Some anecdotes from my experiences during this time:
I lived and worked in downtown Chicago at the time, right next to the Board of Trade. The local OWS was set up right next to it. I remember the traders had dumped out a bunch of McDonald’s job applications from the window onto them below. I would walk by them everyday for months and absolutely no one was paying them attention. It was a small group of people and eventually one day just like that, they were gone.
A week or so after OWS started I was visiting NYC and we ended up at Zuccotti Park where it all started. I think there were more people selling pins, buttons, and various arts and crafts than there were actual protesters. I remember my FIL asking each one if they were trying to supplement a living or if they were purely a for-profit capitalist venture taking advantage of an opportunity at an anti-capitalist protest. I just couldn’t stop laughing. He was serious.
Went to a wedding in Tulsa a few months in the whole OWS movement and their main park had an encampment of tents with signs but didn’t see any activity.
The big thing I noticed was there was virtually no people of color present, no organization, was a gathering of almost entirely white (mostly young) Leftists, that like usual, failed to cobble together a coalition from other demographics and really just seemed like a spectacle.
Oh nice. Thank you.
Not a fan of it being forced upon anyone but I’ll add lately that I’ve been using it to spit out Python scripts and ansible playbooks to stunning efficiency that makes my life much easier.
I tried Bard last year and it sucked, maybe Gemini is better now. I could see myself paying for one of these eventually, given how much more free time I have with the kids (or at the bar!).
Reminds of Windows 98 installation
I took a good look at Apache CloudStack. I of course have been migrating stuff to k8s and working with cloud native stuff that can be hypervisor independent or bare metal even.
I’m this close to an NSX-T cert and that will be the last one. That will be in high demand for quite some time I’d expect.
I’ve done this for so long I might just be like that old Cobol programmer in need during Y2K at some point.
I’ve spent the last 15 years working with VMware exclusively. A little nervous about all of this
I was just today trying FF again and discovered vertical tabs was via extension only and holy shit disabling the tabs up top looked like a bit of work. Native vertical tabs and grouping and I’m back. It should just copy the layout that Edge does.
I was always a fan of Log Jammin
Comparing Discord to IRC is like comparing playing tennis to baking a cake. Just two entirely different things.
He who goes to sleep with itchy butthole wakes up with smelly finger
‘The Bonnie Situation’ from Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino is in this meme and is in the clip from the movie. B’Elanna is a Klingon from Voyager. The word Klingon is a replacement for another word in the clip, I’ll just leave it at that. The title of the post works well because B’Elanna and Bonnie start with the same letter.
Ubuntu server has a minimal server installation option.
You could literally start at season 3 and go from there and you wouldn’t miss anything. Enjoy, it gets better and better
If only she had a bush 🚜
I just downloaded Podman Desktop and am playing with this. Almost all videos and tutorials out there are for Docker but I’m going to watch those but actually use Podman instead to learn.
I know he has an off switch. But as we all know, he’s incredibly strong and fast.
I’m watching an episode of Bluey with my kids right now and they’re playing Pass the Parcel and Lucky’s dad is trying to stop the music on his phone but his touch screen isn’t working lol.
No idea. I tried to get him to just simply observe and either buy something or not. I still have my pin somewhere, I think I know where it is. I’ll look for it tonight and post it.
