That’s not realistic. They’d never use real names like “Bobby”.

My own pet peeve is UI components whose associated action is divorced from the components interaction feedback.

For example, a button that seems visibly pressed (even lights up! Maybe there’s even audio or haptic feedback!) but once you release, nothing actually happens because you were supposed to press it or hold it down for slightly longer.

This even happens with physical controls: in some elevators you can press a floor button such that it lights up momentarily, and even beeps, and yet the elevator doesn’t register the command and you have to press again, longer.

Would you believe them if they said they ruled it out?

Then you don’t know what Roku is either. Because it’s definitely a steaming service, too.

For example, they got the exclusive on Weird Al Yankovic’s “Weird”. I watched that on Roku. The first time. But I found the ads so grating that I pirated it so I could rewatch it without the annoyance.

Aux États-Unis, Trump était bien connu, bien avant d’être élu. Il était déjà une célébrité. Ça l’a d’ailleurs beaucoup aidé dans sa campagne.

Much of the province of Québec is already boycotting them since January, after they closed all their warehouses here to prevent them from unionizing.

Only if you bring your own house with you.

We barely talk about it here in Canada.

Now, King Trump, on the other hand…

Just rent a nice French bomb, and blow up Mar-a-Lago

I guess even they can’t run Crysis on full.

Outside of the White House and Capitol (and maybe adjoining buildings) I would not want to do too much damage to the rest of Washington DC, as I think we could find lots of allies there.

Florida, on the other hand…

Are One Direction even still together?

Than what?

It insists upon itself?

(I haven’t seen it)

Where do I put in my request for that bluesky money I’m owed, then?

What’s funny to me is, the agile approach seems like it’s a much better fit for open-source, non-commercial software development.

The corporate world and is management practices based around quarters and deadlines can’t seem to see how anything could get done without deadlines, but that’s usually less of a factor with open-source. People laugh at “scrum masters” because in a corporate environment, all the scrum stuff tends to be mostly performative. But it seems to me that open-source projects with multiple contributors already kind of work in an agile manner.

Sometimes, the developers also being the users helps, as in your example. Sometimes, it’s a hindrance, where the developer will just create UI that makes sense to them, but not to others.

Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.

I love Bakshi’s LotR and Wizards but I think his best movie is American Pop. Not as WTF as Wizards, but it’s so epic!

Missed opportunity: the body in the picture should have been for an arch-top guitar.
