Guys, I got the backpack 😭 I love it, it's so cute and also very big. It has 3 big pockets (one of them is for the laptop) and 3 "small" ones. It's perfect

The #Crowdstrike outage is/was ____________.

"Krieg ist ein Zustand, bei dem Menschen aufeinander schießen, die sich nicht kennen, auf Befehl von Menschen, die sich wohl kennen, aber nicht aufeinander schießen." (George Bernhard Shaw) Guten Morgen. Wuff.

i have to add that of course wasting books isn't good, but i'm pretty sure there is either some regulatory shenanigans at play, making it cheaper to just recycle them OR it is really cheaper and thus more effective.

publishers would LOVE to accurately determine how many copies they will sell while keeping people reading these cheap paperbacks happy. trashing the books is costing the publishers money. putting the extra books into recycling at least pays back a bit.

if someone does buy the extra copies for the same amount that would probably be fine as well, but there is a reason these books didn't sell - nobody wanted them in the first place.

one sane person in this thread (suggesting that print on demand could be an option). everyone else just commielarping because "capitalism bad ™️"

note that everyone is talking about the poor poor authors who have to receive moar royalties. not about that the workers producing, transporting, and the workers recycling the books DO get paid. these people only care for their own intelligenzija class.

Crowdstrike software is doing its job beautifully; computers that can't boot can't get hacked :blobcatsmug:

I send an email once a month for work and include a corny joke to get people to actually open it. I saw this one @sundogplanets and thought of you:

As I was driving to work one day, I spotted a woman standing out in a large field next to a telescope. She wasn't using the scope, just standing next to it.

On my way home the same woman is there, just standing in a large field with a telescope.

This scene repeated itself for a few more days, every time I drove past this large field.

“The European Environmental Agency tells us that everything above 55 decibels is making us #sick,” [Dr. Thomas Münzel, a German cardiologist who is a leader in the growing field of scientific researchers measuring the impact of urban and industrial #noise on humans,] says. The fact that the #Granbury #Bitcoin mine is emitting 70 or even 90 decibels on a nightly basis is “like #torture,” he says.

>Several plural forms of Unix are used casually to refer to multiple brands of Unix and Unix-like systems. Most common is the conventional Unixes, but Unices, treating Unix as a Latin noun of the third declension, is also popular. The pseudo-Anglo-Saxon plural form Unixen is not common, although occasionally seen. Sun Microsystems, developer of the Solaris variant, has asserted that the term Unix is itself plural, referencing its many implementations.
