I don’t screw them in unless it’s in a confined location where the cable is applying pressure to unseat, or if it’s fallen off at least once

What’s a token ring?

Also I’m pretty sure I still have a box of 3.5” they can have lol

Do they expect someone to work at cost for them? Running a company has overhead.

It sounds like they know what the code should do generally, but either didn’t design it to be debuggable or have no idea what they are doing.

Everyone has their own way of doing things and when you commit you need to make sure you deliver a quality product.

Bug hunting sucks, especially with other people’s design.

Hi ChatGPT, write code with no memory or logic errors to perform <thing you want to do>.

I’m not sure how to talk to ChatGPT, I’m assuming like Siri.

Nah fam.

Years ago it was “Don’t be evil”. Now it’s “Dont be evil™(1)(2)”

(1) it is okay to be evil if the profit would be outrageous (2) if it’s questionable, we ignore the evaluation to see how much profit it generates first

Modems can still make noise. As recently as five years ago I still had to work with modems. A lot of them now have silent mode though

You come from a nice family. My family disconnected each other all the time

I don’t believe that you don’t believe me

I don’t believe you

What? They didn’t sign the treaty. The treaty was between the PRC and the UK. HK didn’t sign….

HK has been politically part of PRC since, what, 97? It is not moving closer to China at this point. After Beijing installed a puppet, it became a definitive part of PRC. Hell, they are arresting news organizations. The UK held up their end of the deal, and PRC isn’t following through on theirs

I’m confused. You don’t know that the sun will rise tomorrow - you believe it will. Science is our best guess at how the universe around us works. Geocentric was how we believed the universe worked until that theory was proven to be wrong.

You know the current theory, and based on that knowledge you can believe it will rise. There could be some phenomenon that will turn the sun dark for 7 days that is not part of the current model. It’s unlikely, but possible.

Knowledge is the understanding of that which will not change. Yes, you can modify the theory tomorrow but it will not be the same theory as today. That’s why it’s knowable

I don’t get it. Did he diddle a kid like R Kelly?

I only joke about Arch being the superior distro because, well, I use it and because it’s apparently a thing.

I actually don’t have any strong feelings about Ubuntu. It’s a distro. It works. I only use Arch because of the AUR (I’m lazy, okay?). I don’t have strong feelings about it either. Linux is configurable to basically exactly what you want. Once (or if) you get into customization you just pick the distro that allows you to get to what you want faster.

I do have strong feelings about Windows though.

Gotta get out while the gettin is good. Otherwise, if you lose the copyright lawsuits… RIP

Uh oh, I think about Canada a lot.

I don’t know what it looks like now. In 2019, at least in one of the cities I went to, it seemed like everyone had a XiaoMi

I don’t think about Iraq. Should I?

Look in the OS provided “App Store” first - GUI or not, your choice.

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Look for a TRUSTED alternative App Store source. Then check the App Store again.

Still can’t find it? Look to see if there is a package available that your OS can recognize (different based on what flavor of Linux you’re running)

Still can’t find it? See if you can find the code to build the dang thing yourself.

… did everyone remove the media drive off laptops? There are also external media drives.
