I'm sure he'll wear this as a badge of honour, so that's a backfire for sure.

What? Oh no, I had not written down the recipe for using gasoline to cook my spaghetti! Whatever shall I do?

I've spent the last 4 months living this. Thank you I hate it.

EDIT: Actually my entire career, but most painfully the last 4 months. I hate it. And, yet, I must eat, so I endure.

To be fair, it could be the Metropolis gal too.

Bwahahaha. I really hope the fire sales on properties he is forced to offer are severely underbid by all potential buyers. Make him eat the losses over and over again. Karmic reflection of the fraudulent over-valuing he always did, and reversing some of the money-laundering he did for all the shady foreign agents through those properties.

Gee, no one could have predicted that AI might be dangerous if given access to nukes.

Yeah, you're right, Fuck em.

FYI I'm currently on 4001-8000 of the 'Great 78 Collection'. Looks like I'll need about 6TB to get it all, yikes! (Just the VBR MP3 files, not the FLACs. Holy Hell.)

If everyone would take blocks of it, say 4000 each, we can eventually create torrents for each one or something so it can all be reassembled if/when the IA has to take it down.

In Canada, at least when I was younger, there was a sort of hierarchy of post-secondary institutions, named honestly for their mandates: Technical Institutes, Colleges, Universities, ranging from good, focused, short-term (1-2yr max) trades education, to somewhat white-collar education and business training (2-3 years) without little to no research focus, to full-on graduate/post-graduate tracks (4 yrs undergrad BsC/BEd etc. and beyond) doing the typical research expected of Universities.

If this "University" has truly cut out anything considered arts/humanities or "liberal arts", then they should be required to drop the facade and just call themselves a tech institute or something.

Think about the ecological waste of these things going into the landfill when they could last 2-3x longer if they were just designed a bit better.

Everywhere I've ever been,

If it's lower than "High" or "2", it's as good as "backlog" :)

(There can never be a priority "1" and seldom "Highest", never "Blocker", otherwise the CEO gets a text or something.)

Her and RBG. Sheesh, realize you're mortal and that there are implications to overstaying your office.

Maximum age laws for ALL government positions, now. And make it 65, if it's good enough for us poors, they should have to abide by the same age limit.

Hi, just found this community. The inaugural post here showing a desk top full of miscellaneous boards reminded me of the random bits I have in boxes, stored away and not being hacked on like they should be :/

I wonder if there would be interest here in a sort of swap-by-mail thing where we post boards or parts we feel bad about not using and swap them for other things, that we might want to use instead.. maybe an MCU dev kit for some sensors, or a even box of nice cookies if the hacking spirit is snoozing right now (as it is for me -- so many other things in life to do at the moment...)

I find it actually harder to focus on doing a project because there are too many bits in my boxes sometimes.

I think the idea of donating bits to schools for students to use would be cool as well, but haven't looked into it much (would they get used? Which schools have good programs with teachers that could actually use donations?)

Hi, I like Jerboa so far, new user. One thing I miss from the desktop lemmy UI is a way to see all my subscriptions (of 'favourites') in a list, to quickly tap and jump to a particular one. Is this somewhere hidden in the current UI, or an upcoming feature?

Thanks, I appreciate the work!
