If Texas secedes, I’ll stop ripping on them

That is a fantastic idea - one to bring to your local representative if they don’t resent your existence. Frame it in terms of helping the elderly store their photos etc, you’ve got a winner

Auditable access control and security, private connectivity to vendors and partners, advanced fire prevention, a formalised process for access for vendor support, delivery docks for full rack unit appliances, separate circuits for power, space for cable runs, 24/7 concierge.

Rolling your own datacentre is ludicrously expensive when you can just rent half a rack of space, this would kill small businesses and major corps would just take the hit and pass it on to consumers.

I argue with my breadmaker. It beeps ten times when it’s finished making pizza dough. Fucking ten! Dumb clanker has no right to talk to me that way

If only Teams would do the same thing at my workplace

Direct messages with “Hi @firstname.lastname” really grind my gears

No hello is considered passive aggressive lol

Do not run your own email server - highly recommend using your own domain though. Use a provider that lets you BYO your domain. Just make sure you get your MX records correct with your DNS provider, most email providers have documentation for this.

you can’t make things proactively illegal

What? We literally do that all the time.

Is “InfoBay” actually any better? Zero imagination

I was actually going to move off Zoho to them, and actually pay for my email

Outstanding timing

LLMs will never take the job of the $5 wrench! Hit him with it til the back door is done.

Yes because it’s cricket, E.g. during a live thread. It’s just an example. Outside of tech and American interests, there is actually very little of interest here for passive or casual users.

Doesn’t that just mean it will attract a certain type of user, where FOSS and tech are huge parts of identity? I’m not mocking that type of user at all, but honestly my primary use case for Reddit was shitposting in /r/cricket threads. There’s never going to be that sort of community, because frankly anyone not into tech would find this platform completely incomprehensible.

Yeah that’s objectively hilarious

I do love this era where C-level execs have somehow become too stupid for PR training though. It’s easy to say that they can do what they want, but in this case, the crap theyve spewed is going to cause serious damage to their brand, ya love to see it.

I.e. delware’s rasion d’etre for decades anyway. A tax haven banana state with no identity beyond being the place people register businesses.

Yeah, in a country with a functional justice system, it sure would.

Yeah - people in here commenting it “doesn’t sound that bad” etc - this is boilerplate for a restructuring/layoffs period, they’re going to fire a ton of people.

It’s a country that thinks a fair federal election is the responsibility of individual states. I don’t care about the history, I don’t care about the importance of “states rights”, it’s untenable. I don’t even consider this an opinion, it’s logical idiocy.
