Season 7 is just as bad. Wake up 🤣

If you haven’t watched GoT 1-6 in a while, go watch season 7 and tell me WTF is going on. It’s a god-honest fever dream. 🫠

If it gets “stolen” by a for-profit corporation it only makes it better, because now my software has reached more people, thus (theoretically) improving their lives.

Or it could be “stolen” by Raytheon, and helping ruin lives better.

I mean, essentially, the GPL just obligates someone borrowing from you to keep doing things “how it should be”.

What’s your project?

Sometimes you just wanna get fucked. --MIT

Sometimes you want to start a beautiful family that makes the world a better place. --GPL

Just don’t, you know, pick the former and mistake it for the latter.

Whatever you want, babe. There’s no wrong way to EQ.

You are not making an objective change.

Fine dining is so weird.

I used the Mcdonalds app a few times and the drivethru was always faster, lmao.

Vista was supposed to be for everyone, just too many companies didn’t take security seriously enough back then.

Win7 was just Vista with a PR upgrade.

Maximize enragement, forget about the billionaires robbing you blind.

Using an alphabet designed for Latin has had some dire consequences.

It’s just that they have no idea how to answer the question

Spacey, definately pretty gay

The road standards are designed to protect the occupants, not the other users on the road.

This is a critical flaw with current safety and CAFE standards.

My take-away, here, is that 8 years ago he could actually form a sentence.

You say that like a specific technology is inevitable, but it never is. The general march of tech will continue on, but no one thing is ever guaranteed.

e.g. 20 years ago everyone needed custom browser toolbars and now it’s not even possible to add one on major browsers. We eliminated the need for browser features by cramming 99% of what we need into a handful of websites that are constantly refreshed.

e.g. 10 years ago blockchain was surging and today it still doesn’t have a usable application. Turns out spreadsheets don’t really need to be distributed.

Machine learning is just an algorithm nobody understands. If I needed something to give me wrong answers to questions I’ll ask my dog.

On the other hand, discord is a great way to help organize a community wiki.

When you are trying to build a community

…Don’t use community software, got it.

Honey this is an Applebee’s, shit wherever you want.

You say that, but you pay a premium for these things to be generally less efficient. Why waste?

We have a fee-free bank-to-bank transfer system that is based on pre-digital technology that takes 2-3 business days. We often call it “direct deposit” or automated clearing house (ACH). It’s often used for payroll and paying bills.

Now, we could probably make this payment system instantaneous relatively effortlessly (and thus useful for regular in-store purchases), but the banks lobby against this so they can continue to charge us fees and interest to over-use credit cards. (Interestingly enough, credit and debit cards all use direct deposit on the backend to actual transfer funds between parties).

This is all fine and dandy for most people because they simply can’t imagine doing things a more consumer-friendly way.
