You don’t have to be a good person to do something good.

Here’s how I approach old and slow:

1. Older software is mature and battle tested. It’s been around long enough that the developers should know what they’re doing, and have built a strong community for help and support.
2. Slow is okay when it comes to accuracy. Would I love to back up my gigabytes (peanuts compared to some of you folks out there with data centers in your attics) in seconds? Yes. But more importantly, I’d rather have my data be valid for if I ever need to do any kind of restore. And I’ve been around the block enough times in my career to see many useless backups.

No more than you putting words in ops mouth to fit your hateful agenda. 🤷‍♂️

Given the one company that has made the most headway with that is SpaceX, I’ll take my chances right here on earth.

You do realize the “/s” denotes they are being sarcastic.

I literally just spit some drink out my nose when I opened this thread and saw this.

~Thank you.~

It does when it’s the government who is making calls to cancel shows.

My favorite was AFTER unsubscribing from Hulu and Disney+, I got an email about an upcoming price hike:

Upcoming Hulu Price Change Dear Member, Thank you for being part of the Hulu community. We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed everything we have to offer, from blockbuster movies, to brand-new series and exclusive Originals.

As part of our continued investment in delivering world-class entertainment, the price of your Disney+, Hulu Bundle will increase to $12.99/month on your first billing cycle on or after October 21, 2025. Your plan will automatically renew at the new price unless you switch plans or cancel via Account before then.

You do not need to take any action to continue enjoying Hulu and Disney+.

Talk about tone deaf.

Edit: the email was dated the 23rd.

But only for certain classes of people.

Honestly, it’s a very nuanced topic that has no clear delineation of right and wrong. There are some things the Dems will champion, while other things they will abdicate. It’s confusing as fuck to be honest; not to mention mentally exhausting. But at the end of the day, they’re still far better than their conservative counterparts (sometimes barely).

While true to a small degree, it is very obvious how lopsided one side is in comparison to the other. But I wholeheartedly agree that us citizens are the ones left in the lurch and usually fighting with each other (class warfare).

At first I thought you were referring to the Mayor. After reading the article, and re-reading your comment, I now get you were talking about Kirk. Suffice it to say, I was confused. 😅

This is tragic, but not for the obvious reasons. Despite him being a hateful man who added nothing of value to this world, his death will do the same. ITT there are a lot of people who Kirk has negatively impacted. While I don’t blame anybody for how they feel, no one should be cheering or dancing about somebody’s death. But here we are.

What concerns me most is that his death will not make things better for anybody. If anything, I worry that it’ll make things much worse. Those people who followed Kirk will now feel more emboldened in their ideology, and view Kirk as a martyr. Trump and his ilk will probably lash out with more bullshit EOs or enforcement of their illegal policing of innocent people.

Celebrate while you can, as we certainly live in interesting times.

Codeberg is not just for static websites. It’s for FOSS projects. Their FAQ addresses this.

The enemy of my enemy and all that shit.

No, no, no! They absolutely are not the same, and if you tried drinking isopropyl alcohol (even watered down as rubbing alcohol), you’d do serious damage to your body.

One thing I saw somewhere cautioned against the breathalyzer because it’s sensitive to alcohol (as in hand sanitizer alcohol).

If you are not under the influence, always demand a blood test and refuse to allow an officer to use "their judgment.”

Know your rights. Here are North Carolina’s.

I wouldn’t consider “democrats” like Fetterman actual democrats. They’re there just for the votes, and then will push whatever fucked up agenda they can to kiss Republican ass.

Outside of my two kids that I get to see every other week, I have no family nor friends. Yet, I still wholeheartedly believe that I need my time off — even if I’m bored out of my head most of the time.
