I don’t do it for the money. I do it because I like doing it.

If paper is good enough for wiping the shit from my hands, it’s good enough for wiping the shit from my ass.

Enjoying it, and time.

Makes sense. You need geological time scales to describe how old that BlackBerry is that the person is holding.

I’m a happy Kagi convert, but yeah, this post is indistinguishable from an ad. A disclaimer and perhaps a rationale for posting would have helped.

They recently made that level unlimited. That’s when I became a customer. Before that, I agree, not worth it.

Sounds like 1P handled it about as well as they could, and the attacker didn’t get very far.

I might actually do that.

No, it was to run Teams as a PWA on Linux.

I develop software that runs on Windows, so I have to use it to some degree. I would pay so much money for an officially-supported version that lets me cut out all the shit I don’t need and not deal with stupid thirst tricks. For the longest, I just ran Windows Server in a VM.

I recently installed Edge for a technical reason and was instantly grossed out by all the stupid bling they’ve added to it.

Every time I hear this word firefish, I cannot help but be reminded of the phrase “turds of the firefish”, which appears quite randomly in one of Orson Scott Card’s novels.

We’re talking cross-platform depravity these days.

I even explicitly called out my statement as tongue-in-cheek, so it’s not to be taken 100% seriously. And full disclosure: I myself am not a PHP developer, but much worse: a PowerShell developer, among other languages.

You might be interested to know that I’m writing this comment from the Tri-Cities Area.

This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but kbin generally requires its users to be either unaware it is written in PHP or OK with using something written in PHP. That has to exert some selective pressure.

Annoyingly, the article never said what it tasted like.

Exchange rates are a bitch

I am both a (T-)SQL expert and a language design enthusiast. IMO, SQL the language is mediocre in its grammar and extremely resistant to cleanliness. Once you get past that, the things you can actually do with it are extremely useful.

I’d love for a better syntax to exist, but it’s a Herculean task to make one. Modern SQL dialects have gargantuan, labyrinthine grammars, and they grow with each new product version. It’s a lot easier to keep adding to that than to build a feature-complete replacement. This is also the reason why most ORMs are so frustratingly limiting: it’s too much work to support the advanced features of one SQL dialect, let alone multiple.

Sounds like it’s time for me to start investigating a move to a different cross-platform chat app. The enshitification continues.
