This is gonna be the way. PR too, America’s second-least-favourite protectorate after Samoa (you forgot it existed, didn’t ya?). PR can shore up a bunch with solar power – and whatever one does for things like storm damage mitigation, the other can also.
And let’s do haiti next, although that’ll need to be a whole new secure endeavour out of like an embassy basement or something that can’t be stolen or blown up.
Probably violates sanctions. With your DHS being super racist and paranoid, best not upset them and get sent to the thunder dome.
Man. I hope they don’t suck like in win 10/11. They’re kinda crunchy in windows.
Still hosting gitlab.
The CI on forgejo is, unfortunately, nowhere near as good.
Given how long gitlab has been struggling to fix basic bugs and instead creeping into features - hello-oo bloated and slow vscode-like web editor and non-ephemeral runner management - I’m not sure they have any staff left to let go. But it’s nice they found an excuse to shed their remaining talent and avoid complete stock devaluation.
The planning is happening openly, including a voluntary separation window.
“We don’t understand how the Dead Sea Effect works, and we want to super-size the damage.”. Okay. Bill.
This should be a note on the sidebar of all ask-* subs.
I don’t really understand the point?
Correct: you don’t. I’m basing this only off what you wrote, but I’m reasonably confident of my answer. Glad I could answer the question as asked.
Shaame!
Well, we get to slam it and heckle its users, because, well, we need SOME joy in The world…
No. Any frustration like this only serves to push all employees a bit.
And the Dead Sea Effect reminds us that the people who leave first will be those who get jobs elsewhere first. These are the most employable, and thus the most capable, and thus probably your best employees.
RTO and other stupid patterns won’t push out the most desperate; they’ll push out the most valuable. And then the most valuable of what’s left. And so on.
Managers who choose pride over effectiveness need to be unemployed.
Cost to harvest peaches to freely give to homeless dudes: very non-zero
Cost to burn peach trees: zero
Let me know how the class action goes.
Wow. I had to stop reading this one. Long on words, poor on writing and spelling and neither circling a theme so much as just edgelording on everything social, I’m not sure whether it was ever getting somewhere.
But life’s too short for 6000 words on The Things That Suck With Stuff I Don’t Use.
minimal acceptable set of politics.
I like how you said “minimal”, like it’s a floor and not a flavour.
No-no, it’s perfect like that. Don’t dare change it.
Those of us around for the days when off-shoring was some kind of magic pill will remember how it wasn’t. Outsourcing to some guy in Delhi, Ohio, doesn’t seem so different; apart from time zone, maybe.
Ai isn’t the cause for this but it certainly was the enabler.
What is the cause of the outrage? You’re being recorded from his glasses, yes, but you’re also being recorded from like 8 other camera angles with or without him
You seriously see no difference between store cameras recording for liability and some rando recording for lul$? The night-and-day difference between what a person agrees to with a store while shopping inside it and what is thrust on them by a rando with no regs on retention and security, is the absolute same to you? Really?
Really?
Nah. Having worked in the industry - we built (the) Unix and a Linux distro, and I helped secure it - I can absolutely confirm older OSes are being used for very crucial stuff in an ironic mix of risk and safety that is bizarre.
Hint: Big grey-blue boats with numbers and famous names on the side.
Supply chain attacks are what scare me.
As a former OS security pro, this is the right answer. Not because of the exploit itself, but because young (unmentored) coders readily trust some really bad patterns of pulling in random junk from the web and running it. THIS is how the LPE becomes essentially an RCE-level problem.
I’m both wary and weary. I’d be watching wearily AND warily, because 2026 is like that and we stare from our holes with tired droopy eyes that jump wide open at the slightest hint of danger.
We’re gonna need some vacations after all this.
Point: potential security risks identified
Counterpoint: cheaper
You see how these things don’t really intersect, right?
