I see the same thing, 404. Maybe a federation issue between lemmy.world and lemmit.online?

I see [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected], but they haven’t seen any activity in quite a while.

Ah, yep, def when they called it Firefox.

This was essentially my same reaction to that comment. All I can think is that they imagined that this post said something like “Firefox bad because DEI CEO!” and reacted without actually reading the post.

Which … I mean, given the world we currently live in, is probably being said somewhere. But on this post, it’s a HECK of a non-sequitur.

basically when it was first released

Ah, back in the Mozilla Phoenix days? Or shortly after the Firebird->Firefox rename?

master/slave relationship in tech

Wait, this is a thread about branch names in git. The “master” in question would be more akin to a “master recording” from music, not master/slave software or system architecture.

40ies

I can’t help but read this as “forty-ies” instead of “forties” 😂

I think I see where you’re coming from. I don’t hear grifters in that phrase, personally. I’d almost say the opposite; workaholics are more likely to invoke the phrase. Or, to put it another way, victims of upper management gaslighting.

working hard is not a virtue

I have to disagree here. Well, probably. I figure, if you’re not lazy/half-assing your job, you’re pretty much working hard, right? I see it as being diligent about your job, and yes, I do see some virtue in that.

But you also wrote “indicator of poor management” which makes me think you’re using “working hard” as a label for something like “unpaid overtime”. That would be a whole different ballgame.

I don’t think this post is a good fit. The name of the community is “mildly infuriating”, not “absolutely enraging”!

no more to do with technology than CEOs of wood pulp factories have to do with literature.

This has me envisioning a literature community filled with stories like “Random House and Penguin merging” (I know, old news), “Layoffs at PRH”, etc.

Star Trek for me, I think (though oddly, I’ve played in a Star Wars tabletop RPG but never a Star Trek RPG). My wife and I started watching Deep Space 9 from the beginning about a month ago. I had seen some of it a while back (not everything, busy with school at the time). She had never seen it. We just finished season 1.

I don’t think it qualifies as “old school”, but I do like the Vorkosigan books.

Lately I’ve been on kind of a Scalzi kick. I’m partway through the Interdependency series.

I’ve been there! A friend of mine told me about it.

I hadn’t ever had pho before that. I thought it was good, but I’m not exactly a pho guru.

Yeah, basically you’d have to cut those figures down to 1/4 of what they are before I’d consider them reasonable.

I do agree with you in principle – if the organizer is feeding everyone, it’s only decent to pitch in a few bucks to cover the groceries.

Looking at the post, it’s $345 for commuters – or about $70 per meal.

For people staying in the accommodations, it’s about $210 per night.

Overall, that seems expensive for a camping trip on Meetup.

This is a good point. Intelligent sociopaths do exist. “stupid” and “evil” are not synonyms.

Ugh, I hate that you’re right about this. It used to mean a topic of study in computer science. Now it means…I don’t even know what it’s supposed to mean.

Is it not an ID because of that? I don’t see the relevance of mentioning address here.

Edit: oh, proof of residence? I went back and re-read the GP. It makes more sense in that context.

United States ID card

Passport seems like it sorta fits, but it’s hardly universal.

Did you reply to the wrong comment?
