Resident PHP & Jacascript iconoclast. I still think PSR is the worst, even now that I'm on Mastodon. You might remember me from Dallas PHP and Lone Star PHP. Proud to be final-free.

@ramsey depending on accents i guess... what part of it do you think does not sound how it looks? legit curious, repeating it to myself feels like i can account for every bit of it.

[but im not a dirty t->d roller 🤣]

fun watching every single subdomain i ever used for the past 27 years show up in the traffic log on this site still after all this time, and despite the domain having been void of all dns for at least 8 years now.

there is comfort in knowing after i die, my traffic will be plaguing the next owners of my domains for literal decades.

@Crell whats funny is if they just didn't announce it nobody would care and they could have done what they want. blowback caused by their hubris.

@ee @lea most of the pain i feel while reading this is just watching them try to interact with it instead of immediately closing the ticket.

personally i think we should be nice and humane to real ai robot people.

these are not real ai robot people.

im also dubious a human isnt reaching over and messing with the steering wheel. the entire thing feels like a skit.

few times over the years i've shown people this ssl expiration tracking system i built at work to send me daily emails. they looked like this. good number of people were like wow i'd use that if it was a thing.

last weekend it was soft launched it as an independent developer 😅

opsat.net/

@wisze @ramsey my shock would be zero if it turned out they were not even real people, just fake things to drive people to feel like they are falling behind and open that app again. maybe even backfilled because you don't have enough irl friends on your list or something. fake giving a loner the same experience.

@stevegrunwell macro's quote is right, though i take it a step farther - honestly i think they are doing it on purpose to lower the bar, to soak in the praise next major update when it can be "more good" again they ran out of things to innovate so they just made everything suck to make fixing it seem innovative later.
