I wanted some foreign goods to get more expensive. To end slavery, not to escalate a trade war!

I should have checked my vicinity for any stray monkey’s paws when I made that wish.

Remembering that show frustrates me. How did they start with such a hilarious premise and end up with a show that’s okay and not one milligram more?

Upscale it to 4K for no reason

I just thought that in real life, when they were out of on-stage roles, other children would do something else. But then again if the children are, like, 7, it’s not like you can assign ALL the jobs to them.

I hadn’t thought about it. But then again, I never did any sort of play at school.

I thought casting students as inanimate objects or plants only happened in TV shows.

What year is it? Locked devices have been illegal in Quebec for, like, ever.

I do know a few devs who prefer 5 days in the office. But they’re absolutely the minority.

Personally, I try to go once a week, but I usually don’t because I dread having a day with 50% my normal productivity.

It’s just so noisy all the time in there. Open space and really high ceilings for “collaboration”…

I hope you can see a doctor because that doesn’t sound good at all

At 60 years old I’d get it but at 30? That’s worrisome.

For now. I suspect some evil person will eventually think of baking in default ads for when it can’t connect to the network to get new ones.

They’re not?

That looks delicious. I wanna try.

I wouldn’t mind them if they didn’t BREAK MY REMOTE’S PLAY BUTTON.

I hate that this is true. Why are we like this.

That is not what I’m suggesting. I’m not saying charging only cables shouldn’t exist. I’m saying what everything does should be clearer.

There should be a way to make it simpler.

Idk, something like “for USB 4 you NEED all of these”.

Or maybe USB 4 with levels like bronze, silver, etc.

Or make displaying data rate, display and charging capabilities all mandatory on all ports…

I’m not sure what, but “it’s a USB port; look in the manual and if you’re lucky you might learn what it does exactly” ain’t it.

The USB standards are just… Comically overcomplicated. And almost everything about it is optional. They need a full revamp, making it simpler and mandatory on all future ports, devices and cables.

But they won’t do that, will they.

URLs aren’t case-sensitive though, so wouldn’t those necessarily have another kind of differentiator?

We regularly have that problem at work. Works on your development PC on Windows. Push to pipeline, get cryptic error messages. Once we were two people trying to figure it out for half an hour.

Case-sensitive file names. Why.

That would work for projects important enough to be worth the government’s attention. But we don’t want every small project ever to be dependent on that.

Do you really see some teenager trying to meet a civil servant to explain how their Super Random RPG 2025 wiki is worth it, and the project is finally accepted (or refused, because the civil servant isn’t too hot about giving government money to something about video games) half a year later, when the most intense players, who would have contributed to such a platform a lot, have already finished the game?

I absolutely like that idea and I think it could be great for big sites like Wikipedia and various Internet Archive projects.

But I really don’t think it solves everything.
