You wouldn’t believe it. I was just walking along when suddenly I tripped and my camera just fell out of my bag into my hands and the lens cap also came off and it turned itself on and I was fumbling around and the viewfinder just landed on my eye and my finger slipped right past the shutter button, it was so close! But that’s when I realized it just happened to be in focus and lined up with this landscape, what an incredible confidence, so I took the picture.

Client: “How much is this disaster recovery plan going to cost me?”

Me: “A hell of a lot less than when you don’t have (valid, tested) backups and need them”

Yeah. It’s called principles. Maybe when your corporate overlords have some for sale you’ll be and to afford them.

Which, given the context that planes are necessary, you continue to ignore the OP:

Having the public lose trust in the safety of flying is absolutely not something you want to happen.

And then your justification for not privatizing is cronyism. So the government contracts for air travel = bad, but the ones for your project are… good??

Your comment was really just a soap box to say air=bad, trains=good. I’m not going to argue trains are bad, but maybe make an honest argument for it.

I, too, have had the audacity to say WSL is useful on this community and it was also met with down votes. Purists hating and gate keeping, and then they wonder why Linux isn’t more popular.

Customer: Why is there so much latency over my tunnel from us-east to us-west?

Me: checks latency seems pretty normal, what’s the issue?

Customer: The latency is too much. Why is it not as fast as us-east-1 to us-east-2?

Me: They are near each other. Us-West is across the entire United States

Customer: Make faster

Me: This is the speed of light. And over copper it’s about 2/3 that

Customer: hmm are you sure that’s as fast as it can go?

Me: Well, unless we change the laws of physics your not going to get any better latency

OSX offers both case sensitive and case insensitive filesystems

Then do it. You even get pro rated back for what you’ve already paid for the month. Literally go do it right now in like 90 seconds.

When it stops being viable. They have no commitment to the company. They’ll suck it dry and move on to the next project.

Yeah, but if you aren’t being sold subscription services, then there’s no stream of recurring revenue, and if that happens quarterly earnings won’t show a graph going up. Which means shareholders can’t go afford their backup vacation house and CEOs yachts will be a few inches shorter. Honestly, think of the yachts next time.

It works for kitboga

Isn’t OW2 free?

Lol as if people have a choice and there isn’t a monopoly on ISP coverage

“the cloud isn’t tech it’s a rental company” is a pretty dumb take tbh.

Like, if you’re trying to argue that AWS (or gcp, azure) services don’t provide technical solutions that aren’t available otherwise you just don’t know what you’re talking about. Is it expensive, yeah it definitely can be. But cloud is much more than server rentals at this point. Want a host that gives you bare metal? Great there are ‘rentals’ to choose from. I can see arguing SaaS hasn’t really ‘tech’, but PasS and IaaS provide technology and solutions to problems. I hate Daddy Jeff as much as the next guy but AWS is very much ‘tech’.

You say everyone hates then but honestly it’s really not true. Plenty of people are annoyed by ads, others tolerate them, sometimes people even enjoy them (see Superbowl shit or people sharing meme ads and commercials) and honestly that’s part of the problem. Ads have been a part of so many people lives for so long they can’t even imagine a world where they aren’t constantly bombarded by ads and having them privacy exploited for corporate gains.

Personally I’m vehemently opposed to ads and go out of my way to block them in every way I can, but fundamentally many people don’t see them as an issue or are too attached to the corporate teat to try voting with their wallet to suppress the problem.

It’s for the person paying for the hosting and maintaining the server to decide what they want their server to do

cries in proprietary

The lawsuit against them is regarding allegedly using ‘trade secrets’ and proprietary assets from Nexon, where a number of the team members previously worked. After Nexon killed Project P3 the IRONMACE devs left the company and started their own game based on the premise of an extraction dungeon crawler. After seeing their early success in alpha, Nexon got jealous and sad so the submit a frivolous lawsuit with a cease and desist / DMCA takedown on DaD on Steam.

When claiming stolen assets in their initial filing, Nexon cited publicly purchased engine store assets which is obviously ridiculous.

Both IRONMACE and Nexon are based in Korea so they are still in their legal battle there and as such DaD isn’t currently released in Korea. I guess the US case is either dismissed or at least the cease and desist was lifted.

Long story short, nothing to do with Bethesda or elder scrolls assets. IRONMACE made an awesome game and their old employer is sad they can’t cash in on something they didn’t contribute to at all. All my homies hate Nexon.

For what it’s worth, half of them are essentially ‘water is wet’. Although as far as thoughts in the shower go, I guess that’s fairly reasonable.

That’s what stuck out to you, not her face looking like a Sim?
