It's hilarious but true - they think they represent some huge number of americans who are out there, disregarded by enormous media and portions of tech. In fact, they represent less than a third of Americans who are stuck fighting a losing race war that they're convinced is going to turn on them and eliminate their control (it will) then eliminate them - and they jump to these sick conclusions because of their rampant projection, it's exactly what they would do if they had control so of course they fear it.

I have two diverging responses to this - one, if they're credited for their commits, in the purview of FOSS projects, they're compensated as much as they expect; two - that said, I would love to see FOSS projects get more love and financial support from the community - which is why watching the GODOT project has been exciting. I'm not much of a dev, and not in a position to contribute to what they're doing in code, but sending them some coffee money has been worthwhile.

and are hardly the only companies using FOSS; everyone from non profits to miliary systems use it. this meme doesn't really work when you take the whole picture into account.

left reddit for good w/ a 50k sub I modded for over a decade. the best thing since: when modcodeofconduct tried to recruit replacements from the userbase, the users ignored them. the new mods are some randos, the subs are full of spam and garbage.

Great works Spez you fucking dolt.

thinking that waste heat is a rounding error and not worth accounting for / reducing.

will be pretty fucking dumb to get co2 under control only to find out that we're still heating up the planet with every recharge, we're literally pumping heat into the ground (yay heatpumps! wait, shit) and we think it's 'free', but eventually even that will add up, and be ever so much more apparent once the fossil fuels stop burning, but the temps keep climbing.

everything we own or make dumps all it's resistance generated heat right into our atmosphere.

I have a rule about bethesda games - I don't buy them until well after the first few patches, or the GOTY edition. I am starfield curious but also, hesitant because of No Man's Sky. Allow me to elaborate:

NMS shipped and was garbage. But over the ensuing year, damned near everything players expected or wanted from it came to be with game altering updates that improved it's content range enormously. It's still not my favorite game, but every time I fire it up there's new shit for me to do and most of it's pretty well implemented.

I have absolutely zero expectations in this way for Starfield. They're not going to rework space-to-ground flight or rng generated ground plots you can't explore past; they may improve perf and qol over time, but I fundamentally doubt anything like No Man's Sky updates are in the future.

So yeah, that makes me pause, and remember to be patient.

I read a reason for this: he's taller than Trump now and Trump doesn't want him anywhere near cameras while he's in frame.

The cat won't decide in or out the bedroom, 5 times per night, cat's got it's own problems and needs to mind it's own business.

I do start a new job Tuesday.

Congrats!

blame turbotax and their peers. we should have had an electronic filing system a decade ago. but special interests said naw, fuck that.

inflation is evil, so we can't raise wages!

//every company raises prices, so net result is more americans in poverty//

that is awesome.

Chicago has so many beautiful brownstones, some with turrets and bay tower kinda shit.... love their aesthetic.

Your frontend will always churn, that’s the nature of the job.

Yep. The trick is to be gone before anyone finds the gross stuff needed to make it all work.

You'll shoot your balls off.
