Heckling your friends after they dropped $3k on some sloppy fridge is kinda cruel. Advise them hard when they ask for advice - here’s where you say “everyone will laugh” and “stupidest idea” - but commiserate when they realize what they’ve got.

You want to be in a position to offer advice for the next sloppy purchase.

probably shut down the AI servers in a few years for cost reduction making the whole thing a huge waste of money.

It’s like you’ve seen the Portal video chat units. (What a beautiful piece of hardware)

If it really was so bad then all major distros and DEs wouldn’t be actively working to switch.

I’m laughing in Systemd.

3 years ago in r/pics I left a comment to a pic. I know that it was a “piling-on” situation, as my entire comment was

And my axe!

Banned. The entire thread was killed and I could only see my comment: no clue as to context.

I asked a mod and got some ‘f-u’ response. I asked for clarification on that (politely, I promise) and got perma-banned.

Corrective action needs context. That was just fronting. As an ass, I can confirm: that mod also was an ass.

I may play it one day. It’s it a controller game, or can I kick it with a mouse and keyboard?

That’s something the EU would do, but never America.

A cyclist brake-checked the bus I was riding in.

I still think of that man. And I hope when he got his wish that his organs helped others.

“configuring DHCP in networkd/NetworkManager systems is almost impossible, here’s how I did it”

six lines.

Outside of Systemd and all its other neu-code shyte, it’s a one-line change to either your network config or your dhclient.conf. It’s been around 35 years and well-tested, and didn’t need St Lennart’s cancer to somehow fix.

When it ain’t broke …

“Radar confirms. It’s a Diddler-class Carrier, sir”

just to make money and hang out with his friends.

Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life.

I wasn’t a fan. But the older handset RIGHT after they traded the clitwheel for a micro touchpad (for scrolling and clicking) and before the keyboards started collapsing; that was the sweet spot for me.

I’d switch from this to that again in an instant (with a headphone jack and Qi and reverse-qi, that is, as I have those now and they’re life-changing).

it didn’t feel like it ever dominated the market before streaming took over

HD-DVD was better error-correction (thus longevity) but Blu-ray (ugh. The name) had payola. Payola makes leaders.

I suspect the switching of horses from what’s better to what’s more popular derailed the adoption back then when we resisted shallow popularity better.

I thought the fediverse doesn’t have ads?

If you’re asking whether you thought that, we can’t answer for sure.

I’ve found killing them with fire is both effective and retributionally entertaining.

But that was the '80s, when kids running around with the spray varathane and a zippo was kinda okay.

I kinda hate stinkbugs.

Container crutches. Ew. And if a dev can’t spell self-hosted, then I don’t trust them to do it properly.

Canada would be happy to receive many of these skilled refugees. There are programmes now for medical workers, and if global companies prefer American timezones for worker surveillance, then have I got news for them !

will offer support

Yay!

So… No, then? I’ll be over here crying in iso27002.

Hmm. I could adopt an American for their safety?
