Don’t threaten me with a good time
I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Having most of the year off for festivals and holy days
They aren’t as efficient at generating rent due to their maintenance and upkeep costs, so real estate holdings firms are hell bent on liquidating them, subdividing them, and redeveloping the land piecemeal in ways that better optimize for fine access control and not having to take care of any “dead” non-money-making spaces such as the concourses between the stores. Instead: just parking lots between store fronts.
This is what happened near me. The malls got turned inside out, so it’s just big boxes around a giant parking lot.
If I can’t type the program into my TRS-80 from a computer magazine I don’t trust it.
I can’t envision a federated service dying. Even if it’s me pedaling a bike to run a raspberry pi hosting an instance that’s just me posting it’ll exist.
The closed-source devs I’ve worked with also lack it.
This is why the humanities are important.
You can’t automate away all the unpleasant and technical bits.
But it’s our job to try

Exactly, except like all computer metaphors they break down when you get into the details. I can’t put a document in more than one folder and update them at the same time IRL like I can do with a symlink.
Directory is the older term, but when they started making computers user friendly they needed a friendlier word for it. Folders make sense because people understand putting files in folders in real life.
Yeah! There’s a lot more to open source projects than code. Even if all you do is edit the docs for punctuation and spelling mistakes you’re helping.
Just you wait. You’ll see “This bike lane brought to you by Chevrolet” in under a decade.
And then once enough people buy the premium membership they’ll start putting ads on those, too.
They will get the market share of us few weirdos who haven’t just accepted this shit. They will lose out on advertising revenue, have to charge more for gas, and will go out of business.
They’ll start putting ads in the bike lanes
Voting with your money sounds about as effective at influencing things as actual voting.
Your money is the squeak of a mouse against the thunderclap of advertising money.
If they lose a couple weirdos like us but get to sell eyeballs, they’ll do it.
Neither of those work at the gas station nearest my house. In my frustration I began running my fingers up and down the buttons and found that if you press the second from the top on both sides you get into an administrative screen. Pump still works fine and the ad is muted, and it resets when I leave.
Does it make a Star Trek communicator sound when it opens? Because doing it myself is inconvenient.
