Do you mean “agitprop”?

Not if it works now? This happened almost a year ago.

You forgot

• pissed that his daughter is trans, and he thinks that Twitter made her that way

This happened a year ago.

Yikes. This is how bad things are: a multi-billion dollar company like Intel can look at the situation in Palestine and think “Yes, this seems reasonable. Allying ourselves with Israel will in no way come back to bite us in the ass.”

How many Halloween movies are there? How many Christmas movies?

On Halloween, they push candy and costumes. On Christmas, they push everything.

I sometimes wonder about that word “finger”. If fingers fing, then what is finging?

How can they do that if they don’t have enough money

I liked it at first, but then I ran into some really weird shit. Re-installing didn’t erase the previous install, programs I installed disappeared after reboot, etc. This might be caused by the jankiness of UEFI, I don’t know. I’m never buying another HP laptop after they pulled this shit with UEFI. It’s given me so many headaches.

Whenever I meet another web dev, they either have a job as a web dev, they’re looking for a job as a web dev, or they’re trying to create a startup. There are no hobbyists.

I remember when it was considered a mark of professionalism for a web developer to have an email on their own domain. At some point that changed. I think after GMail came out it was so good that everybody switched to that.

I often wonder about this. Does capitalism impose so much emotional freight that it makes coding intimidating? Does having it attached to ideas about working hard and getting a job drain the fun out of it?

I’m beginning to think that I would actually get more coding done if I abandoned it as a career path.

Ballmer seems like a cokehead. He probably did plenty of both, though.

“Be patient. It’s compiling.”

“Well, when can I use my computer?”

“…Tomorrow.”

If this is in the US, I feel like it would be a violation of OSHA. Or maybe it’s something so stupid that OSHA never thought to make it a rule.
