Just spent over an hour on a customer support line talking to half a dozen different people across five separate transfers, and the final resolution was that they were unable to help me because at some point in that process I'd somehow been transferred to their Australian branch. I didn't even know they had an Australian branch.

Thoughts on Malleus’s birthday card reveal? 🎤

Twst knows exactly what I want, and that's Malleus Draconia, in his little fancy bed jacket and head wrap, kicking his legs on the couch as he giddily tries on different lipsticks so he can look super duper extra pretty for his big special birthday party. :)

After getting his pocket rocket throughly mangled by Logan's shitty back ally blowjob:

Wade *zipping up and wincing*: I'm sorry but are you like in need of money or...can't imagine you'd get a lot of repeat customers.

Logan "lights up cigarette*: No I just like chewing on dick.

Wade: Cool cool cool. Not exactly the sequence of words I'd put next to "dick" but you do you, girlfriend.

Logan: Same time next week?

Wade: Same time next week ❤️

Hey everybody, I've decided to open up a Kofi! I've currently got 2 options available for commissions - Pay What You Want and Customs! I'm really trying to turn my art into a career, and I thought opening a Kofi would help in that. So, if you've got the time, checking out my Kofi would be amazing! Thank you all for the support, and hopefully, I'll be posting more soon. (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)

Attention: Theme developers and blog customizers on web

We’ve made some big updates to our Custom Theme documentation to help you create themes that support our Neue Post Format (NPF) and un-nested reblog UI.

What’s New:

Example theme markup – which includes our un-nested reblog UI.

Updated “Reblogs” section with explanations and examples of how to use the un-nested reblog UI in your themes in favor of the old blockquote representation.

Clarification on how to support NPF with existing theme variables.

In case you missed it, we’ve updated the Theme Garden to feature a collection of NPF-compatible themes (marked with a red star).

Want to learn more about how to customize your blog theme on web? Have a look at our Help Center article.

Learn more about how to submit your own themes to the Theme Garden for other people to use or purchase. Be sure to review our Theme Submission Guidelines beforehand! We’re looking forward to seeing your creations.

For bug reports and feature requests, please submit a ticket using our Support Form.

one thing I think a lot of people don’t understand about the crowdstrike outage is that this wasn’t a freak accident. the only thing notable about it was a scale, and this is just the beginning

like sure, many businesses do things to mitigate the risk of this type of thing like production controls, release schedules, QA, staggered rollouts, etc. but these mitigations just lessen the impact of these thing when they happen. and they do happen. constantly.

CEOs and the board members behind them demand new, complex, revenue generating, features from overworked and underpaid developers (often in exploited nations) who build whatever they can by the deadline and push it to QA.

QA has been cut and what hasn’t been cut has also been outsourced and when testing code that is rushed, there are bound to be a lot of issues. when you don’t have the manpower to test each change exhaustively or the man power to fix seemingly ‘non-impactful’ bugs identified by the QA engineers before pushing to prod, they pile up over time. everything seems to work fine on the surface, but the issues are still happening.

following the trend of lean staffing, production support is absolutely bare bones. the $1M salary tech bros are not developers anymore— they’re security specialists or product managers. the people who actually identify and fix problems make a fraction of the salary and do the work of 6 people and are highly discouraged from fixing or improving anything that doesn’t have an immediate impact on the user base or that doesn’t lead to increased revenue generation.

and not enough people to develop, not enough people to test, not enough people to fix, leads to a janky code base that only survives on luck and goodwill. as the tech bubble continues to burst— with venture capital drying up for tech companies who were never going to be profitable— the people doing this work are only going to get more overburdened.

the small things add up and you never know when an update is going to cause the whole thing to come crumbling down because 6 bugs that were identified and backlogged as ‘low impact’ happened to work together to take your server offline when an update to patch a security vulnerability gets pushed out.

anyone who’s working in tech is familiar with the way these companies are managed. not to position myself as an industry expert, but after working at tech startups in the SaaS space for the last 7 years, I’ve watched this happen (and personally cleaned up) at least 4 times.

I expect that we will continue to see different outages with widespread social and economic impact that will eventually lead the tech bubble to collapse entirely as investors flee en masse to escape the “increased risk of tech industry start ups”.
