See also: accessible health care. When the gov is the only consumer - ie no private monopoly and no dual-market slippery-slope - then healthcare becomes accessible and supported by regular income tax.

So the real point here is “inflation makes numbers go up”.

Where did the drama end with code ownership and participation? It seemed for a while there was some “thanks for holding the fort; now get out” issue.

This website is a blank page.

FLCL? It’s fun to dereference initialisms the first time you mention them.

Ha ha ha.

I love how lennart’s cancer tries to replicate fucking syslog and it’s this bad. What a mess the kids worship.

Every part of what you just said can be encapsulated in proper packaging so you don’t even need to care – about pre/post upgrades, or even dependencies and checks before it starts.

The lack of a proper release is the absolute only thing keeping me from using it.

Bill Gates spent a lot of his pro years running a bad company quite well, and exploiting a dominant position in the market that any soulless biz guy would love to have.

He seemed to get a conscience around the time he stopped running the show, and seems to be different while not regretting his behavior in that phase.

I think we can decide he was a bit of a cock back then, while still noting he’s done some good work since. We are nuanced enough, right?

avoid games/etc over AI content, and the actual AI content is really minor

There’s no gradient for how much Ai goes into a game, so a little taint qualifies as diseased.

The installation workflow begs for supply-chain exploits. Given this and its oob install, it probably breaks iso27002 as well.

I’ll wait. NextCloud and OwnCloud both have 27002-compliant installs (the latter needs some review), so I need to stick with those.

The same can happen for maven, crates, gomods, and other.

Yes.

The problem is [intricate dependencies]

Nah. Dependencies are fine. The method of bringing those in and validating them is where the supply-chain risk accumulates. We knew better when we still had mentors.

Only a risk to those using npm; doesn’t matter where they exercise those bad dev procedures. Don’t quit using GitHub if you’re already okay with all the other issues it has.

strongsuit

Not a word, my dude.

deduce private jet expenses

I can deduce it right from a receipt, if they give you one.

Still container-dependent?

That’s a weird way to spell CALGARY.

Sometimes, an app can be an app and not some hosted web service mess.

1. Call the French Canadian service line.
2. Speak English

The call center places in Canada are usually maritime and are fluent in both (or none if their timezone is 30 min ahead ;-) ).

The onions are pretty strong here. AND the dust.

If the anti-cheat is client-side, that’s a solved problem, thanks to avoidance.
