Serious question: what if I am, and have no idea how to prep for it?
My pension and other things are tied up in stocks and such, if there's a crash coming I'd think cash under the pillow would be better than stocks. But how do you do that, with your pension?
Didn't think one was needed.
It does need to be Internet connected. It's critical for patching remote exploit vulnerabilities...
I don't know you but I love you for that Palatino statement. I've used it since forever (ie. back when Macs were black and white) and just love the curves of the italic style. These days, on Linux, I use Tex Gyre Pagella for basically all my documents.
For UI like menus and such, I'm quite nostalgic for the Chicago font - yes, pixelated and aliased and everything.
Agreed on your last point. That's when programs still had proper tool bars and keyboards shortcuts, before the "ribbon" shit started to fuck over everyone's muscle memory.
It would have made sense for MS to start with "finger painting UI" and then work towards the power user UI - but the other way round makes zero sense to my poor brain.
This is what I call "confidently wrong". If you ask it about things you have no clue about, it seems incredibly well-informed and insightful. Ask it something you know deeply, and you'll easily see it's just babbling and spouting nonsense - sure makes you wonder about those earlier statements it made, doesn't it?
The digital national ID is not corporate or government snooping. If you believe it is, I don't think this conversation can continue. What it is, is what's needed to log into your doctors system to schedule an appointment, or the schools system to read updates about your kids, or to log into your online banking. All of that, and more, in my country, is using the same ID system, which won't work on a rooted android phone (at least, I haven't been able to make it work for the past 3-4 major versions).
Yes but do they support the digital national ID and SSO apps that are (only) avaliable for android and apple? Until they do, a lot of users are going to be locked into those two big OS vendors. 😞
That is depressingly insightful. See also: the internal war on everyone who isn't a middle-aged white cis het man (and even some of them, too). Just negativity all around.
What really brings me down it's the certainty that even if that is guy was suddenly not there anymore, there is a whole gaggle of like folk ready to continue that same rhetoric. How do you even dig yourselves out of that?
I have commented stuff like this before, and gotten it deleted (or gotten summarily banned). I have been searching for spaces where this sort of discourse is even allowed, where non-vagina-havers get to say that many men suck but it's not only their fault and they certainly can't fix it in a vacuum.
What mates you think I was overkill to replace a ceo?
🙂 Thank you for bringing up a fun memory.
Just one data point, but my ex wife would take a deep breath every time she was in a parking garage because she really liked that smell.
