It's a little sad that people have realised this late that #windows is horrible, but it's never too late to switch to a better operating system. Switch to #Linux today! It respects your privacy and has so much choice.

A COBOL programmer, tired of the bug chaos in the legacy codebase, decides to have themselves cryogenically frozen to skip the whole mess. Years later, they're thawed out.

"Did I sleep through?" they ask.

"It's the year 9999," the scientists replied, "And we need you to fix some legacy code from 2000, which is still in production ."

we laugh but CEOs like do exist today.

NOTE TO LITERALLY THE ENTIRE INTERNET:

No thought is ever complete. There will always be holes to fill!

RESIST THE URGE TO FILL THOSE HOLES

If someone has said something which you largely agree with, especially if what they said aligns with your understanding of and goals towards an issue, then the LAST thing they need from you is someone playing devil's advocate. Nitpicking is annoying at best and, in a world where people are looking to drive wedges between allies, dangerous at worst.

so google spied on its users in incognito mode AND sold the information off, and they're planning to kill adblockers, and people still won't use firefox. ridiculous

China: “Remove all VPNs”
Apple: “Sure thing”

China: “…and podcast apps”
Apple: “Can do boss!”

China: “…and also hand over all iCloud data for our citizens”
Apple: “I mean why wouldn’t we? Here you go!”

EU: “Allow alternate app stores, and do it fairly”
Apple: “Ahhh hell no! This is so unfair you guys are bullies! Malware! Privacy! We have standards! Unlike you we care about our users!”

Don't forget to indulge in a few real luxuries this weekend 😸

I saw this online somewhere and I just had to recreate it. This is my coding happy place.

Fine, don't allow the Red Cross into Gaza then. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/red-cross-says-its-not-playing-any-part-in-delivering-medicine-to-hostages-in-gaza/

It's true that anti-Semitism significantly decreased since the Holocaust, but that's not because people magically became nicer; it's because our political and educational leaders became less anti-Semitic after the horrors of the holocaust. Now that the vast majority of young people are having their political opinions shaped by social media and TikTok especially, that is going to change.

Good news to break the mess of the past day: Work on federating #Forgejo is ongoing. We are now one step closer to federated stars: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/1680

Federation is a key to resilient networks. We are looking forward to it.

This is definitely going to be included in my next programming workshop 🤣
