While this could be copium for being called out on a spectacularly bad take, in either case it does highlight a shift seen on a lot of platforms. People are (generally) more interested these days in being noticed even at the expense of being respected.

Alma Linux is great. It's like Centos Linux, with a lot of extra steps unnecessarily made because of Red Hat.

So last night I had a lot of luggage (skydiving is a gear-heavy sport) and ordered an XL from @lyft to get me from the airport to home. A Toyota Prius showed up. I paid extra money for a medium sized sedan. And I've been waiting for 2 hours in support chat.

Correction, it was a Camry hybrid, but still, that's not an XL car. That's a mid-sized sedan.

My main workstation was having various problems, mostly related to slowness. It got steadily worse over time and my troubleshooting couldn’t find any root causes. Until now. Turns out the NVMe drive had heat damage.

So someone set the ballot box I've used on fire. My ballot wasn't in there fortunately, but FFS.

Is it common for MPLS networks to provide Internet connectivity in addition to site-to-site, or is it just usually site-to-site (with maybe a gateway).

It's wild how many times I see ads for fake diamonds. I can't imagine how much money this company has wasted on targets like me.

What do you think? Rare Carat is proud to be America’s #1 marketplace for both natural and lab diamonds.

How many of you have 100 PowerPoint, Word, and Excel files named [auto saved] purely because @microsoft won't implement a "save as you go" feature that doesn't require OneDrive, because they're desperately trying to sell you OneDrive.

Red Hat really doesn't like it when you point out they killed CentOS Linux.
