working with foss shit is like

uh when you type the letter e into the search bar the entire thing crashes

"oh weird i didnt notice because i dont type the letter e. i just leave out vowels and it usually works fine."

no you misheard me, i said i work for a twink tank

That “clean your room thing” is hammered in people’s head starting from school really, only those that do well in school are able to criticize it

And the interesting thing is that the people that don’t do well also say this

Sounds a bit familiar, no?

possibly uncomfortable 

@goat@hellsite.site Only works when you have dual brains, so that one serves as a hot spare while you take out the other

@devurandom@cybre.space @Dee Anecdata does appear to confirm this to be true

@f0x Ah yeah, for funding proposals it can get a lot hairier...

@f0x (General rule of thumb is that acquisition - of employees, freelancers, even products - is a process that in and of itself costs money, so as long as you're not being an asshole, people aren't likely to just walk, because they'd be throwing away a sunk cost)

@f0x Well, sort of; if it's 1:1 negotiations, then they've probably already decided that they want to hire you, and so if the ask is too high, they'll negotiate rather than walk away

My GPU (driver?) just hung so hard that after powering it off by holding the power button and starting it again, it got stuck on fan spin and no display output, and even holding the power button didn't turn it off anymore, and I had to use the physical PSU switch to reset it.

The cause: exiting OpenTTD.

Perhaps this whole "computer" thing wasn't such a great idea after all?

@ramonita@kolektiva.social Firefighters are a complicated matter though. In NL, for example, they closely collaborate with the cops; while they don't generally seem to share the cops' authoritarian streak, there's standing policy for *them* to call cops depending on the incident. I'm not sure how they'd deal with a request not to...

The terminology still isn't entirely clear to me - "ecoterrorism" is what the petroleum industry and its lobby do, right?
