i do believe there is something spiritually wrong with air conditioning

Oh, fuck you, lady. You can always tell when dumbasses live somewhere that never gets all that hot or humid. And where it cools down at night.
Put her in Florida or Texas or Southern California and she’d be begging for AC. I hate those clowns so much.
Why do people who aren’t funny and don’t make jokes get offended when it’s observed by others that they aren’t funny? Like, they aren’t even trying to be funny so why do they care?
It’d be like me getting offended if someone tells me I’ve never climbed Everest. I’ve never even tried or wanted to make the attempt. Why would that bug me?
Never forget that I wrote about how everyone on Bluesky was too earnest and nobody was funny and I got added to a bunch of Nazi block lists https://t.co/Nx5mcDIPe8

Bluesky is full of the dourest collection of spoilsport sourpusses I’ve ever seen. In its own way, that makes it sort of funny. Because you can’t tell if they’re doing some kind of bit. Then you realize they’re probably not…but it’s all so absurd maybe they are?
Anyway, they’re very Mrs. Grundy 24/7.
Men underestimate the undertone of violence that you can do little about that women often experience, while women grossly underestimate the psychological toll that constant rejection and complete invisibility takes on men.
Most people — man or woman — have little to no empathy, really.
It’s odd to see the left swing from copyright minimalists to copyright maximalists so quickly as AI came to the fore.
Does no one have any actual principles? It appears not. Most people are too contingent for me.
I hate troubleshooting with other people. It’s so slow. And they do so much wrong stuff. It’s so painful and so very plodding.
Just get out of my way and let the gorilla do gorilla stuff.
Welcome to the age of paranoia as deepfakes and scams abound.
Laughably, all of the know-nothing Reddit doofs still claim this is “impossible” even though my company nearly hired someone who did AI deepfaking. It very much is possible and is not even difficult anymore for that matter.
How Republicans became America’s ‘de-growth’ party.
No matter which party is de-growth — dipshit leftists or clownish MAGA dumbasses — I despise them. They will do nothing but harm everyone.
As can be seen right now.
Would you still be with whoever you’re dating if you found out you’re 58th cousins?
Every human alive is 58th cousins. Every single one. This is a question full of infinite dumbassery.
Also, as most of you reading this are not familiar, at the true enterprise level hardware support simply cannot be that shoddy as what Synology is offering. Since that higher tier is what they are attempting to move to, having a drive show up “lol, whenever” is simply not any sort of acceptable answer.
I worked at a hosting provider a while ago. We had very large HP 3PAR SANs (60+ drives in each). When a drive failed in those we often had a replacement in two hours. Yep, two hours. Someone from HP literally drove from the distribution center with the drive or drives, showed up at our datacenter, put the drive in and verified it worked. We were by contract guaranteed a new drive within four hours but almost always received it much sooner. And we paid dearly for that, by the way.
Until Synology can offer something close to that, they ain’t enterprise shit. They’re just playing pretend; hoping to capture the margin but not providing what’s required by the true enterprise market.
Yet another example of fucking moronic worthless clownery. Our enemies really are in charge now.
We probably should have immigrated elsewhere.
Store shelves will start being empty in 3-5 weeks, depending on how much hoarding there is when people realize what’s happening.
Luckily most food that Americans consume is grown and packed in the US, so food shortages won’t be particularly bad. But everything else…well, that all comes from China. And it ain’t comin’ no more.
We’ve already prepped and are ready. Hope you all did too.
This is getting more and more common. I already refuse to do any free work for interviews, but in the future I will certainly accept the request and then deliver something that looks innocuous but is actively dangerous to deploy to production or to use in any way.
Good luck holding me accountable for that. I don’t even work there!
These companies deserve what they get. And I’m willing to give it to them for free, good and hard. Heh.
The private sector isn’t efficient. It’s just better at marketing the illusion.
Dead on. The efficiency of private sector companies is a libertarian fucking myth. I was in the army for five years and yeah there were inefficiencies (mostly foisted on us by others), but we did far more with far less than any private sector company I worked for after that.
And that’s pretty typical. There’s just so, so much waste, corruption, graft and utter clownishness in private sector corps. It’s absurd to think most of them are at all efficient. It is simply false.
If I see one more clown refer to a switch as an “Ethernet splitter,” I’m gonna have to go ape up in here.
A switch does not “split” anything. That is fundamentally not how it works. At all, at all.
There is a thing that is an actual Ethernet splitter that you should never probably use. And this is it.
In tech correct terminology is paramount because you often get exactly what you ask for. Ask for something stupid, you’ll get it. GIGO.
