The black cruiser from before the fall of the Hegemony in the Hyperion Cantos tends to be the one that appears in my dreams the most, even 30 years later. Also the fucking tree ships.
I’m saddened by the amount of taxpayer money that was spent searching for 5 millionaires who went missing while on a joyride in a test vehicle.
Or when CallerID was an additional $8/month. It’s fucking DNS for telephone numbers. Can you imagine if ISP’s had charged extra for DNS and everyone decided to just memorize IP addresses instead?
I tried Win11 for a month before switching back. The completely unnecessary changes to the Start and right click menus killed it for me.
It felt like I’d taken my car into the shop for an engine tune-up and it came out with a square steering wheel and the gas/brake pedals were reversed.
I left Reddit and deleted my accounts a few hours after the subs went dark and my feed dried up. I don’t use mobile apps, I have no horse in that race at all.
It just wasn’t an enjoyable place to be anymore, and that’s all because of spez.
Is it though? It kind of feels like you broke up with someone but are still getting constant updates about who they’re currently fucking the minute you left.
I guess that’s some people’s kink.
This will be one of the movies of all time.
You can try RealBasic or TCL/TK, though I haven’t used either of them in over a decade.
The biggest problem with that approach is your team loses their roadmap, funding for new initiatives, and ambition while that’s happening. Your sprint backlog has nothing but minor tech deficit tickets in it, and overall it becomes a chore to get anything done.

Also, S1E1 of Futurama!
It’s pretty funny to see someone in the wild who actually thinks because those were Communist countries, the persons in charge must have been ‘Leftists’.
And damn those Leftists down in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee for growing all that tobacco using slave labor and then lobbying the government for the right to sell their product even though they knew it killed people!
115 comments and -320 karma. Stay woke guy, you’ll get em next time for sure.
If I stayed awake at night thinking of the habits of stupid people, I’d never get any sleep.
Every time it’s mentioned it’s only about sending e-mail to different providers, but the analogy doesn’t cover for example browsing your e-mail inbox and seeing communication from multiple sources. Just covering how one individual can send messages to multiple individuals via a common protocol is only half the picture.
Honestly it’s more like the old mailing lists (Majordomo days), where individuals would subscribe to a list, but that list might also subscribe to other lists themselves, and then you throw a web interface in front of it.
I know you’re using the e-mail analogy to represent how SMTP and ActivtyPub are a common protocol, but I’ve seen the same analogy mentioned several times and I think it only serves to muddy the waters, because it’s incomplete.
I’m not sure you understand how outsourcing works …
Fuck u/spez, stay dark indefinitely.
Also, those statements appear to conflict. Why are they automatically excluding ‘sensitive professions’ yet stating ‘it depends on the seriousness of the crime’?
