Movie Paul behaved exactly like you describe book Paul.
He constantly blames his mother and is afraid of going down because millions (or billions?) will die if he does.

Doesn’t look like it, but you can be the one writing one.

Where is Themen Park™ Manager?
I want to play that again so badly and its not even in GoG (unlike another Theme Park, I didn’t play back then).
- Comment on Strings do too many things 9 months ago:
You are right in that it isn’t (or shouldn’t be) part of the parsing, but the program has to check the blacklist even if it’s in a database.

As a software developer who only has business customers, let me tell you the following:
No matter how foolproof your system might seem. It never truly is. There is always some idiot (sometimes with a degree) who just can’t understand/use it.But they could still try and mostly succeed. They just don’t want to.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish
1. Embrace:
They implement ActivityPub and connect to all the available servers. A load of new users will see the content here and all the communities here will be absolutely flooded with new content and users.
2. Extend:
ActivityPub will be extended. Many new features will be added, that don’t really match the standard, but they are mostly useful so some developers will try to add them to let’s say Lemmy. They won’t be blr to develop new features on their own and some stuff with threads will always be broken or half baked. Threads users will belittle the users here, some will maybe go there, cause it just works and is otherwise the same.
New users at the same time will most likely go directly to threads cause it’s backed by a giant company, always works and has more features.3. Extinguish:
They will cut the federation.
Communities here will feel empty and most users will just leave. Only the hard core will stay and that won’t be sustainable. The fediverse becomes even less attractive for new users and will devolve into a niche community. - Comment on Interviewing my mother, a mainframe COBOL programmer(2016) 11 months ago:
What’s your working environment like?
We’ve recently moved to a more “hip” location. We used to have personal desks, but now we have this “pick whatever spot is avaiable” open area. I dislike it a lot.Lol. Same.
Nice “interview” with funny insights. AS Form SAP-Programmer I see lots of familiarities.

Q: Why didn’t you write this in $NEW_LANGUAGE instead of crufty C++? A: I probably should have! $NEW_LANGUAGE is deservedly attracting a lot of attention for its combination of safety, readable syntax, and support for modern programming paradigms. I’ve been trying out $NEW_LANGUAGE and want to write more code in it. But for this I chose C++ because it’s supported on all platforms, lots of people know how to use it, and it still supports high-level abstractions (unlike C.)
Lol

There is a german youtuber who does a “5 minute Harry Podcast” where she analyzes 5 minutes of the first Harry Potter movie each time and they are mostly half an hour to an hour long.
- Comment on Google Chrome coders really, truly, absolutely ready to cull third-party cookies from 2024 1 year ago:
But that is a lot harder to do and requires more resources.
If you have a tracking pixel now, the company directly knows your browser from you downloading that pixel. If they were to implement the single-backend stuff, the site would have to gather all that information themselves and then send it to all the trackers. But they can’t just send it somewhere, because then everyone could send bogus info to them so you need verification and an api and that is costly and each company would build their own api so you need to buy a program that speaks all those apis… You get the point. It’s a LOT more work than just pasting the text for some pixel somewhere on your site and let the others do the rest.
- Comment on federated logseq 1 year ago:
I don’t use obsidian. I use Joplin. It has nextcloud integration and works flawlessly.
For the rest (e.g. Tasks, Collaborate Office) I use DAVx5 and the nextcloud App to sync.
- Comment on federated logseq 1 year ago:
Doesn’t Nextcloud do all this?
I don’t really know, why it really HAS to be all that. I think that not a lot of people will have those specific set of requirements.
Also I really dislike the section about “solving not wanting to self host by making it federated” that is not how that works. Please host stuff yourself. Please support those who host your stuff. This part makes you sound cheap and stupid.

File access across systems is no problem.
It just has to be a separate partition either in the form of a whole SSD/HDD or as a partition on your main drive. Just make it NTFS (a file system that all those OSes know) it works with both windows and linux. I still have 3 NTFS partitions from my dual-boot days.

No problemo. I usually don’t give a shit about this kind of stuff, but if a single person buys for such a huge sum, I maybe look into it.
- Comment on One year after being bought for $44 billion, X is worth $19 billion 1 year ago:
Well akschually probably about 22/23 billion were cash according to reuters.

But the 44B was payed, so they do/did exist. Now he could have just NOT bought twitter and spent half of this money on the poor et voilà no more homeless for at least 4 years.
- Comment on Tech bros' attitude to female colleagues stuck in dark ages 1 year ago:
Did you read past the first two words of the headline?
It says “attitude towards female colleagues” not “pay for female employees”. And the article reflects that, your comment not that much…

It’s the same with discord.
