  Arguing about Google Docs will prepare them for the corporate world

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Free Tool Says it Can Bypass Discord's Age Verification Check With a 3D Model⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing that taught me more about computers than trying to get porn is trying to pirate software.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tick tock tick tock⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  lol 5pm

  Been working till seven the last two weeks.

  Granted, it’s been largely pantsless but it’s still grueling.

  Even with spinning disks all that extra write traffic isn’t exactly great.

  Plus scrubbing floppies takes forever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why ‘deleted’ doesn’t mean gone: How police recovered Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell footage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even local files still “exist” when you delete them. Usually the filesystem just marks those blocks as reusable since overwriting the data would take a lot longer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is ironing clothes significantly less common now?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s great except I have been told by my boss and my boss’s boss that me looking like a shlub gives me more technical credibility.

  I’m not old you’re old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is ironing clothes significantly less common now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My dad wore a shirt and tie to work.

  I wear pajama pants and a t shirt. And sometimes just the shirt.

  So I iron a lot less.

  It’s weird that the server has a .dockerignore file without a Dockerfile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’d probably implement it very poorly, like the AI “image enhancement” that makes things look worse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I just assume no one is interested in me ever, no matter how nice they are to me. I also go out of my way to avoid contact with humans in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My feelings on the Super Bowl⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It has a massive impact on productivity. Something like 25 million people are calling in sick today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My feelings on the Super Bowl⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  turn some wild animals loose

  Best we can do is Puppy Bowl

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My feelings on the Super Bowl⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If Canadian food companies were smart they’d put a big hockey game on the same night as the Super Bowl

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’ll work for individual users, but getting all that chat history out will be a problem for the owners once the users dry up.

  And I’m sure Discord will do their best to make it impossible.

  Serves them right for picking chat software in the first place, let alone one they don’t control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  One problem will be that there are way too goddamn many software projects that use Discord as a shitty replacement for a blog and documentation, and they’re gonna be a pain to move to proper content platforms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My feelings on the Super Bowl⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, and the commercials were actually things you’d only see once, with huge production values.

  Really ties an onion to your belt, doesn’t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My feelings on the Super Bowl⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I never cared for it, but it felt like such an event that I’ve been to a lot of superb parties over the years. But now I barely knew it was happening.

  Same goes for the Olympics. I remember watching it for hours and hours back in the day, but I didn’t even know it was happening until I heard Vance got booed.

  Culture is shattering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People don't really know their own motivation for their actions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Humans are very good at justifying their actions after the fact. There’s a lot of research about this, especially when our right brain does things our left brain doesn’t know about.

  lol, no, but thanks

  I was commenting that even Disney has to deal with arbitrary paywalls

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney+ loses Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and 3D amid patent dispute⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s paywalls all the way down

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Objective: Convince an astronaut to use the Fediverse from space⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the demographics I’d be really surprised if we didn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unsealed Court Documents Show Teen Addiction Was Big Tech's "Top Priority"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the same model as religion and cigarettes: Get ‘em hooked young and you have a customer for as long as they live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC Fast-Tracks SpaceX's Plan for 1M Satellites. And It Wants Your Thoughts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When I said take me to the moon I never meant take me alone

  I thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could go

  But I don’t want to see the stars if they’re just one more piece of land

  For us to colonize, for us to turn to sand

  I never thought I’d see the phrase “orbital data centers” and not think it’s cool, but here we are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve done that before when I’m in a hurry, but this was actually people waiting for that initial left turn.

  Also this was back before smart phones, so things may have changed. Culture evolves.
