UK, London, #leSigh The lizabet line is, what, 4 or 5 YO now? The first time i rode it, there was no wobble. Today it wobbles/ sways in some patches (like DLR).
This is quite fast ageing, compared to build time or build cost.

It might not wobble in winter.

@arno_in_sing oh, we switched in 2018. I keep voting Green 1, ALP 2 & Liberals last but the bastard governments keep giving hand jobs under the table to Gina, Cliev et al. #lesigh @ketan

A customer has spent the last three weeks pissing about with their 68 x M365 licenses in the hope of saving £50! 🤦🏻‍♂️

What was it about "oooh look at Apple, they can't even make the border radius the same across all the apps..."?

Receive screenshot of an email over teams. So that I can download the png. OCR it. Copy the text content to deepl. Fill in captcha to prove that I am, in fact, living breathing and weeping adult man. And read the content of said email. Like god intended in the year of the lord 2026...

Uuugghh
Crazy day at work, broke sweat twice, came home and the water is off and no notice why.

Called the "emergency maint" number and got an answering machine, so I hunted down the corp mgmt company and left a pointed message.

Who leaves a whole buildings water off all night?!?!? 🤬🤬🤬

Sigh.. glad I just made tea but its gonna be stinky Charlie for a while..

OH: „Bei dem Problem mit $MicrosoftProdukt werde ich erst einmal Copilot fragen. Der wird ja wohl seine eigenen Produkte am besten kennen.“

#LeSigh

there is now more

EDIT: TIL, I think that using `shutdown -r now` doesn't count for rebooting in modern ubuntu. #leSigh.
It thought i hadn't rebooted in over a year, as i didn't use a GUI button, or an actual power button to reboot.

Alarmed by a billion PCs still using #Windows10, MS extends security support for another year til Oct 2027.

I'm running an inherited PC which was a hot-shit gamer box in 2015. With SSDs it's a proper screamer, booting in about 12 sec. It's not Win11 compatible and I don't want win 11 if I can avoid it.

I don't want to replace it and I def am not interested in Linux stuff as several of my #hamradio apps are not compatible with them.

Mmmmmmh,… ICE fährt ein. Wagenreihung ist falsch rum. Also einmal von quasi ganz hinten nach ganz vorne.

Enterprise-ware, #leSigh.
Someone's production website where AFAICT "RWD" is run JS to compute screen size and guess mobile (a boolean).
then do a HTTP refresh with screen size as GET args.

No, im not running a weird browser.

The sheer ignorance of some tech "journalists" INFURIATES me.

Today the NYTimes featured on its homepage an article about how "The Netherlands blocked a U.S. company from buying a Dutch firm that handles its national ID system."

🔗​: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/technology/solvinity-kyndryl-blocked-deal-us-europe-rift.html

So far, so good.

But the journalist behind the article wrote in the comments section:

"More and more, countries in Europe want to disentangle themselves from American tech. What's less clear is what exactly they can replace it with."

EXCUSE ME ADAM SATARIANO, THERE IS A GALAXY OF EXCELLENT FREE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE THAT MANY EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS ARE ALREADY USING.... OR EVEN BUILDING AT THE MOMENT.

Maybe I should have gone into journalism after all #lesigh

It's really depressing when you find out that someone you've conversed with for a while is, in fact, a bellend.

I'm more disappointed in myself than them, given that I have a deluded level of "Working people out quickly" #LeSigh

#Random. Following a "everything in black" aesthetic is demanding. I will need to legally move Angola to get a black passport. #leSigh

rent in sydney is nuts.

housing prices in sydney are nuts.

when i do the maths on the repayments on said nuts housing price... its +10% cheaper then my rent.

but i'm afraid that if i lose my job i wont be able to make the repayments and i'll lose everything.

Oooh, this resource👇🏻 is going to be *incredibly* helpful whenever I may try to question / explain the uberisation of #GenAI coming soon to an org. near you! 😜

We've been here before, haven't we?, and we don't seem to have learned much from previous mistakes with other tech hype cycles, specially, when you connect the dots with trends like this one I shared a while ago 😔👉🏻 https://mastodon.social/@elsua54/116482791455221637

@theru I've had a lifetime of being stabbed in the back. There's nothing worse than thinking they're your friend when all along they weren't.

I'm not sure what's more insulting: being stabbed in the back or being accused of being aggressive when you stand up for yourself?

#LeSigh

@penguin42 I'm surprised at the level of voting for the Greens. A Reform voter tells me it's due to the Green Party's Gaza and Foreign Policy, and yes, the rise in Muslim voters. #LeSigh

If there's one thing I cannot stand, it's someone who thinks they are clever when, in fact, my dog has more intelligence than they do.

If you're going to attempt a cunning plan, make sure the person you're trying to get one over on doesn't have the nous to speak to the person your whole subdifuge depends on. There's nothing worse than when two stories don't match!

What a performance ordering something off Fakebook. #LeSigh
