I don’t really understand the point?

Correct: you don’t. I’m basing this only off what you wrote, but I’m reasonably confident of my answer. Glad I could answer the question as asked.

Shaame!

Well, we get to slam it and heckle its users, because, well, we need SOME joy in The world…

To kids, anyone with 15 years in is “old”.

Guess what they called us when we pointed out the procedural failures in its design? Yep: old.

Meanwhile I’m just here booting my sysV box reliably and not cringing about HUPping dbus. I’ve never seen as frail a shit bag as a Systemd-afflicted install.

‘new standards’ vs ‘dunning-kruger-based decisions you are locked into’. Sure.

Systemd ‘haters’ are the people who know better and learned from best-practice.

Systemd ‘haters’ are no more haters than your parents who told you not to eat candy all day were candy haters.

Tell me you used Office Lens for a decade without sing those words.

No. Any frustration like this only serves to push all employees a bit.

And the Dead Sea Effect reminds us that the people who leave first will be those who get jobs elsewhere first. These are the most employable, and thus the most capable, and thus probably your best employees.

RTO and other stupid patterns won’t push out the most desperate; they’ll push out the most valuable. And then the most valuable of what’s left. And so on.

Managers who choose pride over effectiveness need to be unemployed.

Let me know how the class action goes.

Wow. I had to stop reading this one. Long on words, poor on writing and spelling and neither circling a theme so much as just edgelording on everything social, I’m not sure whether it was ever getting somewhere.

But life’s too short for 6000 words on The Things That Suck With Stuff I Don’t Use.

minimal acceptable set of politics.

I like how you said “minimal”, like it’s a floor and not a flavour.

No-no, it’s perfect like that. Don’t dare change it.

insurances

I think mass nouns do not work like that.

Those of us around for the days when off-shoring was some kind of magic pill will remember how it wasn’t. Outsourcing to some guy in Delhi, Ohio, doesn’t seem so different; apart from time zone, maybe.

Ai isn’t the cause for this but it certainly was the enabler.

Slopping.

What is the cause of the outrage? You’re being recorded from his glasses, yes, but you’re also being recorded from like 8 other camera angles with or without him

You seriously see no difference between store cameras recording for liability and some rando recording for lul$? The night-and-day difference between what a person agrees to with a store while shopping inside it and what is thrust on them by a rando with no regs on retention and security, is the absolute same to you? Really?

Really?

America: Thoughts and prayers; too soon to address the issue.

Canada: bulldoze the site in shame and sadness.

And they are missing Jaime Pressly

She’s breathtaking. I miss her too. I think I miss her when I glance away.

Nah. Having worked in the industry - we built (the) Unix and a Linux distro, and I helped secure it - I can absolutely confirm older OSes are being used for very crucial stuff in an ironic mix of risk and safety that is bizarre.

Hint: Big grey-blue boats with numbers and famous names on the side.

• zero-k
• wow, still

Supply chain attacks are what scare me.

As a former OS security pro, this is the right answer. Not because of the exploit itself, but because young (unmentored) coders readily trust some really bad patterns of pulling in random junk from the web and running it. THIS is how the LPE becomes essentially an RCE-level problem.
