In my experience a docx that looks good in libreoffice usually looks good in word, it's the other way around that is usually more of a problem.

Desktop Linux is criminally underrated now, it's just so good. Latest Ubuntu LTS turns any computer into a free Mac in the sense of a Unixlike system where everything just works, but somehow we are still joking about the year of the Linux desktop and "i use arch btw".

It's amazing how shitty this space is. Every day I have to unplug and replug the HDMI cable and I think of how many thousands of people every day are wasting a few seconds to do this. How can computers be so good and so shit at the same time for so many years is beyond me. There are certain things everyone puts up with that just don't make sense.

It's perfectly safe to sit in a room full of asbestos insulation like it is to sit in front of any computer from the 90s (leaded solder) but it's still good to ban asbestos just like it was probably good to switch to RoHS solder.

When your house has termites, it's quite correct to say that the termites don't care about the house, even though each individual termite cares deeply about having an infinite supply of wood to chew on.

It's dangerous enough to ban when cheap alternatives exist, but not dangerous enough to ban in low GDP parts of the world, such as Asbest, Russia.

Neat! The number of major versions released per year appears to double about once a decade, so we are on track to have Java 2000 by about 2092.

Bricks and minifigs = franchise that sells used legos

Dad of Oregon man had $100k-200k of Star wars legos

One store agreed to sell them on consignment

Something shady happened with the store and he ended up with no Legos and almost no money for the Legos

Reckless ben = YouTuber who agreed to essentially prosecute this in the court of public opinion, due to the legal fees exceeding the value of the Legos

> don't you want to reach your deductible as soon as possible?

Only if your problem will spill into the next year. You have all year to use the deductible.

Yeah, to me it's already in mission creep by definition because there was no mission to start with.

Right? Next tip for developers, always work in a private office, preferably a corner office, I learned this from my boss.

Personally I think if he did that people wouldn't pay attention. My experience is that when you complain to people about digital rights they just glaze over unless you walk them through all the ins and outs and the implications.
