Heckling your friends after they dropped $3k on some sloppy fridge is kinda cruel. Advise them hard when they ask for advice - here’s where you say “everyone will laugh” and “stupidest idea” - but commiserate when they realize what they’ve got.

You want to be in a position to offer advice for the next sloppy purchase.

probably shut down the AI servers in a few years for cost reduction making the whole thing a huge waste of money.

It’s like you’ve seen the Portal video chat units. (What a beautiful piece of hardware)

Good drivers subsidize the assholes

The same as healthy people subsidize the sick; or childless people subsidize schools anyway?

That’s something the EU would do, but never America.

Dub dub dub.

Tomorrow. I’m stoked.

“configuring DHCP in networkd/NetworkManager systems is almost impossible, here’s how I did it”

six lines.

Outside of Systemd and all its other neu-code shyte, it’s a one-line change to either your network config or your dhclient.conf. It’s been around 35 years and well-tested, and didn’t need St Lennart’s cancer to somehow fix.

When it ain’t broke …

They’re no longer Danish?

Yeah: be the grifter, and not the grifted.

Your uncle is a legend.

Do you have memories of some no-bucket pre-tween in a Mackinaw laying a shoulder into the panic button below some collegiate’s sternum and makin him see the white buffalo? Because I’d watch that. ;-)

I love this comment. It’s like asking an ant to hold back the tide. The fact it’s said so unironically makes it better.

I wish I could be you, and I have a dear friend who is as liberal with his truth.

I worry so many of us suffered unintentional neglect during times of crises - divorces, poverty-driven migration, etc - because everyone had to cope and keep working and was exhausted in the rebuild, that we aren’t as free with our feelings as we should be because we didn’t see or get the practice.

And poor people don’t get professional help to course-correct since they’re barely food-secure.

But you’re awesome. And every time I see a grown-ass man displaying physical parental affection for his child - a kiss, a hug, snuggling a sleepy babeh, all that - I know that child has amazing potential to express his/her own affection without so much reservation.

It’s a good trend. Keep it up.

Iraq war was started in direct response to the 9/11 attacks

Nah. That - and Afghanistan - was merely correlative. Attacking a third-party country because of the actions of some Saudis based on what a Saudi royal spearheaded is nonsensical. It was absurd; and probably about Oil.

Obviously she is intelligent; she went to Canada instead of Miami.

Well, people who can’t get into Canada need somewhere to go. :-P

I work 100% remotely, and my day job doesn’t even have profile pics. When we meet, it’s a dozen cartoon images or memes as faces. No cams, no pics.

The side gig I’ve had for 20 years has never had a pic. These people wouldn’t recognize me if I walked in the office one day.

Why should I? We don’t see a value.

Container crutches. Ew. And if a dev can’t spell self-hosted, then I don’t trust them to do it properly.

Yes. Close your biological waste disposal units, ya crude yokels!

Canada would be happy to receive many of these skilled refugees. There are programmes now for medical workers, and if global companies prefer American timezones for worker surveillance, then have I got news for them !

make due

Bone apple tea!
