That's what I'm looking forward to.

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'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.

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.

I live and work near it. Well, for certain values of near.

I live 5 miles from it, and work about 10 miles from it.

So far, at least three coworkers that I know (and probably a few more that I don't know) have lost houses to it.

Air quality is currently at about .75 LB (that is, 3/4 of Long Beach, where every day is a pack of filterless Lucky Strike 100s).

I recognize that this is probably (long term) a good (or at least not bad) design decision.

I can already picture how it's going to make certain aspects of dealing with tons of projects easier...

But I can't say that I'm going to enjoy all the tech assist calls I'll have to deal with, from my coworkers who just want it to look / work like Windows 7 - some of which are the same people who just wanted Windows 7 to look/work like XP. (And also hated the Office ribbon.)

Just off the bathroom alone, that's going to be a lot of baskets.

The day an AI can do all the bullshit paperwork I have to deal with, is the day I gladly let an AI take my job.

I'll go weave baskets or something for a living, at that point.

Thanks man; found an article with his thoughts on this on Business Insider... which I have to say is not flattering to Peterson, but I'll look around for more.

Thanks for the name.

Did you ever think that the content blockers would have thought of that, too?

Yes, the Wayback Machine is blocked here, too. I honestly continue to be surprised that Slashdot isn't.
