I’m not with 2degrees, but I’ve always just rung up support and gone “turn it off please” and then spent what feels like 15 minutes explaining why.

Worked with 4 providers across 2 countries. So pretty good odds.

Yes, a real bank.

But not really safeguarded. New Zealand doesn’t do deposit protection like the FDIC.

To be fair to be fair, our clown show of a government want to sell off Kiwibank.

Breath of the Wild and moreso Tears of the Kingdom.

Not bad games. But not Zelda games.

BoTW did not play into the metroidvania that I felt defined a Zelda game. Plus it lent on the “sim rpg” style of eating, cooking, durability, etc.

Then ToTK just felt like a gimmicky cash grab. Copy paste terrain, “gadget building” straight out of some steam early access game.

Ultimately, both games felt like a hodgepodge of stolen concepts, slapped together. And the adoration that they received just makes me hate them more.

My favourite (that I saw a human do) was asserting on unconstrained mocks with a typo (so they always asserted true)

Hundreds of tests. Not exactly pointless as they did call the code so maybe caught some issues. But we fixed the typo and barely half of them passed.

No idea how the software worked, but it did.

Yay! Cuntdown and unusedworld pooworld are back!

Given the way things are looking. This is probably going to be the best policy announcement of the entire season.

Why aren’t they pushing the numbers more? A tax cut for most, and an additional 5bn in tax take sounds like a win. Yet it’s buried at the end of a PDF.

0. Uncheck the “I am in California checkbox”

This is awesome.

They’ve called out the exploitation of our data, and built a platform to address it.

10/10

Could be anything.

Something decides it’s going to fill your disk up with noise and plex enters a crash loop as it can’t write to disk any more.

Your reverse proxy decides it’s not going to issue valid SSL certificates so all your plex clients refuse to connect.

One day an OS update decides your network configuration wasn’t important, and your OS throws a shit fit because there’s no route to 192.168.1.100 any more

Not OP. But i do the same.

I have multiple proxmox hosts, running multiple VMs, each running containers.

I do it so I can minimise disruption. Fixing a fault in immich doesn’t mean the house is without plex for a week.

Unfortunately can’t codify how platforms work soecifically into law.

But you could possibly explicitly make companies liable for promoting “detrimental” content. Then define “promoting” as something like “surfacing content to a user beyond the reach of the users immediate network. Ie algorithmic suggestions or advertising”

Exactly.

The outsourcing supply countries have had over a decade now of working on and around large commercial software platforms.

They have knowledge of their customers needs and the capabilities of the platforms.

Yet how many of them are western owned, and how many are eastern owned?

If 1.4 billion Indians can’t make a corporate-ready viable rip off of SAP in 10 years, AI isn’t going to either.

The new anti-ai thing on the images host seems to be broken?

I get stuck in a refresh loop.

The UK system is a means tested credits for families that private companies can claim.

Still only for a narrow age range, and limited hours, but means they don’t have to compete with “free”, and families that need more hours can get it while also getting the subsidy.

It’s probably true.

Think of it with this alternate headline:

Spotify reclassifies what constitutes a good developer

And no doubt, they’re capturing what these “good developers” do to better train the clanker to make the “bad developers” redundant.

The crunch of the toast vs the softness of the bread. The saltiness and richness of the butter against the spice of the pepper.

It’s got contrast across two food metrics! Beats the shit out of PB&Js, and you don’t get peanut fragments stuck in your teeth.

It’s poverty food (for when butter didn’t cost $20/kg), but it’s not half bad.

My gripe with wayland is how it made desktop environments less composable.

With x11 you could sort of mix and match your DE and WM. I could have all the “it just works” everyday computing from Gnome/KDE/xfce/whatever, and the workflow-boost from a Tiling WM. In some cases, making it work was a bodge but it worked.

Now, with Wayland, your WM is effectively your DE. It’s now a constant choice of “do I want tiling? Or do I want to print something, or be able to change my resolution, or to plug a USB stick and mount it without remembering the arcane incantations”.

I just want to be able to print something, and have virtual workspaces per monitor. I could live without tiling.

Lmao.

Using floats for nearly anything in a finance platform should be grounds for immediate dismissal.

True. They’re not unique to EVs, but was a bit of a shock after a small hatchback and a van.
