You can bet they won’t now.

Nice #TheFrontFellOff homage

Popularity in the news doesn’t equate to reality, any more than everyone saying “5 emails” makes it correct to do so. It just means it’s popular in the news because it sells more ad time.

there are complete ansible-repos

Ansible is toxic. Anything else?

My nephew’s initials are b.o.m.b unintentionally.

He’s the bomb.

“gnarly” still exists as a word for convoluted or fouled.

“Bray” is the verb for a donkey making noise.

The more I type about it, the less “psych” looks like a valid English word.

…because the word is ‘psyche’: “I psyched him out.”

I think it’s Greek origin, and it’s like “psychology”.

For sure. And their bumbling has made it harder to deactivate all the useless bloat and get the good web-editor back. And a host of other mind-numbingly short-sighted decisions that show they’re fully run by LostBoy coders who were never mentored and just don’t know better.

But tuning can come after. And their CI is way fucking better than forgejo’s facepalm of a GitHub clone. And that’s a thin reason, but, yeah.

It’s monstrous, but gitlab installs from one big RPM on a base box; and with one config file you’re up.

Those $2-mil missiles add up fast.

most of the world have Android

Heck, most of the Known Universe. This is how I say it to my fanboy sibling who moves those goalposts just so only America is in-frame and the numbers show a small advantage for the Home Team.

It’s called the universal operating system for a reason.

If they call themselves that, it really doesn’t count. It’s like how trump ended like 10 wars to get his FIFA peace medal.

yearslong

That a big slong.

I wish journalists remembered the 4th-grade and hyphenation. Then again, the nitwit pluralizes mass nouns like “e-mail” with an S, so…

Canada rejoices when our gas is only at us$5/gal.

Canada V3L. Transit is amazing, but only when it’s train-based.

I loved the MTA and PATH when I was there.

If my rough calculations are correct, we’d love to have gas prices that are only 50% higher than that. 🇨🇦

sysadmin work for an public institution or so where people are only bullshitting their jobs.

About half my career and part of my current contract load is to a public organization of one type or another. But I’ve been half and half anyway.

Dotcom is a wasteland of gunners/pluggers and wageslaves, none of them afforded enough time to get anything complete and good. Public orgs with union contracts employ people with a good life balance and the freedom to do a great job about 95% of the time, after the layers of regulations are met.

I found slackers at both types of org: the public slacker is a hapless clod whose tasks all get reassigned and he really doesn’t do much. He’s about 3% of the workforce. The dotcom slacker is a harried guy muddling through something he’s not trained for, with no help since his peers have their own KPIs, hoping like fuck he can get Project Grapefruit done by next Town Hall meeting lest he be voted off the island. Again, 3%.

The public org is great people who’ve done this work effectively their entire career. They’re astoundingly good at it, and are still energized by the work and the educational programmes. Dotcoms have no training and the few people who make it past 2 years are likely PIPped by year 4 because of the “fresh talent” policy

I envy the public org people. I miss my non-work life sometimes.

it looks like that is not gonna happen.

It is if we avoid products and people associated with this. Warn the people.

But I don’t live in California and my people are petty as fuck. Try to buy a coke in Newfoundland for the last 40 years.
