I woke up thinking it was Monday and longing for another day off. I thought my phone was wrong when I opened my work calendar. Then, delight.

“Health? I have never heard of that app.” —iOS

I mostly use search to launch apps on my phone instead of hunting for the icon or scouring folders.

I swear 1 in 5 iOS searches do not include the exact match of the app name in the results.

“Get the vaccine available to you, not the one you want,” feels like the same sort of “fool the sheep to protect the flock” recommendation give at the start of the pandemic of “you don’t need masks” in order to protect the supply of masks to frontline workers. #COVID19

EU companies are in for a shock as the best software engineers leave to work for US-based companies offering much higher salaries and remote work.

Microsoft announced a new laptop in 2021 that still uses a proprietary port for charging, still does not have Thunderbolt port, and uses a CPU a generation behind.

Just tweeting in case you were wondering if the company was still disconnected from reality.

SolarWinds sponsored a post in my LinkedIn newsfeed about its rebranding as “N-able”.

I commented that I hope the were becoming less “hack-able”.

Their brand manager got defensive and really wishes everyone would forget how their ineptitude put US national security at risk.

I just learned “gay Siri” is close enough to trigger “hey Siri” effectively and will use it from now on.

In high school, my Español class watched an educational telenovela called “Destinos”. We never finished the series and I randomly thought about it today.

Thankfully, Wikipedia has a synopsis of the plot so I do not have to watch all 52 episodes.

I have not once wished I lived back in the US in the 4 years since leaving.

But seeing so many of my American friends my age now getting their first vaccine shots sure is making me jealous.

I am way too clumsy to have wood floors in my home.

And apparently every person who lived in my home before me was also clumsy.

Maybe it’s not me. Maybe wood is a shit material for flooring.

A Jehovah’s Witness put a lot of effort into writing my husband a full page letter about Easter. I almost feel bad for them. Time is such a precious gift to waste trying to convince someone of your personal delusion. Religious proselytizing is a mundane hobby.

The rise in anti-Asian hate crimes and discrimination is awful. I donated to anti-racist organizations. I have retweeted. Some of my Asian friends have posted they appreciate it, but have had enough of non-Asian people checking in on them. I don’t know how to help. #StopAsianHate

Just added 3 new EU alternatives to the US cloud infrastructure companies to https://www.eucloud.tech/

Many of these are OpenStack public cloud providers, which is great, but OpenStack still is not something I can recommend unconditionally.
