I would be devestated! Music is one of the things that make me feel grounded and without it, my life would absolutely be less normal.

🤣 Let me guess, the number is the year the company was established.

This is unfortunately insanely common in a lot of companies. I literally cannot count the number of passwords that I’ve had to update, from a combo of the company name and a four digit number, usually bigger than 2000.

AFAIK, there are many countries that have pizza with ingredients considered unusual outside that country. For example, in Brazil they have chocolate pizza.

My current project has a crontab with 216 entries.

Swedish BankID and most banking apps work on grapheneos and lineageos. The only exception I know of is Revolut that just refuses to work on grapheneos.

Drone debris is no joke. Most likely they don’t destroy them to avoid damage to their infrastructure.

I’ve also disabled the AI autocomplete because of the noise it adds.

TIL the internet doesn’t even know when he’s born.

Cthulhu on keto

Yeah, not for long, I’m quitting this company as soon as I can.

At work we have the following quote on the fridge

“A ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pound of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot — albeit a perfect one — to get an “A”. Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work – and learning from their mistakes — the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.”

We are a software development company and my reply to this was basically that pot making hasn’t changed in a long time, it’s basically shaping and firing clay. Software development is comparatively new and has a vastly more dynamic landscape.

Also, the comparison is stupid because we don’t write code, realize it was shit and write a new one. If we did business like that, we wouldn’t be in business.

Came here to make sure this one was in the comments.

Don’t forget the absurd consumption of electricity, water and computer chips.

Pretty sure it’s gonna be the stake

Noop, you have to install the man-db package

I’ve seen ko-fi and liberapay as alternatives, but I don’t know if they’re good options.

The point about decentralization is absolutely the fediverse, however my shower thought is basically the second point, where the hyped technology known as blockchain really is only something old called linked lists, which basically is an object holding a reference to the next object in a chain (linked list) or a reference to the previous and next objects in the chain (double linked list). This is essentially how webrings worked.

There has been no mention of it in Swedish media either. The shooting of Melissa Hortman and her husband was covered, but nothing about the No kings afaik.
