I use IPv6 every day and everywhere I can. It solves so many issues in large corporate and ISP network setups. And yes 10. Wasn’t big enough, and NATing is a PitA.

Honestly we just keep pushing it off when it’s not that bad. Workaround after workaround just because people are lazy.

Last I heard, all the providers in the US are in the “we’re not actively canceling them, but we won’t roll out new ones or fix problems.

I miss POTS. Copper landlines are a thing of the past. Now it’s just VoIP with a battery that doesn’t last long enough and another bill. (And place for scam/telemarketers/junk calls)

Same here. Though it makes sense as we also cut a “release” branch that aid what goes to production and it’s behind protections against rogue PRs/commits so devs can’t just push there, the process must be followed. “Main” is for devs. “Release” is for prod. “Master” didn’t really jive with that layout so it’s gone.

Pretty sure that was exactly the desired use of the tool. Definitely not misused.

Youtube is the second largest Social Network

I never saw it that way I till I saw a report on what the preferred social media platforms for teens… and it was the number one slot at that time. Apparently teens (and others) have entire conversations in the comments, share videos with friends, and doom scroll YouTube.

And I don’t know if you’ve read YouTube comment threads (I don’t usually) but they can get pretty toxic, even on tame content. Not to mention all the FUD and propaganda being distributed there.

As long as they grease the right palms in the US it’s fine.

The only thing I condemn the French inquiry on is that it should have already happened.

They need to NOT have an LLM. Period. I want a light weight, inexpensive, security focused email/docs platform with zero AI.

“Immigrants, we get the job done.”

Instead of building our own clouds, I want us to own the cloud. Keep all of the great parts about this feat of technical infrastructure, but put it in the hands of the people rather than corporations. I’m talking publicly funded, accessible, at cost cloud-services.

I worry that quickly this will follow this path:

• Someone has to pay for it, so it becomes like an HOA of compute. (A Compute Owners Association, perhaps) Everyone contributes, everyone pays their shares
• Now there’s a group making decisions… and they can impose rules voted upon by the group. Not everyone will like that, causing schisms.
• Economies of scale: COA’s get large enough to be more mini-corps and less communal. Now you’re starting to see “subscription fees” no differently than many cloud providers, just with more “ownership and self regulation”
• The people running these find that it takes a lot of work and need a salary. They also want to get hosted somewhere better than someone’s house, so they look for colocation facilities and worry about HA and DR.
• They keep growing and draw the ire of companies for hosting copies of licensed resources. Ownership (which this article says we don’t have anyway) is hard to prove, and lawsuits start flying. The COA has to protect itself, so it starts having to police what’s stored on it. And now it’s no better than what it replaced.

If I was in my 20’s I’d have thought about that 2.5x offer. Now that I’m in my 40’s I can say i wouldn’t even do it for 5x. You can’t buy back missed time, no matter how much money you have.

Part of me says that I’d do it for 20x… but I’d just end up quitting in a few months, take my money and retire early.

I haven’t purchased a new canon in years because my current TS5020 has been a workhorse for years… and I can buy a box with 5 complete sets of 3rd party ink carts (C,M,Y,K & BK) for $15 on Amazon… and they just work.

I’ve heard rumblings that they’re no longer as good, but as long as this continues to work well I’ll keep it. The current printer landscape is a mine field.

So far the only people in the world that think Ukraine has a “Nazi Regime” are the Russians looking for a cover story for their bloody land grabs.

You seem to think democrats give a shit what either Biden did. If there’s evidence of someone being guilty, NO MATTER WHO IT IS, take them to court. No one, absolute No One should be above the law. Same with Trump. Give him a fair Trial. Send him to jail if he’s guilty. Whatever. That’s what we have a line of succession and due process. So Kamala takes over, that’s her job.

I don’t get why MAGA people seem to think that Presidents should be above the law just because people voted for them. They’re not kings. They’re not Gods. They’re normal people. If my chosen football team looses because they’re not playing by the rules, disqualify them. That’s how it’s supposed to work. I won’t be mad at the system because it worked, I’ll be mad at the system if it doesn’t work.

Seriously. MAGA keeps freaking out about Hunter Biden and we couldn’t give a shit either.

It’s almost like we just think people should get what they deserve no matter who they are.

Same. I kinda wonder if it’s saturation… when 5G was first announced and I happened to be in one of the first cities with it on a business trip, and I happen to have just bought a new phone that had it and it was AMAZING. Sites were snappy, it was like I was on my personal wifi.

Ever since it became more widespread, I can rarely tell a difference between LTE and 5G and honestly, If anything, my phone is slower when I see the 5G icon.

I’m sure the board will soon be calling for Elon… to get more money.

Come on man, Speaker phone, video calling, Snapchat, and just the fact that most of them seem to choose text messaging over phone calls.
