His Indian kids are reaching that age when they either realize he’s a hateful insufferable piece of shit, OR they themselves become spoiled rich assholes with no moral compass and live off the griff.

But I want AI to convert my mp3s to Oggs and vice versa 😭😭😭

Not some stupid “conversion library” or whatever that is

Some people need to be separated. This isn’t about censorship, it’s about group dynamics.

Let’s take it from both angles - just to avoid politics. A disruptive kid in a classroom affects every other kid. Get rid of that kid, and suddenly the whole classroom improves. Everyone can agree to that.

The other side - a company has a pro-union worker. Shitty company doesn’t like not controlling their workers, so they find a way to fire them.

Back to the Nazi, separate them from the rest of society. We don’t need them.

I regret not making friends with the neighbors who owned chickens. They’re sitting on bird gold.

In a room full of dickheads, it’s often the loudest dickhead that gets their way. Often it’s the CEO.

Pretty much. These commenters seem to believe engineers are given all the resources needed to deliver everything in time in perfect condition.

I just realized I have no idea who pays for Let’s Encrypt. I just run the server commands, automate it, and move on.

“Haha Democrats, Republicans… They’re all the same! Haha. Haha. Ha. Ha…”

Yeah. If they die, you can sell the tombstone for money.

Pretty much.

Every person who was surprised that “Biden isn’t running?” During the votes is part of the problem of why Trump got re-elected.

Joplin.

Ive been paying for Workflowy and honestly, I’ve reached my limit of cost vs value.

I needed a way to do more than just bullets, like Evernote without the bloat, or OneNote/Notes without the megacorp, something I can export and read 100 years from now.

I was surprised how often I use it, and slowly weening off of Workflowy.

He’s just Some Amateur.

Yeah it was a fun journey to watch it all unfold!

Can confirm. I am a imagination of FlyingSquid.

I seriously think airlines are a sham after riding a bunch of trains.

On a train:

Seats are massive. First class wasn’t like 5x the ticket price. No charge for luggage. No wack-ass TSA giving you conflicting rules about if you should keep your shoes/belts on or not. You want to rent a room so you can sleep, do it. You wanna jog from one end to another? Sure.

Unfortunately in America, trains don’t fully connect to most places. And because of the price, attracts some real skeevos who leave the place a mess. In most other countries, my god. It’s beautiful.

TIL I’m a GILF.

Went for a checkup. I remember telling my doctor I was surprised by their results.

And they said, “we told you five years ago.” And pulled out timestamps.

Brutal.

How did I get this ad? I don’t fit the profile.

You weren’t kidding! This is a rollercoaster ride of incredible twists and turns!

The problem, according to three former Cooler Screens executives and a former Yahoo executive, was that their clients thought of the screens as “shopper marketing,” an old-timey ad category that covered in-store promos like the balloons or cardboard displays that clerks hang over cases of beer. Spending in this area was far lower than the more lucrative digital ad rates Avakian hoped to charge. One of the former Cooler Screens execs says that Avakian wanted marketing dollars well above what the industry was willing to pay and that his lieutenants could be preposterously condescending on calls with the Yahoo sales team, which at times devolved into shouting matches. “The Yahoo people hated them!” this former exec says. “Their MO was to ride them [Yahoo] like Secretariat.” (A Cooler Screens spokesperson says that this description is inaccurate and that Avakian’s relationship with Yahoo executives remained positive.)

Condescending calls with Yahoo sales team. Fucking hilarious.

If it helps, they also lock a lot of product, requiring employees to come and help customers directly.

It’s like they made their stores as hostile as possible to shop in.
