That’s because they’re trying their best to ignore and silence him to death.

Is he talking about Musk?

I… I thought a middle manager is any manager who’s not the very lowest manager, and not the CEO? As in, any manager who has managers above and below them?

No, I did not have to learn that the hard way. I could have learned it another way. You’re objectively wrong. And you don’t always have a backup. Especially not back in 1995, when this happened. Back then, backups typically happened nightly. So even with a backup, I would still have lost a day’s worth of work.

I fell for a similar (but less) obvious joke on my first Linux installation back in 1995. That one used dd instead of rm. I lost a lot of code that I had written. After that, I’ve failed to see the humor in this kind of joke. There’s always the risk that someone new doesn’t understand it’s a joke, and tries it out.

This is what I’ve been saying about US politics for a long time. They’ve got two parties - the far right, and the batshit crazy right.

They didn’t say scientists are the first target, they said scientists are usually the first target. Didn’t say that they were the first target in this case.

I’m assuming he threatened her as she was going into or coming out of the restroom.

Perfect, thank you very much! That means I’m a lot more likely to back it.

Interesting. To be useful for me, they’d have to come with “unlit” versions, since I always add actual dynamic lights (flickering torches, etc) in Foundry VTT. With lamp light drawn on the floor, it would look silly since that won’t be visible from a distance - only when a PC’s light source shines on it, which makes no sense.

Where do they say that they want microphones listening to people? Just because someone doesn’t like some ways of talking, doesn’t mean that they want 1984-style surveillance of everyone.

Unbelievably enough, it might end up being the rich people in the US who end up saving us all, by deposing Trump because he fucks up their bottom line.

“Lalaland” gets my vote, given that they have completely lost any sense of reality.

Correct. But being a private company without shareholders, as I said, means that there are no shareholders. :-)

So a private company without shareholders will be the first, then.

Yes, and the same goes for “medium”: one medium, several media. When people say “media” now, they typically mean what used to be referred to as “mass media”, that is, newspapers, TV, etc.

Hello there, fellow Internet old-timer!

Well, at least in our case, it wasn’t something that we bought. I’m pretty sure it came with our MS-DOS.

That was it, yes.

I figured it out - it was memmaker. It automatically edited autoexec.bat (and possibly also config.sys, I’m not sure).
