Luckily I’m in the US where we apparently only care about “the children” before they’re born.

“We listened very carefully to everything our customers wanted, and then we cranked out this impossible to use fucking piece of shit” - The Onion (for Sony, but it applies here)

Here we are, just waiting for the next overhyped wedge to shove in from the left.

Which kinda seems like a villain origin story to me.

It’s for the children!!

How is he conflicted? He knows he’s in them and doesn’t want them released, so he’s just going to pull his usual go to of “deflection” and “change the subject” until people forget.

Good thing its not NNN.

I use IPv6 every day and everywhere I can. It solves so many issues in large corporate and ISP network setups. And yes 10. Wasn’t big enough, and NATing is a PitA.

Honestly we just keep pushing it off when it’s not that bad. Workaround after workaround just because people are lazy.

Last I heard, all the providers in the US are in the “we’re not actively canceling them, but we won’t roll out new ones or fix problems.

I miss POTS. Copper landlines are a thing of the past. Now it’s just VoIP with a battery that doesn’t last long enough and another bill. (And place for scam/telemarketers/junk calls)

Same here. Though it makes sense as we also cut a “release” branch that aid what goes to production and it’s behind protections against rogue PRs/commits so devs can’t just push there, the process must be followed. “Main” is for devs. “Release” is for prod. “Master” didn’t really jive with that layout so it’s gone.

Pretty sure that was exactly the desired use of the tool. Definitely not misused.

Youtube is the second largest Social Network

I never saw it that way I till I saw a report on what the preferred social media platforms for teens… and it was the number one slot at that time. Apparently teens (and others) have entire conversations in the comments, share videos with friends, and doom scroll YouTube.

And I don’t know if you’ve read YouTube comment threads (I don’t usually) but they can get pretty toxic, even on tame content. Not to mention all the FUD and propaganda being distributed there.

As long as they grease the right palms in the US it’s fine.

The only thing I condemn the French inquiry on is that it should have already happened.

They need to NOT have an LLM. Period. I want a light weight, inexpensive, security focused email/docs platform with zero AI.

“Immigrants, we get the job done.”

Instead of building our own clouds, I want us to own the cloud. Keep all of the great parts about this feat of technical infrastructure, but put it in the hands of the people rather than corporations. I’m talking publicly funded, accessible, at cost cloud-services.

I worry that quickly this will follow this path:

• Someone has to pay for it, so it becomes like an HOA of compute. (A Compute Owners Association, perhaps) Everyone contributes, everyone pays their shares
• Now there’s a group making decisions… and they can impose rules voted upon by the group. Not everyone will like that, causing schisms.
• Economies of scale: COA’s get large enough to be more mini-corps and less communal. Now you’re starting to see “subscription fees” no differently than many cloud providers, just with more “ownership and self regulation”
• The people running these find that it takes a lot of work and need a salary. They also want to get hosted somewhere better than someone’s house, so they look for colocation facilities and worry about HA and DR.
• They keep growing and draw the ire of companies for hosting copies of licensed resources. Ownership (which this article says we don’t have anyway) is hard to prove, and lawsuits start flying. The COA has to protect itself, so it starts having to police what’s stored on it. And now it’s no better than what it replaced.

If I was in my 20’s I’d have thought about that 2.5x offer. Now that I’m in my 40’s I can say i wouldn’t even do it for 5x. You can’t buy back missed time, no matter how much money you have.

Part of me says that I’d do it for 20x… but I’d just end up quitting in a few months, take my money and retire early.
