Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.
Thanks bud, I’ll check them out.
Generally speaking, programmers like to program (many do it just for fun), and many dislike review. AI removes the programming from the equation in favour of review.
This really resonated with me and is an excellent point. I’m going to have to remember that one.
Anybody got a suggestion for a better retailer?
I’ve spent quite a lot of money at Goulet over the years.
I feel your pain.
Years ago I threw a party for work friends and acquaintances where I had 30 confirmed and 10 tentative (from calendar invite). I bought a variety of drinks (alcoholic and non) and bought/cooked food for about 50 to ensure there was plenty.
… 4 people showed up.
That was the instant that I stopped giving a fuck. Ever since then I’ve adopted the approach of “I’m going to do something, you can come if you want, but I’m not planning for you”. Or, more commonly, I just don’t organize anything :)
EDIT: I should note that this was a recurring yearly party that got bigger and bigger over 5 years until it just died. Pre COVID.
Ooo, I’ll have to check this out. Thank you
Same here for the most part. Every now and then I’ll see something recommended that may be on the edge but I’m not clicking it to find out.
I should note that I’m not talking about shorts so I guess I’m off topic here. They wouldn’t stop nagging me so installed a plugin to permanently hide it :)
I don’t know if “scuttlefish” was intentional but I love it.
It was weird that it needed my social security number, bank account, mother’s maiden name, and the name of my first pet to make the order but I guess it was worth it to stay healthy. Thanks bud!
O, and tell Derek I said hey.
Slashnet still exists and it’s fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.
You’re supposed to put a link to where we can buy your miracle vinegar/silver mix in your post. Have you learned nothing from these marketing geniuses?
I’m sitting in the backyard after work with my beard, my alcohol, and watching my chickens hunt grasshoppers in the yard… I nearly felt personally attacked.
If that had said “beard, alcohol, and chickens” then I would’ve been resigned to the stereotype.
Edit: on the beard, I’m just lazy. It’s just going to grow back anyway plus it’s a time saver. I’m rolling out of bed, into clothes, and into work at 05:30. Ain’t nobody got time for shaving. I gave up on shaving about 40 years ago.
: D
I think they just fixed it
Yeah, Linux can capture and playback the spoken distinction between lowercase and uppercase letters. Windows can’t do that.
You’re not taking advantage of that functionality?
I was at a tire shop the other day and somebody gave them the keys and said “it’s a blue Honda Accord”
The tech came back confused and eventually they realized it was a grayish (maybe a tinge of blue) Hyundai Accent.
At least they got the first letters correct, I guess.
The one I remember from school was phrased slightly differently (but same concept) :
Poor little Jimmy is lying on the floor, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4
For the dumb people here (me), could you explain what an “ear” is in this context please?
I once had a keyboard with a “Works with Netware!” sticker.
Alas, I can’t find any networking gear that has a “works with Linux” sticker so I’m just out of luck on that “Internet” thing all the kids are talking about.
