Still not a word.
- Comment on Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees 2 days ago:
Just to be clear, this is the same Dell who fucked up and leaked a bunch of personal info.
… the number-one cause of which is usually missed patching, which is caused by people just.not.caring.
I can see this going very well for them.

Split the vote and lose the country. You need to be okay with this.

The people who hand this election to Trump will do so at the polling booth.
- Comment on As Israel Begins “Final Phase” of Genocide, Biden Slams Pro-Palestine Protests 4 days ago:
A vote for third-party looks like a vote for anti-vax alien conspiracies, but is really a vote for Trump. Take a bow: you sure showed them.

That was intentional, I’ll bet.
- Comment on Amazon Customer Service has become awful 4 days ago:
But will it show up?
In the last 30 days we’re 50-50 that something will even arrive – at the local drop point, at the secure package receipt on the ground floor, at the local post office; 50-50 across the board.
I threw a RAID disk but prime said “4 days” so I bit. 2 weeks later it’s still in the wind but “out for delivery”. By then I bought one local, but got COVID on the way home from the shops. I’ve almost recovered.

OnStar never knows where you are. It only knows where YOUR CAR is.
Think about it and decide whether your car’s privacy is worth the cost.

Brilliant.

Nope. I’ve heard Jeff Buckley’s version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah and Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt.
One of those is the best, but I can’t pick. They both are so moving - as mere covers! - that the odds are low of anything better coming out.
And then Farrel’s Happy, so yeah.
- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 5 days ago:
No no. He was laughing on the way to hard, which is obviously a city, maybe a home-town, with no schooling system. #noChildLeftBehind

You mean ‘Benefit from’, here, right?
- Comment on The Garden of Eden was based on The Galápagos Islands. 1 week ago:
One of the most heavily edited books based on old Sumerian fables just happens to base itself around what was ancient Sumer.
Wow.
- Comment on The Garden of Eden was based on The Galápagos Islands. 1 week ago:
I just think it’d be funny to imagine that the legendary first home of humanity was somewhere in southern Iraq or Kuwait
No one tell this guy about 6th grade geography.
- Comment on 1st Americans came over in 4 different waves from Siberia, linguist argues 1 week ago:
Nonsense. If one group of early migrants can be shown as clear ancestors of a current aboriginal group, their claim to everything will be iron-clad.

they want, it is
Yes, but, like comma splices, we get to judge them.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
The backlash is generally against all enshitification.
Or, as we call it, the principle of the thing.
If people are thinking “I don’t care, I got mine”, they need to learn why that elitism is wrong.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
do we need an Enshittification@lemmy.world group to crosspost to?
- Comment on All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week 1 week ago:
I’ve really been thinking about that.
-
what kind of lineup do you get?
-
reception: clear? (And, only generally, tell me about your environment and population density? Eg ‘wooded rural, hilly, just me and bigfoot’)
-
outages?
-
is it easy to find what’s on? Is it accurate?
-
commercials, right? Good ones?
Any responses - Rufus or anyone else - appreciated.

- Comment on Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’ 1 week ago:
the two big tech companies that showed people how “fun” an office could be. They’re now relegated to normal companies…and their output over the last few years show a set of companies with few stand-out winners
- Stop making work engaging
- The geniuses act less engaged and leave or get salty (the Dead Sea Effect)
- “Why would millennials do this to us?”
Seems Google forgot what made it great.
But it’s correctable:
- let the smart people be smart
- hire and organize worker bees around the hard work of maintenance and code evolution that isn’t SRE
- don’t give up on slow starts (ohai Wave)
- run the old folks home for beloved projects that are just PR wins to keep people happy (ohai gReader, Picasa, and a cast of thousands)
Worker-bees don’t need to save the world every quarter. They also don’t earn the big bucks, but form the ecosystem to retain culture amid superstar churn.
Build a functional company again. And fire the people thinking quarter by quarter.

MFW I get downvotes for repeating what used to be considered Enterprise support before the dotcom bust. Sorry to be the voice of the past.
- Comment on Post your Servernames! 1 week ago:
The gist of rfc1178 is
- don’t name them incomprehensible shit
- don’t name them indistinguishable shit
- don’t name them unpronounceable shit
- don’t name them after their ephemeral purpose (less an issue now since it’s one service per cattle member)
I worked at a shop where it was all ussfllb02 (a Linux load balancer in San Fran) and ukloesto12 (an emc array in London) and that’s how they went all over the globe for like 15 DCs.
But then it got hard to keep the numbers straight, and we’d patch boxb10 instead of 01 or something, and the very real issue where humans can’t keep abstract glyphs in their head for too long became a problem.
I’ll do RedTruck and GreenBoat every time.

A little racism, a little confirmation bias, and here you’re wondering something about old wipepo.
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 2 weeks ago:
When I needed them, Crucial bent over backwards for a single sale.
I’ve given them 100% of my business since for any solid-state stuff.
I’m just one internet dood but please include them in your list of candidates. They have several tiers of speed and resilience, and I’d love to see them get more business.
