What a joke of a car, the "screens" are contagious. Peak design stupidity arrived at Ferarri, does it have the sliding on the screen gear stick too? Retractable door handles? I guess the price of old cars will grow faster than they used it.

Lower prices come with a cost. I am not a fan of AWS but they higher reliability.

Well, that was pretty obvious that the portability is gone, especially when you start linking into systemd, even on the host system you have to link with the shared libs into systemd, you cannot link statically.

I never knew what happened to gnome that it got so bad, until I used a Mac and I realized that they just tried to copy it and miserably failed.

It is hilarious, don't get me wrong - I really appreciate more people moving away from these "Hi-Tech" deployment styles and cloud services and the rest, but it is like rediscovering hot water.

cosmin800 — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 08:58:25 +0000

Ah, yes, the solution is to pay someone to do something . An extra 3.50 euro pet flight/passenger to avoid extra contrails, genius money making machine.

I was expecting a mouse at least. Aren't these insects supposed to be feeding on fruits? Why feed them ribeyes?

Not everything, there are companies that do not own, or use any single windows machine for this exact reason waiting to happen. Was this worse than msblaster or? I remember that, painful.

Nothing else than taking some peasants and giving them a bodyguard uniform and now they feel more entitled than the building landord himself.

Man made horrors beyond comprehension. Leaded gasoline, asbestos, transfats, seed oils, sugar, hfcs, tobbacco, alcohol - all good in moderation.
