using AI for art, pleasure and thoughtfulness is just abhorrent.

If the machine gives you freedom from work but then takes away any fresh expression of art what's even the point of living?

Sold an item on ebay, first time in ages

Absolute pain in the arse with enforced an postage process and now I'm stuck in a complaint by the buyer because the parts only pc component doesn't work as described

Never using ebay ever again for selling, it's an utter piece of shit

Sounds a bit rogue, but if you're lucky you may get to be the wizard

The joke being the Mona Lisa is ridiculously revered and over protected

Still, 1989 was a banger of a year and I've got all these

Amazon is using Instagram to advertise me this shit

It's like everyday for over a week

I don't even know what these are but I do know I don't give a shit and I'm not clicking through to find out

Online advertising is just a pyramid scheme designed to burn down the planet and enrich the few

Unknown shit amazon is trying to flog me

Weird pointless plastic shit from amazon
