  Odin and Mila had a playdate; Mila was actually a bit of a cagey ice queen at first today, and it took her a while to warm up and admit that chasing Odin is fun

  An old lady stopped us on the street and gave us a plush puppy figurine she had in her walker for some reason, because it looks like Odin and therefore belongs with him. What is my RPG protagonist life

  Odin: mother, making me walk FIVE MINUTES to the end of the street we live on is a CRIME AGAINST DOGNITY. I shall register my protest by making this as obscenely difficult as possible and dragging this out to twen— IS THAT THE PARK?! Me: yes, it’s the park, the same place we’re going every time I drag you this way Odin: I LOVE THE PARK Me: 😑

  Microsoft went down for hours because of some sort of vague problem that caused their network to become massively overloaded. Later that day, the entire US airspace went down because of some sort of vague problem that caused their network to become massively overloaded. uhhh

  My discord has an emoji named "tech debt" - which is just the angzarr, ⍼, the symbol famous for having no known use or agreed-upon meaning but somehow appearing in unicode and now it's just a part of unicode forever. With so many enormous tech debt bills coming due recently, perhaps you, too, would like to take a moment to appreciate the tasteful angles of the angzarr.

  Microsoft’s outage status contains perhaps the more dire statement I have ever seen hours into a colossal outage costing people millions: “At this point, we have observed marginal success.” The status page just stopped loading for me 🙃 but it was on this page, I swear: https://status.cloud.microsoft/m365/referrer=serviceStatusRedirect

  my husband said to me two hours ago “no man cheats exactly twice, it’s one horrible mistake or it’s something he does constantly” and one hour ago a third Allegation hit the video card

  It has been 0️⃣ days since I saw someone post an image where they had covered up their address on a package but not covered up the barcode underneath So here's your safety reminder: always, always, ALWAYS censor any barcodes on mail and packages when photographing them! It is often your address or something very close to your address (such as your street). Barcodes may be printed very faintly or in fluorescent ink; double-check before assuming one isn't there, and cover it no matter how...

  RE: https://infosec.exchange/@0xabad1dea/117475066389746858 The post-mortem has finally confirmed my intuition that this was a classic “confuse first byte of array for whole array” data processing bug. A few people were weirdly hostile about the suggestion that it was probably the same way we’ve been corrupting numbers for 50 years and not the newest, least efficient way to corrupt numbers. Unfortunately, gaining a dreaded new Nemesis has not made all of software engineering’s boring old rogu...

  "Dril's candles", as told in Roman times: "So the bill is: Wine and bread, one coin. Spicy meal, two coins. Sex worker, eight coins. Hay for your mule, two coins." "That mule is driving me to bankruptcy!" source (in Dutch) https://mainzerbeobachter.com/2026/11/10/een-romeinse-mop/

  if you, a billionaire, are going to cheat on your wife with a corporate spy, at least find a spy who has a different last name from you and your wife. it really just makes the whole thing awkward

  this meme pushed me down a rabbit hole because this school in Dayton, Ohio is 100% real exactly as depicted, and the more you look into it, the worse it gets Incredibly unsafe location. Absolute sadsack excuse for a playground. The pavement looks like it's been bombarded. The curbs are cracked, the sidewalk is choked with grass, the doors look like they go to a murder basement. Most of the pictures online are of kids doing litter pickup On The Edge Of The Fucking Freeway because all the fr...

  I got a free magazine in the mail that says on the cover that “smart appliances” in the home will save the overburdened Dutch power grid. Or we could not authorize that new datacenter on the other side of town that everyone’s protesting, Femke

  Someone in my extended social circles has been having a very outwardly visible psychiatric episode, and I personally know like a dozen people trying to get through to them and help them. I think the saddest part is that they posted wondering if they even have any friends at all. An entire community desperately trying to get through to them and save them, comparing notes and trying to figure out a plan, but the psychosis is lying to them that they're all alone. I hope that talking about thi...

  Lubach (Dutch talkshow comedian) has done a piece on how it turns out that, in terms of websites written in Dutch, there is an unseen iceberg under the water: a forum dedicated to horses that has, over 25 years, amassed over a hundred million posts from very dedicated and loyal users, making it... one of the main sources of Dutch language training data in LLMs. This has caused it to be massively upranked in google search results as a Ground Truth, and pretty much every subject has been brought...

  Wendy's puts in the very first sentence of their advergame's steam page that it's made by human artists. WENDY'S. Do you have at least as much praxis as a fast food corporation?

  RE: https://mastodon.nl/@at5RSSbot/117541581765280099 so, the Dutch news does an elaborate bit every year where, with a completely straight face, as if it’s literal factual news, they report on a last-second disaster that has befallen Sinterklaas on his journey to deliver presents to the children of the Netherlands, and the urgent hard work to overcome it and deliver the presents on time Headline: all the piet costumes were destroyed in a drycleaning fire. Everyone’s scrambling to replace the...

  weirded out by Microsoft's security blog being like "we confirmed with Anthropic that they did not develop the malicious package." And the Cursor blog also said something similar. Like, yeah, uh, normally we take it for granted that these things are done by criminals who broke into something. It's like confirming the jewelry store didn't smash their own windows But I guess when an industry has cultivated a reputation for suddenly committing crimes and shrugging and saying...
