The NYC council voting for this downgrade was just such an own goal.

I had a relative compelled into service to the enemy. He mistranslated all the manuals for captured equipment so that The Thing Don't Work. Mistranslate the manuals, whatever that means for you.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 2y agoa key take away from reading a lot of history for me: the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”
I would hire jj literally right now if it made any sense for me to do so. Which unfortunately it doesn’t. So you should hire them instead.
i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

Company layoff is impacting me, so I'm back on the market ya'll. I'm actively looking for DevOps/SRE/OSS and adjacent type positions as an IC or manager. Ideally, I want to build dope stuff with dope people. <3

I miss my 20s. This life did actually exist. We were all broke all the time, but we also all took care of each other. Whoever had money on any particular day paid. We all had keys to each others' apartments. I miss it, but I know that's gone now.

I deleted my Facebook account in 2009 and it’s had no negative impact on my life. I have since then also refused to use any Facebook products, also with no impact on my life. Sometimes people outside of the US briefly get annoyed I don’t have WhatsApp, but we always figure it out. Just delete it.
"Did you consider the people who don't like chili? The people who are vegetarians? The people without tastebuds? The people who don't know how to turn on stoves? What about all those folks?"
Did You Even Consider Every Possible Lived Experience Before Recklessly Posting Your Chili Recipe on Social Media?
Look, I get it. You thought what you posted was innocuous. Still, did you stop to think about everyone who has ever lived and how it could make the...

Hey Amiga fans of bluesky: would anyone be interested in buying a rare Amiga OS 4.0 developer prerelease disc? Hoping to find someone who'd really appreciate it before just posting it on eBay.
Europe cannot possibly hope to keep up with the pace of US innovation! In 2023 San Francisco, our tech capitol, invented the public restroom! No more poop on the streets!🤡 In 2024 NYC, our financial capital, invented the trash can! Fewer rats! 🤡 In 2025 LA, home of the stars, invents "mixed use!"

I just threw away like 10 Ethernet cables, several crossovers, two Cisco cables (console cables, but my tribe always called them Cisco cables), half a dozen random AC adapters, a TV antenna, and literally every cable I had that was USB-A on one end and USB-anything else on the other. Feels good.
This is not the first time this has happened at NYU. I think it was 2010 (?) when a student successfully replied-all to a college-wide email and other students jumped in to the chaos. The on-prem Exchange servers they had at the time melted down trying to relay all of the messages.

Anyone else remember how Solaris didn’t support a `-r` flag to the `shutdown` command but would also silently skip over it if specified so you’d have to go to the datacenter to turn it back on? Fun times.

This is your periodic reminder that Chumbawumba were an anarcho-communist punk band, and even that one song you know from the radio in the 90s is actually about the resilience of the working class who will never stop fighting against the oligarchy. Also go check out their albums from the 80s.
This is infinitely better than whatever the fuck it is that Golang makes us do.
