I made it all the way through. It's not that bad, to be honest. Like it's not the best, but I've listened to worse.

It seems like he watched Hamilton and was inspired by Aaron Burr, Sir, but didn't know what to sing about so just did freestyle.

I know the conversation is on another site, but I have an account here, not over there.

The CTO is an asshat and the project manager should talk to HR and a company lawyer, as others have pointed out, because of the legal binding contract the employees signed when they were hired that said nothing about being on call.

You then don't force all your engineers to be on call--forcing people who tend to be introverted and on the spectrum are usually better not talking to clients--but offer a bonus to those who agree to be on call.

Correct, the mscorefonts may be a little overkill, but it would be the quickest solution. My guess is that Debian's default fonts "aren't up to par", so they could also download and install other fonts and use them as the default san-serif font, but unless they got lucky it could take longer than just installing the fonts their father knows and loves.

Blocky fonts could just be Yahoo falling back to older fonts as it finds the Windows/MacOS fonts not installed on the local system. The easiest thing you could do to verify this is install the mscorefonts (the way to install it changes every few years, so you'll need to search it).

Wow, it's just Muffin Time but worse

I work in electronics manufacturing and I'm torn on this issue.

On the one hand, fuck Apple for requiring to go through so many hoops.

On the other hand, every device my company makes has an internal checksum and if one PCB is installed incorrectly, the main board throws a fit because the device checksum doesn't match.

It sounds like Apple may do something similar for their products and it sort of makes sense: determined people try something crazy like take an older iPhone and install a newer Wireless module or replace Lightning with USB-C. Neither of those things were intended by Apple, and there's a huge potential that it wouldn't work.

With that said, it's absolutely overkill for things like display or digitizer replacements, which are going to be the majority of repairs on iPhones.

Tl;Dr - fuck Apple, this is dumb, the users have the right to repair

Discord and YouTube are my two holdouts. The YouTube algorithm understands me too well and the amount of content on the platform is too insane for me to quit, but I could leave Discord (I'm never on it anyway)

Have you told them about our lord and savior Pixelfed?

I just finished reading Cadillac Desert which went over all that and more. And yes, the agricultural shit-show in California an issue in its own right, but as someone from a State that CA is stealing water from, I'm a little salty (pardon the pun).

It doesn't check for an actual DNS entry though, right? Would it be possible to do person.developer.app?

If you read or listen to Audio books, I highly recommend Daemon by Daniel Suarez. It follows your train of thought fairly well.

That's pretty neat. Too bad most of SoCal's water is pumped in from halfway across the States, so even if they do keep their people, they'll have a water shortage along with much if the Western US.
