I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.
- Comment on Why do all night show hosts sit and have their desk to the left of the interviewee? 1 week ago:
Maybe for the same reason they have (or had) microphones on their desk: The shows started out just filming a radio program
- Comment on Lentils; Which, why in what? 1 week ago:
Ham hocks in green lentil soup is one of the best soups ever.

It’s fun to watch people self-diagnose food allergies.
- Comment on Why So Many Control Rooms Were Seafoam Green 1 week ago:
Which is fun, because 8080 was a classic Intel processor.

God is seafoam
- Comment on Why So Many Control Rooms Were Seafoam Green 1 week ago:
I wonder if this is similar to Disney’s “Go away” green
- Comment on Why So Many Control Rooms Were Seafoam Green 1 week ago:
I wonder if this is why XP had that grassy field background. Mix the blue sky and green grass together and it’s just about the same seafoam color.

Gotta say the new horny Lemmy is fun

I guess if you’re okay with getting caught
- Comment on We really need a modern day Robin Hood hacker type 1 week ago:
Another data theft, which is not what people envision when they think “Robin Hood.”
They’re picturing a Mr. Robot-like restructuring of the financial system, or even just eliminating debt like was proposed in Sneakers, or even just moving money around like that one episode of SeaQuest with Tim Russ.
And to do that you need a lot of people to get code anywhere near production, and everything is audited, and the timelines are measured in quarters.
- Comment on We really need a modern day Robin Hood hacker type 1 week ago:
Downloading a bunch of data from educational systems is significantly easier than getting exploits into banks and financial systems, which is what I assumed a Robin Hood hacker would be doing.
- Comment on We really need a modern day Robin Hood hacker type 1 week ago:
Okay so now you’re in one system in one company. And that person still needs approval and a four hour zoom call to push anything into a position where it can make a difference.
I know, I’ve been on dozens of calls like that.
And even then you’ve pwned one of about a dozen companies.
- Comment on We really need a modern day Robin Hood hacker type 1 week ago:
Having worked with highly regulated industries like banking, health care, and others that a “Robin Hood” hacker would target I can say that it’s not feasible.
Do you know how many days of Zoom meetings they’d have to be on to compromise just one system?

- Comment on A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth 1 week ago:
If all we pick up out of the ocean is flotsam from the marina we’ll get the wrong idea about what’s in the ocean.
- Comment on William Shatner And ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Actors React To News Of Series Ending 1 week ago:
So if it had been popular would it have continued? Serious question, because it sounds like they weren’t going to continue SFA after season 2 in the first place.
- Comment on hey there, hot stuff 1 week ago:
The purpose of generating hot stuff is to reproduce.
- Comment on William Shatner And ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Actors React To News Of Series Ending 1 week ago:
Okay. Still doesn’t explain why they’d announce this now.
- Comment on William Shatner And ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Actors React To News Of Series Ending 1 week ago:
The fact that this is happening now and not at the end of season 2 implies studio shenaniganary and not listening to some dumb chuds.
Why would they sabotage viewership for season 2 instead of canceling it outright? Or at a minimum just dump the rest of it now?
My gut says it’s virtue signaling by management to the Ellison who’s gonna run the place in the not too distant future. Canceling the “woke” trek sounds like something sufficiently sycophantic for a Hollywood exec.
The worst part is now the chuds are taking a victory lap.

That’s among the cleaner public park bathrooms I’ve seen

- Comment on HP realizes that mandatory 15-minute support call wait times isn’t good support 1 week ago:
Oh, totally. Having a KB full of ready made answers reduced response times and increased customer satistfaction
- Comment on More Subnautica 2 legal trouble brewing amid claims Krafton "intentionally leaked" May release without consulting reinstated CEO 2 weeks ago:
They did release a lot of content previews right before the legal decision.
- Comment on HP realizes that mandatory 15-minute support call wait times isn’t good support 2 weeks ago:
The only time the KB really saved was being able to send them a link to the docs that they should have been able to find instead of retyping the response.
All of the answers were right there and they didn’t see it. And no matter how many articles we added the volume of tickets resolved on the first reply with a KB article didn’t go down. (I know because I tracked this as a KPI for a while until it became obvious it wasn’t budging.)
- Comment on HP realizes that mandatory 15-minute support call wait times isn’t good support 2 weeks ago:
Thankfully we didn’t take phone calls. And I knew they weren’t reading the KB because we’d reply with a link tot be KB and they’d be happy.
- Comment on HP realizes that mandatory 15-minute support call wait times isn’t good support 2 weeks ago:
Having run a couple support team, I get where they’re coming from with the wait time.
Every minute my team wasn’t spending helping customers was spent updating the knowledge base. We invested a ton of effort into it, and 90% of the tickets were answerable in the first interaction with a simple search.
But getting people to actually read the docs was impossible. And maybe if we made them wait they’d get frustrated
But that’s not very nice to your customers or the agents.
- Comment on Star Trek: Legacy Series Fans Want Most Is “Never Gonna Happen,” Says TNG’s Marina Sirtis 2 weeks ago:
Not him specifically but that management pattern broadly over the entertainment industry. There’s The Showrunner and they’re supposed to control multiple films and series. I bet it’s exhausting and that’s why later stuff just isn’t as good.
By giving more people more freedom we’ll get more stories from more perspectives with different takes, instead of a corporate monoculture.
This is a pattern that happens every time control is decentralized, across social groups, so I’m pretty sure it’ll work.
