Here I am like a plebe using a hot water bottle when cold and less bedsheets when hot. If only I knew there was a technical solution for a problem that’s already been solved hundreds of times over!

Amen. I get the sentiment but Jesus Christ everything is politics when you boil it down. Yes it’s draining to focus on it 24/7 but it’s equally destructive to bury your head in the sand.

The elephant in the room more people need to pay attention to that many of us who work in IT are painfully intimate with.

Many IT people are hardcore libertarians who believe in some warped idea that they are where they are through their intelligence and hardwork while completely ignoring many of them come from backgrounds that afforded them the opportunities they are taking advantage of.

100% many of them are sexist, racist and bigoted pieces of shit that hide it at work because they’re adept at masking the fact that a lot of them are borderline autistic at worst and neurodivergent at best.

This is also why you see such a deep investment in idiocy like AI, Bitcoin and other paradigm shifts. They all have their heads up their asses and feel they’re better than everyone else.

Couple all this with the demographic being primarily white males.

Fuck talk to any woman who works in IT. It’s changing yes, but Jesus Christ it’s a cesspool in many ways.

I love you all solutioning for something I don’t care enough about. I just find it annoying that systemctl reversed the order for some stupid reason.

Note the order of the commands. I don’t mind typing aystemctl

I’d rather complain

My biggest complaint with systemd…

Service xxx stop/start/restart is so much easier than

Systemctl stop/start/restart xxx

It fucking annoys me

Canadian Robin

I’m a goof. But also I’m the first Robin I see every spring and my mum says I’m special.

They should make it more like SO and have it chastise you for asking a stupid question you should already know the answer to lol

Gotta chase that Alpha!

I’ve almost beat the game and I still have no fucking clue what it’s about but I love the fight mechanics and I have them all looking as stupid as possible like mimes with electroshock hair.

Seriously the fight mechanics are damn good.

Sooner or later? They already are lol

Far as I remember any browser in iOS is a scam anyways because Apple forces any browser in their platform to be based off of the same engine as Safari.

Of which there’s no sign of. I agree it’s a bubble. I don’t see it popping yet in my day to day.

Personal experience as some of her views have come across my viewing habits is she is as full of shit at the next one. She passes off conjecture as fact.

I work in finance (IT side) if the bubble is gonna burst all the ppl making money off of it haven’t got the memo and I trust their collective intelligence over this woman.

Fun story close to a decade ago we were attempting to upgrade our batch scheduler called Tidal to version 6x which had a RESTful API.

One of the reasons we dropped the product was because we were getting 200 status codes meanwhile the output was a java dump of an error message.

They were adamant that this was an us problem, no matter how much I tried to explain to them with numerous links explaining to them that if something has a 200 status code that should mean things worked.

They argued that the 200 meant we were hitting the API fine. We would have to write code to read the return for if it was a error or not. I still don’t think they understood how stupid they were, even all these years later.
