Have you ever been to PowerShell Summit? It’s the only nerd conference I’ve ever attended where only about half the attendees actually realized they are nerds at a nerd conference. I love the vibe. It’s got style and pizzazz.
That said, the added entry for PowerShell would still be: “You are a nerd.”
Well shit. It’s got me dead to rights on a couple of these.
This is terrific. Thank you for starting this discussion.
I don’t think we can or should wait for individual users to make these decisions. Server admins are the ones who understand the risks and so should make this call. Guidance for server admins based on past experience (cough XMPP!) should be quite welcome.
I might refine the bit about altered API versions to really focus on the real problem: proprietary extensions. We probably want to leave the door open to try out additions to the spec that come with detailed RFCs.
But we know from XMPP that proprietary extensions are a huge problem.
As part of the eternal September myself, we didn’t just use AOL disks as coasters, we used them for awesome pranks like filling eachother’s cars to the brim with them. It was truly astonishing how many of those disks were around.
I’m planning the same.
Let’s not defederate from every corporate player. Some of them can probably respect reasonable rules of civility.
But fuck Meta. We already know how this plays out.
We know there’s a huge wave of hatred and misinformation incoming. We’ve seen it on their other platforms.
Yeah. I’ll switch to an instance that is defederated from Threads, if mine doesn’t.
I left Meta’s other properties to avoid state sponsored hate speech. I won’t use a platform that gives hate speech a platform.
I don’t need to wait to know if Meta will do that. I already know.
Ooh. This would make a great tradition, here. Count me in.
Edit: LibreOffice. Good call. Done.
I assume you mean to check on his often they’re is the breaking changes? :)
Declarative style isn’t perfect, but it’s a massive improvement from straight bash scripting.
I think you’re looking for Ansible. Have fun!
The difference between an Anible playbook and a script, is Ansible has a ‘check’, ‘change’, ‘verify’ pattern, and is declarative (meaning that once the playbook is made, it tends to keep working on future versions of Ansible.)
Incidentally, for anyone who hasn’t typed ‘import antigravity’ into an interactive Python terminal…you should - as Dr Seuss says, “These things are fun, and fun is good.”
Awesome. Thanks!
It’s the year of the Linux desktop! /s
But seriously, I think I’m going to buy a SteamDeck.
Yeah. The interesting money seems to be on Thor. Could break either way. Place your bets everyone.
There’s a lot of generosity toward Thor in this thread. And I think that’s great.
Even though he’s going to rule Asgard someday, while his brother is clearly more qualified. /s
Yep. That’s actually what at least one version of Reed Richards does with the gauntlet.
Good point, technically. But… We all know Thor would be gone. There’s no way the rightful heir to the throne of Asgard is in their top 50% intelligence.
And given that they’d be at full strength they’d probably find a way to stop him and reverse things faster than they did in OTL
Good point. But I dunno. Thor is a big power loss, and unless Captain America gets a free pass for emotional intelligence counting, they’re short in leadership, too.
And a Python developer is born!
