Readit NewsI recall as a youngin watching Gary Kildall on the Computer Chronicles. I was always fascinated by what people were doing with computers. I know it is nostalgia and there's infinitely more to learn about today than there was then, but I do miss that era of computing.

I don't want "new and improved". Stop it! Leave my tasty thing alone. The number of times I've changed brands, and never gone back, because "improved"...
And the worst, I buy frozen pizza. Unlike my fellow shoppers, I buy for the best crust flavour, and only meat.
Why?
Because if you want good frozen pizza, buy great crust, meat only, the put fresh veggies on it! Meat freezes well, not so much veggies.
Lately, one brand has added "croissant crust" and also "cheese in crust", and unless a supermarket is the size of all creation, it doesn't have room for one brand with 8 types, by 3 styles.
The result? The best crust, without extra calories(cheese), is now impossible to find.
I had to switch brands.
Just stop it ffs!
The fact that Musk is working in such bad faith here — that he seems so unconcerned with law and the contract he signed — cuts both ways. On the one hand, it will certainly annoy a Delaware chancellor; Delaware likes to think of itself as a stable place for corporate deals, with predictable law and binding contracts, and Musk’s antics undermine that. On the other hand it might intimidate a Delaware chancellor: What if the court orders Musk to close the deal and he says no? They’re not gonna put him in Chancery jail. The guy is pretty contemptuous of legal authority; he thinks he is above the law and he might be right. A showdown between Musk and a judge might undermine Delaware corporate law more than letting him weasel out of the deal would.
If enough money makes you untouchable by the law, then our system is simply broken.
Back on topic, I absolutely cannot listen to music with words when I code. I'll intermittently type lyrics instead of what I was intending to do. Anyone else cursed with such a thing?
If anyone cares, I actually like a lot of the vaporwave/outrun/whatever it's called now stuff when coding. Techno is a bit too jarring, and while I love classical, it either puts me to sleep or carries me away in thought.
I do all the cooking for our family because I'm pretty good at it. A few things that help me. First is mise en place. I read through the recipe and lay out all the ingredients and prep them (dice, chop, measure, etc). The next thing is I read through the recipe several times and picture myself following the directions. This greatly helps me determine my timing for everything.
Not trying to fix you. Just thought I'd throw out some ideas in case you wanna try.
EDIT: Forgot to mention music. I can't code to music with lyrics. Nor can I code to music that has too many sharp edges. If it has a nice, smooth, consistent beat, I can really get some stuff done, though.
That's 75 million out of about 258 million Americans of voting age. Who are you trying to impress? That's not a majority, and if abstentions counted as votes for "none of the above" then Trump would be seen as the fucking loser he's been since around 1988, and Biden would be in a boomer gulag^W^Wnursing home where he belongs.
> What will happen when those Republicans - the same people who you are calling "hateful and paranoid" - win the next two election rounds which they seem to be poised to do?
I expect them to become even more openly fascist than they've been thus far. It will happen here, and maybe we need to lose the republic before we can understand the value of keeping it.
The tree of liberty might be overdue for a good watering.
> Do you expect them to take your opinions into consideration
That would imply that they currently do so, or used to in the past. I won't say that Republicans want me dead because I'm a working-class, autistic, openly bisexual atheist and the child of an interracial marriage, but I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of them wouldn't so much as piss on me if I was on fire.
> How do you expect to be able to run your country like that, other than by running it into the ground?
Look here, brother. Who do you think you're jiving with that cosmic debris? I don't run shit; I just work here.
Good grief, you get hit by nearly all the Fucker Carlson hate spew.
Keep your head low... and stay safe.
What I realized, is they use it to keep track of their kids, funny cat videos that trigger the recording, and most importantly, as a 2 way radio to talk or listen to the kids. That last point, well, I found out they can also listen to my conversations an my kids.
I asked them to point their front porch camera so that it doesn't record my front driveway, just theirs. and they lost their shit. They confirmed they record audio and video. They asked if there was a problem. I said no problem with them. I'm not comfortable with the audio/video recording me or my friends conversations if company comes over to talk to me on my porch or driveway.
I really didn't need to tell them anything, it's self evident why someone wants a camera point away. Needless to say, after I asked them in the winter, one of them refuses to speak to me and crosses the street and avoids me.
These people use surveillance to supervise their kids, and don't care about the fact that their neighbors (me) could be recorded, and they could be hacked or footage access by random people, because Amazon isn't exactly the king of privacy.
I believe these cameras haven't decreased crime. They also don't really add more security. It's a shame though they are everywhere, with disregard for privacy right on people's property. So yes, I'm biased. I have no love for Ring.
Friend: Have you any success bringing your neighbors on board.
Me: There's been a setback. They're currently not speaking with me.
Friend: That is unfortunate. We're talking a lot of money.
Me: I know. I'll fix it.
Friend: You better.
