Yeah but nothing you do changes major events. It’s pretty on rails.

You can replay it just to get different conversations though.

I believe the original intent of the constitution was to review/update it every 20 years but they got lazy.

They knew it wouldn’t stand the test of time.

I know someone in college that writes very well and has to dumb it down a bit so it doesn’t get flagged as AI by some stupid scanner they use.

So yeah…

Cones might have something to do with those tents on the right. Might be an event at a venue.

I’ve been throwing Linux onto fresh SSDs for a bit now. Main issue with old laptops is all the different chargers. USBC laptop charging is really the best.

Planning to give the non USBC to family members.

So depending on the specs it might be fun to get a used Xbox One and turn it into a steam machine. Better it’ll be done within 2 years.

299 entries… That makes it 300! Congratulations!!

… When did the sun rise?

I have old game consoles. One cable for the USB weird pile was the odd Y cable for data and charging for a PSP

It doesn’t even need to be fancy or expensive

This doesn’t stop the drastic drop in popularity (and potentially development) of FOSS apps.

Lack of users means lack of donations.

We need to stop this BS instead of just trying to get a workaround.

Underpromise and overdeliver.

I was a Webmaster 15 years ago. I learned very quickly not to say how long anything takes.

Qoute 3~5 times the wrench time. Then report when you like.

Might be so. He said it in the first person so it could’ve been BS.

My ex brother in law is a commercial refrigeration tech. He did a emergency call to a restaurant that was losing temp on thier walk in freezer. Loaded with food that needed to be kept under freezing. Time was of the essence or all the food would be tossed due to health codes.

He came out diagnoses it. Qoutes a few grand to fix it. Approved. Then he fixes it in like 15min. Just tightened a single screw.

The owner was pissed he paid a few grand for 15min and a single screw tweak.

Tech looked at him and said he paid for it to be fixed. The fact that the fix was a single screw and which screw needed tweaking was specialized knowledge. He paid for the knowledge not the time.

I took that lesson to heart working in IT or really any field. Even when hiring people to do stuff for me. Sometimes it’s not just the labor it’s also the knowledge.

Security? How much? No. Skip it.

Everyone is talking about getting a fairphone and whatnot but I’m concerned about the open source apk communities shutting down since the market share and interest is killed by this.

If you tried to video call your cat I suspect one of two things would happen.

Either it’s entirely ignored or the cat would knock the camera/tablet off of the table.

Two way pet cams are a thing. You may not be able to text, but you can still stalk and get a bit of long distance affection.

Warning: Do not try this with cats.

This actually happened to me last month. I had to touch code from a previous team/project I was on.

I got the call for a collaboration/consult. I forgot everything about it. Jumped in a meeting next day anyway. We pulled up the code. Everything was documented and I had a section with parameters for a “wish” feature that they actually wanted finally. I pointed it out and told them the needful to finish the feature.

Thank you past me. I’ll have to buy you a drink.

Then I had a nice 5pm Scotch.

Cant beat em. Join em!
