Fuel just went over $3 a litre here.

Apparently the small dick energy of ute owners offsets the cost, they've never been more popular

Government doesn't build infrastructure either, it mostly just funds private companies to build it for them.

Theres a whole contract bidding process and everything

First thing to do if you need a functioning server

Unless you're a security guy and get off on people not being able to do their jobs due to Access Denied

+1 for Michael Crichton, his books are fantastic

Time to return to the OG internet then?

That actually works. It's like your healthcare system, those who pay the most get the best service

You can't fix a broken design and also maintain backwards compatibility.

Wayland creates and implements a new design, so yes things will need to be changed to work with it

Err, no. Lossless compression is lossless and there are a bunch of techniques to ensure that a copy is bit-for-bit identical to the original

Da fuq is wrong with a sandwich for lunch?

Sorry I'm still learning how to Lemmy, I only joined today once the Reddit withdrawals got too bad (I was using the Infinity Reddit client but it switched to the subscription model a couple of days ago)

For example, in the r/newzealand Reddit which is full of bleeding heart social justice warrior lefties, I would post comments in support of one of our minor parties that sits more centre-right on the spectrum (there is an election on at the moment)

That really riles them up, I get a heap of downvotes but also a couple of supportive comments from the 2% of other people on that sub that dare have a different opinion from the hivemind

Censor me harder daddy

The thing is, it made for some hilarious trolling opportunities.

And occasionally you'd find someone also going against the hivemind that shared your views

Fully remote is the way of the future, in tech anyway. Use the money you saved on not renting office space to fly teams to the same area for a week or so a few times a year, there's definite value in meeting, working together in person and going out for a beer afterwards. For short stints.

Otherwise, the lack of commute and the ability to focus uninterrupted for longer periods is massive advantage for remote work
