I thought the point of this instance was to try and start a decent one here.

Thankfully we can bypass the politicians and implement a better voting system via citizen ballot initiatives in most states. Maine and Alaska have already adopted ranked choice voting via ballot initiatives.

Cloud is way worse than server in my experience. Server was only bad because it was usually configured poorly and IT would never give admins to anyone who actually needed it. Cloud is bad because it’s slow as hell and can’t be configured correctly because the ability to configure it correctly has been sitting in “Gathering Interest” on Atlassian’s issue tracker for two years despite thousands of votes and comments.

There’s still Jira Data Center but nobody wants to pay extra for it so instead we have to deal the the garbage that is Cloud.

Both the Street Sharks and the Biker Mice from Mars feel pretty imaginary.

Thinking quickly, Generative AI constructs a playable version of Doom, using only some string, a squirrel, and a playable version of Doom.

It will make the air behind your fridge warmer in exchange for making the air around your body cooler. There’s usually not great airflow behind the fridge so it won’t affect the rest of your house much.

If you’ve got an open kitchen or something you can still freeze the bottles at night and use them during the day.

There aren’t any meetings that are part of Agile. The point of Agile is that you’re supposed to let teams self-organize and define their own process through iteration but managers hate that so they issue a top-down mandate to implement the Scrum process without allowing anyone outside of management to change it in any way and call it “Agile”.

Disagree, without IP laws whoever has the most money can crush all competition. An example of this is how the first pump hand soap softsoap couldn’t patent the hand pump design because it already existed so they just bought all the existing stock to prevent anyone from releasing a competing product.

If you get rid of IP laws you’ll just further entrench the existing winners.

Write a good book? Without copyright, Penguin random house publishes an exact copy at a higher quality and sells a million copies while you sell a handful to discerning fans.

Build a quality product? Without trademark, proctor and gamble flood the market using your brand name and nobody can distinguish their products from yours even though their quality is much worse.

Invent something revolutionary? Without patents you have to keep your process a secret so you don’t get copied. If you get hit by a bus your invention is now lost to society forever unless someone manages to reverse-engineee it.

Not before abolishing capitalism or you’re just making things worse.

It will be funny when all the LLMs start posting it in their responses at least.

The leak didn’t include phone numbers or emails but I’m sure there will be attempts at spear phishing businesses since they can figure out the business name from the physical address.

Yes, people use it wrong. That doesn’t change the definition of the word.

Actually it does, that’s how language works.

That’s a Naga not a dragon, a common mistake.

It belongs in a museum [email protected].

I actually dont understand why we not do something drastic. I mean like ban cars and planes.

Talk so some other people about your idea and you’ll understand why we don’t.

Because blocking an instance only blocks their communities from showing up in your All feed, it doesn’t block comments.

Like I said, game development. For example, I know Unreal’s build system pretty well and that’s a bunch of batch files, C#, and nmake that gets generated automatically.
