Fully grown adults not understanding the difference between Socialism and National Socialism is actually shocking, given that they could overcome their ignorance within five minutes through a search and some reading.

I managed to get in a midweek paddle on Wednesday and enjoyed a nice relaxing sunset in the kayak. #Berlin
The smoothed-brain bosses at newsrooms continue to make the dumbest calls by killing off some of the best talents they possess. Axios are the latest. Sad for all those in the team affected, hopefully they are snapped up by better employers very soon.
Jacque Schrag@jacqueschrag.com · 2w agoSome sad news: Axios has eliminated their #dataviz team, which means I have a few former colleagues who are going to be looking for work. @daniellealberti.bsky.social was one of the best managers I’ve ever had and her eye for hiring the right people to round out a team is second to none.
People who end every report name with "report" call ATMs "ATM machines."
Back to school drone and action cam, for all of their educational needs.
I'm so sick and tired of seeing YouTube thumbnails with exaggerated facial expressions and hand gestures. You're talking about tech, I KNOW you're not literally jaw-dropping over a new toggle button or whatever. Yeah, algorithms and clicks, I know. I'm just too old for this shit 😑
Kids playing with clay: 'Why is it so soft?' Me and my wife:
@powerbiferrytales.bsky.social I'm the Engineering Manager for the team that builds the Metrics App. I'll do my best to reply to the comments and route feedback to the appropriate teams. We definitely don't hate you guys.
Did the person who built the Fabric Capacity Metrics report actively hate data visualisation, and was the result an intentional hate crime against people who care about user friendly report design?
Choosing something to watch with your sigot is a hilarious experience. 'I want to watch a comedy.' No No No No Not that No No No *Hands the remote over* 2 minutes later we're watching the popular comedy 12 Monkeys.
📊 My and @jhilden.bsky.social’s book has been out of print for some time, as our publisher closed down its general publishing arm. We are working on a 2nd edition, but it is not going to be ready anytime soon, so we’re making the current edition available as an e-book for €9.90. payhip.com/b/zbl43

Enjoying some beach whilst cosplaying as the man from Del Monte.
1: Amazing punditry to state that you now believe a team in the quarter finals actually has a chance. 2: England will now get destroyed by Norway
Driving home with a car full of sleeping people after a day spent in the outdoors is quite a wonderful feeling.
I don't like to speak on behalf of other people, but I really do feel that as close as possible to 100% of the population of this planet do not give a fuck about the Reflecting Pool.
Apparently you can now watch 'Banana ball' live on Disney+. I wont stay up for World Cup matches, but you can guarantee I'll be staying up to find out what the hell this is!
Posting a ridiculously elaborate Fabric App is the new 'sharing your first Power BI report which consists of a bar chart, column chart a pie chart and a Treemap'.
Enjoying a gentle paddle in the Finowkanal. I had a great time taking a friend out for his first time kayaking. Slowest paddle of my life, but a great day chatting on the water.
If you vote for me to be President of the world, I will make it illegal to send 'Your parcel has been shipped' notifications when all they have done is printed the label.
Honestly incredible stuff but this made me gasp: "For $100 million a year we can get clean oceans,” he said. This is less than the annual marketing budget of most major consumer goods companies that produce the plastic The Ocean Cleanup is pulling from the sea. techfixated.com/young-invent...
Young inventor who left engineering studies removes nearly 50 million kilograms of ocean plastic, aims to eliminate 90% of floating waste by 2040
'There was a time when the oceans were filled with plastic, and then we solved it':

Is it just me or are people overlooking another negative aspect of the AI boom, and that is the number of excellent and highly knowledgeable people that leave the industry because they just can't be arsed with all the BS?

You know what's worse than overuse of the em dash? LinkedIn posts about overuse of the em dash.
It's almost as if shoving your product down people's throats makes those people hate and reject your product.
