That's what I'm looking forward to.

That's right! It was all Darl's fault - it's important that people remember that.

Who is surprised that Stallman got in "Of course GNU has a better methodology" ?

Now they just need to do all the Nazi accounts next.

Of how Windows ME had a "super secret hidden partition that only the OS could write to" until the malware makers (quickly) figured out how to stuff things in there. But the AV makers weren't allowed to go in there to clean it up...

It was some white American anti-vaxxer who brought it there.

Probably named Karen.

Because it takes less people, overall, to turn off AC posting, than it does to review and vet comments.

It's purely a money and time decision.

At least in part.

I've written some of my better code while listening to music.

I mean, sure, some of the variable names end up being whatever act I'm listening to, but as long as I'm consistent, that's fine.

I think it's mostly that I'm not paying full attention to it, but have it there to drown out the random inanities of my coworkers.

he'll get back to us on banning the neo-Nazis. I mean, one thing at a time, seriously, you guys.

He's trying to get thrown out.

If I were the ambassador there, my response to this would be contact the London Met police, say he's coming out in 30 minutes, and then have the two burliest members of staff toss his arse into the street.

There is, I suspect, a reason I'm not an ambassador.

I started seeing rental scooters in the area a few years ago, but they've really taken off here in the last year or so.

And most of the time I see people on these things, they're not wearing the provided helmets. Or they're riding double on them (occasionally triple). I've even seen some scooter riders flat out ignore stop signs and stop lights, and a couple who were driving on the sidewalk.

I saw one guy who clearly didn't know how to operate the scooter cut a wide turn, and sideswipe a concrete barricade. The helmet popped out of the wire cage on the back of the scooter (of course he wasn't wearing it), and he kept going down the street. I called after him, but either he didn't hear me, or he ignored me. And then he turned onto a much busier street.

Honestly, I'd feel bad for them, but instead I feel bad for the people who are going to be in accidents with these thundering idiots.

The number of programs (not just MS updates) that say, "We must reboot to finish this install".

I'm like, "You're keyboard software. The keyboard is working. All the lights on the keyboard are working. You obviously ~don't~ need to reboot to finish this."

It all goes back to MS being sort of crap at OSes in general, I suppose.

You're right. Except......

Okay, he goes out and puts a sign on the screen. The people doing the hack still know it works, though.

I think we'll see, in a few months' time, that his deputy, Andrew Wheeler, will cause just as much damage, if not more, but fly under the radar, because he will be less scandal-prone than his former boss.

Admittedly, it would be difficult to be more scandal-prone than Pruitt.
