I like to go bottom up. If chocolate and coffee are off the menu, I’m not sure this life is worth continuing.

I suppose it has more to do with the opportunity for a significant breach. The healthcare provider’s email system is a big target full of exploits. Fax is also HIPPAHIPAA compliant, email is not.

Need a simple end to end encrypted email solution, and for regular users to understand that solution isn’t Gmail for fax to die. The health and financial sectors are keeping fax alive, and it isn’t completely their fault.

Reminds me of Matt Berry as Lazlo in What we do in the Shadows.

The last time I went to an oil change place, I wanted it done because I was leaving town the next day. I usually have my regular mechanic (who is excellent and honest; a rare breed) do it, or I do it myself.

The ten minute oil change took an hour and change. They tried to upsell me on a bunch of bullshit and gave me stink eye when I politely told them I just need a conventional oil change, thanks.

They overfilled it by about .75 of a quart. I had to take care of that myself before the aforementioned road trip. The car only holds about four quarts in total.

They charged twice as much as my mechanic who knows what he’s doing and gives a shit. Never again.

Do they ever test anything that’s not on a huge screen before rolling to prod?

I feel this way all the time. I used to have to tell my (often less experienced) coworkers “that’s unusable on a device, which is how 75% of our traffic will consume it.”

It was usually because it looked nice on a huge monitor, and in an emulator.

Fuji makes some really nice SLRs, and their glass is exceptional. Also, you don’t need to install software if you don’t want to.

Found the dev.

For many, a mobile device is their sole computer, and things of importance to them are stored on it.

LibreOffice too for that matter. Kick 'em a few bucks if you can spare it.

Absolutely, and thanks for asking. Also, congrats! I’d recommend looking at credit unions (US/Canada) and higher ed. Both are non-profits and good stepping stones. Either can be a career if you don’t want a ‘stepping stone.’ Depending on how altruistic you want to be, you can find either that serve underserved communities. CUs pay better, but are more corporate and demanding. Higher ed doesn’t pay as well, but is more laid back if you can ignore politics, which there is a ridiculous amount of. I worked at a HBCU (US) for a long time, and it was pretty great. Depending on where you are, it’s usually pretty easy to find an open spot at either.

Mom took him to a big office building parking lot on a Sunday when it was quiet. At least that’s how this classically trained driver learned.

Me too, 2010ish though. I wish I could figure out how to boycott AWS. As an aged developer with a little bit of influence, I’ve steered plenty of clients, employers, and peers away, but I still use the internet. There’s no detaching from that.

Sadly, many can’t be trusted or bothered to use a secure means of communication. A lot of people think whatever they use for email or sms is ‘secure.’ Often healthcare, finance, and higher ed try to sidestep the liability as a result.

Classic Press is a fork of WordPress that leaves out Gutenberg and has all the legacy PHP < 7.4 stuff stripped out. It’s nice.

Pretty good example for why RTFM.
