The world is political.

Proper homemade ranch, not that nasty Hidden Valley shit. It’s pretty great.

Definitely heard it called that at least as far back as the 90s. I assume it predates that, though.

English may not be their first language (since the question mark thing is common in French, for example), though of course if that were true, their comment looks even worse.

I’m fairly certain there is a real version of this out there though, because I remember seeing it many years ago before all of the AI bullshit.

My sense is that this is a real photo that has been reproduced by AI.

Just because you like to put “CEO” on your LinkedIn doesn’t actually make you one being talked about. It’s talking about CEOs of large companies who are responsible for destroying countless lives.

When you start wielding wealth and resources as a weapon against humanity, then you are the problem. In a just society, these people would simply not exist, or at least, we’d have the means to quickly remove them from power if they somehow found a means to abuse society. However, we do not live in a just society, or one where justice is actually a guiding principle. We live in a capitalist society that enforces its will through violence, and only truly responds to violence. There is a very, very good reason that Luigi struck such a chord with so many people.

… Do you actually believe this nonsense?

I mean, not really. This is weird shit to put in a legal document and is pretty pointless. It’s also just hard to read due to contrast issues (which can be particularly relevant depending on any disabilities of interested parties, etc.). Like I’m pretty sure there is text on there that does not meet WCAG guidelines.

It’s definitely not appropriate for a court document. I’d go farther and say putting anything to dramatically draw attention to oneself in a court document is inappropriate. That’s simply not what court documents are for. They should strive to be as mundane, uninteresting, an impartial as possible.

Generally yes, that’s the way to do it, but there are plenty of times where you need to recreate the time zone something was created for, which means additionally storing the time zone information.

What movie is this even referencing? Almost every depiction of spiderman has him as a man of and for the people. Admittedly I haven’t watched more recent marvel movies. Has that changed, somehow?

It’s just for the “last mile” where code gets packaged up into releases. There’s still thousands of developers that have all of the code on their machines as well, it’s just that their local repos aren’t the ones that end up in the hands of end users.

Changes can come from anywhere. The Linux kernel itself doesn’t use any central repository like Github, it’s instead done via emailing patches that are eventually merged into the mainline kernel repository managed by Linus.

It is 100% decentralized.

“Annie are you ok?”

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine path/to/file will remove that shit.

Though personally, I get as much software as possible on my work MacBook through Nix, and only use .dmg files if absolutely required.

It’s not that hard, technically speaking, though of course it takes skill to come up with a set of glyphs that work well together and such.

Also, there are websites that can scan your handwriting and turn it into a font file, which is pretty cool. I have a font I created of my wife’s handwriting.

PSO? Fuck yeah.

Yep. It does increasingly feel like developers like me who find it deeply disturbing and problematic for our profession and society are going to increasingly become rarer. Fewer and fewer people are going to understand how anything actually works.

Anduril has had many, many recruiters desperately trying to get me to work for them. On the surface, what they make does sound incredibly cool: embedded systems/operating systems for autonomous robotics.

The only problem is those robots happen to be death bots (and Palmer Luckey, who makes me want to stay far, far away).

Flossing must be a bitch.

https://www.visidata.org/ is way, way, way, way better than excel and it’s FOSS.

As for the rest:

• I don’t really miss Word because WYSIWYG editing is just kinda bad across the board. Much better to write with markup rather than fighting an auto-formatter all the time.
• I thankfully have not needed to make much of any PowerPoints, but I think I would probably feel similarly about them and want them in some kind of markup language as well.
• Teams just sucks ass compared to many other alternatives, though I’m admittedly not familiar with good FOSS ones
• Outlook is basically just a dinosaur and there’s a million ways to do email better. Frankly, FOSS has it beat by a huge margin

The rest of Office isn’t really even worth talking about tbh.
