I don't know, I'm just a sqwrl.She/They 🏳️‍⚧️

  • I mean maybe it's for the best. Maybe into four or five separate regions. It's very clear that places like Texas do not want to share a country with Cali or NY any longer, and neither do the latter. If everyone can agree to do it peacefully, there shouldn't be too much disruption. It'd be like the breakup of the USSR. Then the left leaning states can finally get on with implementing modern social policies like universal healthcare without the troglodytes getting in the way.

    My main worry would be, who gets all the nukes.

  • “I made an error regarding a mistaken identity. I apologized, learned a lesson, and it won’t happen again,” Boebert said in a statement.

    The fuck it won't. Fascists tend to see their enemies everywhere. It's why simply telling Trump "no, you can't do that" makes you some kind of radical Marxist in his eyes.

  • The "standard" Star Trek for me by which I compare others to is TNG, because I grew up in the 80s and 90s. TOS I guess is great for getting it off the ground but I just can't relate to the 60s aesthetics, feels like I'm watching an old episode of The Munsters or I dream of Jeannie. I'm not from that time, and it feels very campy to me.

  • I wa going to suggest tape drives for long term archiving, but after looking, holy shit are they expensive for some reason. I've used them at work but I guess I've never actually seen the price tag.

  • His supporters have argued alternately that Musk’s autism affects how he behaves in public, and that the salute was nothing much out of the ordinary.

    I'm on the spectrum. People, stop using neurodivergence as an excuse for someone being a shitty person. People like us can still tell good from evil even if we don't fully understand common social behaviors. The golden rule is easy enough to understand.

  • I got like five bottles of the stuff laying around my house.

  • I mean, Rogan does have a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He'd pulverize ol' beet-faced Jones. Jones just kind of always looks like he's ready to have a heart attack in the next five minutes.

  • Simply removing the two-factor auth element which does nothing to access the main page underneath. I do that shit with newspaper paywalls. That is wild.

    Also having a script in there that just resets a password no questions asked. WTF is going on with modern software development? It isn't just Subaru. It's almost everything in the last 15 years. Behind all the pretty lipstick, IT systems are jankier than ever.

    For any aspiring programmers, remember, never ever assume the user is rational, expecting them to follow the rules. At least half of your user data-handling code should be validation and sanity checks. Code defensively.

  • BRB washing evidence out of my socks.

  • int buffer[BUFFER_SIZE]; for (int i; i < BUFFER_SIZE + 1; i++) { buffer[i] = i; }

  • Click...click...click...click...

  • Just having Nichelle Nichols there in a lead role was probably enough to boil some nuts at the time.

  • Can my family and I get a pardon too while you're at it, Mr. President? You know something that's about to go down that we don't?

  • I grew up on DOS. I am equally as comfortable doing practically everything in a terminal as I am in a graphical environment. I'm sure I'm not alone among other IT folks.

    I've been known to keep text based IRC clients or text based Tetris or some shit open on another virtual terminal for shits and giggles while I'm working an a different one, flipping back and forth between tasks. Just like a user on a multitasking graphical OS would do.

  • Yes, I have. Searching for mirrors to get an installation package of some sort or ISOs to set up virtual machines and downloading it directly to the server, for example. Don't need USB, don't need another PC or phone, just do it all on the same server you're working on.

  • But it's 2025 and even a 10 year old phone you found in a dumpster behind a decaying Radio Shack can run modern websites without issue.

    What about a server without a GUI where your only interface is a terminal using the Lynx browser? I've lost count of how many times I've done that.

    The background world of the Internet infrastructure nobody ever sees or thinks about still very much looks like the 1980s.
