Don’t be upset it took people a long time to realize Visual Studio Code is fauxpen source, just be glad they’re finally realizing it. No need to be condescending and make people feel ashamed over it.

I think you mean they shouldn’t write authoritatively about things they don’t understand, because what you said is really gate keepy. There’s nothing wrong with learning.

It’s crazy how much Canonical has trashed their reputation.

Ubuntu in 2009 or so. Booting school computers onto the live DVD felt like hacking. I think around 2016 I installed some spin of Ubuntu on my laptop and used it somewhat regularly. Prior to that it was just random times I felt like using the dual boot function. I mostly used Windows. It took until 2025 for me to switch my desktop to Cachy OS.

Nice. Market is ass right now, but it’s always gonna be better to pour your money into a thirty year hole than a bottomless pit with renting. 💜

Ham radio lol.

I have new expensive hobbies and I’m considering selling things from my old expensive hobbies lmao.

I’ve got one of the SHIFT ones. Unironically DM me if you’re interested in buying it. It isn’t full size, it drops the nav cluster but keeps the numpad and arrows.

You’re kidding me. I’ve gone through so many mechanical keyboards, even really fancy ones like the CTRL and similar ones from Mass Drop and always come back to my WASD. It was my first and favorite. I guess there’s still Leopold.

VRBO. Idk if it’s European.

That’s a smellometer!

Had a similar thing once. Some how, some way, the DBA copied and pasted something wrong. Oracle DB had some odd extra syntax for left and right joins that other DBs didn’t (or at least that I’d never seen). My best guess is that he auto formatted out of habit and maybe it took those symbols out.

It took a long time to find that. Because the only evidence something was wrong was that ONE of our customers wasn’t being billed for ONE product. Everyone else was fine. Basically they were using it in a very atypical way. The left joins made sure to include them in the billing even because they didn’t have whatever was on the right of that join. Everyone else did.

Damn, if only there was some way to certify that.

Certs are free through Let’s Encrypt (and have been for quite some time now, like a decade). Certs makes people peeking at what you’re doing along the route substantially more difficult.

Idk, the only people I know who pay for YouTube premium are a queer couple.

The ads make you gay

The “fediverse” are distributed online social networks using a thing called activity pub. Because they all speak the same protocol they can interact with each other. This is why Mastodon and Lemmy can talk to each other.

BlueSky uses something called AT. AT proto has three things to it where . The pds (I think it’s called) is where you can choose to store your data. Relays aggregate those. Then you have to have a way to view it. In activity pub the first two layers are the same thing and we typically call them “instances”. Running your own relay for AT is wildly expensive and to my knowledge nobody is doing it because of that. Not enough people use their own pds to store data to even really make it worthwhile. The vast majority of BlueSky users are actually using BlueSky itself. Even if you consider the fediverse to be things doing federation, BlueSky isn’t really as federated as they lead you to believe.

Hi, I’m Nicole, but you can call me the fediverse chick!

Ugh, look, I get it. I know TJ’s Lesser Action Rune of Changed Files that the Greater version does now, but TJ’s price structure is bullshit and I’m not paying for Greater just because he refuses to “support” us users of Lesser. I don’t even have a damn Portal, much less a Summoning Circle! Why are you so worried about a backdoor to the hells? Unless I connect this sigil to the weave nothing is going to come in or out. This sigil is only for monitoring the moisture content of my garden by way of a spell scroll attached. As we both know, scrolls and sigils use two different elements to communicate. One is gold ink and the other is silver ink. I have to use TJ’s Action Rune of Changed Files to see if the document has changed due to moisture. The scroll cannot directly talk to my watering golem’s receiving crystal.

Omfg I read all of this for far to long thinking you meant casting spells with a lithp lisp. Like you might cast similarly named spells randomly. “Must be Skyrim, cool. Click! Minecraft doesn’t have spells, what?”
