Except I do want to know. I don’t just want the platitudes of a fake greeting.

At this point, I seriously question what would cause Americans to riot.

For the Americans, this comes up to about $8.34/gallon.

My hate of SystemD is further justified! And you all just called me gray haired and not willing to update with the times!
- Comment on Microsoft May Remove Windows 11 Online Login Requirement 3 days ago:
That method right there is why I never understood all the people bemoaning they they removed registry entries, needed shift-f10 and stuff like that.
Business -> Domain Join -> Create a local account. Done. And it works in current releases too as I just did it with an iso downloaded from Microsoft two weeks ago.
- Comment on its actually worse bc ports are counted twice for 2.0 & 3.0 3 days ago:
Huh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a controller with more than 15 ports anyway. Usually looking through the device manager (or lspci) there are multiple USB controllers on a motherboard (mine has 4 for example) so theoretically you could do 60 ports. Also what can do you about chaining to hubs? Since technically the spec lets to chain up to 127 devices.
But the bigger question is, what in the world are you doing that’s requiring 15 ports.

Hands down the Sovereign class for me too. First time seeing it in First Contact on the big screen was so damn amazing.

Is that the inverse of shitting dick nipples?
- Comment on Is there a reason that all elected (not appointed) officials shouldn't be subject to a recall vote? 1 week ago:
Good points. A few thoughts in the interest of discourse.
Because that what terms are for…
But even cars and other things have lemon laws, and bait and switch is illegal. Term shouldn’t be the be all, end all
Elections cost taxpayer money
Valid point there, which is why I was suggesting that there should be a higher barrier to it occurring, not the same level as a vote. Basically it has to be egregious
Changing leadership interrupts things…
Don’t agree with this one. This is the same argument that has kept senators in congress for decades with no term limits. Representative democracy was supposed to be rotational in spirit. Career politicians are an oxymoron. Also the new guy being worse is a bit of a “whataboutism”. A higher barrier to recall would help the constant switching.
… brain damage makes people conservative.
Truth.

Why? If you’re at a business conference the understanding is that you’re networking with people in your field and you may not be able to remember everything about everyone. Why not be armed with information to help drive conversations and interactions.

That last goomba really did a number on him.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 1 week ago:
I’ve always been of the opinion that AR glasses could actually be really cool if done right. Imagine being at a conference or mixer and seeing a persons name and part of their LinkedIn pop up next to them, or be at a sporting event and have stats pop up for the specific player, or your own personal instant replay. Or being at an art museum and have history of the art and artist pop up.
But instead, we get it for seritipitous surveillance and feeding the AI slop machine…
- Comment on Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway. 1 week ago:
“Private cloud” has always been a synonym for “on-premise”. I’ve managed Datacenter infrastructure for decades and always referred to it to on-premise before private cloud even became a term. It basically is referring to Datacenter space you own or rent vs another company’s servers and DCs.
Hell, I’ve worked in companies where they had Datacenter space in the same building as their office (and not small either, one was 32 racks, another was almost 200). So that very much was “on-premise”
- Comment on Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway. 1 week ago:
I see the approach of Outposts, just don’t know if I agree with it. Part of the point is it lets you have a dedicated, isolated, on-premise platform **without ** the need to train existing engineers/admins on a secondary technology like Nutanix, ProxMox, etc.
So your calculus should include the cost to rent vs dedicated head count (and let me tell you, companies fucking hate headcount).
Now all that being said, I have yet to see a situation where it really is more cost effective, especially due to the things you mentioned.

- Comment on Makes you think 🤔 🦵☕️ 2 weeks ago:
Bad phrasing. But that the spread boobs looks ugly or tacky. Not that the person is ugly.
- Comment on Makes you think 🤔 🦵☕️ 2 weeks ago:
I’ve heard a couple girls say the one on the right is ugly. I have yet to see a guy say the same. My SO was one of them and could not understand why I still liked it and thought it looked good.

That’s definitely not a problem of Jira. You’re hating the product, when most likely your ire would be drawn to any application you were using for such a fucked up process.
- Comment on ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push 2 weeks ago:
What would you use instead?
- Comment on ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push 2 weeks ago:
So then how would you document changes, work, etc. as is required by SOC2, PCI, SARBOX and other auditing frameworks that businesses require?
- Comment on Layoffs and the threat of AI: Why Irish tech workers are finally turning to unions 2 weeks ago:
How high of a level though and where at? pushing upper level, near executive.
- Comment on Layoffs and the threat of AI: Why Irish tech workers are finally turning to unions 2 weeks ago:
Not really. I became a manager to help make things better for the front line workers. Problem is there is only so much within my sphere of control until I get up high enough. More than once I’ve been scolded for siding with the workers but that hasn’t changed who I am.
