In the past two years, I have had horrible issues where it decides that I’m not allowed to join the call because I have a Teams account logged into a different organization, that it won’t let me log out of. An issue where Microsoft servers just time out if you have ipv6 enabled, etc.

Don’t get me started on Skype for Business. It’s still around.

IT folk got so annoyed about being asked about what happens if you got run over by a bus, they decided to go out and show everyone.

game mechanics aren’t patentable?

True haha, thats a good distinction. I’m just joking here.

Kind of interesting that chloroplasts in plants seem to be a sort of symbiosis as well, like mitochondria, considering the cell walls around them.

homo sapiens is known to use photosynthesis through symbiotic relationships with various grasses to create sugars, lipids, and proteins for itself

Humans know to drive more carefully in low visibility, and/or to take actions to improve visibility. Muskboxes don’t.

By this logic, we should still be using copper phone lines, analog TV, and 3G should never get switched off. Obviously there are always budget constraints but technological progress does not wait for shitty vendors.

I work mainly in cloud and Kubernetes environments where this stuff is already automated. New vendors are often just deploying new containers into a cluster.

It’s been a year since I’ve uninstalled Windows, but I believe Windows 10 Pro does not have access to the stronger GPO policies that enterprise has. Enterprise was the ad-free version for a while there, but I think it’s just as bad as Pro now.

Yeah Twitter is still designated as a large online platform under the DSA.

Dodging the DMA only has implications for Twitter advertising and federation, I think.

Basically, Twitter is not seen as a monopoly on the microblogging market, but it is still a very large communication platform that must pay special attention to moderation practices.

I imagine the brunt of Twitter’s argument here is that they have strong competition from Bluesky and Threads, so are not seen as a gatekeeper in the market for microblogging advertising.

True.

cert-manager is an amazing tool for deploying certificates for containerized applications. There’s no standardized way to deploy those certs outside of containers without scripting it yourself though, unfortunately.

They should be automated too.

The fact that I can’t use terraform to automatically deploy certs to network appliances is a problem.

The amount of times that windows “features” come back after I disable them via GPO on Windows 10 Entrerprise tells me that this isn’t true.

The irony that setting up Windows now requires more command line use than Linux in 2024.

Regarding size, the steamdeck already has an M.2 for storage, and a CAMM2 module for ram would take about the same amount of space as a second M.2 drive. The only other major thing for repairability/upgradability would be less glue on the battery and threaded inserts, which doesn’t add size.

Fediseer chooses instances INTENTIONALLY

which is why im saying use fediseer so they dont have to hand pick 5 instances

Then why don’t they accept any instance? Fediseer has an api where they can see the most reputable instances and limit to only allowing those reputable instances.
