BeardedGingerWonder,

Were there any links to torrents though?

BeardedGingerWonder,

By that logic shouldn’t they just shut down the instance? There’s nothing to stop anyone posting direct links to piracy in any comm

BeardedGingerWonder,

Only gamers get that joke

BeardedGingerWonder,

While that’s fairly typical and good practice in dev circles, we’re talking about a company that’s single handedly elevated an entire OS to prevent a big company taking too much power. I think the key here is they don’t really compete with Google.

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?

Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this....

BeardedGingerWonder,

No doubt you’re right about some middle management and I see this said a lot. Anecdotally I don’t believe I’ve met any middle management that want to be back in the office. If I’m honest I don’t think I’ve ever met middle management that enjoys middle management, it’s a ton of fucking stress keeping senior management happy with heir batshit detached requests and interpreting it into something moderately sensible so individual contributors can be productive and actually achieve the shit that needs done.

Meanwhile Steve can’t seem to wrap his head round the fact that just because he likes formatting his code a particular way isn’t a good reason to ignore the team coding standards, Cheryl and Sushant have decided to book expensive holidays for the same week without clearing the leave first - so I’ll be spending Christmas supporting the app on top of everything else even though I booked it off in the system in January and ultimately I hate this fucking job because I can’t do the thing I’m actually fucking good at.

BeardedGingerWonder,

They were all basically at it, it’s the only way the emissions and performance numbers could be hit.

BeardedGingerWonder,

It will also likely have a stabiliser fitted.

BeardedGingerWonder,

Is there anything that would prevent some kind of proxy stripper? I’m thinking something that loads the page with a clean agent, strips out the shit and serves a nice clean page?

Definitely beyond pihole as it stands, but doable.

BeardedGingerWonder,

They are absolutely the driver in this market, like it or not.

BeardedGingerWonder,

We don’t need a lot of anything bar food, water, oxygen and sex. I’m all for sensible cars Vs that monstrosity on the left, but as hobbies go - boating is not the most offensive.

BeardedGingerWonder,

While I’d love this to happen, it’s a very different proposition. We knew heavier than air flight was possible, birds had been doing it for millions of years prior to the Wright brothers. Even humans had demonstrated flight before, the Montgolfier brothers had demonstrated flight more than 150 years before the Wrights.

The issue is we know of nothing that can transmit faster than the speed of light, we have no model to work from.

BeardedGingerWonder,

GIMP + Inkscape UI refresh and I’d fund the shit out of that.

BeardedGingerWonder,

They’re still up on last year and were much lower in September 22 than any dive since the protest. Even looking at the 5 year chart, pre protest levels weren’t much on where they were 2018. The protests were a blip at best.

BeardedGingerWonder,

Did you go back as far as Sept/Oct '22? It was under $45 at that point, under $40 in May 2020. They’re trading above their 52 week VWAP atm. If you look really long term they’ve been on a slide since 2016 when they hit a peak around $130.

I’m not saying there was no impact to their share price due to the protests, being protested all over the news will do that, but the drop was small and short - they’ve literally seen bigger drops in the last 12 months.

ciferecaNinjo, to teletext

I’ve noticed teletext is sent along with broadcast radio as well. E.g. smartphones with an FM receiver are able to show the station callsign and the name of the currently playing artist. So my question is, is scheduling information also included in that data stream so we know what programs are coming on the radio station at what times?

BeardedGingerWonder,

I don’t believe so, no. The datastream is RDS or RDBS rather than Teletext. More details here

BeardedGingerWonder,

Or they accept it as a way to pay for that instance. The servers aren’t free at the end of the day.

BeardedGingerWonder,

The choice is the thing, I think. It’s what made the whole Reddit thing a bit bizarre for me. Like they could’ve just passed the ads through the API and used personal API keys in 3rd party apps. Those content to take the ads take them and those who prefer to pay a fee can do so.

“We need to pay for this shit, it’s up to you how we do it” is a much easier sell IMO than “you’ll use our app and you’ll fucking like it”

BeardedGingerWonder,

It'd be nice if I could get a 64G model in the UK.
