Unpopular opinion: I think #Slack is in trouble. Microsoft is putting enormous efforts into adding features and integrations and functions into Teams, and slack / #salesforce is doing... Nothing.
I don't like Microsoft. I don't like #microsofteams. I find the interface difficult to navigate and unintuitive, but it's clear that Microsoft is hell-bent on overtaking slack, and they are well on their way to succeeding.
Would you be interested in a cryptocurrency that doesn't involve complex wallets, is completely secure, and you literally can't lose? Say hello to thoughtcoin. You mine it by thinking up a number. That's how many thoughtcoin you have! It's so easy, you've already done it. Running low on thoughtcoin? Think up a bigger number! Forgot your balance? Think up a new one! It's time for thoughtcoin.
This is why #retrocomputing nerds socialize. Friend of mine sai "Hey, I have this Tungsten E2 still in it's original packaging, want it?"
Hell yeah I do. I try to avoid collecting Palm devices (cuz there's zillions), but this is just too cool. April, 2005 this was released. It's been in it's box for 17 years. #vintagecomputing
Ladles and gentlemints. That is a working playfield light on my Hyperball #pinball machine. Another fixed problem!!!
I just have to say, I have the best boss ever. I was out last week with COVID, and I'm still testing positive. We had a very quick meeting this morning, because I was like "I'm mostly okay, just tired. Is there stuff that needs to be done?"
His reply: "No, we're fine. Get better. Take the time you need. Go heal."
So, we reset the timer 2 days and we'll see then.
There are good managers in the world.
So talk about a weird indicator that I'm starting to feel better. One of my idle time things is to do very difficult Sudoku puzzles. Have a nice app for it on my phone, and for most of this week, I would simply unable to complete any puzzles.
Today I did three of them, without any hints errors.
I know Sudoku puzzles are considered a sort of "not very hard puzzle for people who think they're smarter than they are" but I find them relaxing and entertaining.
So, my sweetie is down with the 'rona. We've isolated out, and we're staying in separate parts of the house. I'm considering this like a camping trip adventure TO MY OFFICE. What a world we live in. #covid19

Sigh. There are times I wish #mastodon had a downvote mechanism. Like "I really disagree with what you just said, and think its wrong" other than replying with "You FOOL!" :(

Aha. Creality CR10 #3dprinting - I've been getting garbage prints - turns out the mount for the hot end had come loose. https://imgur.com/gallery/0qxZlYa
Sometime, not too long ago, someone at Microsoft had this conversation with Lennart Poettering ...
"you seem like someone that fits our 'fuck everyone we'll do what we want' culture. How'd you like a job with us?"
