The main thing to remember about authoritarians is that none have ever been documented to be impervious to small pieces of metal moving at high speed.

Ticketmaster only exists to reduce the income of musicians.

The musicians would exist without Ticketmaster

The venues would exist without Ticketmaster

The crowd would exist without Ticketmaster

They only extract value

Apparently it really is the case that anyone who isn't white is somehow unqualified.

I mean DEI literally exists to remedy the problem of institutional white supremacy (amongst other related issues).

When someone is against DEI, that leaves the objective conclusion they're either ignorant, and will change their mind when presented with reality, or they're pro-white-supremacy—i.e. a Neo-Nazi fascist, with zero room for leeway.

The fight for equality is always the same no matter what new labels the fuckos put on their current theft of freedom.

Code Ownership

Lol did someone try and make him maintain the shitty code he wrote

Funny rule to have. I wonder if this is one of the subs Reddit admins took over after the moderator exodus

Oh, not to stop them from spontaneously combusting?

oh no

Tbh, I was more thinking about the $2600/m guy at the end when I posted that, rather than the comparatively more economical situations.

Assuming he also needs to pay a not-insignificant amount on insurance, (maybe) road tax and definitely fuel on top of that—surely that can't be economical unless he's driving many hours a day, every day.

I know if you're rural it's probably not an option but at those prices, surely you could even get around by taxi for cheaper, if their area is anywhere close to populated.

It can't be about ownership because I'd be surprised if anyone is actually paying these cards off before trading up

Fair play!

If you need to convert audio or video, ffmpeg is your man

If you need to convert a document pandoc is what you need

If you need to convert an image, imagemagick

If you need to "convert" some online media into local media, yt-dlp

Can't think of another use case that people would regularly be converting off the top of my head, but happy to fill in any gaps if there are any

What are you trying to convert? Generally shoving "open source software" on the end of the search query will get you something legit

Tomato is a fruit

I wonder if the website did the thing where it lists their big customers like a trophy cabinet on the main landing page.

It would probably make a good list of places to sell snake oil

Also love that this is all evidence to back up the premise that building the happy path of an application is generally easy, one of the main skills in software engineering is ensuring the unhappy paths are covered sufficiently. I can say I've started a bank and keep people's money in my wardrobe, I'll be providing the service of holding their money—I'll also probably get robbed sharpish because I'm not skilled in the kind of security needed to avoid that.

I was about to remark how this data backs up the events we've been watching unfold in America recently

My understanding is the importer pays the tariff to the border force. The seller is not involved in the transaction.

Your suggestion would be for an exporter to give Americans a cheaper price than everyone else based on something that happens following the sale.

Edit: happy to have it explained to me how I'm wrong if I am, I'm not gonna pretend I've got a perfect knowledge of how the American border works

About 35-40h generally, I'm a software engineer.

I enjoy my job, but ultimately the point of me doing my work is to be able to do whatever I want with my free time. Life is for living after all

Anyone that cares about an IQ result is a permanent clown that deserves to be laughed at until they're dust

You've definitely found them and you've already picked a few of my favourite tracks—I'm happy to have introduced you

Was just thinking this

A single LiDAR sensor prevents this kind of issue

Everything Everything

They've written some of my favourite albums over the past decade or so
