I’d made it so long without hearing that song until it popped up in Umbrella Academy. Streak ruined.

Not who you’re replying too (and not vegetarian/vegan) but I’ve always said that people who eat meat should have to kill and butcher an animal at least once so they learn where it comes from and how it gets into those tidy shrink wrapped packages in their grocery store.

It’s not pleasant and too many people don’t understand it.

But, I grew up quite poor where hunting often determined if we were eating so I have a different experience than many. I’m still a big softie though and, while I will do it, I definitely don’t like it.

Yeah, I still get spam/scam from back in the day when your phone number, address, and email were all public in the whois and it was regularly scraped for targets.

I tell everyone to do the privacy guard/redaction.

Generally speaking, programmers like to program (many do it just for fun), and many dislike review. AI removes the programming from the equation in favour of review.

This really resonated with me and is an excellent point. I’m going to have to remember that one.

Damn, beat me to it.

I can also recommend this service.

Ooo, I’ll have to check this out. Thank you

Slashnet still exists and it’s fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.

When it gets bad enough that I have to ; )

Though we have been on a kick lately of washing dishes immediately after supper and not letting them pile up.

Ah, delete the windows partition. That should keep me safe.

There was a big headline recently about a tech company accidentally hiring a North Korean “hacker” (I’m just going off the headline) so that might be fresh in memory with regards to your laptop farm reference.

You just have me a flashback to a game named Nocturne from the late 90s. I didn’t remember anything about it, but I recall enjoying it.

I haven’t thought of that in at least 20 years.

I haven’t read the manual but I don’t think you’re supposed to cook your glasses.

My Cloud9 ErgoFS has dedicated keys for that. But, my fingers have known Ctrl+c/v for my entire life, plus they’re more easily reachable, so I still do that.

My only problem is Linux at home and Mac at work with the same keyboard so I tend to accidentally hit super+c in Linux because that’s the cmd key on Mac

I bought a topo map a few weeks ago for a backpacking trip. Electronics are heavier and less suitable for that purpose in my opinion.

Currently migrating a massive monolithic Java application to microservices… The circle of life continues.

Want to just swap jobs in ~5 years to keep the cycle going? You can migrate this project back to a Java monolith and I’ll migrate your monolith back to micros :D

"Minecraft is proof that banning child labor was wrong. The children yearn for the mines "

I like to call myself a codemonkey

Do you work with me? I’m in the US south and my EU colleagues love “y’all” and have started using it (ironically or not :) pretty often.

Warms my heart.

Next you’ll start seeing your nose

(Sorry)

Yep, that’s why I made sure to include that “we all know how fun BIOS RAID is” bit.

It was fine with the previous 2TB RAID1, but that doesn’t mean anything.
