Trump is famously sober.

I actually let my friends chew my face off and I do theirs.

ITT whaaaaat the fuck take on drugs, sponsored by Nancy reagan

From my pov I think you’re repeating exactly what I said, but I appreciate the additional details.

My last point is that “the design life we choose” is usually dictated by non-engineering forces. A 12th century king can throw resources at a problem. A 20th century governor cannot, and doesn’t care to. They care about the bridge lasting until the end of their term limits.

Yeppers that’s the thought process. thanks for explaining better than me.

I’m considering most economic systems prior to…the last few centuries to be essentially slavery. If some random king owns everything…

Not the same as America’s slavery of course, nor is it necessarily legally structured slavery as existed in many societies, but nevertheless.

I enjoy the argument because it’s a taboo, so nobody has a good argument. Nobody thinks it’s a real command. Nobody thinks for a moment Linus even wants that person dead. It’s Just Not How We Do Things here in Polite Society. We say “fuck you, c-loving geriatric” but “I can’t wait to see you in a grave, old man” is considered different even though the literal words are irrelevant. The speaker likely has no real interest in fucking the other coder, nor seeing them in a grave.

This amusingly puts it in precisely the same category as like, grandma being upset that their gkid won’t wear a bra or shave their pits.

You seem very intent on convincing multiple people we are more inconvenienced than we feel.

I think you are missing the feeling of smug superiority that comes from defeating the feeble multi-million dollar attempts to punish us…with 5 mouse clicks. So on the surface level it might be an inconvenience, but you step into the actual activity and boom, we’re telling these dumbasses to fuck off. And that’s fun.

That speaks to the historical purpose of journalism in the United States more than malice. When journalism doesn’t do that you get fox. Or the entire uk press.

Onedrive is easy to completely disable with group policy or registry tokens.

Yes if only we had any way to get this information. Sadly you and I are both completely ignorant.

Yep

It’s like when YouTube finds a way to show you an ad, and then you go to ublock and update filters and boom fixed.

Oh no Italy is requiring something unenforceable, hopefully nobody from other countries ignores this and provides VPN access unhindered.

Yep, playing Katy Perry’s Roar very loud, I just saw it in another article.

But did you read the exchange this conversation is about? It sounds like you’re operating on month-old headlines.

Why? Are you concerned that the date/time widget author is going to kill themselves? Or do you just not like the concept and don’t think people should talk about it? Something else?

One of those options is unlikely and the other is just a taboo.

Every generation is peddled two insane concepts:

When they are young, they are told that they have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then when they are old, they are told young people have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then you die.

Some are racist 20-somethings

No at Tesla he abuses his own workers and isn’t held accountable by the executive branch.

Here he is abusing our workers and isn’t held accountable by the judicial branch.

Totally separate.

Labor was free because of slavery, so the economics were not the same. Current engineering has the concept of “over engineering” which is what cracked-up addicts in wall street call “building to last”, due to the “expense” of not being shortsighted on a quarter by quarter basis.
