One of the greats of all time

GB News is the UK Fox news for those that don't know

Little curious why this is posted in the UK community given it's about Australia

Exactly this

We have so much untapped potential in the world because of the system he is a product of. The vast majority of people have to spend most of their time and effort on general survival. There's diminishing amounts of time and effort that average Joe can actually spend on intellectual and artistic pursuits orthogonal to their source of income. Hell, just fucking having hobbies is becoming a bit of a privileged position in 2026, which is frankly a desolate place we've managed to take civilisation.

Hard no from me

I don't want some nutjob with too much time stalking me because I upvoted something about climate change or downvoted some bigoted shit. We all know those fuckos are out there

Voting on Reddit-like platforms is soft moderation by a community, and if you disincentive that, the whole model kinda falls apart IMO

Holy fucking shit this isn't just a meme, wtaf is going on at Microsoft.

The FOSS aficionados of Lemmy will probably be quick to tell me it's always been shit, but this seems like a marked increase in bad decisions in the past 5-10 years

"good morning, I'm about to destroy the backend" is exactly the energy I'd welcome from a colleague frankly.

I think the outage that followed as we fumbled to replace it would probably be cheaper than the ongoing maintenance after a few months

Mostly posting this because holy shit what a jump to blame schools distributing laptops being the cause and not psychologically addictive social media algorithms having a total domination of their attention

Definitely nothing to do with the fact that schools giving out laptops disproportionately benefits less wealthier families

Reddit died June 2023

I don't know why people are still playing with the corpse

The statement "this [guy] thinks the government uses SQL" demonstrates a complete and total lack of knowledge as to what SQL even is. Every government on the planet makes extensive and well documented use of it.

The initial statement I believe is down to a combination of the above and also the lack of domain knowledge around social security. The primary key on the social security table would be a composite key of both the SSN and a date of birth—duplicates are expected of just parts of the key.

If he knew the domain, he would know this isn't an issue. If he knew the technology he would be able to see the constraint and following investigation, reach the conclusion that it's not an issue.

The man continues to be a malignant moron

I don't care about a list of billionaires, but I just know this guy cares about being on it, so that makes me happy

"Mildly interesting" is not very close to my reaction to this at all, rather something closer to "particularly concerning"

Man, Microsoft just keeps footgunning this one.

Every new exploit, they clearly have a meeting and convince themselves "that's gotta be the last of it, right?"

So the next day-after-patch-tuesday rolls around and lo and behold, this guy drops some more nukes on their reputation as far as their most important customer demographic are concerned (corporate IT)

Given this genuinely does seem to stem from Microsoft mishandling this guy, why the fuck do they keep escalating

After a lifetime of being tech support for everyone I know outside of work, I do not relate to this

Davis says the administration is reviewing the academy's operations, and he is hopeful it will restore classes. If not, he says, he'll see the administration somewhat differently.

"It will change my outlook to say that they're not being fair,"

Hahahahahahaha

Damn, that's kinda a holy grail of game storefronts

We don't need AI rubbish for this, someone already made this one:

Everything of value on Reddit was posted by people who have left

A lot of those people left for here

Why is it basically only the EU that seems to have an interest in preventing shitty business practices.
