No play, only buy! dog frisbee meme

I don’t think it’s most people. I (choose to) believe that’s a loud minority.

You’ve witnessed the US election recently, yes? I’m not exactly surprised.

Yes, that’s what I’m challenging. Who do people think they are to think their subjective opinion is objective truth?

It usually goes hand in hand with not justifying themselves because “everyone agrees it’s unacceptable”.

I guess. The way it’s formulated purposefully removes them from the statement, though.

It’s always baffling how people can define something as unacceptable. Says who? You? Who are you to just make that decision so unilaterally?

You can have your opinion, but it’s just that.

good on you for thinking ahead. what a shit show.

Been on unpaid leave for six weeks until next year, as a prerequisite to not quitting. I’ll start in a new department. The old department sucked.

Yesterday I got The Call. Tomorrow they have a big presentation, possibly with monetary consequences, and certain things don’t work. You know, 10y tech debt ‘suddenly’ being a problem. So I said fine, I’ll come in to talk about it.

I told them I can try to reimplement the whole module in Python and I might actually finish in time (36h notice or so). Ex boss wanted to stick with the thing that ‘works’, so I left. He didn’t think I could do it, so we’re not even trying.

Had a talk with the caller and told him what happened. He said fine, guess we’ll just fall on our faces, then. We’ve done our part.

Bit more than 72h. We were doing a practical project at uni and had a deadline on the following Tuesday. We got to work on Saturday. We made it on time, though, everything worked. 10am that day we had a presentation scheduled.

And then somebody short-circuited one of the motor control boards and it stopped working. That’s when I left to go sleep for a day.

That must have been terribly satisfying.

I’m sure the workbook still exists somewhere, though, ‘just in case’. And someone argued that the new way is much less accessible than the workbook.

He literally bought twitter and made it right wing extreme.

I’ve always interpreted it as someone who’s here only temporarily. They plan to go back eventually and as such stick to expat social groups with similar issues for e. g. temp permits as opposed to permanent permits for immigrants.

It’s king now, and most of the world is proudly independent.

Decades of speed increases in hardware, yet software is slower than ever because we’re wasting it on JavaScript.

But colored folders!

No, none of this is based on logic. It’s just words, like LLM words; it means nothing.

Have you seen Frieren? Demons only talk to confuse. They have no moral values. They appeal to ours only to not be killed, but it’s a ruse every time.

The same is true for fascists. None of this makes sense. It only serves to confuse, delay, obstruct, until they get what they want. They string together words so that our brains go brrr, but they’re infants babbling sounds. Stop talking to them as equals, they don’t see you as one. They see us as prey, as slaves, as livestock. And most don’t realize they’re livestock, too.

I get you were being sarcastic. I’m just mad.

Damn Hondurans! I don’t know what countries are or where I live, or what they have to do with this story, but those Hondurans sure do suck!

Also, Windows is catching up on the breaking of things, while Linux has improved dramatically. At least some distros are incredibly stable.

Fair enough. I didn’t consider not voting (or third party for that matter) as an option, but, as you say, that’s my subconscious bias.

I’d love that, too. Immich has more fine grained user control on their timeline, though.
