not saying there shouldn't be debates or people shouldn't be exposed to different opinions, but there's a time and place and like blind siding someone who could've had a rough day and just wants some memes is not the time
we all know how stressful it is so less makes this place as stress free as possible!

@goodleftyfundies You sure? I'm looking at their site now and they still have an option to buy directly from them. They even have dropbox and delivery-by-email options.

@natecull @deejoe @enkiv2 I used to sneer at Excel and Access. It didn't bother me that they were programmable by non-programmers. It bothered me that when the time came to migrate to a "proper solution", meaning one where the data was kept inside a RDBMS instead of Excel or Access, actually getting the data out of Excel/Access and presenting it to users in a way that wouldn't confuse them was like pulling teeth. Users never wanted to migrate anyway, but management always insisted...

Given a choice between #basicincome and #jobgurantees, I'll take #basicincome. I'm not interested in working a government-issued bullshit job.

There are lots of articles that are probably worth reading, but out of reach because of Medium's paywall.
Yes, I can pierce it, but if Medium doesn't have you on the payroll as a staff writer, you shouldn't be writing for them and helping to make Ev Williams richer. That asshole is rich enough already.
Instead, consider posting anonymously on https://write.as or http://txti.es/.

I succeeded in #writing almost 600 words tonight using nothing but ed(1), the same line editor Ken Thompson used to write the original Unix.
One sentence per line.
A blank line in between paragraphs.
No going back to edit previous lines.
We call ed(1) the standard Unix editor, but it might be better to call it the standard text composer.

57% of tech workers are burned out. I bet half of the rest are lying to themselves.
And yet we still don't have an effective trade union.

I've had people try to contact me via my wife's Facebook account because I quit and she didn't.
When this happens, I ask my wife to let me borrow her device and write something like this:
"This is Matthew, using Catherine's account. I have a website and a publicly accessible email address. Stop trying to reach me through my wife. She is not my secretary, and she's even less interested in your bullshit than I am."

You remember how I talked about making Pelican emit #ActivityPub data that could eventually be consumed by a POSSE daemon that understood ActivityPub and connected with the rest of the Fediverse?
I've got it working on my personal website.

And the outbox…

Here's my implementation. You can use it as a reference when getting other generators to emit ActivityPub.

Whenever I hear somebody unironically request/suggest/demand that politics be kept out of tech, they usually mean politics different from their own. They don't mind having their own politics inform their technical decisions, assuming they're even aware of the influence their own politics has on their technical decision-making.

@bobstechsite Your ISP is probably using DNS to spy on you. Host your own.

Richard Stallman is saying what @dredmorbius has been saying for a long time now. Data is dangerous, and should not be collected unless absolutely necessary.

@CobaltVelvet The technical reason is that Bethesda Softworks developers drink on the job and don't give a fuck is the game crashes for weird reasons because they get paid whether the game works or not, and they get paid the same no matter how well the game sells.

@lnxw48a1 IMO, Lynda is useless. I can read faster than these people can talk.
