The promise of Jenkins and all the much more modern CI/CD tools when the job is ultimately just maintaining an aging Jenkins server.

It's because those billionaires are down there boosting the economy and creating jobs... for search and rescue teams.

Quote of the day by Gabe Newell: "Piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue" — Sony just proved why digital storefronts are broken
In fact, pirates are repeatedly shown to spend more on media than non-pirates.

Small acceptable amounts allows for a slightly larger amount next time.
This is a false premise. Instead of choosing which evil we want to accept, we can choose which evil we prefer to resist.

Is there a place to buy audiobooks without DRM?
https://libro.fm/ is DRM free. Each purchase gives a link to the raw mp3 file and a share of each sale goes to a local bookstore of your choice. They also offer a subscription comparable to audible of you like that style.

I wonder how many pictures will be lost to time from parents who don't back up or share the photos on their phone?
Reply in thread
Yep. An archive of grandma's old phone photos will just be pics of casseroles, receipts, and questionably shaped moles.

Now I'm called out by my own post
The average roleplaying game rulebook is like a vehicle repair manual except all the part names come from a mixed up swirl of foreign mythologies or experimental science concepts. Not every kid has the patience, the mental agility, or the lack of more interesting social distractions necessary to internalize those rules and run a game for their friends.

Old enough to turn to Channel 3 before blowing on the cartridge.

Drink carbonator
My all plastic soda stream broke after 10 years of daily use. I switched to the all metal Aarke and I've been really happy with it. Uses the same bottle and carbonator size as soda stream.

i'm incredibly upset and not sure what I did wrong here.
Regardless what's going on with your friend you posted the same long screed in 6 places.
I'm gonna be real enough with you to say that behavior is screaming a big need for external validation. Or at the least, a marker for high personal drama. In my experience, those friends will wear out my social battery real quick and "it's too much to hang out with me" is exactly how those folks can feel.
I honestly wish the best for you, your friend, and any friendship y'all manage between you. Just don't forget to monitor the emotional load that you're asking folks around you to carry.

Then I'm the third half and I have a friend that makes the 4th half. I feel like okcupid's early days was peak dating tech before the enshittification set in.
