There’s never been a time where a sane person would use a Windows server for example

I dunno if it was sane, but my employer has been deploying Windows servers in industrial environments where the “operator” are technicians (non-IT) without access to remote support. With a Windows interface at least they are usually able to navigate the system and troubleshoot when needed without Linux experience (which they never have).

Or sweeten it up with the long form “Regards of the day”.

For real though, worst is if they sign of with “Enjoy your evening” or similar. Dude, it’s 11 pm and I’m already in bed.

As someone with 2 kids, they still are!

Shame they didn’t mention grandmothers, they can be the most patient listening to ramblings about Arch.

In similar cases I’ve passive-aggressively intentionally misunderstood and/or acted confused. E.g. “Yes, we can set ut up an API between X and Y, but what exactly do you want the bot to do?” Then let them elaborate until it’s clear they’re not asking for a bot.

I’ve always just assumed it’s because uncovered feet are vaugely intimate

Especially when they’re in my mouth

LibreOffice is good. Very good even. I just wish Calc always had a 1-to-1 feature parity with Excel for it’s formulas, it would make it so much easier to collaborate on a spreadsheet with others. I think I had to wait a few years on e.g. XLOOKUP.

I hope the next pope revives one of the classic pope names, there are so many good ones to choose from. Pelagius, Viligius, Damasus… I can’t take any more Pauls, Benedicts, Pius, Innocents, Clements etc.

On my Gardena, it would be no chance. The “skirt” around it means you would need to lift it to get hurt, and any attempts to lift it triggers the emergency stop. I reckon that’s standard with most of them. The teeny tiny blades are also not really screwed down, so it doesn’t have much cutting potential, just enough for grass and weeds.

Same, and they might even have properly adjusted headlights, but as soon as they tilt up (e.g. due to a speed bump), the flashing lights make it look like they are sending me a light signal. Usually takes a few seconds until I realise they just hit a speed bump.

Interesting, first thing we learned was to try to knee them in the groin to make them let go.

No, 'cause the /s cheapens the experience of good sarcasm.

I’ll let my kids make their own mistakes to learn from. Except for never frying bacon topless, that shit I’m teaching them early.

What a beautiful and eloquent comment.

Obligatory reminder that not only US has an IRS; the tax collection agency in Ghana is also called IRS.

Nah, I think if you’re on e.g. Debian oldstable you could still be on Gnome 3. That’s not “long dead”.

He sounds like a decent human being.

I’d never go to a hotel without my leatherman with me.
