If nails were standardised then yeah all this would be overkill. But new nails and heck, wood types are coming out all the time, and you definitely can’t build a spice rack with the wrong tools.

I love how Tobias immediately knows.

“The game? What game? Admire the sheer beauty of this bold and majestic man.”

For real. I just spent a decade in academia working dog hours with little pay keeping services running wondering how the true devs and sysadmins do it.

I recently switched to the corporate world and have peeked behind curtain of competency: headless chickens running around, patching failing products rather than spending time to properly fix them because immediate results are the only metric that counts.

Stability, scalability, reproducibility? Forget it, that’s someone else’s problem apparently.

Its also one you don’t have any agency over.

(I’m living under the dreamful pretence that the american people can hold their intelligence agencies at least somewhat in check)

My HP is genuinely a creepy laptop. In the BIOS is a an “HP remote setting” as well as 3 other remote modes all at the bios level asking to join my wifi, again, at the BIOS level.

I work from my home laptop. I have a small offline private network between my work laptop and home laptop that I send ansible jobs to (since the work laptop is a powerful machine), but that work laptop does not touch the internet.

Genuinely. Is crack what the upper classes do, or is that coke?

I was going to write a snarky comment about how that can’t possibly be true… but then I tried it, and well, yep, really not ideal for non-tiling window managers. I liked the general look and feel, but the fullscreen by default does seem to be a big “no” from me.

I don’t think the sarcasm is warranted here, it offers a standard interface too but augments it with split browsing as an option

You say “potato” I say “caroto”

That’s it, let’s re-write the entire backend in C++ to make use of multiple inheritance to tackle this one use-case!

What do you mean “this is overkill”? Do you have any idea how many tomatoes go into a fucking salad!?

Workaround: Potato peeler extends peeler, so just cast your carrots as potatoes before you peel them, and then cast them back to carrot afterwards

Ah I see, thanks for the context
