Whoah, I went down the rabbit hole after googling this “great vowel shift” and damn if it isn’t insanely interesting! English should have naturally split into descendant languages but the arrival of the printing press in the middle of the transition messed things up royally and now the entire world has to bear the idiosyncrasies. Nothing short of amazing, thanks a lot for your reply!

What science and sociology did you learn from these shows?

I enjoy it thoroughly, but it is still in all senses a kids show though.

LOL, how do you suppose the protected class will fare if the provider class stops participating as a result?

Straight men can’t vote on laws for women and LGBTQ people? Sure, then straight men will also refuse to extend public safety protections and social security nets they provide from their effort to the women and queer. How would that hold?

It is weird how this kind of writing won out in Europe when it literally had exposure from all sides to far better more sensible scripts.

Fixing tech debt is more a people/commercial problem than a technical one. You just had to send a report to one guy, but that guy has to spend ridiculous amounts of energy convincing execs and stakeholders that it is worth breaking their current real workflows for a future imaginary payoff. Piling AI on the broken establishment model is relatively more appealing. That Principal might have just done you a favor you didn’t realize.

Age of Empires 2 DE is an addictive brainworm that eats up hours like nothing and turns your mind to mush

All articles in one page

Strange, I have weed stashed with me and two joints I rolled two months ago but haven’t been touched yet. Just never get in the mood.

Just upload ye olde tarballs onto your static raw-HTML-coded site like the classic programmers (like the legendary Monsieur Bellard) do.

My gaming PC has no personally-identifiable information whatsoever and can be purged freely at a moment’s notice.

Checkmate.

Shit like that doesn’t happen overnight, bub

The time scale for those changes to materialize is measured in decades. We might eventually see a dedollarized world if the US continues failing spectacularly for the next few years. Right now things are still in “anyone’s game” territory.

Wanna hear a limerick?

Lambert, Lambert, what a prick.

If you’re a pirate I always recommend keeping your gaming/media PC dedicated to only that and do other work stuff on another computer. That way even if you catch malware or viruses it can’t harm any important stuff.

Why do I prefer wearing the clothes and shoes that I’ve already broken in and gotten used to instead of crisp new items just out of the store? Guess I’ll never know

LOL, try this attitude when working on a job where (thanks to LLMs) management expectations are now updated for you to ship at twice the speed or more and see how long you last

It’s honestly remarkable that LLM code generators are somehow succeeding in making writing software easier where graphical RAD tools failed. Frontier software dev engineers may argue it to be useless for complex tasks but the regular analyst or officeman is definitely better off for internal CRUD use cases that’d earlier would have required them to consult the dev team.

Many GOATed piracy resources have always been hosted on Github. Massgrave and abbodi1406’s Windows and Office activators, Goldberg’s SteamEmu, and many of the public wikis that accept edits through pull requests.

what idiot decided that only one settings window is allowed open at one time?

Microsoft’s army of macbook-using UI “designers” who have to justify their salary so they make up shit nobody wants

Windows for Legacy PCs

Low-margin product with no feasible return over the costs it takes to build and maintain. Windows 11 meanwhile is the main advertising and cross-selling platform for Microsoft’s high-margin cloud and AI products. Little wonder they prefer one over the other.
