@coded_artist If Derek Chauvin doesn't win this one, I'm gonna be pissed.
@ivesen unless it's a thing for enterprise level hardware that I'm not aware of, no I don't believe it is.
@beardalaxy @mushroom_soup Can't say I saw that many court proceedings, but I'm used to the parties using language like "the defended did this or that". Maybe if the guy was being addressed in the witness stand, but then shouldn't these be phrased as questions?
Or I guess maybe things are just more different in the UK, and I'm used to USA courtroom dramas.
@mushroom_soup
Why is this written from a 2nd person perspective? (you, Mohammed Karrar etc). It's fucking creepy. I'm not a vile rapist. Why am I being addressed as if I did these things?

Do you understand how gay you sound right now? You could have someone literally sucking Bill Gate's dick, and they still wouldn't be gayer than you.
@Suiseiseki @deadheat
Man... I'm getting such a turn on for Microsoft right now. I might just install Windows later today.
@LukeAlmighty Really, people are still on about that? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. This and the gay cake thing are gonna be things people will forever debate because they're just that dumb.
Coffee IS supposed to be too hot to drink when you get a fresh cup, and wedding cakes are an art form, hence free speech prevails. No gay wedding cake if I don't want to make it.
@icedquinn I try to use open source too, but I'm not fanatical about it. If something is closed source, and works better for my needs, I'll use it proudly (I add "proudly" to piss off people who are religious about open source/free software).
the ceo thing that happened
@icedquinn
Yes, truly. The rational thing a company should do is say "let's jeopardize the entire company and the financial future of its employees by taking time to mourn the passing of the CEO". How long do you think its appropriate for a company to suspend things because a person died? Maybe a month or two? I think that should be enough. And obviously, every death of any employee should receive the same treatment. Companies should clearly always take time to mourn the dead.
Yes, that was all very passive aggressive sarcasm. I'm not a fan of the CEO assassination idea, but that doesn't mean a CEO gets to be treated any differently from any other employee. When an employee is no longer available, and the job needs to be filed, the company will employ whoever it can ASAP. That's life. Especially for a position like the CEO, the jobs of many more people are at risk if there isn't someone there doing his job. Anything less than immediately replacing the CEO is a dereliction of duty towards everyone involved with the company, whether it's business partners, employees, stock holders or even clients.
@icedquinn Knowing fedi, you're probably supposed to open things in nano or something. Maybe vim. Just be a rational human, and find a hex editor that works well for you, and screw people who complain about open source, closed source, etc.
@milk That's not furniture. That's saw dust held together with glue and screws.
@Nudhul @mushroom_soup @ElDeadKennedy
No. That's the way Brits have to define themselves, cause they got beat in a war.
Romanians basically worship USA. I, and many of my generation, grew up with American movies and shows, we were steeped in American culture, American values. You'd have Romanian children growing up dreaming to be Americans.
@mushroom_soup Isn't The Odyssey like an ancient Greek story? I didn't study it either, but what am I missing here? Why would someone think it's an American thing?
@icedquinn Ever since I played around with lucid dreaming about 15 years ago, there's always a tiny bit of awareness in my dreams. It's why I can usually figure out "wait, you're not supposed to do that" when something stupid happens in the dream, before I wake up. And it's likely why I don't get something like hard drives speaking or being happy.
If something really crazy does happen, I basically realize it's a dream, and I instinctively start nudging the dream into rational territory.
But the downside to lucid dreaming for me has always been that such nudging also causes me to slowly wake up. Conscious interventions like "this didn't actually happen, I didn't actually wash my hard drives" work well to calm the nerves and turn a nightmare back into just a dream, but I just wake up fairly quickly after.
