@cv Brilliant. If you put both the VSCode and Emacs stickers on your laptop, you can get _both_ kinds of neckbeards to explode 😈
@dalias @lothcat already got accidentally Wham'd by the kid yesterday 🙄
@annaleen you're missing Bavarian sweet mustard, which is the only appropriate condiment for Münchener Weißwurst (Munich white sausage). 😋
(You can perhaps guess I'm originally from Munich. 😉)
OK, what the hell? This sounds like the worst case of bullshit bingo I've ever heard, that's basically the last three hype cycles combined?! I doubt this sort of thing will get a lot of traction on the Fediverse. 🙄
Update: seems like the account has already vanished again, probably some sad attempt at SEO spamming?
@DonChacale @skykiss it's right there in the NPR article.
@sixtus @MontyZuma WER WAR DAS? 🤯
Wenn diese Security-Fortbildung aus mehr besteht als "wir installieren eine Antivirus-Software" fresse ich nen Besen. 🙄
After the battery in my work laptop started inflating, I had to fall back on using an 8-year-old Thinkpad X270 for a few days, and what can I say: it works just fine for 95% of work tasks, probably because it a) has 16 GB RAM and b) is running Ubuntu 24.04 instead of Microsoft Bloatware (TM). 🤷
@leyrer Ne sorry, Weltmeister im Umfallen ist schon immer noch unsere SPD. Was die schon alles "mit großen Bauchschmerzen" abgeknickt haben, weil sonst ja die schöne Groko mit den ganzen Kabinettsposten gefährdet wäre... 🙄
@UlrikNyman @randahl If that's the best clip that Fox News could find, then...
Applied electric engineering: route mains power through a hotdog and get just the right voltage divider for testing LEDs 👌😋

It's been a while since I posted my personal collection of weird #HCI papers: https://floe.butterbrot.org/matrix/rants/weird/
Any good stuff from the last 1-2 years I missed? Bring on the crazy 😁
If you're in the mood for some slightly morbid entertainment, this Wikipedia page is a goldmine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths_in_the_21st_century
An eclectic blend of some seriously unlucky people on the one hand (e.g. the guy who was peacefully sleeping in bed when a cow fell through the ceiling and killed him) and Olympic-grade Darwin Award candidates on the other (e.g. the guy who died of septic shock after injecting himself... with dead butterflies). 🤔
Oh damn, my laptop has started to inflate 😳
The lid doesn't quite close anymore because the battery is pushing the keyboard up. This is fine. 🫣
@azonenberg that sounds like the plot for some old school whodunit.
@libreleah There was a hilarious case recently where a little city needed to renew some regulations related to the fire department, and the local "conservatives" passed a motion in the city council to not use any inclusive/multi-gendered wording. The mayor then decided to just use female forms throughout the whole document, and now the conservatives are very pissed 😜
@andreasofthings There's no way the original post is for real. Nobody can be this delusional. Right? RIGHT??
@odr_k4tana @abulling @ElenLeFoll @flowdie @jbigham @harvardhci @cmuhcii @hcigroup @jovermeulen unfortunately, very true 😕 I'm trying to lead by example here (because, at some point, I turned into a "senior academic" 👴), but it doesn't feel like there's much impact yet - I feel like you need to have a lot of patience in this race, and that's a luxury most non-tenured folks cannot afford 😑
@abulling @ElenLeFoll @flowdie @jbigham @harvardhci @cmuhcii @hcigroup @jovermeulen 100% agreed - this is exactly why @jovi exists! (which is also diamond OA, and focuses on the HCI/VIS community)
Coincidentally, we're looking for additional ACs and steering committee members, so I sense an opportunity 😉
@kasdeya this is very accurate 👌
