@Sustainable2050 and what are voters saying is most important? If this calamity isn't swinging their votes away from fascists and big oil and business what will? Why are green parties not winning elections up and down the ballot? How come people seem to be ignoring the connection between climate crisis, food prices, and migration? Could it be that recognition of cause and effect means people have to commit to changing their way of life, eating less meat, buying fewer things, traveling less, reducing waste, and start taxing polluters way more?

🎉 Behold, the self-proclaimed AI hater who bravely used AI, got results, and *gasp* didn't enjoy it. 😱 In a shocking twist of events, the author heroically endured the tribulation of success, proving once again that technology is scary and change is hard. 🙄

It's interesting (as a person with a large bowl of popcorn) how Rust is making people in both Linux and BSD thinking about long held conventions and positions that might need updating.
It's too bad these things often get turned into religious wars by people that may or may not even have any real knowledge of the issues and the impacts of change.

"Describing the slowness of change is often confused with acceptance of the status quo. It’s really the opposite: an argument that the status quo must be changed, and it will take steadfast commitment to see the job through" https://lithub.com/rebecca-solnit-slow-change-can-be-radical-change/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=pocket_hits&utm_campaign=POCKET_HITS-EN-WE < This is very good on slow change by Rebecca Solnit #change #ChangeIsHard #Activism

Frustrating experience with an older client.
Due to a slow and failing hard drive, I did a lot of work on her computer today, upgrading to an SSD. Much faster now. Fixed login issues by switching to a local login instead of a Microsoft login... you may know where this is going.
Got the computer back to her. Checking it over with her.
"Where's my calendar that I keep my entire life in?"
Months back I had helped her migrate her calendar to Thunderbird so it wouldn't be in a Microsoft product and would be easy to back up. Unbeknownst to me, she didn't keep using Thunderbird but went back to Outlook because #ChangeIsHard ... Change Is Hard.
Turns out that there were multiple Microsoft Accounts associated with her Outlook 365. When I switched to a local login to fix a login issue, it disconnect all of them. The account where we think the calendar data is stored, she doesn't know the password. Account recovery is not working.
Right now I don't want to work on computers with Microsoft products on. At all. Of course, not realistic, as the majority of my local customers use Windows.

This morning Bertie rediscovered the empty spot on the deck that once held a hot tub and barked wildly at the emptiness. I went to see if someone was at our front door and found him, assured him all was well, and listened to his grumble-whine of displeasure. He then followed me around like he needed to speak to management, or my supervisor at the very least. #DogsOfMastodon #EnglishBulldog #ChangeIsHard

In the past two weeks, I’ve researched and purchased four different types of insurance. Car, renters, car renter’s and travel.
I am frazzled. But insured.

@bryanalexander Tick-tock, change is here.
Another article on this notes: "The immediate change in Mr. Shapiro’s order, then, is a requirement that state agencies lead new job postings with questions about prior work experiences and qualifications, instead of questions about educational attainment that can discourage applicants."
