Do NOT blame the devs for this. They are not the ones to decide the direction of the product or the priority of the tickets they work. Blame upper management for making these poor decisions and the product managers for being spineless and not pushing back.

You aren't wrong that telecom companies are trashy, but being a dick to a support agent isn't the right way to go. Support staff are more willing to help and work with you if you aren't yelling at them right out the gate and blaming them for something they have no control over.

Unmarked vehicle. Masked. Only 2 of them, one not in uniform. Yeah, this isn't a lawful arrest. This is a kidnapping.

You are on the wrong side of history, and nobody will remember you. You will be forgotten as the pigs you are.

No flak. I was gonna post the same thing. Women deserve to feel safe too.

Nobody wants to invest 2 months paycheck into hardware that the developer is going to drop support for in 6 months.

Hardware is too expensive for the average Joe to buy and those of us who can afford it are tired of being burned by companies that provide subpar service then drop support for the thing. Cool, bleeding edge tech means little if there is little use for it or if nobody can afford it.

Not a hot take at all. Asking someone to go from a GUI heavy operating system to a command line heavy one and be just as productive is lunacy. Like all major changes it is important to ween off the old thing.

My biggest hurdle with the switch has been permission related issues, and you can't deal with those cleanly with a UI, and every help thread under the sun throws out a bunch of command line commands giving a solution without explaining why those changes are needed. It may seem like Unix 101 to experienced Linux users, but it is really cryptic to newcomers coming from operating systems that are...cough more lenient with their permissions.

There is also a mentality that UIs are much more idiot proof than command line. UIs are written by people who actually know the OS so we can't accidentally delete our home folder because of a typo. It is a very legitimate concern.

Just a friendly reminder that resisting arrest is not a reason to arrest somebody. That charge comes second, not first, and if that is the first charge then the police deserve any and all harm that befall them.

Citizens should legally be able to defend themselves with violence if they are being arrested or assaulted for resisting arrest.

You know what else kills a human? Forcing them to give birth even if they are not healthy enough to do so.

If you are going to make talking points at least be cohesive.

"Blame the author, not the language"

Says the person who screams they have never worked professionally with a team before.

There is no excuse to not use statically typed, safe languages nowadays. There are languages that let you build faster like Python and Typescript, but faster does not mean safer. Even if your code is flawless it still isn't safe because all it takes is a single flawed line of code. The more bug vectors you remove the better the language is.

It is usually a driver who has too many packages or doesn't care, both cases are an issue with the company itself.

This is a surprisingly common issue. I've had it happen at least once in every job I've worked. This is usually the responsibility of the devops or devsec teams, and they are usually heavily underfunded since they are cost centers that do not bring in profit.

I shit you not, this happened to me with old school RuneScape.

So what I'm hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.

What is the opposite of "don't dead open inside"? This works both ways.

This wording is wild. They did not say that AV1 uses patented material - they said that AV1 includes some technologies that are in HEVC. Dolby doesn't have a case, and they know it. They are trying to use wording that twists the truth to make it sound like they are in the right.

At this rate he will never be able to vote.

If your truck is that clean, you should not have a truck.

When a company changes their motto away from "don't be evil" you know damn well they are evil.

You have immediately lost the debate when you attack a person instead of their argument.
