@thecanine@twtxt.net I love these. Pixel art is amazing. It looks so simple, but it’s really, really hard. 😳

@bender@twtxt.net Oh, no. That’s my baby. 😅 It was built in 1989 and I probably had it since the early 1990ies (it came with an IBM PS/2 Model 30 that they handed out to employees, IIRC).

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know how to phrase the answer without sounding too bitter. 🤣 Let’s just say, nope, it won’t work.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, I’ve heard of that option (“Aufhebungsvertrag”). I guess the real challenge will be finding something else that isn’t just as silly.

And on the bright side, you don’t even have to hand over anything.

They actually say that with a straight face. (Did I mention that already?) “The age of maintainership is over. Anyone can now contribute to any project at any time.”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, please post that list.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Couldn’t agree more. I’ll check my list tomorrow that I started a few weeks ago.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If you really like to, you can try to negotiate with your employer that you can leave earlier. At least some mates were successful in that. I mean, it’s also in the company’s interest to not have to pay someone who has already mentally resigned long ago.

And on the bright side, you don’t even have to hand over anything. Your boss doesn’t have to look for a successor, so they can just let you go even sooner. This AI shit will simply continue whatever you did, no problem!!

It’s so crazy. I should probably also look for something else. :-(

@Little-Eric-{{first_name}}@itsericwoodward.com Hahaha, will do! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, very nice! :-D

@thecanine@twtxt.net such handsome doggo! Much wow! ❤️

@prologic@twtxt.net oh, I see, convoluted pleasures have taken over your time, eh? One day I will grow up to be like you. I hope. Maybe. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net I have no time for simple pleasures anymore 😳

@prologic@twtxt.net good day, mate! Your “hyperparticipation” is sorely missed! :-P

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahahahaha!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ooooh, yes! I am going to subscribe to that. Well done.

Second attempt, at mixing a couple of previous designs together and I think this one came out pretty cute looking.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Are you able to set a level of standards and expectations in the repo you are the maintainer of? 🤔

By the way, did you know that I have a five month notice period? Starting next year, it’ll be six months. Germany is the opposite of “hire and fire”, but it applies to both parties.

I’ve started collecting reasons against AI usage here, so I don’t have to repeat myself all the time:

https://movq.de/noai.html

@prologic@twtxt.net There is nothing I can do – except quit. The company explicitly wants it that way.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What are you going to do about this? 🧐

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Found him: https://movq.de/v/66f49383d8/vid-1779857134.mp4

I’m thrilled to be the 10,082nd 👻 on BackerKit for “First in Fright: The FANGORIA Compendium”!

It’s official now: People are vomiting AI code into a repo that I’m supposed to maintain. At the same time, I don’t have the authority to decline those PRs.

RIP.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Just call me Little Eric {first_name}}. 😁

Good Morning 👋
