Grumpy British middle-aged nerd living in France with an equally grumpy cat. My profile picture is the cat that owns this human. She's way better looking than I am. She is called Anna.

53 Things We Slowly Stopped Doing To Our Own Detriment Despite Seeing Them Work For Older Generations

Good luck finding a non biased news source that isn't skewing their reporting to promote their own agenda. In the UK one can often tell your political leaning by which newspaper you read.

IT Worker Takes Down Buffoon Accountant With Clever Plan, Says "Network's Down" Right Back At Her
IT Worker Takes Down Buffoon Accountant With Clever Plan, Says "Network's Down" Right Back At Her

It’s way fewer syllables to diagnose “user head gap.” The former chairman of Pepsi who was running Apple when I was there is the source of my funniest IT stories. My favorite was when I’d written some software and was encouraged to show it to him. I put it on a floppy and went to his office where I handed it to him. He inserted the floppy … and I heard it clatter onto the motherboard. There was no floppy drive where he inserted it. He’s smiling, waiting for the software to load, and I was speechless. Didn’t know whether to say something or what. Panicking, I eventually said, “Excuse me,” and bolted. I can laugh about it now, but at the time I nearly soiled myself. What makes it even weirder is that he often sat with me at lunch because we both like to read and not be bothered while eating, so he’d sit next to me. We never had a conversation in all that time!

It gets you a significantly higher resolution version — 2048x1864 vs. 700x637 — and enough to clearly see that this picture is AI generated. That doesn't mean the shirt doesn't exist.

Changes in work performance... Dude, this fifty year old body doesn't feel like it did when I was thirty. Work or not. It's a natural aspect of getting older.

Open image in new tab. Go up to the link address and remove the "__700" from the end, to get a full size image. Now tell me that looks like actual words... Edit: notice also the faces of the people behind her. This is AI slop.
