If voyager went sublight they could time dilate themselves into the future. Idk why I just realized this.

Eh jk I guess they’re too far away anyway. Any Earth they would recognize is gone.

I named my cat Mariner because of the character. She’s actually my favorite star trek character of all time.

I sure was glad

Nah. Rip that shit right out of the chassis. Destroy that RJ45 port. Make it so the security audit team has to resolder a jack to the mobo before they can even ssh to the box.

Is it absolutely a good ol boys club. Like, oh my God it’s unbelievable. To be fair, most people aren’t like that but they have a shit ton of young, talented, neurotic, male engineers who just graduated college and have been told they are super geniuses. These are not the creme de la creme when it comes to emotional intelligence.

If I understand correctly the article is a lie. The author “misunderstood” what they were reading.

I don’t know if Google threatening the DDG employee would change the situation. Wired published it. If their writer came back and said “I was threatened by a megacorp for my excellent work. Please take it down and tell everyone I was wrong” wired, at very least, would not issue that statement.

“oopsie I accidentally wrote the hit piece of the year about my competitor and it turned out to be a lie! Tee hee silly me what even is journalistic integrity?”

This article was a smoking gun. Google is scummy but this was shocking. And it was a fucking lie? I actually hope Google goes after wired. That’s not justice against Google that’s malpractice.

Boss: kids your age are so incredibly arrogant. You think you deserve the world.

Me: we are the same age.

Boss: huh

This actually happened.

I don’t understand why everyone at corporate Amazon is fine with this. I am a white collar corporate sell out asshole and I support unions 100% of the time, full stop.

Nah it’s fine

You use vi because you are lazy.

I used vi because I am too stupid to close it.

We are not the same.

Ed is king. Every single time I have to work on a severely resource constrained system I always use Ed.

That’s literally never happened to me but that won’t stop me from saying it.

Except I’m too dumb to use even the neovim plugin manager let alone configure the thing. I have to copy existing configs like a noob :(

You absolutely must watch this episode https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Measure_of_a_Man_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation) the entire premise is that Picard provides a legal defense for the personhood of Data. The episode is literally a court case and it is one of the most well received episodes.

I think your slavery analogy holds. I don’t think the Federation believes Data can be a slave because they don’t believe he is sentient. But they do pick and choose how to apply their legal code to Data.

Data broke himself out of the government lab because he hadn’t consented to be experimented upon and he believed his detention was unlawful.

The Federation arrested him because he is their legal property and by him leaving he stole highly sensitive government technology.

Fuck the Federation. I stan for the true leader of the Alpha and Beta quadrants, >!the Grand Nagus!<.

When I was 8 I was making a “video game” (a complete bundle of code trash 😉) and I would copy people’s code and everything would melt down. I would spend hours debugging just to realize I needed to pass an extra argument or indent or something.

Today I’m better at my job. I am now the one writing confusing function APIs 😈

Damn what the actual fuck that is a good idea why don’t they serve Turkish and Israeli coffee out of these racktaccino mugs?
