Anyone or institution still on X is a joke. Except maybe a journalist. But even still.

When is the UK going to make their official reddit account?

The most boomer shit I ever seen.

Yeah… No

I didn’t mean RFC Base32.

I meant human-safe alphabets.

Base58 or Crockford Base32 that intentionally remove I, L, O, and 1 (which is distinct from “base 32”).

RFC Base32 still hits the exact problem I’m ranting about.

To be clear the (vanilla) base32 version of the aforementioned string:

“I dont fucking know lots of lllllIIIIIIlllIII etc”

Outputs:

“JEQGI33OOQQGM5LDNNUW4ZZANNXG65ZANRXXI4ZAN5TCA3DMNRWGYSKJJFEUSSLMNRWESSKJEBSXIYY=”

You can use cyberchef to check for yourself.

This does not solve the problem.

I meant what I’d said: base 58.

As a job title: sysadmin

Loathe.

Every now and then there crops up the situation where there is no copy/paste from host to host. And when that involves a fucking product key or some shit… Mother fuckers just base 58 that shit.

What would you rather read and type?

Product key: “I dont fucking know lots of lllllIIIIIIlllIII etc”

Or…

Product key: “CqiDNKttsj1NUubpbVJ2VJL9eMEpRvRFMV3hNPRxtUX7SMox5UQjeEZX3DqqHNAfkSE”

I rest my case.

Jfc you just do both at the same time.

“Hey, I’m reaching out with regard to ticket 27472. I’ll need to remote into your device. You’ll see a notification that it’s happening. I just wanted to give you a heads up that the notification is expected behavior. Let me know if you have any questions!”

One message.

Do work.

“Hey again, the .zip is benign. Thanks for reaching out! Feel free to open it.”

They respond “thanks sorry I was at lunch”

“👍”

Never speak again.

It was Simone.

The dog did it by mistake because he’s a doofus.

The cat did it on purpose because 6 weeks ago you stopped scratching his butt sooner than he would’ve liked.

Did you talk about this with your therapist? Bc you should.

My old therapist would refer to frustration as a resource we hoarde. We dump our frustration into a little water bottle, and when we’re not using adaptive coping mechanisms, we table it. But then later something frustrating happens (like your webcam experience), and though it is (truly) a minor setback, you’re stuck with this huge reaction. You got a stop hoarding your frustrations and learn to dump that water bottle out before it overflows.

This imagery is for me helpful because it helps me understand some disproportionate reactions I may have, and also quite clearly doesn’t shy away from negative emotion. Get angry, hell yeah. When it’s… Adaptive. This wasn’t adaptive.

You could take them to small claims court and you’d likely win. A headache, but a solution.

Some poor web developer was told to implement this against their will. Hopefully they raised the concern. Report the site as abusive until their registrar takes them down. Should make for a fun week for that POS project manager.

This is how you get uninvited to the sex party.

You did not need to respond for us to disagree. I did that already.

They do if their sex life is significantly kinkier and generally a part of their lives than those who fuck sometimes and masturbate usually… In this exact context.

Brother I was agreeing with you.

Weird defensiveness. My wife hates that.

Only if majority is not caffeinated (sorry).

As a 39 year old with a wife and a kinky and immensely fulfilling sex life, agreed.

I do hope these folks are actually old and not these new Republican kids that inevitably end up as incels. Otherwise they’re in for a lifetime…

Im 39 years old, an old millennial, and have the highest voted post calling this out as boomer bullshit.

The divide you refer to is not generational. If this humor is for you, you’re a misogynist, by definition. I’m sorry if this was your wakeup call.

This is just a lazy sexism boomer joke. This isn’t a meme.
