I just learned yesterday I could auto upload photos with the SA phone app. I've been doing it manually with the imgur app then copy and pasting. My images will mostly be fine except for anything posting today. I wonder if the app uses an account or will be integrating an account so we won't lose things. It's really so convenient to just upload via the unofficial SA app, that would be a real blow to lose it, especially for me so quickly haha.

Years reading cereal boxes did far more for my language skills than any classes I took in school. French food labels don't even really seem to jump out as a Canadian thing in my mind, like specific brands do. They just are part of a normal label. It certainly jumps out at me in the US when it changes to Spanish, or English only. Or in the EU, where it can be a whole array of languages on labels.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: we are living in a time that will come to be known as a dark age.

This will not be the last time that massive amounts of information we've put into computers simply vanishes.

there is already a tremendous amount of information locked up behind stuff like discord, twitter, facebook, and so on, that will be lost when these services inevitably disappear because there is not going to be a good way to migrate this data because it's unlikely that such a mechanism will be provided by the service owner

I want to joke that nothing was lost when google plus died because no one used google plus but, in general, google spends a lot of effort in making it easy to export your data

Yeah, I'm gonna start using this from now on. Hope it lasts. They have apparently been around for a long time, so maybe it will stick.

This is something that worries me a lot. You can't even Archive.org this stuff. They are silos, isolated, unconnectable from outside, and make it impossible to migrate that data elsewhere.

And tons of people are using Discord for stuff that isn't chat. I used to get tech info about fighting games from wikis and forums, now it's all hidden away on Discord stickies. I have heard a lot of recent repair info is ending up there, too.

It's basically non-discoverable to most people and will soon disappear without a trace. What a waste.

A salad with a bunch of watercress and anything else you may enjoy. Eat healthy!

🤔 Big salad, you say? I could do big salad. Only trouble with fresh veg is I'll be out of town for 5 days so I need to buy the correct amount to not have the rest turn to mush.
Also I don't think the store I'm going to go to has watercress, at least I don't remember seeing it there. It's not super popular over here I think.

I dunno how well a burrito would work with watercress, maybe with fish or something.

oof

I always have problems with keeping too many fresh things, especially fruits and vegetables, when I lack the time to prepare them before they go bad :smith:

I was thinking double decker tacos since it's been a bit since I made them. I could make some like coleslaw or some kind of side salad with them.

I did think possibly burrito. I could make a bunch of filling and freeze it. Actually I have this vacuum sealed sous vide pork I bought a while ago that I ought to use. It's Sicilian seasoned, but that's not going to be a barrier. It would make good carnitas. Plus I have microwave Peruvian lentils... Cook up some rice... Yeah that could work. Just need some veg. And it means I could have a side salad too because 2 double decker tacos is pretty loving filling when I make them.

Hey I need help with an ethical dilemma!

I have a job offer sitting here. It's [numbers about salary and vacation and other benefits removed]. So as you can see I'm not sure if I should make this move or not, it'd be more of a lateral move that might benefit the work I'm doing more than me, per se. But the work is something I created, so I'm still vested in [stupid philosophical tangent removed].

What do you think, BYOB?

Without more info, it kind of sounds like a recipe for disaster. Distance yourself from the work you created for a moment: would you still take that job offer? How stable do you think it will be this time?

Well, that goes without saying. Are you even working at a new job if you don't get a five finger discount and seduce your boss? Preferably both things at the same time.

The most important question you need to ask yourself about this job... the most important , is "will this job get me laid".

Probably neither job and do some sort of highly symbolic protest instead, like setting fire to a politician.

It's 2023. Always be switching jobs unless you're a CEO or someone that gets an expensive contract in exchange for guaranteed work product for a fixed period. If you left in the middle of working on something you own, then it keeps management on their toes and more nimble. Make the executives work harder for their own pay. Make them value documentation and mentorship. Once you have an out, you have no obligation to make their long term plans easier.

I guess, as long as you do the customary 2 week notice, you won't be entirely burning any bridges.

One other reason to stay is if you've got a good benefit package, and a db pension, but those things seem to be relics of the last century.
