The type of software that exists only to create a cottage job industry of people who know how to use it.

I just use Jellyfin for this too, not sure I follow the issue but I haven’t used Plex since migrating

Once he forgot to take his phone to the toilet

“ah sorry, I must have missed it because you’re not in my VIPs”

I have no VIPs :-)

Does Walmart even wear a suit? A lot of people are saying they don’t. Good people

Blaming the perceived “center” for the onward journey of the right further and further to the right is, frankly, pretty lazy writing.

No-one was changing their politics because a bunch of upper middle class armchair complainers voiced some banal opinions on identity politics, revealing that they were, in fact, fairly right wing all along. Lo and behold one of the key signatories now supports a literal genocide. So intellectual, many thoughtful.

I noticed that Arduino are using it for the 2.0 of their IDE. I guess a big part of the benefit here is providing a workbench base for different types of IDE with different goals, similarly to Eclipse.

Not a million miles away from VSC’s extension model but it allows deeper customisation which is fantastic for embedded hardware and software houses that need that deep integration without dealing with vendor lock in.

Oh I wasn’t implying you were! My ire is directed entirely at RM for their mismanagement.

Someone defined the process at some point though, and often it’s documented. I’ve worked at several banks and large financial institutions and have had plenty of people tell me “I don’t know how X works” but never “Nobody knows how X works”.

I currently work at a bank and I’m yet to encounter anything that someone couldn’t at least send me documentation for, however apocryphal.

The problem here is that it’s fairly clear that the post office allowed Fujitsu to both define and implement the processes such that they are not compelled to provide the blueprint for them as part of the contract and they are now held to ransom over it.

This is the kind of colossal fuck up that heads should roll for, no less so as it is happening in the shadow of one of the biggest corruption scandals in British history.

Crucial code doesn’t exist, all code is disposable mess that tries to mimic a real world process; and it sounds like the post office fucked up by not even knowing how their own processes work in practice.

Their best option here would be to revert to pen and paper until they figure out how the hell they actually make money.

In the meantime, fire the board and exec team for not meeting their most basic fiduciary duties.

Can I just tell everyone around this table that I just took an enormous sh-t before coming in here?

This sounds like some poorly thought out power play bullshit that he came up with on the way to work while listening to his alphabro affirmations playlist. What a loser.

long run

This is the crux of the problem when losing funding like this

I mean, JD Vance certainly helped me realise the weakness of flesh

Describing the outcomes in terms of functions over shell states, as you have, is the quickest and most transparent way of demonstrating that they aren’t the same.

The article was a fun “scenic route” to the same conclusion, though.

The problem is that the amount is probably wrong by the time I finish writing the sentence. The only solution is to burn Tesla dealerships at a fast enough rate to cause a profit/loss equilibrium so we can report it correctly.

Damn, with solutions like these maybe I should just go work for DOGE

Once again, I jest.

I know, but he has $200b in assets, so it’s hard to feel too bad for him

I know right, this is gender we’re talking about naming here! Not one of Elon’s children

Oh so you’re saying the companies are not altruistic? I’d agree. I thought you were saying that the people making the FOSS were not being altruistic.

How does a corporation using it obstruct independent developers from using it under the same license? I don’t see a compelling case for them being mutually exclusive
