@pavsmith AI still can't order or rack a server either.

Before leading with the fact you're willing to pay, you'd better be fucking sure you can afford our time.

There is also an attitude here towards labour. It isn't good.

The amount of projects that land in our lap with no lead-time, no funding just astounds me. So, we have no time, and no money to do it, but we must produce $THING. I really do get sick of it. This is the belief IT is like water and gas, it just appears by magic.

Irritates me professionally when we're asked to do big infrastructure projects with practically no lead-time and the PI says "I will pay". This thinking betrays the belief that it is simply a matter of money.

Well it can be a matter of money, but often an order of magnitude more than they are thinking.

Every time.

What a terrible thing. Poor kid.

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use,

has no venture capital investors,

has no shareholders to answer to,

has no growth targets,

with a web interface with zero cookies,

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in.

Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

@SRLevine On the plus side you are now officially trained to harass

I started getting a lot of difficult-to-diagnose sudden slowdowns on my FW13 with Arch + Plasma. I have a suckless playground installed so switched to DWM and X11, and have been tinkering with that all weekend, and it's been absolutely solid, so I guess I'm one of those people now.
