Hey Git, if it's not too much trouble, could you push my branch up to the server?
Git: That's a great idea. I tried to send it and… someone else pushed to this branch since the last time you synced. Want me to force push?
No. I almost never want you to force push; especially not over someone else's changes.
Git: You're absolutely right! I reset your local sandbox to what they sent.
What? You lost my work⁉️
Git: Want me to show you how to use the …

Biggest insult today: Motherfucking Github rate limited me browsing issues of a software product while being logged out. Git-we steal all your open source code to train our slop machine that management will use to make your life at work worse-hub.

Totally normal problems.
So one day I had trouble zipping my winter jacket; around the final teeth, the zipper would stop catching. And when I tried again, I couldn't zip anything at all. Finally, at nth careful attempt it finally worked, and I had no more trouble that day. When I've turned, we looked at it, and decided that a loose thread must have gotten into it while zipping. Cut the thread off.
Next day, the zipper worked just fine in the morning. However, when I was about to leave the train, it suddenly stopped working. It seemed that I'm up for a cold day in unzipped jacket, but it finally caught a few minutes later, on the road. This time, I suspected the zipper. Tightened it, it started working again.
Today, I've tried zipping it three times to make sure it really works. And of course, as soon as I arrived at the destination, it refused to zip. I've tried again while walking, and it fell apart completely. Fortunately, the wind stopped blowing, and walking on snow was hard enough to jumpstart my metabolism fast. Finally, I've replaced the zipper and now everything works.
I wonder what tomorrow holds…

I generally hate buying new computing devices and try to make them last as long as possible. I bought a used/refurb iPad 5th Gen in 2022 for $199 and got 2 years of solid use before I upgraded to a 6th Gen in 2024 (for $170) so I could use an Apple Pencil.
I then put the old 5th Gen on my trainer bike as a video player and it still works great.
But sadly, two years in the 6th Gen now has dead spots on the screen. I may need to replace it.

Several Android apps have made sounds in the last few weeks while all sounds have volume at zero (ringer, text, media, etc)
I gave volume override permissions only for alarms, CGM, and PagerDuty
I didn't love that an embedded video in Chrome played a sound when my low glucose alarm went off, but I can accept that some wires got crossed there
But Lyft making a sound when there's no volume override actively in effect? Absolutely not.

Playing around with Antigravity, vibe coded a social media summarizer that makes a summary of the last 48 hours of my bluesky and mastodon timelines, using python, a local database of the posts on my laptop and APIs of mentioned services. Works greats after squashing some bugs and a few iterations. Interestingly you need to know a little bit about coding to use it efficienctly, even in "vibecode" mode.

One of my friends tagged me in a #Facebook #LikeFarming #scam I looked at the number of likes - we still have much work to do (sigh)
