Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

It seems reasonable to hate both tbh.

be the american the japanese think you are

Have to admit, it shocks me how genuine it feels raising my son.

I had to throw the worries about double entendres or death flags or digging six levels deep to see the postmodern interpretation when you look at it through critical cotton candy theory as proposed by Fookov away and just accept that I, a grown-ass man with a degree hanging on my wall, am going to unironically and enthusiastically sing the alphabet song another 3,000 times, and count to 10 and back down again at least as many times.

When you kick all the postmodern meta-analysis of every action to the curb, you start to realize how much we're crippled by the same.

taking 7 months off due to injury? Don't worry buddy I'm taking way more months off than that in between bench presses!

The backlash is going to be wicked.

Pic related. It's a number of parts scavenged from roadside signs.

op delivers! Thanks!

sauce?

I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that this guy was about to get attacked by the woke police for being "toxically masculine", so he strapped on some giant fake tits and a wig to use the same policies against the people who were about to cancel him.

Go figure. When a communications platform is no longer useful for communication, people leave.

[Admin Mode] So FBXL Translate and FBXL Maps are offline for a bit (weeks or months) because I repurposed the hardware to create a massively overpowered network device.

I've been planning the job for a while, today I finally did it -- I replaced a consumer grade networking device with said massively overpowered network device, and replaced a bunch of interconnected switches with one more appropriate single core switch, and overall flattened the network architecture which was previously a bunch of different networks glommed together in ways that made things complicated for me. I also replaced a pretty brutal cable management solution that looked nice but was bad with something that looks less nice but is much better. Panduit ftw.

Sad thing with work like this is that if I did it right, all the work should be invisible anyway.

Me watching the number of discord servers I'm in explodes:

"I am the Bone of my Discord server
Discord Server is my Body and discord server is my Blood.
I have created over a thousand Discord servers,
Unknown to Death,
Nor known to having a Life.
Have withstood Pain to create many Discord servers
Yet those Hands will never hold boobs.
So, as I Pray--
Unlimited Discord Server Works"

Debate over: I'm the worst at hosting an instance.

Interesting story about the creation of the iPod. It's interesting to note how much of the story is of Apple taking existing ideas and existing products and putting them together. A lot of the time that's how big revolutions come about, applying existing tools in new ways.

While it's obviously important that programs are well programmed and the like, the most important parts are the things one or two steps away from the code. You could have the best program on the planet for example and if it's impossible to install, or maintain, or use, then it's not the best program on the planet.

A lot of the open source programs I use, whether it's servers or programming languages or operating systems or web apps, won in part because I was able to figure out how to make it work. I'm sure I'm not alone.

tfw some of them aren't even android apps...
