Spelled like faxing, taxing and relaxing? Why the added letter?

communities here I suppose

Yes. Never call them ‘comms’.

Everytime

Not a word.

Nice. That’s my favourite colour!

So

1. Unenforceable
2. Inaccurate
3. Over-reaching
4. PII not protected

What’s wrong with it then? By the numbers, it seems everything is wrong with it.

When you go order something from Amazon, you’re using about 15-20 computers in a row; probably more. PROVE you have the right. Yes, the server farm you’re using to make an order is included, and it’s a lot of machines.

Who pays to make sure Ticketmaster server farm is ‘used’ by age-appropriate customers and the code to check that is installed and maintained? Why, you, of course. The order panel at the burger joint? You, eventually. Toll ticket at Airport Parking? You’re gonna love this. Guess what’s in your cable box? Guess how often you’ll have to have your face scanned just to turn on the TV? TV too. Fancy thermostat? There’s a computer Nesting in there. Scan that face, bucko; on the new unit you have to buy because, dude, that and your microwave just became e-waste.

The list is unending. The implementation is shit. The data leak has already been shown with … discord, right?

If your business is critical for modern human living, it should be non-profit. It should be guided by the best management plan of the time, debated and approved by the majority of shareholders. It should open its books and stay open.

Really, it should be government.

It’s monstrous, but gitlab installs from one big RPM on a base box; and with one config file you’re up.

For me it’s the apostrophes

Warm Bodies is an homage to the Shakespeare Cinematic Universe. Just, with zombies.

How old is the Shakespeare Cinematic Universe? Does it count if it started out live-action?

But…Crash was a pic everyone needed to have seen. Is OBaA the same?

Crash was a hard watch.

Nuh-uh. What about the matrix?

Shit. You’re right.

Mmorpg is like a weekly TV show but you get to control it. It’s very addictive.

They forced an update that won’t run on my phone.

• can’t run the required version
• old version just tries to update

So I’m almost out anyway.

I like their chai lattes. I can’t get the same taste anywhere else, and if I try to make it it’s a “we have mcdonalds at home” result.

So about twice a year, now, I get a fucking c$6 latte as a treat. I miss 2019 with the many locations - one 80m away in my walkable block - and a really nice barista who made the effort to smile and chat directly. Now I have none of those things and this is like dia de los muertos.

The guy who wrote this is an idiot, but he became so in a world where “LoC” is a metric – one that Goodhart would love, but alas.

This is honestly the road to hell and the ~good intentions in one.

Mixing squishy people and big steel trucks will definitely impact one group a lot more than the other; and in ways not fixed by a painted line.

Good luck.

Yay! More places where devs will just say you can’t run their stuff.

I’m pretty sure I don’t need to use anything built by a company so preoccupied with my birthday.

… And based on usage, it’ll be run by a religious group. They consume the most porn, after all, and I bet this kind of bill is virtue-signaling or offloading of responsibility.

most of the world have Android

Heck, most of the Known Universe. This is how I say it to my fanboy sibling who moves those goalposts just so only America is in-frame and the numbers show a small advantage for the Home Team.

It’s called the universal operating system for a reason.

If they call themselves that, it really doesn’t count. It’s like how trump ended like 10 wars to get his FIFA peace medal.

Canada rejoices when our gas is only at us$5/gal.
