Can we start using “executed foreign nationals in international waters without proof, trial, process or even jurisdiction” yet?

I see he’s still completely tone-deaf, too.

in tact

Did you mean ‘intact’? As a statement on tact this sentence has a really different meaning.

We have American border police at our airports, and they are able to act as if they’re on home turf and not our fucking land – including arresting us to take to America. I have a thought as to whom we can expel from here, obviously!

Well it’s going to put a damper on my Ansible “coding”.

You think I want to properly learn that piece of junk? It was obsolete and archaic before it was released, and it survives on naivete and churn cost and nothing else. There is no part of my time doing yaml for Ansible that I want to actually retain or build on, and without chatGPT to slop-in the changes I need to make, I may be forced to do it myself. And I lack the crayons now and alcohol for after.

Actually subjecting my brain to Ansible directly in real-time is a horror. It is just so fucking lame compared to everything else – it even pales compared to the DevOps we were doing in 2002 before it was even called that. Let my have my robots to slop the Ansible and save my sanity !

I rode a bicycle to the 10th grade when I wrecked it in a non-dramatic fashion. Down the boulevard of a busy rural highway (shippers and logging) I’d ride every day to school.

I’ve never worn a helmet. #gen-x

Not proud of it, but it’s a quirk. I came here more to say that helmets are new for some of us.

Wasn’t there a paper about behavior changes with helmets and how the added safety could be off-set by more risk?

Finally: what’s the helmet situation in other countries, especially around ad-hoc rental scooters? I see scooters and bikes for rent here, but no buckets to wear, and I wonder the legality of that too.

This website is a blank page.

Better to invent a new word where the word parts don’t explain it and so they have to explain it every fucking time like that girl whose name is only and forever “Megan with two Rs”.

pro-transits

How pluralizing an uncountable/mass noun implies pros are transiting.

If the anti-cheat is client-side, that’s a solved problem, thanks to avoidance.

Appimages and flatpaks frustrate validation and thus break iso27002.

Anything else?

It’s amazing how a second or 5 at so many levels causes micro-frustration. And it builds up, too.

I admit I lose just a bit of my shit when the neu web-service web-apps get sluggish, which seems to be very often. Those of us who remember the halcyon days where things were responsive on a pentium know better than to accept the current mess.

My tolerance for the poor performance and saas-linked core services is rapidly waning.

Bah. I accidentally invaded America during Basic training. The other side of that long swathe of clearing was cooler, so we walked there.

Wow, did we get in trouble when we all found out we actually invaded.

How do I even check which version of the Steam runtime I am running? The flatpak version of Steam is just 1.0.something.other.

#justFlatpakThings

EWS came with Exchange 2007, almost 20 years ago!

Yay! Now do Windows and Syslog, or windows and SNMP.

So difficult to sync contacts and calendar

If only there was a well-defined protocol in a series of RFCs for that, AND people could use more than one protocol in a binary.

At the idea of customer choice and feedback, no less; like those things are somehow BAD.

I completely trust Systemd to accurately report on itself, the same as I trust American cops to police themselves.

Is this “git gud”, victim blaming, or a mix of both? Ignoring the comma splice.

You’d think if there was a janky bit of gear in there

1. Windows would tell you about it
2. Linux would suck the same.

Neither appear to be the case.

Just a page with the name of the project when I checked just now. Nothing else.

Look. Is part of the plan to build and distro an OTA flash for my ~9 echo flex models deployed out on the world? They have everything they need for interaction, as well as networking and Bluetooth beaconing.
