Right? Minute 55-60 is the 15th minute. Fuck that. If it takes that long then the team is too big for agile or the scrum master had lost control.

You’re right. The other side of that is I did a little contract work for a company that is working on software for unmanned commercial flights.

Those guys actually made me feel better. They were all super smart, meticulous, and incredibly good at their jobs. It was the first environment I’ve ever been in where I felt like I could just barely keep up. I always felt one commit away from fucking things up. So I moseyed on down the road as soon as the thing I was contracted for was finished.

It was such a cool job and they offered me a permanent place. I just couldn’t feel behind every single day for the rest of my career until my system destroyed people’s lives.

I worked at an MSP for years and had clients who would send it back and forth that way to each other. The most common were medical practices, but banking wasn’t far behind.

Fax was considered secure because you could lock up the fax machine physically.

My favorite setup was a medical practice that dealt with stomach issues, including colon cancer, and their neighbor in the same building who was a pathology lab. They both had the PDF to fax and fax to PDF servers set up to send back and forth when someone could just walk 50 feet and hand over paperwork.

Yep. Toxic masculinity wants us to work ourselves to death without complaining to anyone. So our mental health is in the fucking toilet. If you’re not working enough, you’re not providing and you’re not a real man. If you do work enough but show any emotion that’s not a “manly” emotion (anything involving tears outside of a funeral or during Old Yeller or anything that’s too excited) then you’re not a real man.

I could write a whole dissertation on how young men get sucked into that whole toxic ideology due to the promises of being able to have a family and a house. And it’s all a fucking lie.

I don’t know if you’re right or if you’re trying to sell me something, but you sound knowledgeable so I’m in. Where do I send my cash?

Yeah, but I need to know what the one after AI is going to be so I can get in on the ground floor.

Is that the MMO where they read Ready Player One and said “Yep, I’m ready to build a mesh peer-to-peer MMO because that means there will be no discernable lag for an infinite number of people, just like in the book”?

I’m considering stealing your comment and selling it to the highest bidder. How much ether do you think it would take to knock you out?

It’s just Shatner, isn’t it? Except even he doesn’t really speak it even though he was in a movie that was entirely Esperanto.

It’s not terrible now, but it’s still not where you’d want it to be. I installed Fedora KDE spin on a surface pro 7 early this year and didn’t lose as much battery as you. Palm rejection is not where it should be but is better than it was 5 years ago with a few tweaks.

I’m not a big tinkerer anymore so someone with time and energy could probably do a better job with it. I think my personal biggest problem is that I did it on an external drive just to test it out and lost interest. I never use the damn thing anyway, Linux or not. I just don’t touch a computer outside of work except for my phone and some mini PCs I’ve set up as gaming consoles.

Yep. I have one registered for professional email. I don’t host anything else.

Came here to say this. I’ve worked on systems for a restaurant on the beach and it was corroded as hell. We had the wireless access points in cheap “weatherproof” boxes and they got corroded. We replaced them once a year or so because it was so bad.

Oh definitely! I just meant in this particular case.

The only person who should care about anything other than the quality is Randall. However since he licensed it CC BY-NC 2.5 how he feels about it doesn’t really matter either.

Not even this super secret messages I’m sending you?

Best I can do is bad AI art and music to take away the hobbies of a lot of people and to stop paying people who do that for a living.

The only legitimate child of notorious poet philanderer Lord Byron. I love her whole story.

Change password every day, and the required password length and complexity increases each time you change your password.

Are there still places you can buy those that you wouldn’t be on camera and immediately trackable?

I’m not shitting on the idea, I’m just trying to make it as good as possible.
