I think it might have exploded if I hit “undo”

Adobe basically invented the SaaS model. It’s not really practical to bootleg most Adobe products anymore either so most people break down and just pay the million dollar a year subscription fee so they can keep using it.

Communism is incompatible with private property or classes which is why no matter how many states write “communism” on the tin, what they actually put in it is just fascist enforced state capitalism.

China is not more communist or even socialist than the USA. A strong ruling class loves fascism and hates socialism. They are actively hostile to communism.

China is state capitalism anyway. There isn’t much Communist about them. The “party” is their 1% permanent ruling class.

That just goes with a territory of having an iPhone. When you bought that device you signed on to a culture of consumption that is enforced by the developer of that device.

The developer can’t force Apple to let the developer give it to you for free. Apple doesn’t tolerate free very well and anything that is free on Apple is likely either a privacy nightmare or is paid for by some subscription you have with Apple.

This isn’t a problem with the app It’s a problem with the Apple.

Sometimes we have to make sacrifices to uphold our principles.

Not getting abused by Sony and it’s ilk Is just one of the many principles that we can uphold at minimal risk and for minimal cost.

I’m curious where you are that a business line doesn’t cost more than a residential one because in my area it’s three times as much. I am fortunate enough that I get symmetrical gigabit for $90 a month and although they don’t promise static IP my IP has not changed in a while.

If I wanted to get a real static IP I would have to upgrade to a business line It would cost $280 a month.

The series has a very satisfying conclusion.

It’s one of the coolest fucking things we watched this last year.

“For executives” is an important bit left out of the headline.

At first I thought 6 day work weeks sound demented, but then, upon seeing it was for executives I can’t help but wonder if it will even make a noticeable difference, especially since they are openly doing it as a psychological manipulation to compel executives to take the current ‘crisis’ seriously.

By displaying a new power to regulate the internet that they have sworn was impossible in the past: punishing ISPs for customers’ breaking of the law.

Have you ever met the kind of people that keep rats as pets? I’m gonna guess that at least 1% of them have tasted rat milk.

That sounds like a recruitment tactic for the party of impotent rage.

My hourly rate for tutoring is actually about 50% higher than my hourly rate for on call support which is about 100% higher than my hourly rate for work.

I’m trying to afford groceries here, It’s not 90 days payable It’s pay-per-play. I’m tired of trying to finance an inhaler while the boss’s favorite child can’t decide on a font color and thinks that 5 minute phone calls at 7:30 on a friday are free.

How dare they fight back. That’s such an antagonistic thing to do. Don’t they know they’re not allowed to defend themselves.

It reminds me of my own father knocking down the bathroom door and then saying, “Put your hands down. I consider that threatening.”

Before the movie Zoolander came out my brother called my general aesthetic “hobo chic”.

After the movie came out, my sister asked if I was going to change it up now that I was fashionable…

If I had the money to change it up I think I probably already would have bought at least new shoes by now.

If you can, get pictures of the dog running unleashed and try to make sure the picturea don’t come from an angle that makes it obvious it was taken from your yard.

Taking photos from the street will give you some enhanced credibility and anonymity while also making the authorities think this is more than a neighborly dispute.

Am the grammar an spelling part of joke?

The luddites were a labor movement. They fought for the rights of skilled workers to make a living.

Somehow you have fallen for the myth that machines make art.

I’ve done that before but one time my boss insisted on sending his son to come pick me up and bring me into the office.

“I think perhaps my coherence on the phone has given you the impression that I would probably be able to make teeth right now, but I don’t really feel like holding a bard parker knife or putting my face that close to the flame right now… My breath might be flammable”

“You don’t need to carve wax, We need someone to reprogram the ovens, We got a new investment we want to try”

I’m not sure why having a piss drunk technician program porcelain ovens at 4:00 p.m. on a Saturday seemed like it was urgent, but I got a free lunch out of it and 4 hours so I won’t complain.

My boss also bought me an nice bottle of knob Creek later in the week to thank me for coming in on a weekend.
