the btb zizians series has started

surprisingly it's only 4 episodes

your Tech Friend is giving you bad advice, stop listening to them

I believe our esteemed poster was referencing the oft-seen cloud dynamic of “making just enough in margin” where you can tolerate a handful of big users because you have enough lower-usage subscribers in aggregate to counter the heavies. which, y’know, still requires the margin to exist in the first place

alas, hard to have margins in Setting The Money On Fire business models

been a little while since we had A Programming Dot Dev here, I think. guess it was time

I wish them a merry cable grounding fault and happy earth buzz to all

SAP without SAP for those who think they want SAP who feel they can't afford SAP who'll end up paying SAP prices anyway, because no-one involved will just stop and think for a fucking moment

just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist

it might mean your mods do a great job, it might be that you don't hang out in communities that draw chuds, it might be any many more things! it definitely means you don't see the whole fedi at once.

but this shit does still exist

I’ve (irl) met a “part-time” LW reader and tried to have a conversation about some of the shit, and … same experience

just utterly had no ability to even receive the information about the longstanding sexual abuse or statements of yud being a charisma-for-nerds grifter

“I was there for the stubsack” is also definitely something you can get on some niche shirts that very few would get

the best kind

bit of a combo-sneer this morning

CNBC put out an article uncritically repeating yet another round of lieboy pulling the exact same shit. I don't recognize the authors immediately, not sure if they're typical bootlickers or not

openai is going in hard, hiring ex-NSA person that was appointed by the walking talk racist mop (via dan gillmor). for the .... safety role! ah yes, I'm sure we'll all be so very surprised by this attempt consolidation of power.

You’re a man of the people, david

(Sorry I can’t tag you appropriately ritenao, because of reasons jank)

((Also yes the italic is all overtone meanings))

I near-exclusively use awful from a client only on awful and I can tell you, without reservation, you get a pure enough experience

By which I, naturally, don’t mean that our mods “don’t do their jobs”. They do. Oh dear god do they. But the visible context is many.
