Can’t believe relevant xkcd hasn’t been posted.

Up next: companies continue 5-day workweeks anyway, because they’re not even rational in their mandates. (See also: forced RTO).

Also managed to be pretty functional while blacking out nearly daily (at my worst), and interestingly enough, the anxiety during the hangovers (which became pretty much any time in between) is also what finally caused me to turn the corner.

That was an emotional roller coaster. First, I thought it was rabbit or deer poop. Then, I thought it was dog food. Finally, I realized it’s some kind of cereal

This. Also, going by car is significantly more expensive monetarily, when gas and hotel are accounted for.

So “sins” can be either “mortal” or “ceremonial,” and the latter are, post Jesus’s death, ok? How did Jesus’ death affect the mortal sins, if at all?

How does this work lol. VPN is some third-party node that’s relaying network traffic. Do they mean stealing some kind of authentication credentials for said node (maybe baked into the VPN-connecting software itself?)?

Perfect, I’m glad it’s not integrated

xkcd “standards” comes to mind

boil a calf in its mother’s milk

sounds delicious but also surprisingly, not obviously corresponding with a known dish

what would this be called tbh

like cheesy fried veal or something?

oh maybe cheesesteaks? 🤔

the answer is no

how do they rationalize that

Then, to the casual observer, it will look like everything is fine and dandy, furthering the astroturfing propaganda

Awesome. What’s the difference between the three plots here?

Can anyone verify that this is also true for platforms beyond windows (what is plotted in the link by default)?

(I tried to change the plot to show macOS and Linux, but the plotting site is dubiously functional on mobile, plus there are a bewildering number of plot options with long, confusing names).

Right. Never underestimate the absolute stupidity of hierarchies. (Corp bureaucracy in this case).  Stuff gets done just to make people look good based on who can tell the most convincing lie, not based, primarily at least, even on what would be good for the company as a whole.

 Devs, in most cases, are at the very bottom of this all, and therefore pretty much less responsible and have the least autonomy over what they do

Lmao I thought the pixelated 8-bit one must have been one of the niche premium ones (before reading the article)

Nope, they’re making it the default

Wait, do they eat ticks? I would have thought their mouths would be too big to grab them.

The first Tony Yayo album comes to mind. Or wait, was that Young Buck? Some lackluster G-Unit member going solo, at least

Startup/ IPO valuations are, nowadays, based on profit per user, rather than daily active users. (Or, at least, skewed much more towards the former).

So, they (comparatively) DGAF if they get rid of 90% of their users if the 10% they do keep click on a shit ton of ads, or buy useless shit, or whatever.
