He literally bought twitter and made it right wing extreme.

I’ve always interpreted it as someone who’s here only temporarily. They plan to go back eventually and as such stick to expat social groups with similar issues for e. g. temp permits as opposed to permanent permits for immigrants.

No, none of this is based on logic. It’s just words, like LLM words; it means nothing.

Have you seen Frieren? Demons only talk to confuse. They have no moral values. They appeal to ours only to not be killed, but it’s a ruse every time.

The same is true for fascists. None of this makes sense. It only serves to confuse, delay, obstruct, until they get what they want. They string together words so that our brains go brrr, but they’re infants babbling sounds. Stop talking to them as equals, they don’t see you as one. They see us as prey, as slaves, as livestock. And most don’t realize they’re livestock, too.

I get you were being sarcastic. I’m just mad.

Fair enough. I didn’t consider not voting (or third party for that matter) as an option, but, as you say, that’s my subconscious bias.

I’d love that, too. Immich has more fine grained user control on their timeline, though.

They don’t think that at all. It’s Trump by default and Harris has to convince to switch. It’s an unfair emotional battle. All of these opinions were “Harris not good enough, therefore Trump”, and Trump never had to clear the ‘good enough’ bar.

It’s also pretty hard to point to things and go “see? remember the thing we did 10 years ago? this is the effect it had!”

Many of Biden’s policies will come to fruition during the next term and Trump will falsely claim responsibility because he can point to it right away.

What if you’re wearing several layers of each in mixed order?

You guys still have a liberry?

So, while stereotypical, the surfer sign meaning isn’t far off!

Don’t give them the opportunity to sabotage.

Infrastructure maintenance is management, security and day to day business, while software engineering is mostly concerned with itself. They use distinct tools and generally have nothing to do with each other (except maybe integration).

We need new terms, IT means “works with computers, but more than Word and Excel” for too many people. In Switzerland they split the apprenticeship names to ‘platform engineer’ and ‘application engineer’, which I think is fitting.

All of that is fine, and they mentioned the management perspective, which I get. It was a field test and our original choice of 4001 - which is what other serial to TCP servers like us use, also in their network - was unavailable.

What irks me is the “technical impossibility” of raw TCP and “I must be wrong” when filling out their firewall change form.

They’ve since given us a different port “close to others that we use”, for whatever reason that matters, and based their choice on some list of common protocols outside the reserved range. But not 4001.

That by itself is just one thing and I wouldn’t give it a second thought, but it’s all part of a larger picture of ineptitude. They opened a ticket because an arrow at the border of our UI vanished when they screen shared on Teams. Because of the red border. And they blamed our application for it.

They didn’t set up their PKI correctly and opening our webpage on specific hosts gave the typical “go back” warning. But it was our fault somehow, even though the certificate was the one they supplied us and it was valid.

When trying to request a firewall change IT told me “ports between 1 and 1024 are reserved and can’t be used for anything else” so I couldn’t be using it for a pure TCP connection, and besides, there would have to be a protocol on top of TCP, just TCP as protocol is obviously wrong. I was using port 20 because it was already open…

You mean Russia starting the conflict that might turn into WW III two years ago?

No, it’s boating related. Four days in a sail.

Watch him try to sue potential buyers.

Yeah but if noobs use it as a dependency, who made the package?

And what projects are noobs working on that trigger 440GB of weekly traffic?

I fear most noobs remain noobs.

Seems to me the only reason for these kind of dependencies to exist in the first place is that people really, really, really, REALLY can’t code.
