Government employees have more responsibilities than normal US citizens. If he was hiding someone he was derelict in that responsibility and sending the law after him is completely reasonable.

Right so why would you do anything difficult like the hard labor required to maintain infrastructure?

Everything you create should be in git or similar. All this value added crap is an unprofessional hack and should be treated as such. The lack of compassion comes from those of us who know how to use computers correctly getting tired of b

Right but now the rest of the people have no reason to pay taxes so you're going to be printing money for everything.

I was told it was to make it hard for people using needles to find their vanes. It turns out it's just the phosphor coating coming apart. The LEDs used to energize that to make the broad spectrum light are usually blueish purple for ma

Even the palm pilot with its ridiculously tiny screen and bad touch ditigizer managed CUA-style menus. Mobile UI design isn't about making things more understandable, it's about getting the user into a helpless and suggestible sta

What kind of idiot would work for free and pay taxes when they could work on their side project for free, use UBI for rent, and not pay taxes? Probably not the industrious and productive kind I'm sure.

I don't use toast notifications at all (I don't have a phone) but frequently use regex searches on my mailbox to find things. My work computer is a mac though so as I said, it's insane and I get to just suffer.

So was the Blackberry. Better radios and mobile SOCs absolutely changed that. Mathias Wandel (an ex Blackberry engineer) has a neat video where he explains exactly how that happened and the attitudes are strikingly similar to the ones today

I tell people to email me and for the spastics that can't handle that I have jmp.chat set up so they can send SMS/MMS to my email.

Mine is a corporate style # rectangle but instead of legal crap it just says "msgodel's laptop/vps/robot/whatever\n Be Nice!"

Political stuff tends to sink quickly for a number of reasons. I don't think its censorship. For a little while a few years ago a lot of people got banned for talking about politics too much and that's calmed down now. If anything

Good morning can be nice for that but if you actually have something to say make it the first part of the same message as the content. Saying Hello or good morning and then spending multiple minutes composing your actual message while I&#x2

Regex is enough of a language model to deal with this, no need for LLMs. On a sane operating system you would be able to suppress notifications with a regex match but most consumer operating systems are no longer sane.

Matrix is crap. If you want a serious alternative use XMPP with OMEMO or just use Email.

Hello was invented for phone conversations. It doesn't make sense if the conversation isn't verbal.

The consequence is that the workplace is a sterile no mans land and you're better off remote. Like I said: if being there were actually meaningful it might make sense to be there.

I think it's already starting. Apple can't produce anything people just have to have anymore because of the attitude that's causing this. You can see this in their sales numbers.

I think the demand for this will actually kill closed ecosystems like iOS. I feel strongly enough about this that I'm shorting Apple over it. They won't be able to get it right because every integration will have to be canned whil

A lot of people don't realize they have a decent amount of negotiating power as employees. Early on in my career I assumed I had no power right up until my employer asked me to do something like this. I told them no and after some nast

We fought an entire civil war to free the blacks, they're more free here than in many places in Africa. We preceded most countries with giving women rights and even many of the most misogynist people here want them to have more rights

I'm not necessarily saying it's bad, I'm saying it could be (likely is) the cause of the problem. Maybe it's worth the cost. I don't think it is but a lot of people seem to think tolerating that is an absolute mor
