  • Throw him in a blender and turn him into automatic transmission fluid. That's the only kind of ATF he can be any good at.

  • Of course he's gonna hire somebody unqualified: he wouldn't know qualified people, he's a fucking TV show host.

  • I'd rather resign than justify my job to this unelected sack of shit.

  • That's okay, California has billions of gallons in reserve.

    Oh wait...

  • Ah right okay. Well, I'm a developer. All my machines are either development machines or build servers and they all run Linux bare metal. I have no need for hypervisors. My main machine is 13 years old and it has 4 of the same 500G SSD I installed in the old P4, I've been beating the hell out of them 8 hours a day for years and they're still doing fine.

  • Incentivizing people to get vaccinated is just as important as the shot itself. It's not nothing.

    Hell, even I, a staunch supporter of vaccines, who religiously gets the flu shot every year, sometimes forget to ask my doctor if it's available come autumn.

  • I wouldn't be surprised if the orange utan asked Google to "make a mistake" on purpose, to float the idea and see what would happen.

  • Good point.

    Although in fairness, it's not republicans, it's magats. Traditional republicans are people I strongly disagree with but they're not dumb: they will get vaccinated. The magats though, that's a different story.

  • I don't think that poor 20-year-old PC would do very well with a hypervisor 🙂

  • Yeah I know, but that requires work to setup and I don't really care about XP all that much. It was there on the spinning hard drive when I installed Linux alongside it, so I didn't remove it because, well, it worked so why trash it. But here on this new drive, I have no need for Windows. So I just left it on the now-decommissioned HDD. If I ever have a desperate need for it, I can always open up the machine and reconnect the old HDD.

  • cloud capital performs five roles that used to be beyond capital’s capacities: It grabs our attention. It manufactures our desires. It sells to us,

    hdparm reported higher throughput value. maybe 10/15%. I'll take it.

  • The drive cost me a big fat nothing 🙂 I'm adding stuff to this machine only if it's free.

    That's also why it has two DVD drives: one of them writes to DVD-RAM but has a dead CD laser, while the other still have CD support. But... both were free 🙂

  • This legal action marks a shift in Adams’ relationship with Trump.

    I think the man is betting on Trump becoming unpopular and those who resist him earning the sympathy of the people, for his own eventual salvation.

    If that's his bet, that means the wind is probably turning against the orange utan for real, because it's quite a ballsy bet.

  • Yeah yeah but the price of eggs will come down any moment now, so it's worth it!

  • A 20% of 84% eligible voters, or about 17% eligible voters, or about 15% of the population.

    This is not reassuring.

    15% of a population being Nazis is not reassuring in any country. But in Germany, the home of Nazism, that was utterly destroyed by Nazism, it's even scarier.

  • it’s pretty hard to fire a full time employee without cause

    It doesn't look like Musk had much trouble.

  • Exactly this.

    All the people who got fired and offered to be rehired should agree to refuse unless their salary is doubled - if only because decent employers don't play with people's livelihoods like that, to teach them a lesson.

  • Because alternative clients offer features that only the for-pay official client offers, like subscriptions and playlists, and Google can't collect data on what people subscribe to or their playlists because in alternative clients, they're stored locally.

    Google doesn't hate third-party clients because they skip ads: it hates them because they impede surveillance and privacy invasion, which is the true bread and butter of Google.
