So many of the shorts I’ve seen are repackaged Tik Tok that it makes sense for YT not to encourage publishing on a competitor first.

I like their attitude.

Linux is used in so many places where age verification makes no sense that I find it highly unlikely there will be “illegal” distros.

Like, if I spin up an EC2 instance to use as a server will I need to verify my age? If I create SSH users for my coworkers will they have to verify their age? What about service users like the ones used in systemd? What about Linux embedded in industrial controls?

I ask because all of those could be used to circumvent age restrictions, and that’s just off the top of my head.

Having run a couple support teams, I get where they’re coming from with the wait time.

Every minute my team wasn’t spending helping customers was spent updating the knowledge base. We invested a ton of effort into it, and 90% of the tickets were answerable in the first interaction with a simple search.

But getting people to actually read the docs was impossible. And maybe if we made them wait they’d get frustrated

But that’s not very nice to your customers or the agents.

I’ve had a customer ask for me by saying “get us that guy who looks like Gilfoyle, he’s the only one who seems to know what’s going on.”

Though I am polyamorous, have been associated with the occult, have long hair and a beard, and wear rectangular glasses, so I can understand how they’d be mistaken.

I knew from the very first scene. Some company had just got bought so they had a big party and paid Kid Rock to play. But everybody was in polos and khakis and wanted to have quiet conversations and Kid gave up halfway through the first song.

I was at that party. It wasn’t Kid Rock, but I was at that party

I’ve been in the tech/startup world since the early ‘00s and I can definitively say you best start believin’ in Silicon Valley episodes; you’re in one.

He lacks the drive of Blofeld and the style of Scaramanga

Arguing about Google Docs will prepare them for the corporate world

The only thing that taught me more about computers than trying to get porn is trying to pirate software.

If this is true I’m gonna be the smartest person in the nursing home.

So is she Cadet Your Majesty or Your Majesty Cadet?

I never thought I’d see the phrase “orbital data centers” and not think it’s cool, but here we are.

That’s a damn fine sandwich maker

My parents aren’t much younger than him and every time he speaks I worry for their health.

No but now I’m definitely not going to get anything done this weekend.

I’d wait a half hour while playing Descent

Not with my exhaust

My car is either lugging along in 2nd gear or doing like 3500 rpm in first at 30 kph, so mine wouldn’t be any quieter.

If they’re EVs they’re heavier, causing more road wear, and don’t pay gas taxes
