History may not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.

Nextcloud needs to port over some of the old OC Documentation. Their own docs make all kinds of references and it’s always something esoteric.

This really feels like an “I’m done with the Internet for the evening” kinda story.

Speaking of saber rattling, I found this quote mildly amusing:

The flex notably comes amid persistent tensions with Russia, which has been rattling the nuclear saber lately

“lately”? I mean, if you’re saying repetetive nuclear threats for 2 years + since starting a war with Ukraine, then sure?

Not singing loud enough - straight to jail.

Surprisingly, singing too loud? Also straight to jail.

Truly, email is (thankfully) mostly unspoiled as a protocol since it’s beginning. Other than minor improvements and additions like HTML and spam filters and the like, anyone can host an email service and interface with anyone else on the Internet with the same protocol.

Imagine having $700 million, having almost no responsibility, and still being that much of a putz.

Not an excuse… but unironically this is why so many rural States are Red. Lack of opportunity and the only hope is in religion. Addressing very real existential erosion of their livelihoods and economic fears would go a long way toward avoiding a civil war. Which another Trump presidency might just bring about…to the Russian’s joy, having set the wheels in motion decades ago.

The salt-water of life!

Even among my red-state god-fearing right-wing family members, I have never heard a single man say anything approaching this. They all know exactly what he is and don’t care. He has a very public and lengthy history of the opposite, and the NYT knows it.

Huge swaths of companies have ditched VMWare entirely due to their enshitification. Anyone still licesning already has a plan to transion away. I’ve only heard of extreme corner cases staying because whatever it was supporting was end of life anyway. Fuck em.

It also wants to force all editors to reveal their real names.

Not even veiling the threat…

Months?

a sunk cost is a sum paid in the past that is no longer relevant to decisions about the future.

Isn’t that partial autonomy the ONE thing that allows China to have trading status around the world? I suspect that their cheap export power turns many a blind eye, but I’m pretty sure I remember reading that their entry into the world stage for trading partnerships was predicated on Hong Kong NOT becoming China when the UK pulled out.

“We have them with us all the time

“We have lost most of them to time, disrepair and corruption”

constantly in a state of combat readiness

“A few might still work, we’re really not sure”

The WGA and SAG both had very successful strikes in the last year that brought new scripted content to a halt. Unscripted trash tried to fill the gaps, but this came right as all the streaming services are starting to implode themselves with price hikes and content deserts.

The public saw it. It has already inspired others - Starbucks, UAW, Amazon, etc. have all had significant gains. There’s a reason that Trader Joes and Amazon are suing the USGov over the National Labor Relations Board as unconstitutional.

The beautiful thing? Demographics are shifting rapidly - there will be fewer and fewer workers overall in developed countries, and larger and larger aging / retired pools who still have huge demands. And frequently the same politicians who don’t want immigration also don’t want to pay workers what they are worth, so there will be a reckoning…

I’m assuming your post was joking, but the truth is great here and workers of the world should acknowledge the success!

That book? It’s an advertisement…

If it’s under warranty, they almost certainly cannot deny the claim for this or really many bullshit reasons manufacturers say like removing a “warranty void” sticker - which is still covered. You can sue in small claims. Check out the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act should you need to prove your point.
