Please can marketing stop publishing product tabular data as an image. it not mobile friendly.
Yes there is a historic no-tables-edict, but that was for layout not tabular data.

Smol voice: what is "Authenticity" in english prose?
I've been following what some authority said my entire life.
My grammar and readability is less bad than at 18, but I think I am authenticity not great at english.

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.

Yesterday i managed to simulate a fork() bomb on my self in bash, so I rebooted.
I know have UEFI updates from "unknown vendor".
Previously these have been originating in MSFT, but this doesn't look dodgy does it?
#ubuntu #computersStillConcernMeGreatly #weShouldNotTrustThisDirtySandWithImportantData
Do i really need to make a VM to find out what the update is?

#TIL about the" cite" field on some github repos.
This is useful for making attribution lists.

I'm always confused how the US confuses "stats" and "insight".
Classic WWII example (when stats was still a hand-work activity):
stats: returning planes with damage tend to have holes in these areas, X, Y, Z
insight: ....the planes that came back...you overlooked he 20% missing planes

To people that routinely use #CMS,
isn't there a feature (by about 1999), where if you delete a page, or make it not visible , it checks the rest of the site for links to that page, and removes them?
URLS ending ASPX aren't static. isn't the point of a CMS to automate dull and time consuming work?

#Healthcare when people who were teens or tweens in the 1980s will be different from earlier.people. "Do some exercise you desk-jockey" became a thing in early European gyms,
So this batch of elderly people will know "how do I tense my back muscle up?" as they *did exercise* when younger.
My dad being a 1970's tween, doesn't know this consciously.

An idle sketch I wrote earlier #BadIdea:
Does anyone know who the legal person for "lord #binface" is?
Wouldn't it be fun if no one knew, like superman. A quick custom change, having gotten into the building as a normal person with normal ID cards.
"lord binface" just appears in the right time and right place.
As all the bins are filled with liners, what if the bin is just the nearest bin of the right size.
What if lord binface always used a voice voda, like Darth vada.

Poll, "use of english". For front-end dev, Is supporting a wide range of devices
* "scaling" the UI,
* or being "customer centric and building a large audience"
Similarly, is "applying RWD" described as
* "scaling" the UI
* or "being a reasonable human being"
Thirdly, for asset management is it
* "scaling the assets"
* doing due care on quality (minify, tree shaking, code splitting etc)
I don't think I scale FE that much.

Modern linux: I installed a text editor
(via snap)
It complains it can't do stuff in the firmware and doesn't finish loading.
...
sorry what?
This isn't ms-DOS. Why would a user-land text editor need to do anything to the firmware?

[In the UK] Why are supermarket vendors printing "not in EU" labels on goods in EN? Surely it should be printed in FR or DE (etc).
Maybe an 'EU' in a slashed circle, and avoid the prose...
So the EU Burgers know they can buy or not (I have no umlaut).

I, ... am very curious to know the process by which VScode translates "Std" into "stupid".
Note lower case 'S'. This codebase only uses the token "stupid" in one comment, not related to current typing.
if [MSFT owned] VScode is reading my *chat* service logs, they are breaking a lot of expectations.
MSword has much better guess algorithms, and I think is owned by MSFT.

information space whine.
I just saw a video by an articulate, educated Doctorate who used processes used to make clear arguments inside education and academia. The speaker was talking in something at least /near/ their own subject, and had spent several months to organise the data.
Her output was video, so she needed to explain every smaller point or tangent inside "the main text".
Hyperlinks are *your* widely available and widely supported superpower, use them wisely.

Thought experiment. not #realistic.
In say 2015, various high-motivation low-tech skills people thought it wold be cool to own a Facebook (as it was then) or Linkedin clone.
They periodically asked on various platforms how to achieve this.
Those people now have a openAI account, but for an accurate clone, this still not achievable. Both FB and LI as artefacts are too large to fit in a LLM token count.
Even with a mystic design and functional spec (from..?) this is still too large.

dear Satan,
pls condemn the exec that issued the PDF viewer on Kindle Fire without page numbers or jump to page function to at least 10,000 years of scrolling to find the correct page .
Make that (assume) man need to confirm legal texts with many clause numbers and no mean to skip to the clause.

#TIL npm includes man page integration, ands packages can ship with real manpages (and I assume real TROFF/ GROFF).
This is a grown-ups feature/ planning (supporting existing systems, rather than making an extra specific app).
