@SecureOwl when I see posts like this I'm never sure how I feel. One one hand, I'll never be short of jobs. Yay! On the other hand. *Insert many expletives here* how the *expletive* do these *expletive* idiots think that that isn't the most *expletive* stupid idea on the *expletive* planet do do something so *expletively* *expletive*. And then I cry because I'm one of the people that has to fix the mess they made. *It's late and I cat be arsed to check the spelling of my swearwords

@tezoatlipoca@mas.to @jcrabapple@dmv.community @ralfmaximus@mastodon.social dude, i remember knowing how far my dos PC was is its boot sequence from the click from the hard drive. Even some games like desert strike would let me know if I hadn't loaded the MSCDEX in to highmem because they'd spend more time on certain parts of the drive.

@dgar To be fair. Has outlook ever been a winner at anything? It's the worst email client every made, and yet crawls along in our tech world like the asshole that hides a zombie bite. He's there, he's an asshole, and you know he's gonna fuck something up soon, but you don't get rid of him.

@j_bertolotti We know, but this situation is where there are a few niche situations were it can really help. But on the other side there are assholes trying to make money shoving down everyones throats. (So many of them) Been there with IOT, been there with crypto, been there too many times. Get the suits out of the way and make the good tech, then we can talk about the rest

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io my 2019 midrange home built that I had planned to replace, because that newish indiana jones game looked nice, but needs more than my 2070 super can deal with, is going to be my trusty work horse for a few more years by the looks of things.
I thought i'd ober specced at the time but those 32G of DDR3 are still going strong. More minecraft it is then..

As an aside, you'd think game publishers would be mad a nvidia, making all this stuff for better games then pricing the cards out of the market ain't great for the dev biz..

@theraspb@aus.social @toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town yes but only for a few niche personal projects. I normally block it in any situation where ipv6 is not actively being used. (Surface attack reduction and all that.. not really useful but when it's active I've seen quite a few bots and not legit traffic)

@akareilly@hachyderm.io ok, I agree in most (almost all cases) but there are bits of software were the barrier to entry is a good thing. The whole "I know enough to be dangerous" is a thing, and honestly, having a CLI that you need to look in to and understand would prevent quite a few script kiddie types in a few domains.

@jyasskin@hachyderm.io @vaurora@mstdn.social homonuculus or zombies? Either way there is no soul involved. And they remain shambling messes that roam around without having any purpose.

@mattly@hachyderm.io orher than the obvious "why in the hell do you have a dishwasher connected to the internet?!", i'm curious about you phrasing at "we only have one android device". Do you consider them less reliable from a security stand point than a fucking dishwasher that needs the internet to work? (Not trying to be snarky, just.. you know, dishwasher, internet.. as a venn diagram that should look like two veeery seperate circles. But you mention android as if it's obvious it should be the bad guy)

@openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org could? It will be used sooner or later against someone, be it LQBTQIA+, immigrants, people who disagree with those in power.. All power corrupts.. you know the rest.
