My dad and I both think apple has been best bang for the buck. I’ve let that one lapse, but I’ve enjoyed their originals.

I still pay for it because they haven’t cracked down on sharing. It’s why o still have Hulu too.

If that goes, then so does my sub.

I’m in that boat now 😭

Except I built the app from the ground up and I was super proud of it. I learned so much about PKI and S3 and made a better system for our suppliers, engineers, and customers.

The fatal flaw was that changing supplier workflows was a complete non starter. It didn’t matter that I reduced the complexity of supplier involvement and made it easier for them to work with us, the old supplier portal HAD to be their front end, which has no api to interact with (one of the drivers for this project).

Without the direct supplier pipeline, the tool is worse than useless. Now we need a manual process to receive, validate, and sign software before moving it to the new system. Then to deliver it requires another manual process in reverse.

I made everyone involved life worse.

Oh no my cilantro aversion

Guys it’s a bit, he’s doing a bit. Calm down.

Big tech won’t chip in is my bet. My company maintains its own version of Linux that has some specific certifications. Updating that box requires an act of god. My bet is that the companies that can afford to will create their own “LTS” versions that just get older and older, and more broken and exploited as time goes on…

Sorry, long night at work =/

We use git lab… there might be something equivalent I’ll check out. I really hate testing/building/fixing cicd because of how long it takes to try something out.

A lot of folks are also missing a backbone.

Gene Wolfe: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from traversing complex, labyrinthine narratives and deciphering symbolic, metaphysical riddles we haven’t begun to understand yet.

Arthur C. Clarke: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from encountering benevolent alien intelligence we haven’t discovered yet.

Ray Bradbury: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from rediscovering the beauty of books and humanity’s inherent capacity for empathy in a world we’re rapidly forgetting.

Robert A. Heinlein: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from pioneering individualism, libertarianism, and multi-planetary colonies we haven’t established yet.

William Gibson: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from navigating and subverting the interplay of high technology and low life in a cybernetic reality we’re only beginning to understand.

Ursula K. Le Guin: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from understanding and integrating a spectrum of social, psychological, and cultural perspectives we haven’t fully considered yet.

Neal Stephenson: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from unprecedented technological and social innovation, often resulting from deep historical and philosophical introspection, in a future we’re yet to engineer.

Octavia Butler: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from embracing and adapting to change through the lens of bio-diversity and sociocultural evolution we haven’t fully embraced yet.

God I love learning about analog tech! Very creative design!

You’re getting down voted to hell, but I totally agree. Using someones else’s YT account or using it at work is so jarring because I am used to a 100% ad-free experience. It’s a good value to me, I’m not going to cry about paying $15 a month for a service I literally use multiple hours a day.

Those ads are the point of their business model. They show you ads, and repay you with tokens. You can gift those tokens to content creators or sell them on the market.

Boo nerd

I can’t be the only person that likes spam unironically, right? My wife thinks I’m crazy, but spam and eggs make a fine (enough) breakfast.
