You kind of do but not a bank holiday. I believe us federal law mandates that your employer give you time to vote, but not the whole day off.

I agree it is dumb and backwards.

I didn’t read it as humour I read it as a threat or perhaps a dig on trans folks?

Regardless I didn’t need to escalate.

The hell does that mean? They are a shithead CEO, doesn’t need to be more than that.

Why not spin the spoon in food so it costs the entire spoon and then just eat it as normal

I’m with you in the long term.

I am curious what kernel is backing the computers on the stuff SpaceX is doing. I’ve never seen their consoles but I am guessing we are closer to modern reusable hardware and software than we were before. When niche applications like that keep getting more diverse, i bet we will get more open specifications so everything can work together.
But again I am more pessimistic and think 50 years would be relatively early for something like that.

Yeah, I guess in my fantasy I was Assuming that windows would do a full rewrote and adopt the unix abi, but I know that wouldn’t happen.

Mainstream is about to collapse. The exploitation nonsense is faltering. Open source is emerging as the only legitimate player.

I’m a die hard open source fan but that still feels like a stretch. I remember 10 years ago we were theorizing that windows would get out of the os business and just be a shell over a unix kernel, and that never made it anywhere.

I will vote and scream and cry against it, but Boeing is likely too big to fail. Boeing and Airbus are the only game in town (in the west).

I agree with you, but nothing he workers asked for seems to do any of that. Rather it will “balloon” payroll and the c suite will look for ways to make their money. This is all assuming that boeing has been doing what other companies have been, and focusing on stock buybacks and getting money back to shareholders.

This is such a strange reality to live in. All of the futuristic, dystopian fiction I have consumed has the same premise that people living in the dystopia know it and know it’s bad. Somehow reality is worse.

Very possible I was just out of it.

I am so numb to outrage that this just seems… Meh. What happened to me.

I remember the no poop guy, but I feel like I slept in one weekend and missed beans altogether.

Lolol, was about to post that I played enough hoi4 to know what the south of France looks like

It’s a Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reference. I have only seen the movie (I think the flower makes an appearance) but I have no idea what it’s about.

Charlie horses are awful. It was hydration for me. When I drink enough water I don’t get them

I liked the public ledger of contracts idea someone had. You use the public block chain to sign and store stuff like mortgages, that way everyone sees the same copy.

I think AI is falling into disillusionment and Quantum Computers feel at least 10 years behind.

Jokes on them, I’m real bad with money and went into debt and destroyed my credit!

But I run proxmox for fun 😎

Yeah, she shouldn’t be doing any of that but we have no evidence she is the one that crashed. I bet I could do like 3 minutes of googling to find out, but meh.
