Just read a post asking Eugen to resign from developing Mastodon and I really have to ask: what are you folks smoking?
It’s his project. It’s open source. Fork it if you want to. But what kind of mind-blowing sense of entitlement drives you to think you can tell someone they should stop working on something they’ve built?
*smh*
"Dear admin, I need root access to execute some programs" lol no you fucking don't you donut
An interesting thing after updating a five yr old server to. a newer OS release: 250mb is no longer enough for /boot. It'll be okay for the initial install, but the second you get an additional kernel update it'll fail.
Just found out my boss died this morning. That's a new and awful experience.

15yrs ago today, end of a hectic week's holiday with my younger sister before heading back to England. I had no idea I'd be in the US permanently just five years later.

This isn't weird at all
Posted this before but it's a great bit of modern piano composition, and I've had some wine so whatever
Dave Chappelle is a genius, I'd read a lot of this sentiment from various print interviews but hadn't heard him actually state it:
I shouldn't bitch about it but it does infuriate me when leaders simply refuse to lead.
So it's back to the office for me in August. I'm a little bit annoyed our director - who has been strikingly indifferent for a few years now - has excused himself and his preferred team from on-prem work.
I decline *one* spam call this morning, since then been bombarded with them. Rotating TN area code numbers. Such a fucking pain.
Considering Safari is supposed to be Apple's preferred browser it really should not be such an unreliable piece of crap.

I would like Samsung a lot more if they were not so hellbent on recreating every facet of the Google suite but somehow doing a worse job.

They made an incredibly complex and ahead-of-its-time OS. Too good for Microsoft to pull off. They weren’t even putting in all of their ideas (the most ambitious but complex ones were left on a sort of wishlist called Blackcomb), but they still wanted to have an OS with the following features ready for 2004:
.NET: A virtual machine in which apps didn’t need to worry about memory or concurrency
WinFS: Semantic filesystem with complex queries to manage everything with
Avalon: An XML-based user interface layer that allowed to dynamically, visually design UIs — even the desktop
Indigo: A network stack that allowed for easy network IPC with XML, allowing to further connect apps beyond WinFS
it was way too much for the Windows team, and eventually, they had to scrap tons of code and reset in August 2004
