My biggest gripe is that if I try to post anything over 15 seconds it errors out every time. 15 seconds is juts not enough time to capture the silliness of the morning feeding time here, but I post anyway.

We have gotten out to the forest. Even built a pretty comfy little life here. But I know for sure that I will die of starvation here when the last potato runs out.
I am ok with this. Hopefully 20+ years away… But still.

Hear hear!
Everyone is like “Move out of the city, live a life closer to nature” but also “If you use the only service that truly enables that you suck!”
I’ll take what I can get until something as good or better comes along.

I’ll put up the usual - You don’t know my needs. Don’t yuck my yum. My truck is necessary.
You buy performance cars. I have a big stupid truck and blow every cent on motorcycles that will never see plates or insurance. We can be friends maybe.

Not that I believe this is real in any way. But there are ten chairs at that table. His interview could be like those predatory knife MLMs where they pack the room full of idiots to find the one apex idiot.
Schedule:
Ten at a time. Ten minutes each.
Even if you space them out to the top of the hour you have time for a long lunch where you can commend yourself about being a drain on your species while staring at yourself in the bathroom mirror of a cracker barrel where you are scoping out some poor underage girl to molest verbally.
Wait… What were we talking about?

I can sit on ice cream and tell you the flavour.

Of course I do. That empathy need not stretch into the loss of a fucking chip. And in front of children no less…

Yup. We have had two sets of ratties live with us. After the second set died a few days apart I swore off any more. When their needs are met they are loving, and care for each other, and us, without reward.

His day was ruined by his own actions, not the loss of a chip. Are you fucking dense?

Not vegan, vegetarian, or even uncommonly attached to animals. But you are a disgusting person. Rats are great. Rats with wings are pretty cool too. Killing stuff that inconveniences you is psychotic behaviour. Simple as.

To each their own. But I have had rat friends who were more trustworthy than many humans.

- Comment on Friendica's marketing is terrible. 1 month ago:
The growth mindset that is intrinsic in questions and comments like this is counterproductive to the goals of the fediverse in my opinion.
The goal of federated services is not to be the biggest anything in the world. But instead to give places for people who actually care about the quality of The contents they interact with and that it was created by humans.
If that means that this part of the grand scheme of media stays small… So be it.

Wow, that is true. As someone who literally lived on the border for my formative years, this is not clear-cut across the country.
In my case, it is a concrete marker in the middle of the forest.

- Comment on Canadian Wildfires signal major L over the United States 2 months ago:
My favorite part about all these news pieces is how it’s always mentioned that Canadian wildfires are smoking over the US.
But then the article shares a picture showing hundreds of fires both North and South of the border. Because fire doesn’t give a fuck about your imaginary lines in the dirt…
But somehow the media has to externalize the problem and make it Canadian forests fault that your sky is Smokey and orange.
- Comment on Ansible Playbook - How do I reverse engineer a running system? 2 months ago:
Fair enough. I honestly didn’t mean this as an insult. I have seen the same type of review from people who join teams that I’m on when they get told about ansible.
It certainly isn’t perfect. And there was a period of time about 5 years ago where a lot of change was happening at once.
Thanks for sharing your opinion
- Comment on Ansible Playbook - How do I reverse engineer a running system? 2 months ago:
Same question. But with 100s of playbooks, and thousands of servers. This feels like someone had a bad experience with their first 30 minutes of ansible and gave up before looking at the command reference.

I would bet we have a lot of the exact same thoughts on why this happens, and probably how to solve it. My only disagreement - and it is not a strong one - is the impossibility of forgiveness.
If they mature and leave, or even better, commit to being a monkey wrench for a bit before leaving… I think I can find space for them in my community.
- Comment on Palantir Started By Spying on a City Now Sells AI for War 2 months ago:
I haven’t either. But I can see how a young person without a lot of knowledge of the world and the impending weight of 50 years of work ahead of them, possibly with a family to feed, or an extended family to take care of due to the inherently predatory healthcare system where they were born, might make that choice. And I understand it, regardless of “forgiveness”.
- Comment on Palantir Started By Spying on a City Now Sells AI for War 2 months ago:
I am not sure I get what this word soup is saying. No offense intended buy maybe try re-wording this if you want to discuss.
PS: foundry is not an AI platform, the engineers I am talking about are usually 20-ish year old java and python devs, and it is easier to understand how someone in that group might not even know how evil evilcorp is.
- Comment on Palantir Started By Spying on a City Now Sells AI for War 2 months ago:
Devil’s Advocate (damn near literally this time around)
Try being a young engineer at the top of your game and saying no to an offer where the yearly salary makes google engineers jealous. Not everyone can say no.
Palantir offers like 400k/year to run-of-the-mill forward deployed engineers for foundry (Civilian platform) where the job is 99% actually helping customers with interesting engineering problems.
I can’t even imagine what they are offering folks working on gotham(govt military) side.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that while a ton of those engineers are soulless sociopaths, some of them just took a job that pays super well and don’t align with the goals of the C-levels. And in fact - a ton won’t even know what those goals are.
Remember - Our enemy is the c-suite, not the level 1 support agent. Even at evilcorp. Thankfully I am in a position where my kids are grown up and the money treadmill isn’t set on hardmode for me anymore. I can say no. But even for me it is sometimes difficult.
