Depends.

This here being the shitpost community, my skill certainly greatly exceeds yours in this case…

My lactose intolerant guts are already about to explode just by looking at it…

Instant surprise switch to nonexistence after my kids are grown up and have their own lifes would be totally fine.

Preferrably in synchronization with the life partner.

It’s not the being dead that’s the problem, it’s all the nasty stuff connected to the transition process.

Well, better than the other way around:
Code works perfectly on your test device but breaks down when deployed to field devices with slightly different timing characteristics or whatever.

Bonus points if it only occurs every few weeks, preferably at night shift and crashes a whole production line… 🫣

(Incident totally fictitious, definitely no people out of this thread involved, just move on, really nothing to see here!)

No, quite definetly not.
At least not in the role of a journalist.
Private vacation would be ok for most.

Probably all the dark red ones on the RSF index, and for me personally also all of the dark orange ones (yeah, I guess I am a coward… but there are reasons l am not a journalist…):

Happy debugging if it works on the second try… 😬

Same l wouldn’t visit as a conservative journalist?

Meaning countries that have a problem with the concept of journalism and free press.

The “leftist” in the question really doesn’t make a difference.

Out of curiosity and as the comic might reference a similar tale:

Do you folks all know the fable of the hare and the hedgehog?

(or sth. in a similar fassion, e.g. the hare and the tortoise?)

Must have been living during a different 2000s than you…

Progress was crazy during the 00s.

In 2000 we still had clunky stationary computing only, in most cases without or only with modem speed online access.
Photography still was analog, music came on huge, physically fragile silver discs.
By 2010, wireless always-on access had become ubiquitous, fully digitalized private life for most.

Everything coming after 2010 feels like almost complete stagnation in comparison.

Only exception: recent generative AI technology. And l am not sure if I am happy about that…

That’s one interpretation… ;-)

“co.uk” TLD … I assumed it to be a British site?

Here we are, in a strange world where I have to count fucking a*******s to find out, if the P***S said “bitches” or “bastards” in his latest social media post. Or wait, maybe he said “butchers”, or perhaps “bollards”…

It’s a god-damned direct quote and the distinction what the asshole in the W***e H***e exactly said is kinda important.
So why is something like this censored on a news site?

Mine was the first Falcon game!

Also, my first Linux distro in 1997 came on CD and had a nice Linux introduction book l still used as a quick reference years after l had moved on to newer releases.

l am pretty sure he talks about pre-online times (which were also largely pre-home-console times).

The instruction manual of my first bought game, a flight simulator on the Atari ST, was basically a printed pilot crash course.

I also had some thick copied instruction folders from the more… unconventional acquired games, often because the copy protection was like: “Enter the 5th word of the 13th line on page 54!”.

Speaking as someone who has been living in towns with rivers for most of my life:

This is the way.

My experience clearly says that you will loose orientation and get confused the moment you go to a district that is not alligned with the riverbank.

“Just because the source is now ‘available’ *DOES NOT MEAN IT IS OPEN SOURCE*. You are violating a license if you copy or redistribute the source code, or use their prompts in your next project! Don’t do that"

Don’t worry, we will just use an LLM to slightly rephrase the code before using and redistributing it, so that copyright doesn’t apply any more.

That’s what LLMs are there for, after all.

I’m not entirely sure l want to know the story behind this… ;-)

Personally, I prefer sauerkraut.
Complete culinary taste fireworks!

Really?
l always assumed it was for deposing of the dark cream holders after you had licked it of.
