Me too, bird. Me too…

Showing up early or on time for any meeting, other than a client or outside collaborator , communicates to everyone involved that you have nothing better to do with your time.

Just a touch too close to reality. That was a beyond-awesome comment.

most of those people would forget you exist if you leave Facebook

This is 100% true. I dropped facebook about 10 years back. If I’m not your “friend” without facebook, then you’re not really my friend. Getting out of that cesspool of drama and ignorance was one of the best moves I’ve made.

Why is this man not using dark mode…

Not everyone likes dark mode. I can’t speak for Linus, but dark mode seriously bothers my eyes.

Oh dear, don’t ever forget your netmask.

Exactly. I’ll go back to browsing the web with Lynx before I accept ads. If it breaks, it breaks…

You may be right, technically, but based on the context, I’m quite sure the use of the word “dark” here is intended to frame the behavior as negative. It’s just like when various media authors refer to TOR as the “dark web” even though it has countless valid uses that are not enabling illegal/immoral behaviors.

I don’t care. The only reason this is an issue is because of all the other expectations we’ve created around time and scheduling.

Humans used to do this for millennia without calendars or clocks

“wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time.”

That’s perfect! I’m stealing this. I HATE, despise, loath in every respect clocks, watches, calendars and any other form of scheduling oppression. Go pound sand - I’ll show up when I show up.

Sadly, it remains relevant.

The site is still there, but the comment sections are no longer fun nor do you find intelligent feedback as frequently as you could in the early days. Last time I was poking around there, the mods were upvoting climate denial comments. So much for science. (source: low uid)

Tesla? You mean the Ford Pinto of EVs?? https://www.rawstory.com/cybertruck-2671127676/

I hope they listen to him and/or he starts directing how they should do things from the ground-up.

I hate Windows and would love to see ruined too.

I don’t know about your TV but that cat rules!!!

I’ve administered BSD servers professionally and I have to say that it was one of the nicest, most consistent, operating systems I’ve worked with. I’ve worked with Linux since the mid-90s and done more than my fair share of Windows Server/AD admin. and I would gladly manage a room full of BSD hosts again.

Who pays first? The user, the content creator, or the content host?

I couldn’t care less. If my adblocker is that final straw that caused a company to go out of business, brings on the collapse of the internet as a whole, and ultimately the breakdown of western civilization, then all of it deserves to die. With that knowledge, I’d still update by block lists and donate to adblocking projects.

Tabs suck. Use a real editor and spaces work fine.
