I’d like to host micro-instances for 1-2 subs for software: XYZApp-news and XYZApp-help or so, you get it.

But aPub seems to need M:M comms. True?

iOS is 60% of users in the US, where the author is from.

But only 30% of the known universe, where the author is from.

The Compress attribute has been in even ext3 since day 1. I’ve never tried it, though.

It’s ‘maxing’. It’s like ‘faxing’, ‘taxing’, or ‘relaxing’. Here’s your tree.

Are you saying she should have a differentiating position

I’m saying when it’s the same for either candidate, then it cannot be a deciding factor.

Microsoft has already contributed a shitton to the Linux kernel. So long as they don’t evict, only augment, it’s a good thing.

Extend comes after Embrace; sure. Historically, guess what comes next.

Man, I wish! One of my contracts is with a gov-like org, and they’re all-in on the slop.

Reminding them about PII and sovereignty is telling, and you know they’re beyond help as soon as they say “yes, but”.

What would ironically sickening look like?

Tonya Harding, please pick up a blue courtesy phone.

J Edgar Boozer

That’s hilarious.

1. Make a corp
2. Pay yourself a LOT
3. Bankrupt the corp

You see how HE doesn’t lose, even when the corp dies?

Secondhand

Second-hand, even.

Taxing, faxing, relaxing; why do people put the extra X in there? indolence?

obviously a layoff tactic.

It sure smells like it, right? But, and I’m repeating myself and others, the important part here is that, if it is a layoff tactic, it’s a horrible one: as per the Dead Sea Effect, the people who leave as a result of declining workplace environment are those most able to leave, i.e the most employable staff, with each round of departures. Thus, the people whom Meta would want to stay around are the people most likely to find, get, and depart for jobs elsewhere. And while Meta are bastards, the mechanics of working in a massive org like that one score really well for skills companies want.

I wish them luck in this terrible job market, and hope they can find a supportive environment again. We can always do with more smart people working for the greater good instead of against it.

Contracts are contracts.

Can confirm. It feels like it was eleven.

This. 100 times this.

If I had this in my college years - impossible since we had no Internet available yet at all - I’d’ve been laughing. Stay home, stay online, and hack all the waking day? BSc in no time.

A dear friend lived near the uni in her home town, and so lived with her mom, rent-free, and just went all-out on coursework. In 3 years she got and paid to receive a BA. She earned enough for a BSc too, but didn’t pay the fee for convocation and so doesn’t have it.

Three years. Wow, would that have been awesome.

Every dependency you don’t update is a zero day waiting to happen. All software carries risk.

In the same breath you’re advocating updating without checking, and saying why that’s an issue. You … realize that, right?

You’re so close to realising the reason enterprise distros do backports.
