jdeath ,

sad tire

jdeath ,

no mods no masters

jdeath ,

isn’t it funny how humans will end up using a trillion times more energy so that the calculator can be less reliable, but acts like a person

jdeath ,

nassim taleb calls it “over-platonification,” expecting everything to meet some platonic ideal. it is absolutely pervasive. this is another great example of it

jdeath ,

this feels correct. niche terms become slang. seems right

jdeath ,

i am millennial but i did hear it before. on the line.

jdeath ,

unions would probably make sure all juniors have to work weekends. kinda like airline unions make juniors work 10x unpaid labor hours than the seniors

jdeath ,

how would you know ahead of time? mostly (in USA at least) you don’t get a choice. when you join a job if they have a union you have to join, even if its corrupt. how can you prevent them from becoming corrupt?

jdeath ,

ah, thanks for explaining that. if there is an option to join or not join, then the unions would have some incentive to do a good job. but in the usa, that isn’t an option, so every union eventually turns corrupt.

I’m sure that was done intentionally, to render unions (worse than) useless.

jdeath ,

i got like a third through it before scrolling to the bottom to see how long it was. omg! should be the canonical example of the opposite of a shitpost ha

jdeath ,

thanks for reminding me of those. it gave me a laugh to think about people holding those worthless things

jdeath ,

how would they even monetize that? so basic

jdeath ,

I’m pretty sure if you read the comments you could figure it out

jdeath ,

the watches still work fine with an old OS. my son uses my old watch gen 1. it just doesn’t have all the new features or whatever

jdeath ,

its still wefwef on my phone and its never changing. i had forgotten that it had changed, actually. lol

jdeath ,

Ads are built. what do they need engineers for?

jdeath ,

Nooooooooooo! NO! No! Nooooooooo

jdeath ,

“cleanup” lol

Windows updates used to be seen as upgrades. I remember getting Win95 to run on my 386 with 8MB of RAM (which my buddy said wouldn’t be able to handle it). I was so stoked to have it working because 95 had so many improvements over 3.1. Of course each release had its issues but after some service packs they were usually pretty good.

Maybe it started with Windows ME, but it definitely was in full effect by Vista, where new releases became downgrades. XP was the last great version, when I had to move on from that everything started getting much worse UX-wise.

jdeath ,

yeah i hated that move. XP was so much better than 7. they went really bland, moved all the most useful quick controls, started the process of destroying the control panel… ugh

jdeath ,

no, it was XP

jdeath ,

what babies crave!

seriously, are you gonna baptize that baby in toilet water?!

jdeath ,

job postings are ops

jdeath ,

now your bill will increase to make up for it

jdeath ,

APAB. Fucking bullshit!

jdeath ,

isn’t that the award winning actress?

jdeath ,

why would someone go out of their way to use closed source lemmy clients?

jdeath ,

god damn i love relevant xkcds

jdeath ,

what are they tho?

jdeath ,

and then boom congratulations you just reinvented time zones except worse, & everyone’s gonna do their own way and they’re all gonna be slightly different.

but at least your code will be simpler. oh, wait…

jdeath ,

just move somewhere better. don’t mess up my timezone just because your weather always sucks!

jdeath ,

yeah it’s literally ass-backwards. how can anyone support DST as it stands is beyond me

Microsoft to separate Teams and Office globally amid antitrust scrutiny (www.reuters.com)

Microsoft (MSFT.O) will sell its chat and video app Teams separately from its Office product globally, the U.S. tech giant said on Monday, six months after it unbundled the two products in Europe in a bid to avert a possible EU antitrust fine.

jdeath ,

the two ways to increase profitability: bundling and unbundling

jdeath ,

oh yeah that’s a shop job for sure. i can definitely tell

jdeath ,

this should be the top child comment to the original comment

jdeath ,

thanks for the review i’ve been wondering about hese

jdeath ,

i’ll vote for nobody. nobody cares! nobody is honest! nobody for prez

jdeath ,

today’s response to my comment is brought to you by somebody who doesn’t understand how jokes work

jdeath ,

that is what i’ve done. you can even disconnect one from the internet and plug in a box any time

jdeath ,

yeah on top of that, if your computer breaks or something now you lost all of your keys.

say goodbye to whatever you own on the blockchain when the keys are gone. poof!

this is the biggest problem with any scheme tying private keys (digital) to anything in the real world.

jdeath ,

yeah if anything a subsidy for safer tires and doing proper maintenance on brakes and other safety system would be what you want.

what is subsidized, there is more of than there otherwise would be

and the opposite is true for what is taxed.

jdeath ,

You were born to deploy kubernetes

jdeath ,

most of the self checkouts i have used in the past 5 years or so have not even included the “scale” as part of the process. i do remember maybe once or twice that being an issue but it almost never happens any more. 10 years ago they were all “scale stupid” but it seems like that died off at least here in the eastern US
