Confidence is often mistaken for competence. I'd like to believe that's why "con(fidence) men" are ever successful.

I was initially confused as well, but I do think the meme format matches.

Edited, thanks for the correction. I'd like to blame it on a typo, but I frequently "mispronounce" that word in the my head, so it was probably just a mistake.

Yeah, why can't they just be a weirdo freak (celebratory) like the rest of us anarchists?

I think you have to go several levels of racism deep to even understand it. Like the (censored) phrase "I don't hate black people; I hate N-----s" has to make enough sense you understand the "distinction" being made. Then you translate that distinction and apply it to some sort of "good billionaire" and you sort of get his claim.

I think?

I certainly could have missed his point, if any; I'm not sure it was worth catching.

I'm also in the South and have a very different experience.

The pedant in me is glad he didn't misuse niggardly.

It could be correctly used to describe many billionaires, but post in image would surely misuse it.

LLMs are already deleting whole production databases because "stupid" people are convinced they can vibe code everything.

Even programmers I (used to) respect are getting convinced LLM are "essential". 😞

Everything 1Upsmanship puts on their "Celestial Hard Drive".

Or, Minecraft.

Erase their effects on the planet. And rebuild the ecosystem with species that are healthy for the planet.

Coal ain't coming back. The Carboniferous isn't going to happen again because the mycological consciousness knows how to deal with lignin already.

Replacing the oil I know less about, but it would take millions of years to replace what we've burnt/processed if it was produced at historical rates.

I've always been in an "at will" state (Arkansas) and my more recent firing was without cause and without notice. But, since it wasn't for cause, I was/am eligible for unemployment insurance.

I'm not claiming, because I can't actually accept any job offer, due to the constraints of familial duties, and Arkansas requires you accept an offer when you on UI. (I think there are conditions where you can reject, but I've not read the statues, just the guidelines published by the relevant Arkansas government department, which aren't that explicit.)

Self-hosted GitLab is what GNOME and Debian chose to do.

I still use the main GitLab for most things.

https://repo.or.cz/ provides just git hosting.

It's also relatively easy to just self-host Git, though permissions can be wonky, at least last time I tried.

I can't recommend Darcs. Luckily I don't see MS (or any other corp) being able to take over core Git development. I really should try Pijul again, but least time I played with it, the history/branch visualization (which you can do without, but I really like to have) was actually still worse than Darcs.
