That’s just sophistry. You can’t kill people who never existed in the first place.

It was supposed to be fiction. It was supposed to be fiction. It was supposed to be fiction.

So, Sweden?

We have found him: Debian Sid.

That’s nice, but also inaccurate in my case. I was at a point where I didn’t give a rat’s ass about my employment there. The most experienced veterans had quit because they weren’t getting a fair salary, and new personnel (hired at a starting salary of 1.5 times that of the veterans) were absolute morons that I and others had to train. Management was also doubled in size in my final year, but at the cost of moving even more people (the experienced ones) away from the production floor. The place was in a nosedive and I was ready to jump out and watch the flames from a distance.

So no, I wasn’t the voice of reason, I was the voice of not giving a fuck.

At my previous job, I was often criticised for pointing out the obvious weaknesses and failure points of new ideas. I always made sure to remind the project’s owner when it inevitably failed, and that they shouldn’t have ignored the doomsayer in the room. The best part is that they couldn’t fire me because I was a competent worker during a shortage caused by the pandemic.

Color management ensures accurate and identical color reproduction across display devices. It’s extremely important for artists and designers, and its absence in Wayland is a deal breaker for them.

I also lost partitions (ESP and C:) during my move to a Linux-only setup, except it was because of Windows Update. On ya, Microsoft!

The tariffs will have to be paid by someone, and distributors will not take a hit on account of the idiot pumpkin, so it will be shifted to the end user.

Right now is a pretty good time to upgrade. Both Intel and AMD have shown their hands in the CPU market and I can personally attest to the performance of AMD’s X3D CPUs. Older models with the AM4 socket will become cheaper, and AM4 motherboards are plentiful.

Just one more cryptocurrency and we’ll break free from the banks

I call it “insurance against corporate-sanctioned theft”

I was ready to have a rant about PHP. Well played.

Realistically, the Bible is a compilation of cherry-picked stories ranging from historical fiction to high fantasy, written by dudes who weren’t alive at the time, in a language nobody speaks anymore, translated a dozen times, losing important historical and grammatical context each time, with parts added/removed/rewritten at the ruling political and religious leaders’ fancy. I want to read the version where a Bethlehem resident wanted to confirm Mary’s post-natal virginity by hand, but the pope won’t let me.

zombie Jesus broke the rules

Even living Jesus broke the rules. According to the fanfic gospel of John, Lazarus was dead for four days before Jesus resurrected him. It’s where the line “Jesus wept” comes from.

not have headlights turned on

Running lights, not headlights. Different things both practically and legally.

Yesterday I was paying attention specifically to the front lights of cars. Almost all cars that had license plates registered in the last ten years also had independent running lights. Mostly in the form of a white LED strip around or under the headlight cover, an element built into the headlight (e.g. a ring around the main lens in BMWs), or annoyingly, a separate amber-colored light that I often mistake for a turning signal.

Legally, running lights might not even exist at all where I live. Traffic laws (and common sense) require proper headlights to be used in any kind of reduced visibility condition.

Modern cars also tend to have daytime running lights that are switched on automatically when the ignition is turned on, and are meant purely for visibility.

Even worse is that there have been several episodes with that message. Many of the Geordi-focused episodes, and the woman who couldn’t live in normal gravity in DS9.
