Hot fuzz is a fantastic movie lol

Lol yep, newfies are borderline unparseable sometimes. The character Hitch from Shoresy will give you a relatively mild taste of the accent, and sometimes it sounds like he’s speaking gibberish.

It Can’t Happen Here

It can; it is; we have been watching the progression for decades; the vast majority of people didn’t notice because of how slow and creeping and careful it was for most of the preceding several decades.

People don’t quit jobs, they quit bosses.

Don’t do it. Or, if you do, firmly stipulate that you will not work under that person as a direct result of past experiences with that person. If that’s not an option, just say “thanks, but no thanks”.

…no… this is a bad idea. Especially in a browser, given the myriad safety and security concerns in play. This is an objectively bad way to make changes to the project. I can just about guarantee they’re going to introduce some horrid subtle flaws.

Woah wait what? The “let’s vibecode it” angle is fucking stupid, to be clear, but I was unaware of that user drama. Very interesting.

Yeah I’m running 16s and that’s pushing it imo

Holy fuck can you imagine how long it would take to re-stripe a failed drive in a z2 array 😭

I want to see how they react when I put on my robe and wizard hat

I fucking love this community. This is good and necessary work.

I do think there’d be more than a few mutinies and refusals to follow orders all across the board. Perhaps even to the level of the president trying to nationalize (for instance) the Minnesota National Guard, and their commander responding with a hearty “fuck you, eat shit”.

I’m saying I want to make a difference by helping to break the hegemony the country I was born in has on the world. I dare say the only people who would call that a bad thing are specifically the sort of people I absolutely fucking detest in this place.

As a unitedstatesian engineer, reading stories about escaping the infuriating (and now, very obviously caustic and manipulative) US monopoly on tech infrastructure companies makes me want to move to the EU and help break the monopoly on that shit. There are other things that make me want to move too, but the opportunity to build some real alternatives that diminish US hegemony over… well, everything, is frankly more than a bit enticing.

That’s… not a great development. Physical intimacy is generally an important part of most relationships.

x86: it’s easy peasy

arm: asahi is where you need to go, and the most recent chips are not really very well supported

lol yeah that’s not gonna fly in court. You can’t unilaterally make tectonic post hoc contractual adjustments like that. Or, you’re not supposed to be able to. But who knows these days.

As to the choice between gnome and KDE (desktop environments): Gnome is gonna have more of a ‘macOS’ vibe, while KDE is more of a ‘Windows’ vibe.

Look into Peter Thiel. He’s one of the most influential and strategic players operating in the shadows of the regime, and he’s been at it for well over a decade - probably closer to two. And he is one heinously evil motherfucker - personally, I consider him to be an enemy of humanity in general.
