I do NOT freebase cocaine.

No not really. It does the various services for the most part, but Active Directory is exclusively a Microsoft product. Group Policy in particular also does not have a drop in replacement that’s any sort of sane.

You screwed up your closing parentheses on the first link. Just a heads up.

Tim Poole is so inconsistent with his own opinions that he regularly contradicts himself within the same thought. It’s incredibly cringe inducing and wildly frustrating to even hate listen to his show. He also does some really blaringly racist cherry picking for topics and constantly pushes the “crime is out of control” narrative with only anecdotal evidence. I utterly hate his show and wish he would actually face some repercussions for his Russian payoff (he won’t but I wish he would).

If you voted it’s the Democrats fault. If you didn’t vote it’s your fault.

Also, unless your plan is to exclusively export to the US, then it’s less cost effective to open up new facilities in the US. You just raise prices and and have the consumers take the hit for the tariff. There’s also the problem of logistics for raw materials for whatever products your manufacturing. Those also tend to cost more to acquire stateside.

The worst part is that policy is only a single bullet in the policy foot gun Trump has loaded. It gets even more expensive when the low cost labor is suddenly deported and/or put in camps. Which I realize isn’t even the worst thing about the immigration policy, but just pointing out that it too has consequences to these same people.

A bunch of enterprise services are Windows only. Also Active Directory is by far the best and easiest way to manage users and computers in an org filled with a bunch of end users on Windows desktops. Not to mention the metric shitload of legacy internal asp applications…

This is borderline as ill informed as the people that didn’t know he dropped out at all…

Found Bob Dole’s Lemmy account!

I recieve 15+ phone calls and like 5-10 postcards a day. It’s annoying as the ever living fuck after about a week. In fact, it has made me quite miserable and it makes my blood pressure go up when the phone rings. It gets compounded by the fact that I really need to answer my phone for my job. I have stopped politely telling them to not call, and to add me to the do not call list, and have become really rude.

Like you, I have already voted by mail. You aren’t going to change anything by calling me at this point, nor would you have ever. I mean the choices in this election are a self-aggrandizing lunatic who wants to abolish the Constitution and normal politician. Do they think this is how you sway people? Via a harassment campaign? I just don’t understand…

Okay but in fairness if you put like 1% of that money virtually anywhere but under your matress you’d probably be richer than Bezos now. Even at like 3% interest of a $18,250 compunded over 530 years you’d have about half of Bezos’ net worth.

Not exactly a short story, but Kipling’s The Young British Soldier still tumbles around in my head some 25 years later. Really cemented in me that I don’t want to go die in some other country for some fabricated sense of duty to my country. Not that I wanted to at that point, but for sure made it seem like an extra terrible idea.

Has the 5 year old been drinking? Because I feel like a sober 5 year old would do a better job.

They’re bugs. Major ones. Fundamental flaws in the program. People with a vested interest in “AI” rebranded them as hallucinations in order to downplay the fact that they have a major bug in their software and they have no fucking clue how to fix it.

Congress?

Hackers: Because arcades don’t really exist anymore and no one cares about the high score on for the ones that are still around.

The above comment has also been consumed by AI for training purposes.

Bonus you also get to kick the back of the seat in front of you for the entire flight.

When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be uncle Buck. Unfortunately my brother took that position (down to driving a shit car that randomly backfires) and I’m just a normal dude 😕

Me and the other Brave Little Toaster kids ended up a bit weird.
