DevOps is bad because for some reason we've decided to invent new programming languages that you can't debug locally and so you have to keep pushing commits to the pipeline server. It's bullshit.

"Why do you write all your pipelines as shell scripts and then wrap them in yaml at the very end"?

Because then I can run them locally quickly and test individual components of them instead of "edit, commit, push, wait 10 minutes, read error message, repeat".

Except there isn't much of a Google stealing their thunder. Bing isn't better. DDG isn't better.

Thanks, municipalities, by trying to persevere the character of your neighbourhoods, you've managed to destroy the character of Canada.

People are upset about immigrants because of housing. Housing is a problem because cities made it de jure illegal.

Rescheduling an event in Google Calendar with your voice. You can still schedule a new event.

This feature is underutilized because I could never get it to work.

Transbians calling themselves gay furry hackers is not outside of the realm of possibility, but yeah false flag is also possible.

JS is the one that's built into the browser. If JS wasn't built into the browser, it would go onto the trashbin of bad old languages that only survived because of their platform like VBA and ActionScript and .bat batch scripting.

Have you ever considered not working for a giant corporation to fix their products for them for free?

Honestly I'm wondering what Google's long term plan for securing their productivity suite is. The amount of spam I get through Google drive share requests is shocking.

I think you accidentally a word.

I went through all the trouble of enabling the UEFI/BIOS stuff I needed for the upgrade. Then I found out what they did to the taskbar and decided not to get it.

Gargoyles represent the embarrassing side of the Central Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their bodies, broken up into separate modules that hang on the waist, on the back, on the headset. They serve as human surveillance devices, recording everything that happens around them. Nothing looks stupider; these getups are the modern-day equivalent of the slide-rule scabbard or the calculator pouch on the belt, marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society.

I don't think you realize how unwatchably blurry VHS is. I can't believe we ever watched those things now.

DVD is still a bit of a nuisance because of aspect ratios and they're a little blurry because SD, but VHS is just garbage.
