The people writing the laws know exactly what they’re doing. Also, the people writing the laws are not necessarily the people passing the laws.

Lobbyists often will write laws, and then wine and dine lawmakers to pass them.

Tell me more about Joseph Smith. I couldn’t find any good info on him and would love your take.

But think of the children!

These are the same people who push things like age verification, and banning porn. The really worse part about this, despite his hand-waving “I didn’t mean to offend anyone” bullshit, is that this apparently has become so normalized that this has become something that is taking a large amount of effort and time to resolve (if it ever gets resolved).

In any normal timeline, this a) would have never happened so publicly, and 2) he would’ve been immediately removed and stepped down in shame.

But here we are: the Dark Ages pt. 2. Their masks are off, and they are leaving their shame behind. This is our new normal.

I was making a joke about how the email was dated back in August 2025, and how it’s being posted now (for April Fool’s Day). The comparison being that the email talked about waiting on IPv6 adoption since 1998.

But you’re right that using IPv4 locally makes sense. Ain’t no way I’m trying to remember a 128-bit address.

Kinda like ipv6 adoption, huh?

Is this like crimping your own network cables? Or are you talking more rudimentary?

In systemd it would be optional. This post is about the OS making it a requirement to ask the user birthdate and using said optional field to store it.

Gee. Maybe it has something to do with calling him a crayon cruncher?

But what do you care, right?

It’s not like this society is already overrun with assholes who pretend they’re better than everyone else and for some reason have no problem showing it. 🤷‍♂️

That’s a story that’s kind of hard to swallow.

Any employee willing to be paid by token or crypto gets what they deserve. The only reason these companies can get away with this crap is because the proletariat are allowing it.

You need a job, and you want it to be exciting; that’s understandable. Maybe you’re trying to break into the industry. Yes, it’s tough. People will tell you that you’ve got to pay your dues or some other “toe the line” bullshit.

People need to realize that companies are not friends, they are a means to an end. And you are their means to an end. They will use you, just like you will use them. If they want you to work pong hours for as little pay as they can get away with, walk away. There are other jobs out there. They may not be glamorous, but they are out there.

Touché 😂

Did the poor little policeman get a juice box and a safety blanket afterwards to take a nap break from the big scarey world after he murdered someone?

Technically yes. It was called an ambulance.

Don’t forget about the NYSE! If that ain’t gambling, then I guess I don’t know what is.

Probably your sister.

~I’ll show myself out.~

*badder english

It’s also useful for stress reduction.

So, you can say, it’s something else? 🤔

None of what you said makes any sense.

This is the equivalent of an anti-vaxxer denouncing vaccines because they feel that their herbs are close enough to real medicine. 🤦‍♂️

Don’t do that. Syntax absolutely matters.

That’s not JSON. Note the use of equal signs for the property names. That’s something else.
