Knew exactly what scene this was before I’d even taken a good look, let alone read the text. One of my favourites, along with “I will not carry a gun, Frank”.
I'm Hiding 🇦🇺
I jumped off Reddit’s cliff and landed here just like many other Lemmings.

To be fair, POST could mean a number of things. Are we talking in a webserver context? BIOS context? The POST Office?
I got a fevah!
And the only cure…
is more pickle!
12·2 months agoPeople still have 2G?
We haven’t had 2G for nearly 8 years. 3G was killed late last year.
It’s such a pain, so many devices don’t support 4G, let alone VoLTE.
Surely 2G isn’t that hard to keep running? It has far better range than 4G, meaning fewer towers are needed. Just keep one or two bands around to make voice calls easier.
33·2 months agoAbsolutely not, I 100% agree.
To your point about who borrowed from who - one of my favourite examples is the story of Noah’s Ark, or less specifically, “The Great Flood”. So many religions and mythologies have a Great Flood story. It’s fascinating to see how similar or different certain people’s recounts were of historical events like that.
Like I say, at this point in my life I’m still of the opinion that a good chunk of the Bible means well, but who knows? One of these days I might run out of sci-fi novels to read and go cover to cover, old testament to new. It’s certainly possible my mind might yet change.
I admit I haven’t read the entire Bible. I’m not a particularly pious Christian, and I certainly don’t mean to try to convince anyone towards or against religion. Certainly, religion has its problems. That said:
I also love science. I’m an engineer, not a conspiracy theorist. I know the dinosours existed, I know evolution happened, I know the Big Bang was a thing. However, that doesn’t mean Jesus wasn’t a man who lived approximately 2000 years ago. It doesn’t mean he wasn’t a great teacher. It doesn’t mean there aren’t lessons to learn in any of the Bible’s stories.
Because that’s what they are: stories. They’re not 100% perfect recounts of events that happened. Heck, they’re most of the time not even 1% perfect recounts of events that happened. But some of them still have some wisdom worth sharing, just the same. At least, I think so.

1·10 months agoFuck I wish the politicians would give this to us straight like that.
Why is Albo’s party spreading memes about three eyed fish instead of saying “yeah Dutton’s nuclear plan is safe, but it maximises fossil fuel use in the short term and we’d prefer to focus on renewables”
Show me a reboot that doesn’t suck
Thunderbird is great for me. I’ve used it for near on twenty years, and it flies compared to Outlook, especially for searching.
Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The operation has failed.
As the de-facto IT admin in a small business, this message haunts my dreams and I hate that I know it by heart. Time to make a new mail profile and configure all the accounts again. Its not like it’s the seventh time on this computer. It’s not like I’ve reinstalled Outlook three times already as per Microsoft’s “accepted solution”.
There’s a reason I don’t use Microsoft software on my hardware.

10·2 years agoThe good thing about ChatGPT is that it gives you a starting point for languages you’re not familiar / rusty with.
I drive a cool, classic car most of the time.
It attracts a lot of 60 year old blokes with names like “Terry” and “Ian” every time I pull up to a stop.
I haven’t seen a girl so much as look sideways at it.
What about FreeTube? Revanced? Grayjay? You don’t need to host it yourself!
14·2 years agoI use Xournal++, too. Note that the original Xournal is no longer maintained, but Xournal++ is.
It’s supposed to be a clone of Windows Journal - the precursor to OneNote. It’s very good at exporting to and annotating PDFs, and I use it for all my classwork. Windows Journal worked great for me back in the day, and Xournal++ continues to do so today.
All that said, I’m saving this post so I can try out some of the alternatives listed here in the future.
I wrote one of those papers. The fuckers charged me $1000 to publish it as open access, then other journals download it and stick it on their websites and charge $60 to read it. What a joke!
