For crying out loud, stop that!

When you have a great programmer working on your project he will be cycled to a new project in 2-3 months. Your new senior developer who silently takes over the project is part time because he's working on finishing his education.

No one knows how anything works, except that one guy, who left the company half a year ago. That's how all software development is.

I'm shocked!

Denmark. I bought something from the US. About 300 DKK. I had to pay for shipping. About 300 DKK. I had to pay the toll. I had to pay a mandatory 120 DKK fee for the postal service to charge the toll. I had to pay taxes on the fee. I had to pay taxes on the purchase. I had to pay taxes on the shipping.

In the end I paid about 1000 DKK for a 300 DKK package.

My only argument I can come up with is that other people have friends, so $25 will be less than going to the cinema because they don't have to pay that price for each person watching. It's still ridiculously expensive though.

Something like this I gather.... https://www.dronesforukraine.fund

Nah. But attacking Jews who have no part in the genocide merely because they are Jews is.

Well, neither is iso...

Honestly I think one of the bigger hurdles is the confusion about where to sign up. You have to choose an instance, preferably one that is "compatible" with you. But it hardly matters to the user because it's all federated anyway. Just give me a server that will stay up.

But then how will I avoid breaking rules in the future?

That won't be an issue.

Lemmy.ml sucks. I really need to move on.

My dad's friend told him this when they were discussing something. My dad pointed out that the other guy was also keeping the discussion going, being just as guilty of wanting to be right as my dad.

*Differents

I don't. Not much less either, I don't interact much with social media. Not that I don't want to, but I rarely have anything of worth to contribute. To make matters worse, Lemmy is mostly missing the communities that I'm interested in, of if they're there, they have little engagement. On reddit it was a little better, and Facebook is just insane in comparison.

But mostly I don't have anything to say, and if I do it's mostly stupid. My primary means of helping Lemmy is to not interact (much).

They'll offer 7 years, and a new phone if you use it for the duration. Then after two years they'll go "nah, never mind" and drop it altogether.

Oh, he'll just change the unit test if it fails.

Given your username it's probably for the best.

singular they/them has been in use for literally centuries

Even if has been in use since forever, a more appropriate word can be introduced now.

Clones.

5.1.4 surround. I use an nvidia Shield for playing back files (via kodi), and it works pretty well.

Or a HURD.

Just like threads became threats in the title.

An Enermax keyboard has been my daily driver as a programmer for my career that started in 2007. It still works just fine and I still have no reason to change to something else. Lots of reasons not to, since I like the classic keyboard layout and the flat laptop keys.

Please explain... Who is GWAR? What is Tiny Desk? What's going on??

I mostly listen on headphones during my workday. I very much prefer to listen on speakers though.

What? Why do I see "removed" instead of whatever curse is uttered?

Not sure why you wrote it as quotes, but thank you for writing such a comprehensive answer to my questions. You truly are like magic, as you with no regard for humility, noted. The context given in the post was severely lacking.

Why I don't get is why they fight so hard to promote piracy though. It's not enough that it's free, it also has to be easier?

Digital media means that there is an ongoing service behind it.

I could download my file and be done with it. If I throw away or damage my super fragile bluray I'm not entitled to a new copy. I don't even need to be able to redownload (although it's a nice service). It means there is an ongoing service behind it because they decide it and because they are afraid I will share with my friends - which is about as difficult as finding the media elsewhere online.

With no more cash coming in, the service goes bankrupt.

Same issue with physical media. Suddenly your expensive factory is idle, your employees don't produce anything. We still get to buy movies and not rent them perpetually.

I'm chewing my way through the stormlight archives by Bryan Sanderson. Just finished book 2.5, on book 3 now.

And OIL!

I don't think Musk qualifies, being South African though.

Should have named it after sheep.
