me: sorry, since you didn't make me an offer right away, i'm now demanding at least €90,000

[interviewing for the position of UX Designer at Ryanair]
interviewer: tell me about your last role
me: I added 7 screens to the checkout flow and single-handedly reduced customer satisfaction by 63%
interviewer: [gasping excitedly] when can you start

Anyway if you think the "danger, Will Robinson" styling of CWs in the new Masto skin is as dismissive as it is infantilising - or it's just not for your site - drop the css in reply into your custom css and be

wuvoo, kiss kiss

@joepie91 Haha ik weet nog dat ik in de brugklas bij economie deze termen leerde en dat ik toen heel erg in de war was om deze reden. En de docent begreep mijn verwarring niet.

It's amusing how, after each Masto update, my feed turns into a chorus of "suck it, website boy!" as admins sort out how to override and undo this version's nasty UX surprises and questionable choices.

I've arrived back in London a bit earlier than intended

Kwam deze tegen in het Duits: https://todon.nl/@anarchiv/113271300327034109

Vertaling: "Ik ben van mening dat men in het Duits de term 'werkgever' zou moeten vermijden, omdat het een ideologisch gekleurde term is die de indruk wekt dat de 'werkgever' zo aardig is om de 'werknemer' (dat heet een arbeider, verdomme) een baan aan te bieden, en daarmee geheel voorbij gaat aan de uitbuiting en dwang die aan het kapitalisme ten grondslag liggen.

Tegenvoorstel: 'arbeidskoper', afkomstig uit het taalgebruik van de Zweedse arbeidersbeweging (Duits: 'Arbeitskäufer', Zweeds: 'arbedsköpare')."

I'm taking bets for the next 20 seconds as to whether this ~ 16 years old blank CD will burn without errors.

today's insignificant pet peeve: companies should quit marketing their organizer solutions as "stackable" when they're only stackable if they don't have stuff in them. that defeats the entire purpose. i want to use my fuckin vertical space

in romulan culture, it is customary for websites to include a false frontend that doesn’t actually work

Damn, so many links are going to break when .io is gone.

“Well, i never! What /are/ they teaching the youths in school these days?”
Um, the same things they've always taught in school—the only things they've /ever/ taught in school? Obedience, deference to authority, yielding to social hierarchy, and accepting overwork without complaint?

o, .io cTLD will go fuck itself

good
