It’s one of the most mind blowing man-made things I’ve ever seen. The only thing I can think of that was similar to walking into it was walking into the building at Kennedy space centre with the Saturn V in it.

I was never as into Ween as some of my friends were, but The Mollusk is a masterpiece IMO.

It’s kinda like Mr Bungle - California. If you can casually make an album of pop music that good, you have my eternal respect, even if I never fully get into the less approachable work.

But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting.

So the point of this speech was: don’t make the mistake of fighting fascism again.

Don’t think of it as a giveaway to the undeserving

Imagine even thinking this about bus fares, when there’s corporate welfare, subsidies, bailouts, and a tax code that heavily favours the wealthy.

Yeah, I try to make a point of using free software and contributing where I can. It does have to rise to a certain threshold of annoyance though.

My favourite example of Spotify being shit is:

I want to play an album, so I go to it and press play. Then a bit later I want to queue a second album after the first one is done. How do I do that? As far as I can tell the answer is to go fuck myself. I have start a new queue or playlist with both albums in it.

That’s apart from all the basic software quality stuff like randomly restarting the queue.

Edit: so now I use finamp with jellyfin, which I can actually fix when it does something I hate.

How can I add words to this sentence without adding information?

Just keep the door and you’re creating even more jobs in the door factory.

This is actually the least stupid example of this type of abbreviation

That’s insane. Even if they did this intentionally to be as difficult as possible, they locked themselves out of being able to detect long presses?

We used to do one can of frozen OJ to one bottle of vodka. I don’t think we ever gave it 3 days to freeze though. It was a pleasant slush.

We called it ‘juice’.

It’s called a Doohickey, thank you very much

That part is JE quoting something Kotick said. That’s why the other person is responding to JE and mocking him for it.

I don’t really want them around trying to touch stuff at all

Don’t let Ted Turnermicrosoft deface my movieopen source software with his crayonsslop machine

Who are you?

The person who this finger belonged to.

Cool. Come on in.

It’a not infinite yet, but it will be once he controls the central bank. What could go wrong?

I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety

Sounds like she’s not getting serious threats, but she’s getting targeted marketing / extortion from security firms.

(1) boilerplate code that is so predictable a machine can do it

The thing I hate most about it is that we should be putting effort into removing the need for boilerplate. Generating it with a non-deterministic 3rd party black box is insane.

It’s like another attempt at programming with natural language, except using a non-deterministic black box.

They should call it Wish-BASIC ™

I thought I saw it as far back as simcopter
