That is AS400 from IBM. Although discounted by IBM, it is still in production in many places running mission-critical apps. It's far better than the stuff people write today. This is how reliability looks. Why break it when it works?

Today in 1595, 429 years ago: the tragedy Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is premiered in London.

Sometimes I will put my blanket over my head because my dog cannot deal with it all. He will bark at me then jump on the couch and pull the blanket off.

@why@shitposter.club @LunaDragofelis@fedi.criminallycute.fi @Moon A lot of little things add up to a lot. The total Google ecosystem is no worse than Samsung, lacks their UI 'improvements' and their weird thing about duplicating every app

@why@shitposter.club @LunaDragofelis@fedi.criminallycute.fi @Moon I think the pixel is a vastly superior user experience, tbh

@Gelatinousrube 2pm is my circadian low. Danger Zone for naps if I am at home....

@Gelatinousrube Supposedly heading back to normal (high 30s) next week. We will see. The change in the weather is definitely strange. The wildlife is so confused.

62F this morning. That is a 50 degree shift in a week. They are out cold patching roads already.

@tewha I personally would not use 'nearly' here, but I'm sure plenty would.

The worst thing to come out of the pandemic were the always-on remote working toolchains, and the expectation that you never stop working.

@gnemmi @stefano 9pm tonight, on Slack AND email "Sorry to bother you but we can't contact our GPU server". They ran it out of memory, and it came back on its own. I am not on call, but this is exactly what we're talking about.

@Magooish@mas.to @seachanger I'm very sorry to hear about your husband. It's a miserable disease. I got very luck with imaging as I was on on a trial and the scans were part of the methodology, so I got very good surveillance without too much stress. The whole thing soured me so much, but I also realize I am very lucky.

@seachanger Do you mind me asking - Are you in remission? I do hope so.

@SeventhMagpie Nothing would surprise me. Single digits for 9 days which for this part of the US is unusually cold, now a week of April temperatures. So strange.
