Had you known how to sew, you could have mended that rip!

those appear to be physical clones, not electronic equivalent clones. How is this specific company any different than the dozens of other earbud clones out there?

My brain seems to be too good at this, and weirdly terrible at forgetting something I have mis-remembered. Drives my family crazy.

Between (old) reddit, phpbb and smf... the old reddit model wins by a landslide in my opinion. I've used all of these over the years and absofuckinglutely HATE phpBB and SMF, with SMF earning slightly less hatred than phpBB.

I'm also old enough to have downloaded .QWK files for offline BBS forum reading/replying and even connecting to the internet over a FidoNet-internet bridge. Lemmy did the exact right thing in copying reddit's format.

ah, so you're the jerk who caused the sudden snowstorm/cold weather here. :-)

I mainly use it to generate unit tests and it frequently makes shit up that clearly won’t work. Like directly invoking non-exported functions that I deliberately choose not to export, because they don’t need to be exported.

If you work where I work, their solution is to just #include "the_file.c" so they have access to all the functions/variables I painstakingly marked static specifically to prevent them from trying to unit test the internals.

It’s called the asshole tax. Don’t be an asshole and you won’t be charged.

Slack is my modern go-to, but I still also use IRC. Slack has great support for technical chat, doesn’t slow my i7 with 32GB RAM to a crawl, has great multiple account support and even voice chat if you are into that. I prefer zoom for video when I need it, but slack’s isn’t nearly as shit as teams.

Maybe businesses will stop forcing “free” Teams on their workforces now. What a pile of shit.

I certainly won’t work for $50/hr, and I didn’t spend nearly as much time or money on my education. You’re not really making the point you think you are.

Resistance in wire creates a voltage drop, just like hair in a water pipe creates a drop in available pressure.
