re: doomer kids (long, rambly)
@elilla We believed that the old racist grannies and uncles would eventually die out, and that racism would be a distant memory (yes, in hindsight we were somewhat naive) and that the terrible old gaurd would eventually be replaced by younger, more progressive people.
re: doomer kids (long, rambly)
@elilla We were told that we could be anything we want. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, artists, the world was open for us and we could just take it.
re: doomer kids (long, rambly)
@elilla On Star Trek we saw a possible future where technology could solve all of our problems and turn Earth into paradise. At the same time cell phones became commonplace. Sure, there was some concern about Y2K, but also the world was on an economical upswing that we didn't think would end. At the same time there were these wonderful millennium development goals being announced, promising an upward trajectory that would continue more than a decade.
re: doomer kids (long, rambly)
@elilla I'm a kid of the 90's. We had a very, very different perspective. When I was 7 years old, the Berlin wall fell and the cold war ended. Shortly after my 8th birthday, Apartheid ended in South Africa (where I live). From there onward, computers advanced at an astonishing pace. The Internet went from something that sounded cool on TV to something that were commonplace...
@Linkshaender Sure, although both static and dynamic type sites each have their pros and cons.
@Linkshaender The good part is that Wordpress has plenty of plugins that let you do just that. I think just the hugo exporter alone will do pretty much anyone will ever need.
@LALegault I bet you she's going to get a lot of votes for an independent this year.
@johnny Haha yeah, binaries grabbed from other debs and other distros, proprietary bits... literally anything!
@LALegault I read the OP and your comment again, and I say liberals still love Greta. Those who don't, don't get to call themselves liberals.
TIL that there's an entire western half of Florida besides the usual Miami, Orlando and Jacksonville.
@LALegault Are you kidding I love her more and more. What kind of fake-ass liberals do you hang out with!?
@brainblasted And they were caught doing that, with the CEO sending some of the "or else" messages from his own phone and mail, and things are basically escalating from there.
@brainblasted Here's a TL;DR. Wordpress's trademark policy prohibited the use of "Wordpress" in plugin names and companies who build products on it, but allowed WP in their trademark policy. WP Engine, one of these plugins, became extremely successful to the point where they started to make more money than Wordpress. So, Wordpress started to try to extort money out of them and quitely removed the WP clause from their trademark policy and accused WP Engine of confusing users...
@atoponce I wonder what useful bit of information my brain is pushing out in order to remember this.
@srtcd424 @hambier @brot @kernellogger The btrfs developers really doesn't have to take that imho. btrfs deserves to be in the Linux kernel much more than bcachefs at this stage. The reason why bcachefs has relatively less problems is that it has a *tiny* userbase in comparison and used by people who tend to know that it's experimental.
Israel has killed 700 civilians in Lebonon since Monday. Jesus Fucking Christ what's wrong with you people!?
