We used to have them until several years ago they were deliberately removed. Their roots were destroying the roads and sidewalks, as well as infiltrating the underground infrastructure.

The metrics are the only important part! How else are we supposed to know how good the line is unless we constantly stress test the line by collecting data? Your ability to use the line is not a useful metric, so we don’t worry about that.

We know when you lie. We can see uptime stats.

And it took a lot of hard work by a lot of people to adopt new date standards to avoid that problem. Now it’s time to adopt new IP standards, and it’s going to take a lot of hard work by a lot of people.

No thanks, I’m FIN.

Get a head start on your morning!

People put bread just loose in a breadbox? That’s disturbing. Keep the bread in the bag, but put it in the box so it doesn’t get squished.

Don’t dense urban cities require landlords?

That poses an interesting question. If they can change the terms, and say that you agree to the changes by continuing to use their software, and they remove the clause allowing you to use the previous agreement, then can you use the previous agreement? It’s a bit of a buried shovel problem. Have you agreed to not use a previous agreement by continuing to use the software, or can you stick to the old agreement that lets you use the old agreement?

“By continuing to use the software, you agree to the new terms…” which is, of course, hogwash, but wouldn’t stop them from say “Sorry, the new terms were released and you agreed, so pay up.”

Enforcability is one of the major issues, and why companies try so hard to keep issues like this from the courts.

But do the terms you signed say they are allowed to change the terms at any time with notice?

People have been trying to do that for decades now. It won’t suddenly happen between now and next election.

I’m not saying it’s a perfect solution, or even a good one, but as long as elections are winner-take-all first-past-the-post, then decisions will always come down to two parties. The fact of the matter is, if people who would vote Democrat instead vote third party, then the Republicans will win. No justified grievances will change that. Given their recent track record, the Republicans will be much worse for equality.

So it comes down to this: a third party may be better than the Democrats, but the Democrats would be better than the Republicans. Voting third party, while better for one conscience, would result in worse outcomes in reality, because it would result in a win of the third-place pick. Therefore the only logical choice is to vote for our second-place pick. Unless we can improve our voting system before the next election, that is.

Unless you’re someone who tends to B-negative anyway.

I live in a hole on the ground. Almost literally.

Roughly speaking, there are three different ways people handle when something they enjoy is changed in a way they don’t enjoy.

The first simply cut their losses and move on, abandoning the thing. Nothing wrong with that. Things change and it’s okay to move on to something else. Companies that are causing harm to their user base should suffer the consequences of their decisions. Do this too much, though, and you may find you abandon your loves too easily.

The second just accept and bear it. Arguably nothing wrong with that as long as you still enjoy it. Just be careful that apathy is not taken for permission for further change.

The third will attempt to fight back in an attempt to preserve it. These are the type who still use Reddit even though they know it’s broken. They do not abandon it because to do so is to lose it entirely. They are trying to work within the system to change the system. Nothing wrong with that either, as long as you know when the battle is lost. They obviously don’t believe it has been lost yet.

You know, I’m sure I came across one earlier, but I can’t find it now. I did find https://git.sr.ht/~kline/firebee now though, but I don’t think that’s what I had found before.
