For example, Republicans tend to have Christian evangelicals and business interests.
Yeah.
But at least the Christian evangelicals’ shareholders keep them so accountable to their core values that the desires of the mostly unorganized pastors leading the business owners have no meaningful say in the outcomes. (This is Sarcasm)
C.S. Lewis wrote that every death in our lives is an ending not just to their life, but an end to the unique part of our own life that only happened when we interacted with them.
It’s natural to fear and mourn that ending.
Looks like a successfully trained learning model, to me. (Sarcasm)
This is great stuff.
My comment from the peanut gallery today is just that there’s no law that CI/CD can’t be kept under control and run in ten seconds.
Given the choice between a slow out of control CI/CD mess, or a shell script, I too will take the shell script every time.
But I am living my best life today, and have a simple shell script in my CI/CD pipeline.
Labyrinth is a world where wishes come true, especially sexually charged but confused ones.
So I think your logic is spot on.
Shit. I didn’t think this through well enough. Can I change my answer to yours?
Ubuntu was a big part of my path to full time Linux use. I adore everyone who has contributed to Ubuntu.
But also, Snaps are bullshit, and are why I replaced all my Ubuntu installs with Debian.
Canonical doesn’t get to pretend to be surprised by the backlash for pushing an unnecessary closed proprietary platform on their freedom seeking users.
I still adore everyone at Canonical and in the Ubuntu community, for all they’ve done for the Linux community. Y’all still rock. Thanks!
Makes sense. Google has been replacing skilled engineers with tail-eating AI regurgitation engines, which are getting progressively worse as they eat their own shit.
But I’ve been told those regurgitation engines are about to get really smart and replace all skilled labor.
So maybe it’ll be fine.
Or maybe, as we’ve already started to see, more and more useful stuff will only be available via the Internet wayback machine, until they kill it.
David Cross and Bob Odenkirk, with a made-up face surgery scene mid-film to explain the change.
Earth, obviously. Or rather, where we think we left it…
Some other good answers already but here’s a sound byte version:
It’s currently expensive to borrow money, and then the borrowed money isn’t as useful as it used to be.
I have never subscribed to a community so quickly before this, and may never again.
Thank you!
Damn! That would be fucking awful.
If it’s an acquaintance, I try to ignore it and let it go. It’s awkward, but I’m probably not the only person who finds them attractive. I focus on what I think it takes to be a comfortable positive interaction for them, even if my natural reactions probably do show through.
If it’s a close friend, I would feel free to - in private - mention to them the effect of their (current) wardrobe, and just ask if they mind my enjoying the view.
“X is showing, when Y. It doesn’t bother me, I love the way you look. But I thought I would check if you’re aware and comfortable with it. I’m probably the tallest person here, I can just stand a bit further away, today, if you need me to.”
My saying something in private gives a chance to adjust, if what is showing is not what they were hoping for.
If exactly what they intended is showing, they can call me a prude; I can say sorry I thought better to check; and we can laugh it off.
And, of course, I try to respect whatever preference they share, regarding how they want to be looked at.
Mine is a collection of notes that I want to reference later. Sometimes I share a link with someone who is interested in the same topic.
The front couple of pages have my social media biography and a link to my public resume. Stuff that looks good if a potential employer searches for my name.
The rest is poorly organized notes for my own future reference. Admittedly, “I wrote a blog article on that. I’ll send you the link.” is a common phrase I utter, to friends, in person. I never check back if they read it. Once in an incredibly long time someone later tells me it was pretty helpful.
I did setup a bot to automatically post links onto my existing Mastodon account, from my RSS feed. I’ve gotten occasional positive feedback on Mastodon, for doing so.
Win10 x64 but considering switching that as well btw
Your don’t have to say that, but it’s appreciated!
Blink twice if the cult of Debian has you locked in a rehabilitation retreat center…
Source: I’m a die hard Debian user and I think we should advertise more, but I’m afraid some of my ideas might have gotten away from me…
"The Cheat is one handsome fellow!
…
That was definitely an ugly bird."
Yeah. It’s a legitimate business, where the funders at the top of the pyramid are paid by those that join at the bottom!
Yes. Yes it does.
Look for job listings that require command line Linux skill.
The candidate pool who can get around on a Linux command prompt is growing, but it’s still pretty small. It gives you some advantage toward networking, Cybersecurity, systems administration, and cloud deployment.
Why would Microsoft fire an employee for holding a vigil, it’s not like they …
Oh. Thanks for drawing attention to this, Microsoft! I appreciate that they’re so willing to invoke the Streisand Effect.
I hope those employees land somewhere where they build something that costs Microsoft a lot of profit.
