This is the divorce complaint of Richard Feynman's second wife. She literally hates calculus. 👀

I don't know why people aren't recommending networking to beginners in tech. Every modern tech runs on some kind of network. Once you understand networking deeply, everything falls into place.

[Brian Kepha @AngelofVerdant]

They better be replacing it with an updated Networking Specialty because Networking is a core cloud skill that should not be messed with, I still ask why they got rid of Database Specialty. Please don't replace it with some other new AI garbage

@USEUganda Can you please learn to communicate effectively? You can't ask me to sign up for a webinar in an email without specifying when the webinar will take place.

[Joseph @mjmawa]

@Comrade_Otoa @BikersUganda One day I will do this thing. For now, I can only afford a Bajaj.

@RugyendoQuotes @TimKalyegira "If we all abhored impunity, how would he thrive it"

So when a full grown adult physically abuses a defenceless toddler, you can somehow turn around to ask why the toddler is allowing himself to be abused?

@charlesgava_256 To any sensible person, he's actually making a fool of himself. Even if what he's saying is true, who says her visit should be beneficial to the country to be allowed to represent her client?

@UEDCLTD This issue relating to this ref 1713823H has been fixed. Thanks to the customer care fellow who took my followup call. I wish others would emulate HIM.

[Joseph @mjmawa]

@UEDCLTD According to the notification I got yesterday, today's power shutdown along Entebbe road(which is not even in your monthly maintenance schedule for June) is supposed to last from 10:00 am to 5:00pm. Why are we still off up to now?

[Joseph @mjmawa]

@UEDCLTD What is good about the morning when you can't do your jobs and somehow ghost customers.

I know you avoid customers but I won't back down. I got this message this morning. Our power has been off since midday. The outage should've lasted from 10a.m - 5.00pm. Why are we still off?

[Dr. Arthur Brooks @arthurbrooks]

I've noticed that one of the most common mistakes ambitious people make is believing that happiness is waiting on the other side of achievement.

In behavioral science, we call this the arrival fallacy. It's the idea that once you reach the next milestone, get the promotion, earn the recognition, or accomplish the goal, you'll finally feel fulfilled.

But satisfaction doesn't come from arriving. It almost always comes from making progress toward something meaningful. That's why goals are important, but they are not the reward. The pursuit is.

@0xAX It shoud have been called a merge request.

[John Collins @leadprompt_sh]

After decades in the industry, I remain disappointed at the amount of software engineers who have no idea how networking, DNS, or HTTP work.

[Joseph @mjmawa]

@leadprompt_sh The problem is people learn just enough to get the job done. People actually need to learn how stuff works. Not for the money but for the joy of discovering how the tech works at the lowest level.

[Joseph @mjmawa]

@nwscug Unfortunately, this lasted for a couple of hours on Wednesday. And the pressure wasn't enough to refill the tanks. It has been off since then. So it's correct to say we've been off since Sunday last week. I wonder why you make us beg for something we pay for. @NWSCMD

[Joseph @mjmawa]

@nwscug Thanks. Water has started flowing.

Imagine a guy in your neighborhood buys one internet bundle, puts up a router, and sells Wi-Fi to the whole street at 1,000 shillings a session. The regulator looks at it, sees something that actually works, and throws its weight behind it instead of shutting it down. And now the telcos are calling it unfair.

Unfair. After years of rationing data like it was uranium, after bundles that died before morning, the people quietly built their own internet economy on top of the same network, and that is the part that offends them.

Telcos still do not get that when you price people out of something they need, they do not suffer quietly. They build the workaround. The 1,000 shilling hotspot is exactly what a market does when it has been squeezed too long.

And do not let the Starlink noise fool you. It is coming in through Airtel, priced for people who were never the ones struggling. The disruption that actually reaches the street is a man with a router and a price the whole street can pay.

You do not get to gouge a country for a decade and then cry foul when it routes around you.

[Joseph @mjmawa]

@dvassallo LOL. What is more concerning is you asking ChatGPT about a medical condition.

[Joseph @mjmawa]

@nwscug No.
