did you say

1. grandma smashed an overhead at her sister,
2. she forgot (alzheimer?)
3. she yelled “get fucked”
4. ???
5. now your parents are dead inside your house?

i’m sorry to hear that.

but how did they die? and what about your aunt?

idgaf about superhero movies normally but imho the next Joker should be orange

it’s a complex ritual asserting

• power: he won’t smack you but the length of the microphone means it would hurt
• dominance: he’s always holding the microphone up,
• influence: the cord connects him all the way back to the production team and if he whips it they will dance

also, he ain’t give a f https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py805hYfopw

ow worse. you’ve been waiting for years to be able to finally get rid of the legacy circle logic that keeps you pinned on old versions of everything. you got the confirmation from the PM.

you explained to them carefully and patiently how much the spread over many shapes is slowing you down, and you also acknowledged that you can keep doing that, or you could invest a bit into architectural changes that would make it more bearable, and you got the response: i understand, it’s not worth it, let’s finally have balls and deprecate the circles once and forever.

so with the feeling of wind in your back, you clean up your abstractions, simplify your logic, streamline your pipelines. and you finally get around to implementing some of the features that were just too hard to do safely with the obsolete pieces in place.

and then… you see another fucking circle again and then you just die inside.

neither but I had a colleague with an annoying habit of being disgruntled about “the news about us moving to circles now”, even though all he saw was just one circle and there was obviously still more triangles than circles, and the last item would still be a triangle.

you seem to be pretty defensive about nothing (imaginary blame) all over this thread.

i hope you are ok.

swing around the top

i don’t think it’s physically possible but as a kid, the idea of that scared the shit out of me. we used to swing each other with my friend and once swung me “too hard” and i started crying and become a bit more suspicious of him. (ofc he did not mean bad and he immediately stopped, he was (still is! although we’ve departed cos my family had to move) a great guy, although he might not fully understand why i’m so scared of something that’s actually so much fun)

i had many of such fears. of things that would be physically impossible but i saw them somewhere in a cartoon or someone say a joke and suddenly i realized that while it was probably a joke I don’t know that it can’t be possible to some extent

people think that to be a nerd is a choice, but sometimes it’s the only way to stay sane.

true but not sure how relevant. it’s not like we can choose between encryption and being wealthy beyond all necessity. (or is there some hidden about:config setting?)

idk but his son wanting his “departure” is not the flex he thinks it is.

my brain went to “and suddenly it turns out the man is not a man but a bunny”, now i’m disappointed

wanting to advertise for the little guy in general is kind of pointless, it feels good until you realize that in a healthy ecosystem there are just always going to be more little guys–the middle guys are selected from larger pool and the big ones are selected from larger pool of the middle guys … it’s the evolution. and evolution is all about niches and being good enough.

the kind of link lists linked in the OP are actually awesome, but they are best served in larger number and in context. especially, if eg. i see someone make an insightful post or article and turns out the same person has a list of links, then it’s usually a treasure trove of more posts, articles, insights and even projects and communities. and yes, if i gave the link list to my mom it would be completely counter-productive, regardless of whether someone is a “little guy” or not. the littleness is not the point, the relevancy is.

and sure you could make link lists that are assorted ranging topics with the main criterion “the author found it interesting and want to share it and/or come back later to it”, and while some of that cake is eaten by micro-blogging sites like mastodon or bluesky (esp. the sharing and quick discussion). outright simple, structured lists also have own kind of charm.

i know, right?

if only there was a way to tell other people about these websites in … some kind of an … internet forum. and if the forum was on a nice, not too bot-infested, privacy-respecting, free, distributed and federated platform. that would be cool. one can wish…

keeping all these containers up to date

Updates are a good way to get the security holes fixed, but unfortunately it’s also often how the holes get in in the first place.

I mean, for most projects it’s kind of sensible to assume that over long time, the code will become rather more secure and less buggy, so eventually the pros/cons might come out in favor of a strategy of updating every time. But it’s good to know that every update is inherently a double edged sword.

That’s why I like the model that distros like Debian do: they keep the code stable for long time, and only send updates for which a typically independent party (package maintainer) has already decided that a given update indeed is a necessary bugfix, or even specifically a security fix. Similar policy of course could be applied to a Docker container as well, but I don’t know how many projects do this, and it would be a per-project policy, most probably not quite independent.

people are still allowed to voice opinions

now fix the shitty client on appletv

is not an opinion, it’s just being a jerk
