You broke up a month and a half ago and he was very clear he didn't want a relationship. He's a complete fuck-head for stringing you along for his own purposes, knowing you were investing your emotional energy into something he'd already buried. He should've just made a clean break. But also, believe him when he says he doesn't want a relationship.

It's so fucking embarrassing to watch him, and I hated him before. It sets my nerves on fire like the visual equivalent to nails on a chalkboard. Keep posting it. For every right-winger who sees it and cheers, there have to be four more who feel deeply ashamed to cast their lot with him.

dramatic increase in fossil fuel exports

Which also mean price increases domestically.

The place I work is actively developing an internal version of this. We already have optional AI PR reviews (they neither approve nor reject, just offer an opinion). As a reviewer, AI is the same as any other. It offers an opinion and you can judge for yourself whether its points need to be addressed or not. I'll be interested to see whether its comments affect the comments of the tech lead.

I've seen a preview of a system that detects problems like failing sonar analysis and it can offer a PR to fix it. I suppose for simple enough fixes like removing unused imports or unused code it might be fine. It gets static analysis and review like any other PR, so it's not going to be merging any defects without getting past a human reviewer.

I don't know how good any of this shit actually is. I tested the AI review once and it didn't have a lot to say because it was a really simple PR. It's a tool. When it does good, fine. When it doesn't, it probably won't take any more effort than any other bad input.

I'm sure you can always find horrific examples, but the question is how common they are and how subtle any introduced bugs are, to get past the developer and a human reviewer. Might depend more on time pressure than anything, like always.

This probably shouldn't count, but I diagnosed and removed a bad stick of RAM. It works much better now. Since I was running on 32Gb, I haven't really noticed the drop to 16. I'd been blaming system instability on not knowing how to properly maintain Linux and shit drivers. Turns out

Prior to that was when I bought a 2TB SSD.

They would have to turn on airplane mode quick while they were running because as soon as it has data, I'd have their location and my phone would've already been marked lost / stolen by my watch and queued for factory reset.

While in airplane mode there really wouldn't be much they could do. Anything useful is locked by Face ID. They could see my calendar and my most boring emails. They would have no passwords.

The phone itself would be useless as a phone as it couldn't be used in another carrier.

Sorry, mate. I dropped this.

I worked with a guy who ran PopOS and loved it. He said the UI was really good. I've seen it get some love in social places. Figured I'd give it a shot some time.

I'm pretty happy with Mint. It's comfortable and the conventions feel more familiar than even my work MacBook—like I don't even know what the desktop is for except my screenshots show up there for some reason. I don't think corporate would let me run Linux, but if they would I'd be happy with Mint or Ubuntu. They probably don't want to support a million flavors of Linux desktop.

I feel like Ubuntu has the greatest exposure among non-Linux folks. It's the only OS any place I've ever worked used on WSL back when I was still on windows. Probably a lot of corporate nerds want to stick to what's comfortable?

I have no idea if that's the reason, but Ubuntu and Mint are the only two distros I've tried for basically that reason. Heard good things about PopOS. Might try it some time if I wind up with an extra computer.

"Look, if you call my former employer you're going to hear some scary sounding gossip about me, but I ask you..." ziiiiip "... does this look like the penis of a person that would sexually harass someone? I rest my case."

I usually try to practice this (or at least make room for others to merge in) but last week the zipper merge took place right where an entrance ramp was also trying to merge creating a 3-way merge clusterfuck. Whoever put up the traffic cones should've been shot. Or... done a better job. All they had to do was complete the first merge before the entrance ramp, but no.

I was lucky enough to have already been in the left-most lane, at least.

America is the same way in that regard. I think what op was saying is when you're on the sidewalk or in a grocery aisle, use the same rules of the road with other pedestrians/bikers.

Then let's say more specifically, religions promoted and encouraged by the rich and powerful. The ones who whip the mob into a frenzy and then are like, "rah rah! You go guys! I'll be right behind you, I just have to wash my grass first. Cleanliness is next to godliness. Yeah, don't wait up for me."

Uh... Khakis.

Religion has always been a way to convince the poor to die for the rich. "Your rewards will come in the next life. Please kill yourself working."

Even Buddhism has the philosophy of suffering in this life will be repaid in the next. Fuck all that shit. There's no fucking reward, just death. Make sure you don't die carrying someone else's debt.

I see a strong correlation to broadband access. Once a direct, high-speed line was ubiquitous, it went from a place for nerds and enthusiasts to hang out to a market. High speed smartphones sealed the deal. Now it's possible to have a nearly continuous connection to every pair of eyes in the world. Or at least a sizeable percentage.

But I think it's the data speed. When you had to wait twenty seconds for a page of data to load there wasn't extraneous bullshit like ads or content suggestions, or scripts to track everyone. You had to send the absolute minimum and the only payment you got for your efforts was your hit counter.

I miss it.

Could just be age and nostalgia, but the nineties reality were a magical time. The 80's weren't bad either but of course I was living at home then so thems some rose-colored glasses for sure.

A sad reality is that a lot of the time when money is on the line people have to be hurt or even die before anything happens. Every regulation came from too many people being hurt by their absence. And we've rolled them back so now people are going to have to pay that human cost all over again in order to learn the lessons we already knew.

Yo dawg.

I heard you like comments.

So I prefix every line with a hashtag so I can comment my comment while I comment.
