Mstyslav Chernov, Michelle Mizner and Raney Aronson-Rath win the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film for "20 Days in Mariupol."

Mstyslav Chernov, director, said -
"I am honored but I will probably be the first director on this stage to say that I wish I had never made this film."

“I wish to be able to exchange this for Russia never attacking Ukraine, never invading our cities. I wish to be able to exchange this for Russian not killing 10,000 of my fellow Ukrainians.”

@Anarcat That's only for people who write "OCD" as "CDO" (because that way the letters are in alphabetical order).

@labbott well, no, I don't actually write that (I don't intentionally try to be a jerk to people :)). I just quietly suffer.

@Yuki I just use "Eastern" or "Pacific" or whatnot. "Let's meet around 1PM Pacific" -- is unambiguous and not that much longer to type. :)

Like this post if you start your message back with "assuming you mean EDT..."

Welcome back to the time of year when my OCD is triggered every time someone tries to schedule a meeting with me in "EST."

Happy Women's day to all. Women's rights are human rights. May you never feel like a prop, trope or property.

I propose referring to "open-core" software as "open-sore" -- it will intentionally bleed you unless you pay for the enterprise version.

@ada I think at this point everyone on Fedi mostly understands that following someone gives you a whole-human experience. :)

@lkundrak @b0rk it's one of those rules like with Spanish where you can start your sentence with "yo" or skip it, doesn't matter -- it's just something you do or don't. :) I like to be explicit, plus it's not like HEAD takes that long to type.

@b0rk also 'git verify-commit HEAD' to make sure the sources are trusted (only if you use git commit signing).

@b0rk 'git show HEAD' to see what was the last thing you worked on.

Engineering,

My calisthenics program has a problem. Instead of proper opponents the holodeck is only creating cartoon ponies.

@oathboundFamiliar It's also a stupid recommendation. I've hired a lot of people through my career and whenever someone followed up with a thank-you note, I always had the impression that they were trying to game the process or following some "best practices" doc they found online. A simple "Thank you very much for this interview" at the end of the call will go dramatically further (and make sure the other side says the same thing, or it's a warning flag).

@Ten there is a Spanish version of this joke:

- ¿Conoces-tu el símbolo químico del silicio?
- Si.
- Puedes dime-lo?
- Si, Si!

China: “Remove all VPNs”
Apple: “Sure thing”

China: “…and podcast apps”
Apple: “Can do boss!”

China: “…and also hand over all iCloud data for our citizens”
Apple: “I mean why wouldn’t we? Here you go!”

EU: “Allow alternate app stores, and do it fairly”
Apple: “Ahhh hell no! This is so unfair you guys are bullies! Malware! Privacy! We have standards! Unlike you we care about our users!”

It's the same with Girl Guides (female only) vs. Scouts (mixed) in Canada. On the one hand, I fully understand and support that sometimes girls just want to have a safe space where they can be themselves. On the other hand, this skews our numbers in Scouts towards heavily predominantly boys, perpetuating the same "boy scouts vs. girl guides" dichotomy from mid-last-century that just won't die.

And I'm not sure if we should be enforcing any kind of 50/50 ratio for our enrolment, because this means we have to turn away boys just for being boys. :/

During the day I'm all "gender is a social construct, you can be whoever you like, your anatomy does not define you!"

But then I put on my other hat to help my local baseball association with registrar duties and go full sadpanda as I sift through questionnaires with questions like "would your daughter like to join the all-girls team?"

Sigh. And this is especially stupid for baseball, because such gender modalities like muscles and aggressiveness have almost zero impact on how good a player is, especially for younger kids.

@fribbledom You haven't lived if you've never had to take off your gloves to switch the radio station.
