My first like real programming job, in 2019, version control was "download the project from the share drive, update the code, then add your new code back to the share with todays date in the folder name".

Everyone, except 1 dude liked SVN or mercurial, wanted the boss to just get us on git. It became the general standard for a reason. None of us liked the version control system we had, but HDD space was cheap so the boss wasn't that concerned.

Theres a reason the dog post got so much traction on linkedin.

Anyone out of the loop the dog pist says:

"Yesterday I was walking to an interview. There was a starving dog on the road. I stopped to feed him & missed the interview. The next day I got a call asking to come in to do the interview. I was surprised, but I went. Then the interviewer came in. He was the dog."

The C&H people don't fucking pull punches and I love it. A few weeks ago when elmo rebranded twitter he asked people for a new logo and a C&H artist replied with the confederate flag

A few years back I remarked that Linus always came off like a bit of a douchebag. I was at the time heavily downvoted, but holy fuck. This is worse than I expected.

I found the poster on the birdsite, and from what I've seen of their pictures. No way is the subject them. The poster has way too long of hair for none of it to be visible in the photo.

Though having looked at their twitter, I am not surprised they said that about a stranger.

I remember someone awhile ago described him as a rich guy giving away life changing amounts of money so long as the pesents dance for him.

Yeah, this might be it. For anyone not aware, every browser on iOS is just safari with a different skin and some plugins to work with whatever ecosystem you actually are trying to use.

Okay, so two things.

  1. how is that a good thing?

  2. so what does that have to do with his trial?

Yeah, now imagine every linkedin influencer posting functionally identical nonsense but playing it straight and acting like its inspirational.

Just saw one for the first time today. Man its honestly much worse in person.

Step 1) Download the LLM with git

Well, fuck we should have known that this requires a masters in computering. Dude these comands are easy, literally copy and paste. The instructions are literally handholding you to run it and thats still to complicated. Also who makes furry porn with a Large Language Model?

Yeah, that's a problem with a lot of FOSS passion projects. We devs kinda like writting code, but not really documenting it. Hopefully with the influx of devs helping that will improve

In the first episode the discription said it was an adaptation of this rolling stone article in case you weren't aware.

I still have my reddit account, only to malicously mod one community and update a secret community about a move to lemmy, but I only use reddit now to do a quick check in on those subs and then a glace at the front page.

Anyway, i saw the reddit post and a bunch of people were livid and said they were doing chargebacks now. I informed them that chargebacks cost reddit more money than they initally spent (spend $5 they have to return the $5 and pay a $20 fee), and if tok many users do a chargeback then credit card companies would stop paying them wink.

EDIT: in response to telling people that it would hurt reddit finacially I got a 2 gold and 2 platnium awards which i hope were paid for with chargebacked credits.

USPS does NOT fuck around with mail crimes. Reporting it to them means they'll bring the hammer down.

This is fairly common for tech jobs, asking for more experience than is phisically possible. Theres a whole sub about shit like this on the old site.

Oh great, Skynet is actually the US millitary.

I'm sorry we're like this.

Hey some of us said we'd go on indefinately and after being told to open decided to maliously comply only. /r/baduibattles a sub I started is now only letting posts be of New reddit or the Reddit app. User involvement has plummeted, there are fewer posts, each with votes and comments. Automod also posts telling people to join us at !bad_ui_battles@programming.dev

Former "IT" coworker would do that too. He apparently didn't know how to type characters on tge number row, you know like & for example.

I called him out on him using caps lock instead of shift and he asked "what do yoy do, hold shift?" with a tone that implied I was the crazy one.

Yeah, theres shit like the battle of blair mountain that everyone should look into.

Hey, my fellow 'Muricans, we actually took up arms here for our right to have a living wage

I was looking into self hosting. What can I do to avoid dealing with this? Can I not cache images? Would I get in legal trouble for being federated with an instance being spammed?

He's fine. If he gets into an accident he'll just get back up in a little bit.

What? Are you saying a bunch of racist slave holders might have also been ageist? Complaing about "kids these days"?

Hey, he's also doing the lords work on there. After JBP posted some kink picture thinking it was some chinese consparacy, Robert Evans replied to every tweet of his with that picture to harrass the dumbass.

Robert's also an anarchist who hosts behind the bastards which I strongly recommend.

Yeah, this is a valid point, if this is the exact case or not I don't know, but a lot of people don't realize a lot of the weird biases that can appear in the training data.

Like that AI trained to detect ig a mole was cancer or not. A lot of the training data that was cancer had rulers in them. So the AI learned rulers are cancerous.

I could easily see something stupid like angle the picture was taken from being something the AI erroniously assumed to be useful for determining biological sex in this case.

A lot of the comment's I've seen everywhere over this news is "exiting vim" out of respect and admiration. They aren't being disrespectful but honoring the legacy that he fostered, and remembering the hard parts of his software.

Yeah, I'm in the IT dept (companys conatantly flop between throwing software into engineering, IT, or its own dept) and the other day, 5 minutes before I leave for a week long vacation a user comes up and asks if we're ignoring her.

Outlook is constantly asking for a password to one of the emails she uses. She doesn't know it and keeps clicking close on the popup. So she sends an email, FROM THE ACCOUNT SHE IS LOGGED OUT OF, to helpdesk a few days earlier.

Don poorleone apparently really irks him.

Theres also the WiiU a game console so poorly marketed people thought it was a new controller.

I've had calyxOS on this phone now for about 2 uears now. Its pretty good. It comes with microG to simulate the google apis.

Seriously, I don't understand tgat person's point. Before elon the check ment "yes this really is Billy West, voice actor for a lot of things". It wasn't a hard concept.

Dude. It's 2.3% of a massive industrialized nation where most citizens have access to some luxury goods. A nation with nearly 350 million people being the 3rd most populous country.

It does NOT fucking matter if it's """"""waste"""""" energy. And no, we don't fucking make that arguement about things like ac because you know why? Someone is getting comfort out of it instead of burning seals to make a line go up.

I had to stop listening to ICHH it gave me way too much anxiety and was just too stressed back when i listened in 2020. I've since taken up to instead listen to BTB and cool people who did cool stuff off the same network. Monsters that are usually dead and people who kick ass make me feel better.

Hmmmm. Best outcome I can think of would be the judge telling the dao to fuck off then putting pharma bro back in prison because.

I always hate seeing that, then i remember i've used both football feilds and time to drive somewhere as units of distance. So yeah, we will use anything
