I refuse to believe that the Log Cabin Republicans are a real group.

How mentally unhinged must you be to be gay and also be a Republican?

Next you’re going to tell me that there are atheists that pray and go to church and get Holy Communion.

@feld Apple has all but destroyed their relationship with that market with their treatment of Final Cut Pro. The industry has decidedly moved to Windows now.

@feld But how many people need that? Even most professional photographers don’t need that.

Wait, Apple charges $5000 for a monitor?

And there are idiots that pay this?

No wonder Apple is worth $3 trillion.

Fucking hell.

@feld Did you see the video? They were going based on the federal sentencing guidelines. You should watch the video. It’s spelled out in black and white.

If you think Trump is going to go to jail for the rest of his life over these classified documents, think again.

@feld Looks like the guy died by suicide.

So maybe the safety briefings worked too well.

Oh well. If somebody is hell-bent on killing themselves there’s not much anyone can do to stop them.

@feld Stupid is as stupid does. Also, driving a crane sounds cool. That time of my life I was working for Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios operating the rides or performing in the Main Street Electrical Parade.

@r000t @feld Safety was baked in to everything I did at my last job (Electric Utility). And I worked in IT. We started off every meeting (even with an IT vendor) with a safety briefing. A lot of those lessons and best practices I still carry with me into my personal life. It’s a way of thinking. A way of life.

@feld IKR? Jesus Christ. Clearly that grounds crewman assumed others would be watching out for his safety. Still. What a way to go. Hopefully he lost consciousness pretty quick.

AGAIN?!

@aral @fsologureng @MariaLiv @supernovae @atomicpoet #Facebook is joining the #fediverse to persuade their users to stay. Facebook users are already leaving.

@feld @hankg Isn’t there a Linux/ ELF compatibility layer that can be compiled into the kernel though?

@hankg I love FreeBSD but sadly it’s been 10+ years since I last booted it. pfSense doesn’t count (to me) since I only ran pfSense as a “black box” deployment. But Linux has just become so ubiquitous, and now with WSL2 in Windows 11 I have a full Linux desktop environment that just works.

@hankg I was the last person in my office to “upgrade” to Windows 95. My WFWG 3.11 with Norton Desktop was the epitome of form and functionality. I still have yet to come across a comparable desktop environment since.

@hankg Nothing like going through a FreeBSD kernel.conf file and compiling your first FreeBSD kernel for the first time.

That and compiling Perl from source. I loved compiling Perl from source.

God I miss that.

Fun times!

@atomicpoet @kainoa How do you even know what domains they plan to use so you can block them?

@tomwwolf 😂 They paid $250,000 to be cooped up in a tin can and don’t even have a window to look out of? Wow.

Yeah but there’s one huge problem with this.

It’s Walmart water. So it’s bound to be laced with chemicals, BPA, and microplastics.

Not to mention I wouldn’t be surprised if the water doesn’t come from China.

Also, remember bottled water is not subjected to the same environmental regulations that tap water is.

Bottled Water is regulated by the FDA. The Food & Drug Administration.

Tap water is regulated by the EPA. The Environmental Protection Agency.

Most bottling facilities are self-regulated because the FDA doesn’t have the staff to inspect every bottling plant.

Whereas municipalities are REQUIRED to perform mandatory testing of their water supply and water quality and report those findings regularly to the EPA.

Those water quality reports are publicly available for every municipal water supply in the Country.

This should not be front-page material for CNN. Not when a bunch of billionaire playboys spend over $250,000 to FAFO by going sightseeing to see the graves of over 1200 people.
