Too late. He’s already shown his true colors.

Firefox to evolve into not existing.

If I was forced to use windows at any job I would find another job.

Mozilla’s new CEO is a dumbass.

The powers that be really don’t like the idea of unmonitored secure networks do they?

In IT for over 30 years… 💯 %

How does this compare to mymind? I really really wanna stop paying for something I can absolutely self host especially since I have all the hardware and setup mostly done already with other things I selfhost.

I’ve had issue with proxmox from Ventoy but other than that it’s great.

And now this will be in someone’s vibe coded project…

My kid has this sweater since he’s an old school metal head.

Edit: I had to find it.

I imagine most of these models have all kinds of nefarious things in them, sucking up all the info they could find indiscriminately.

This has got to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

I was programming in basic when I was like 10 years old and have been hooked ever since. I have been enthralled with these machines for over 40 years. I mean I come home from work (in IT obviously) and mess around with my home lab. The money isn’t bad obviously but this is and always has been what I was destined to do.

Yeah that’s about the only time I have to do reboots at work which are 99% linux. Well the production ones anyway.

Or the other reason is my lab having power issues due to malfunctioning UPSes, faulty NEMA L6-30 plugs, janky 240v circuit breakers or… I’m beginning to think my lab is electrically cursed.

My guess is if it’s open source it’s more easily cracked.

Very possibly. Oh well…

I had one of the first hdtvs. Well it was HDTV Ready I think it was marketed as. It was essentially just a 36in 800x600 crt monitor. Had to pair it with a special directv receiver. I think it was a RCA MM36110 and the damn thing weighed nearly 200 lbs. Needless to say I’m pretty sure I left in the house I sold because it was just too damn heavy. I have a 55inch TV that feels like a toy compared to it.

When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I was going to be that one in my list but I literally hate using the word …. 😉

ok here’s three examples of exactly what the meme is referring to:

• “Awful” originally meant “awe-inspiring” or “full of awe,” but frequent use to mean “very bad” eventually became the standard modern meaning.

• “Peruse” traditionally meant “to read carefully,” but common casual use to mean “to skim or browse” has become widespread enough that dictionaries now record both senses.

• “Nimrod” started as the name of a skilled biblical hunter, but repeated ironic use as an insult (for example, in cartoons… “Bugs Bunny”) led to its accepted modern sense of “fool” or “idiot.”

Language changes. Words mean what we say they mean since its all made up anyway.
