Some of my colleagues have taken to copy/pasting from ChatGPT instead of writing documentation, and it's infuriating. At least they leave a disclaimer. Well, I hope they always do
It usually leads to clear prose, but half the time it's just plain wrong. Sometimes it's even internally inconsistent 😑

I won't be posting any updates here since it's not something I want to be public, but I'll make sure to at least post a few signs of life occssionally

I do wish custom labellers were more useful though. Each time I've tried to use one so far, it's seemed like it would only be able to work effectively if *everyone* used it

This post took just two minutes to escape my network, which is kind of why I'm not being more specific on a fully public platform like Bluesky. God this app needs better privacy controls. *Any* privacy controls

And syndicated across multiple news sites, even

So often when a trans person dies, our voice dies with us. One reason our pre-transition names are called "deadnames" are because they're the names the media use when we turn up dead, just like RNZ (and later Stuff) have done here
Thank you @davidfarrier.bsky.social for following this through ❤️

Yeah, I deleted my Facebook account years ago and haven't regretted it for a moment
Discord is my favourite online place lately. Less political firehose, more personal interactions. But this place has some stuff the structure of Discord doesn't support so well with its server+channel structure

Also I feel like I must have blocked a thousand accounts with too many followers to be normal in the past week or so. How are there still so many more that dozens appear on my feed every day??
Please I just want to talk to people who can talk like people

Bluesky isn't a useful organising platform. Sure, stuff happening in America, Israel's war crimes, and the other stuff you're posting about is Important. But I don't want to use this app for Important things
I have no need for an app that just makes me anxious and depressed

Oh, also I've been slowly watching Andor. It's all the more important because I'm watching with my brother, who lives in another city so this means we get to have a video call about once a week
The two of us have watched Star Wars together since we were kids

I've had a similar reaction from a similar communication - trying to help with a correction but it was treated as a complaint and handled awfully
From what I've been told, RNZ has had the same shitty guy in charge or all their complaints for a very long time

My flatmate and I have been watching Criminal Minds with dinner, and while it definitely has its missteps it's become part of a lovely routine where Milo lies on his lap and Cass lies on mine and we watch a second episode because no one wants to move

You mean kind of like a DVD rack? Not that DVDs are really a thing anymore... I think I've seen towers of like, laundry cubbies too. Maybe you can find something sold for another storage purpose?

You'll have to give time for things to work through the Media Council and force them to. RNZ has never been good at handling complaints

Something I kind of need before Tuesday too, so I love finding out on a Friday afternoon

So fucking inconvenient. They didn't even notify me, I only found out today when I went hunting for the tracking link since I wondered what was taking so long
They had a photo of a card on my front door with details on how to organise getting the package. Neither of us living here ever saw the card

Obviously the context is *very* different, but this is all reminding me quite a bit of the Peter Ellis tikanga case about upholding the mana of the deceased

Thanks for doing that, I've seen some others talking about Media Council complainst too. Hope it makes a difference ❤️

You don't even need that strong a reason imo, most of my recent blocks have been "that reposted person has too many followers not to have brain worms"

I'm so chuffed that I have no idea what their latest shit is, please don't tell me
