No, your comment sounds incredibly privileged and naive.

I wonder if he wrote that while on the island.

@dang .... do these comments seem organic to you? old accounts with almost zero karma going out of their way to use the same verbiage to compliment waymo 18 minutes after an article gets posted? .... dead internet at work.

Such a great response to this article. Scathing but enjoyable to watch. Angela is a treasure.

Let me get this straight. You think Rob Pike, is worried about his job being taken? Do you know who he is?

It's a setting on BlueSky, that the user can enable for their own account, and for people of prominence who don't feel like dealing with drive by trolls all day, I think it's very reasonable. One is a money grab, and the other is giving power to the user.

I don't see this site as being the spiritual successor to /. at all, the audience is much more money focused and much less software focused. I miss /. as a low 5 digit user there.

And yet the amount of work time I've missed out on from github being down is slightly concerning in retrospect. I imagine the smaller scale of codeberg will actually lead to more uptime despite chaos monkey's best efforts.

Bit of a leap.

If you are in the USA and don't believe the ratio of bullshit to reality has changed, I would like to know what news sources you are using.

Googles seemingly inexorable slide into becoming unusable seems to have picked up speed around then.

Most pressure treated lumber eschews the old arsenic method. Most only have copper and an anti fungal (Tebuconazole) in it. Perfectly safe for an outdoor chair.

While I don't doubt you, it would be helpful if you cited these experts, so people can learn.

Yes, if you were not experiencing a need for recovery, you were not providing enough stimulus. I was a powerlifter. there were times when I couldn't walk the next day. recovery is a major factor.

It depends on who writes the history books in the states, and it's not looking good.

have you considered the possibility that despite sanewashing this, it is really a problem? That the current administration is not normal? That perhaps there really is cause for alarm?

Strange, it actually endeared him to me. Thanks for the link. I guess some crusty part of me enjoys seeing someone who actually knows what they are talking about not putting up with whiny demanding randos on the internet. I might even give kitty a second chance on windows, to clarify I don't think you are wrong to feel the way you do, it just gave me a chuckle how differently different people parse things.

Agreed, it seems like a bunch of people in this thread are scared of having to setup authentication and monitoring, but are not scared of chain attack in the latest docker image they never even looked at.

Devsec/ops guy here, the fact that you were pulling public images at all ever is the thing that is insane to me.
