More than double the price. Not sure what it’s xompeting with, but not a pi

Yes, Tories are the baddies

Me too Shyfer, I buy 2nd hand a lot

Not hugely surprising given next gen consoles to all be without disc trays even

A csv of kick off times (in UTC) and who is playing would be helpful to whomever takes this up

What if I told you that typing in software engineering encompasses less than 5% of your day?

Never pay ransomware. Just write the data off. Learn how to take decent backups

Most directories were free actually. You could buy an advert if you wanted a bigger listing, far more transparent and helpful than whatever snakeoil SEO peddles. And SEOs taking credit for accessibility is akin to serial killers controlling the excess population. And you are grumpy about AI causing you long term search problems? Dare I say a loss of revenue and oblivion? Well cry me a fucking river. Welcome to the party, maybe now you’ll realise you are as unwanted as LLM search results

Re-read that and ask if any of it has actual value. Gaming Google is a bad way to make a living. Playing by their rules makes you complicit. You are part of a cabal of rogues that extort businesses into better results and if they don’t play then they are relegated to oblivion. The world would be a better place without SEOs. All those examples are because other SEOs have broken the system. The world would be a better place without Google at this stage. Do you bother with any other search engine? Do you try to make things better instead of trying to exploit a dying service that only maintains it’s monopoly through anti-competitive business practices.

Seriously: fuck SEOs. Go take your good skills and intelligence and go do something worthwhile

Yup, blame away, but also recognise lots of good that they have done too. Open Source, the fediverse, medical software, communications software. To name but a few. What good have SEOs ever done?

Worked with more than a few SEOs. Software developer here.

Fuck SEOs - that is why you are getting downvoted. Organic content creation has been ruined by you AND google. Own your problems, beg forgiveness, stop playing the stupid game where there are no winners

Almost like relying on wireless connections is a recipe for disaster for longevity of any tech. We can’t build anything any more to last more than a decade

The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it

Am I taking crazy pills? Discord and Slack suck just as much imo. They are all a shitty web app repackaged for the desktop. And they are all fine, barely anything to chose betweem them. Teams is probably the best as the calendar integration with outlook and hosting ad-hoc drop in meetings in a room is good, no really, the virtual office is fantastic for pairing and team work.

IM peaked with IRC though, the simplicity was excellent, Matrix the closest thing to it imo. I do wish more stuff integrated with it to offer the same business experience as teams

Beyond all Reason in a similar space

The jack connector has a really long history, back to the telegraph. The simplicity, the dependability, the interoperability, the lack of it falling out, or needing magnets, or who knows means it will be very tough to replace. And it has evolved too, it used to be a ball end, they have switched sizes, added channels

why do you recommend other tools over things which are tested and will last way longer than whatever the current fad is? The best part of Jenkins is it’s ubiquitousness - writing code that will run forever is not to be sniffed at

That’s the post office, not royal mail, but really any large company could make this fuckup
