You have the ability to do that? Super jealous. Everything at my university was so tightly integrated with the windows ecosystem and its accounts that separating would have been an incredible amount of work.
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.deto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•found an anti-vax book at my libraryEnglish2·10 days agoDamn. I was homeschooled for a year while sick, and my parent nuts trying to find the absolute best material so I didn’t fall behind. It’s repulsive that any parent would purposefully give shoddy education. That’s the stuff you always think is relegated to weird religious cults somewhere, which, I suppose, should be a wake up call about what we’re currently dealing with.

God, but that’s just sad and, well, infuriating.
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.deto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•The future of tech interviews4·12 days agoMy “mentor” can hardly write an Excel formula. My boss has once seen an excruciatingly simple app I made at someone else’s request. I built it in a couple hours. It has a file chooser button and a run button. Blew her mind.
Ah, so that’s the reason I bitch constantly about my medical device. I swear it was coded by monkeys.
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•Unfortunately, the ICEBlock app is activism theater5·16 days agoIt sounds like he’s just a dev who’s in over his head but either doesn’t want anyone to take his baby or doesn’t want people to see his sloppy and possibly insecure code
I’d bet it’s a LOT more along the lines of the second guess, because it’s now cost his wife her job and has gotten him quite publicly tagged along with it. He’s got a large portion of himself invested in it, and of course it will sting and suck for a bunch of folks to come along and point out, both gently and horribly, knowing OSS folks, all the shortcomings and then make changes.

Meh. People are always saying blood eagle this and blood eagle that. Of all the ways to die, the blood eagle isn’t all that bad. Once the lungs are pulled out, that’s it. You choke to death within a minute. All the good tortures last at least hours; look at crucifixion, which sometimes dragged on for days. The description of scaphism (which was written by someone who allegedly often stretched tales) said the longest one was 17 days, I think.

Bloody reverse psychology still working on me. >:(

And not mildly, either! I sometimes wish I had a bot net that could ping their stupid systems so much that they’d suffer for routing tracking through their own internal system/service.
