You probably didn't realize that back in the day the old FAT filesystem only allowed 8.3 filenames.

Or my favorite: you spend a ton of time reporting a bug and following silly bug reporting templates, just for the development team to eventually declare bug bankruptcy and close all bugs as won't fix.

What do you mean "wiped from the web?" It's literally the first result when you search for "Colbert Trump interview" on YouTube: youtu.be/Ns7ocpRhDD8?...

The fact he's back on just shows that they can't yet block someone entirely. But they really want to. Look at what happened to Colbert and Trump's tweet to silence Jimmy Fallon. It's unbelievable how anyone could accept this behavior from a supposedly free country government.

Oh he's trying. See what happened with Colbert and Kimmel.

Who needs advanced research when you have a stable genius with a sharpie?

I'm pretty sure the fish noticed it too.

Meanwhile, in the OORT cloud, the real explanation for the Fermi Paradox... :)

A sign floats in space with the sun in the distant background. The sign says "Entering Sol System - Keep out! Hairless monkeys around the third planet are known to bite!"

These people invented the "anti-christianity", which is basically Christianity without Christ and his teachings. They want to rob the poor, harm the weak, and corrupt the innocent. Money is their god. As possibly one of the least perfect people ever to be born, Trump is their perfect messiah.

Whoa... That's not nostalgia. It's a nightmare from my past. Urgh!

PHP, JavaScript, and others, are all technologies that have survived every single attempt against their lives for a long time.

LOL. I've been using tiling window managers for so long I don't even know if I can use the computer without them (first i3, then qtile for the layout capabilities)

And where's fricking AI to do the dirty work for us? We're putting people to do this work while AI "creates art"...

Stretch your neck! Amazing how it stops my hotel pillow pains immediately. Sit on a chair hands hanging on your sides. Grab the underside of the chair with one hand and let your body, neck, and head "fall" to the other side (stretching arm and neck). Repeat for the other side.

That page is full of opinions passed as truths. Hard pass.

Seeing this video also made my day yesterday. While I don't know her personally (unfortunately), my wife and I were concerned due to the lack of news.

It's a matter of experience and gravitas. This is how we save time:

- Junior person: "Hey, TPM so and so wants us to do this (shows complicated and questionable project)."

- Me: "TPM is an idiot. Tell them to get fucked and ignore. Go do X instead. Tell them to talk to me if they have questions."

Not only that! People don't realize that in the 50's the US was in a privileged position. Europe was still rebuilding from the war. Japan had been basically destroyed. China was a rural place like most of Asia. Things have changed a lot. These people want to fit a round peg in a square hole.

Hell no! I was forced to work with this disgrace for years. Burn it immediately! Also burn some sage around your house for good measure.
