Damn.

Remind me - those were bastard who arrested the terrorist? Bastards, right? The AmericanCopsAreOnlyBastards brigade hasn't stopped by yet.

Manhattan.

Okay, that's more "ant farm".

Having lived in the area 23 years ago, I had to check this was a 1990 drawing. It's not that it's too soon, but PTSD that is receding will still raise its head a bit and give you a look.

HEADPHONE JACK.

Sorry. Ahem. I'm good now.

🎵🎶 A THREE HOUR TOUR 🎶🎵 📺

I dunno season 1 seems to have started quiet, had some excitement in the pilot - hoo, 5 propellant failures but they still managed to dock; edge-of-your-seat stuff - but the rest of season 1 was a little too laid-back. Yeah, there was some mystery on the "funny noises" ep, but it was just a bad plot device.

They need the ratings as those eps must be expensive as heck to make. Season 2 better f'n pull me back in ... or I'm out.

Cruel generalizations are neat. It's like racism, but against the people who gave you that speeding ticket that one time.

I put you at 2 years -- one year to see this every month on Reddit, and then a year after the exodus.

I'm barely able to remember watching Star Wars in the summertime in the theatre.

When you run git-bash from an install of the git suite, that's a valid pathname.

Oh. Just on my system?

once businesses realize their audience is all machines and other advertisers?

It's like attending one of those trade shows for Mary Kay or Herbalife etc : the only people there are other salespeople, I assume, and once you realize you're not the consumer but the product, it all starts to feel like a Sunday morning ride home from Vegas.

Remember: GNU/Linux

I stopped there. Enough kowtowing to the toejamophage.

  1. I run with a preferred name instead of a Rupert J Farnsworth III name (actually it sounds like another name of a criminal; not as bad as my buddy Chuck Manson's name, but someone says 'hyuk hyuk' a few times a year).
  2. I don't have a phone number that will ring and get me. My personal phone is set up as a tablet and has no usable number and can't receive calls or text messages.

Guess that and the lack of a good app means I can't sell anything on the play store.

My old employer used to have people on staff just for technical writing. Some of that writing became the man pages you know, and some of it was 'just' documentation for commercial products - ID management and the like.

Then we sued IBM for breach of contract, and if you ask anyone about it they'll parrot the IBM PR themes exactly, as their PR work was brutal. People in Usenet and Forums were very mean, and the company decided to stop offering much of the stuff that it was for free. It was very 'f this'.

If man pages needed a volunteer to maintain, I know why ours tapered off.

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

 

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

 

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
