I have ZERO sympathy for companies whose services are affected by this. Because seriously, fuck Amazon.

…and 99,99% of middle managers ‘’‘working’‘’ in tech be like yeaaaaaaaa daddy just cram that shit down my throat like I’m an abused goose!

Reminds me that, at least according to Wikipedia, one of the biggest allies of the ‘Aryan Brotherhood’ US prison gang is none other than… the Mexican mafia.

I always thought not being able to use it’s and its correctly was bad enough…until I saw people confusing those and does in the wild…wtf.

I’d say ‘change banks’.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 2 weeks ago:
No they don’t. There are viable, open source alternatives for 99% of the software/services we use. The fact that people are not aware of it is already like half of the real problem.

I actually fell into that trap.

It’s Monday, but I already know what the ‘best thing I’ve read all week’ is.
- Comment on Bacteria may kill us entirely, but we will never kill bacteria entirely 2 weeks ago:
Hospitals are dangerous for children, the elderly and immuno-compromised patients not because of risk of contagion, but because the bacteria that have survived the aggressive chemicals hospital surfaces are cleaned with are the strongest ones (shamelessly plagiarised from my 8th-grade chemistry teacher).
- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 2 weeks ago:
This, coupled with the fact that firewalls are protocol-agnostic. You can, for instance, use ‘port https’ in your Packet Filter config instead of ‘port 443’, but that simply means that PF will block/pass traffic to whatever service is bound to that particular port, and NOT https connections in general.

No matter how old I get, I still find it weird thinking, even for a nanosecond, that for me to exist my parents and grandparents had to do THAT kind of thing.

- Comment on The absolute WORST 3 weeks ago:
I was once in the plane and I asked the flight attendant to please bring me some water. I wanted to swallow an Omega 3 gel cap. Thinking she wouldn’t be long (I didn’t fly often back then), I put it in my mouth. It was only a couple of minutes, but the flavour of that thing dissolving is still on my top 5 of the most disgusting things I’ve ever tasted.

- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 3 weeks ago:
The fact that I bought all my machines used (and mostly on sale), and that not one of them is general purpose, id est, I bought each piece of hardware with a (more or less) concrete idea of what would be its use case. For example, my machine acting as a file server is way bigger and faster than my desktop, and I have a 20-year-old machine with very modest specs whose only purpose is being a dumb client for all the bigger servers. I develop programs in one machine and surf the internet and watch videos on the other. I have no use case for VMs besides the Logical Domains I setup in one of my SPARC hosts.
- Comment on Education doesn't increase intelligence by making people memorize things, but by constantly reminding people that they might be wrong. 4 weeks ago:
I’d argue that learning to socialise, and the so-called social intelligence that comes with it, is THE killer argument for schools and against homeschooling.

Fuck Paypal AND Thiel.
- Comment on ... 5 weeks ago:
I was watching Farenheit 9/11 the other day. I quickly realised that, with the Orange Maggot’s ominous shadow casting over every other bad president anywhere ever, it has been very easy (for people not living in Iraq and Afghanistan) to forget what a giant, bloody, stinky asshole this ‘man’ was and how much damage he caused.

The only thing I learned worth remembering while working as an intern in a real state firm was the phrase ‘in this business, the only fair deal is when the buyer screams because he paid too much, and the seller cries because he sold too cheap.’
- Comment on There is no good reason why there is still homelessness and poverty 1 month ago:
A quick look at the Wikipedia article The world’s billionaires will reveal that billionaires have an estimated aggregate net worth of 16 trillion. That’s more than 2,000 dollars for every single human being on this planet. Maybe not as individuals, but as a collective, they literally have the possibility of ending world hunger. And that’s only the richest three thousand or so.

I consider keto to be a fad, and it can be dangerous if you have no competent nutritionist to guide you. Buuuuuuuuut…
I met a guy in one of my past office jobs. The guy looks 45, but is 60. Not only that, but he looks way younger than 10 years ago before starting the diet. He eats 20 grams of carbs a day (!) so that’s simply out of the question for me…
