A sigh and a downvote. It’s just policy.

I love the many ways the Dead Sea Effect is getting press during these otherwise joyless times.

Agentic, I fucking hate this word.

It joins ‘the ask’ and ‘the spend’ and ‘action this’ as words people use to sound trendy and smart. It’s the surest sign someone went from Used Cars to I.T sales in their career, and should be heard with similar mistrust.

If your peers use these - heck, if they use ‘emails’, pluralizing the mass noun - just laugh at them like you got their absurdist attempt to lampoon one of these people so they can learn how ridiculous they sound. Help your friends.

maxxing

12 years of school and that’s how they constructed that word?

Hillary was an awful candidate

… says anyone not focused on Hillary’s career before the presidency.

It’s just soulless IBM suits in a trenchcoat.

3ooo words and it’s all about neu-packages and the methods through which they’re all rife the supply-chain attacks anyway. Not a proper packaging or secure delivery and distribution model in sight.

The ask

That’s how I know this guy isn’t serious, and may not recognize proper packaging if it cut him off in traffic.

When app people try to be OS people, it’s a bad day. Enough of your cargo, your composer, and definitely enough NPM. No more pips. No more cpans. Deliver your shit properly - validation and caching is already established, if you do it right, and probably BitTorrent distro too - and just forget this paper ever existed.

This is a fucking solved problem. Just the Lost Boys werent paying attention before the mentors were gone.

Enough is enough!

Can we just not take him into Canada on a “refugee from persecution plea” and settle this?

For that matter, can we just take all the people America is exporting and put them to work as TFWs for a while so they can eat and breathe and walk down the goddamned street?

That’s an expensive piece of tech!

Agreed, here, but I’m also completely intolerant of shit tech. I’ve rage-spanked my phone on something so often, I’m surprised it still works well – but credit maybe to Spigen cases, I guess.

Honestly I Drink, but more importantly, I’ve made sure to learn the game that all these rich shitheads play. Wait

So, “capitalism sucks, but I’ve got a system[tm]: Buy low, sell high!”

That’s your plan? Orwell had a horse on his Animal Farm, too.

He fucking admitted he did not see those benefits, but then said immediately afterwards that the company had to use it because the competitors were using it.

I just realized the entire Ai bubble - and, by extension, the US economy, and then other linked economies in spill-over - is hoisted up on c-level FOMO.

That’s it? We’re fucked.

literally

Downvote. Move on. There is no alternative if we want to kill this kid-pidgin and others like it.

False. The IIgs was amazing.

here

where?

So it’s not Federated yet; just “Federated”.

anymore

any more

• Mr Mister: “Broken Wings”
• Platinum Blond: “Standing in the Dark”
• Billy Talent: “Fallen Leaves”
• Crash Test Dummies: “Superman”
• Arrogant Worms: “The Last Saskatchewan Pirate”

I worked security while we created and shipped an enterprise linux distro and maintained AT&T Unix.

Flatpaks, even at their best, break Single Source of Truth for installed state. This alone should invalidate them, but they also don’t validate contents against a signed manifest like proper packages will, and so the supply-chain exploits are a huge risk.

But if all your friends do risky things and you need to join them, then you be you.

You found a solution and you are looking for a problem.

This is not the way it goes. You identify a problem, and if the solution involves self-hosting then you solve it with self-hosting.

I like how you’re looking at newest stats and suggesting a trend based on it; but ignoring the existing trend. Seems sketchy, but stay the course.
