Every time I try to slow down my car, I hear chopped up and recontextualized Amens...

I hate it that you're so right about this.

This has nothing to do with DeepSeek. The world has run out of flashy leather jackets for Jensen to wear, so nvidia is toast.

I'm delusional, then. Spotify hasn't paid me a red cent, but piracy has indirectly put money in my pocket and food on my table.

Sometimes it does. Piracy drives up sales of traditional media (think: vinyl), as well as increasing crowd size at live performances. Also, merch sales scale with awareness of an artist. All of these things equal the payout of millions of plays on spoffy.

I did not know this.

The Salesperson is incredibly important. They take the person responsible for making the purchase decision out to lunch and for rounds of golf, after all!

I cannot count the number of times I was able to fire off an email with a status update to the PM "JIRA is down, again, I completed XYZ, update your gantt charts, my part is done." I know that they paid a whole team of folks to craft the interrelations of those tasks for a system that hardly ever worked.

Allow me to regale you with a tale of Sun Identity Manager and XPRESS. A strange mangling of xml and pseudo javascript-esque pile of shit used for identity transformations for disparate systems.

On second thought, let's just not. I'd rather let that PTSD inducing memory slowly fade away, much like SunIDM did after Larry bought them to poach their customer base.

The GNU Testament, as it were.

The biggest issue here is that (at least in Texas), your ID has to be checked by a specific company.

Couldn't agree more! Hell, it doesn't even have to be Linux. AIX on an LPAR? Cool. Irix on an old SGI workstation? You do you, man. MacOS and you use open source tools? Get it, man! Solaris on x86? You're a sick fuck, but hey, it takes all types to make the world go round, you Larry Ellison supporting twat. Anyways, just use a unix variant, any of them.

Ctrl + meta + butterfly

emacs is a fantastic operating system, but it lacks a good editor.

His name is not Theodore. It's Rafael.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater (and 2) on psx.

Automodelista on ps2

All the Gran Tourismo games from psx and ps2

All iterations of Mario Kart from snes through wiiu

In was nine hours, out was four.

Longest, and most fun line I've ever waited in. 9 hours last time.

I <3 invidious. Was traveling recently and didn't have access to my home invidious instance and WOW, yt sucks without it.

Not free, just covered by most insurance.
