A friend of mine wrote that song
Rock n Roll Suicide

Another nail in the coffin of all reality shows. God, they are getting so stupid. Or maybe I'm just realizing their stupidity more deeply. Ungh.

I've always thought that was an oxymoron. Emphasis on the moron.
One of the benefits of dropping our cable TV and just keeping broadband Internet (other than reducing our bill from US $220 to $50 per month) is I no longer have to spend the effort to ignore the crap.

Wow... I dunno if it's the inflation of me getting old or the Australian market...
I thought I nailed an outrageously good salary this last 3~4 years with previous and current job...
But since I keep having recruiter sending me emails... it seems those outrageous salary are pretty normal... 
(good for me I guess  )
I feel sad though... playing D&D and other RPGs (in fact I avoid D&D to be precise, but it's another story) with mates working at local supermarket and local concrete store and both struggle with little pay and little prospect for better one...
In other news... my productivity was pretty low today and yesterday!

What are d&d (drinking and driving) and RPG (rocket propelled grenade) ?

I think D & D is Dungeons and Dragons, and RPG stands for Role Playing Game.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

The salaries which are out of touch with reality are a temporary thing.
Play the blip for what it's worth, but do remember, it's a blip; A bubble; and it will burst.

I don't think it's a bubble. Competent developers are in short supply. High salaries will attract more people to the industry, but it will take time for it to have an effect.

Given the inflation that most places are experiencing, the salary at which you were hired might now be more common. Because of that, and because you've survived your trial period, a nice salary increase after your annual review should not come as a surprise.

As I dive into IoT arcana I'm still coming up with plenty of material which you'd think would be excellent fodder for articles, but it seems like these days all I'm digging up is so very specific to what I'm performing that it's hard to create a general article around. Like, the subject is good, but hard to generalize because it may only cover it from a very specific scenario. To make something that's general would be writing War and Peace here at CP and nobody has time for that.
I'd really like to write an article right now about using I2S to stream audio to an internal or external DAC on an ESP32. You'd think "hey, that would be great, right?"
The trouble is, my code is written for the M5 Stack Core2 and the Fire products and somewhat difficult to generalize (so far).
By the time I do generalize it, it will become part of a much more complicated library (SFX) and it will be hard to write articles for without losing the reader in a labyrinth of code. Instead I'll be forced to write articles on *using* SFX rather than how I coded it, which is a different topic.
There's not really an in-between due to the nature of real time audio requiring a somewhat involved bit of infrastructure to support things like DMA transfers. I can code a pretty simple specific case, but generalizing it makes the complexity explode.
I'm not really sure how to approach this, and feeling kind of frustrated right now.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

I updated to Windows 11 ASAP and I recently discovered a missing feature which I think, if my memory serves me right, please confirm or deny, that the sounds setting / icon on the taskbar let you set the sound output level individually on an app basis, isn't that right?
I tried to multitask / listen to youtube during group zoom meeting, but without that it's difficult!😯😕
I am sure it was there at some stage in the past...

I can choose between Realtek Audio and my Dell monitor for output (notebook with an external Dell monitor).
There is also a "Waves" mixer app that came with the Dell installed software.
