worst

I concur, if only because it’s also Dutch for “sausage”, which I find highly appropriate in this case.

“I also like to live dangerously.”

So is comparing a Microsoft bug to the highlight of the Apollo project and conveniently ignoring all the setbacks that both led up to and followed it.

I don’t mind bashing Microsoft where warranted, but this just feels like cherry picking from a long list of technical and procedural failures.

Apollo 1:

Fire, I smell fire. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Outlook malfunctioning is extremely tame compared to the issues the early space program ran in to. Somehow this meme really rubs me the wrong way.

You missed the joke. That was a quote from Deus Ex, the game depicted in the screenshot. 🙂

And the spacing. So weird and unnatural.

Why? It’s completely natural that people tend to distance themselves from anything that smells like decomposition and rot.

He and Michiel van den Bos basically wrote the soundtrack of my youth. Really bizarre to see Siren is struggling to land a full time job. Sad times indeed.

It does depend a bit. The tax brackets are nonsense of course, but there are countries with allowance systems that don’t fully decrease to zero as your income rises and at some point end in a hard cap. In those cases a raise might end up costing you due to losing the last part of an allowance.

But that never withheld me from accepting a raise, you’re going to have to push pass that threshold at some point anyway.

There is never a reason to not back in, and the end result is always a better parking job and an easier exit.

With the exception of diagonally placed parking spots next to a one-way lane, like the 30-60 degree ones here: https://www.dimensions.com/collection/parking-lot-layouts.

If the lane is wide enough you might be able to back up into a 60 degree one, but I’d hardly qualify it as a better parking job or easier exit.

With regular parking lots I fully agree that backing up is usually far superior.

If they wanted to live, they shouldn’t have signed up to kill people for the empire. Instead of following orders, they can refuse them.

Guess at least it’s good to see there isn’t any difference between Americans and Russians after all.

Linux being a kernel is hardly relevant though. The law lies the responsibility at the “operating system providers”, looking at the definition in the article that would be the developers/organisation behind the individual distributions. Politicians don’t care if each distro comes up with their own solution or gets built-in to the kernel.

But personally I think they all just give this law the finger, put a ‘not for use in California’ in their licenses and forget about this brainfart.

This indeed ☝🏻

Good, get the fuck out of here and report to /c/dadjokes@lemmy.world on the double. 😋

If only onions and the like didn’t give me such gutwrenching cramps, love the taste, but partaking in anything containing onions, leek or too much garlic just isn’t worth the aftermath. ☹️

“Life finds a way” is a threat, people just forgot that part. Life itself is unstoppable.

Don’t worry, our Sun will take care of life when it starts running out of fuel, expanding and boiling away everything on the surface of our planet.

Haha, don’t worry, no harm done. Maybe I was a bit too subtle in hindsight.

That’s Poe’s Law by the way.

It was meant tongue-in-cheek, you seem to be taking it much more seriously than I intended it to be. 🙂

But in reality is not done because it simply doesn’t bring any benefit.

Fully agree that there is absolutely no benefit to NAT66, it only causes enormous headaches. I sincerely hope nobody uses it these days, this poor bastard however did manage to find a VPS provider that used NAT66 back in 2018: https://blog.apnic.net/2018/02/02/nat66-good-bad-ugly/ 🤢

Have I got news for you. ☹️

Edit: I’ll just add an ‘/s’ for good measure, as apparently I was too subtle. Be sensible, don’t do NAT66.

The plug on that thing is absolutely terrifying, super flimsy and so small you have to almost touch the prongs to plug it in.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the secret of building appliances that outlast their owners.

That’s from IV, and you’re almost correct, it’s “the price of freedom” instead of “peace”. But very memorable indeed!
