literally

Okay, so we know you're 35 or 40 from the millennial signal.

You could be just getting old. You've lived long enough to have firm opinions and - more importantly - expectations. These are not being met, and you are coping less as your pragmatism wanes a bit with neuroplasticity.

But entertainment has gone a little shitty. Social media is a cancer on global communication, even as it offers the same. We're communicating now, so there's benefit, but the algorithm has definitely ruined us.

I say both.

...and it's gorgeous.

The pancake truck is parked outside daily, but never open when I was there. This is religion inaccessible to the people even in viking paradise.

Parisians will never stop complaining about québécois.

Because Paris French has a group keeping it consistent, whereas Quebecois has no regulation and it's just driven by vapid famewhores making idiot memes popular (just like English).

I worked with someone in Ottawa who was from France. She went to Gatineau (Quebec), and tried to order a cheeseburger. They could not communicate effectively in French and had to both switch to English. The struggle is not imagined.

Also, My high-school French was Quebecois, but my Uni-level French was Caribbean. I cannot speak Quebecois any more even more than I can barely speak French any longer.

If they kill oracle, will that kill the last Unix after IBM stole the parent OS of Solaris and put it into Novell's oubliette to reduce competition?

Hey now. Fully 1/3 of Americans are currently being held hostage in a fascist regime. We should be ready for refugees, and treat them accordingly. They don't need our denigration on top of their daily struggles.

But I hope he can find the period key.

You've barely worked yourself into a lather.

Amateurs who can't be trusted with a glock 43 maybe shouldn't have a glock 19.

The civilian operations

should be very small. Hunters and gun-clutchers.

ha! "almost two decades ago"?

I held one in my hands in 1991, and I think that's a little more than 'almost two decades' ago!

All content is upsetting to someone.

Many commenters would self-censor, at best, toward a "common man" kind of shock tolerance. This doesn't help those people who need trigger warnings for way more.

I can't see how to resolve that vast gulf.

And the rest of us boycott in solidarity.

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?
