Very good analogy. They’re also ignoring that getting faster and faster at reaching a 50% success rate (a totally unacceptable success rate for meaningful tasks) doesn’t imply ever achieving consistently acceptable success.

It was on a sign where I once worked, but that was almost 10 years ago.

They wouldn’t push to main at the same time tho, they would push to the branches they’re working on. Unless their organization is very badly run, and then it’s probably already happened before just because it was Tuesday.

IN CASE OF FIRE

1. git commit
2. git push
3. exit building

Ok let me Sheldon it for you: Yes, deals existed “back in the day” as the saying goes, but fans were not aware of (or reactive to) the business aspects of gaming enough for the deals to be the subject of headlines or controversy.

So has fire insurance on game company office buildings, but fans never cared about it or boycotted games over it, etc.

I’m confused - by Abbot do you mean Gov. Abbott of Texas, and are we talking about the same issue? Cuz the 99-1 vote was about a senate bill regarding AI. Greg Abbott can’t vote on senate bills, and there’s no senator named Abbot.

I long for the era when fans who were asked if they would swallow future exclusivity deals would stare blankly and say, Wat?

What does it mean for Lemmy communities to be partners? I mean, most of them on the list seem related to Today I Learned, but there’s also Jokes, Comedy Heaven and Lemmy Shitpost. Not putting those communities down, but what does the partnering mean?

It has a mildly sweet taste and also causes brain damage

Well… but so does Jack Daniel’s. Interestingly, the Romans were aware of the dangers of lead poisoning, including that it could cause madness - which they called “plumbism” (plumbum being the Latin word for lead). Kind of like we know about the dangers of alcohol, flavored sugar water, and many other things we consume wantonly. Like us, they apparently just didn’t GAF.

Expecting people to know about that 99-1 vote might be misplaced optimism, since it hasn’t been made into a meme yet.

Thanks, cap’n.

Instead of laws keeping up It also might turn out to be a case where culture keeps up.

Twenty years ago tracking armed thugs in ski masks would have been called a public service.

Was Ted the 1 vote or was he in Cancun for the roll call?

In other news, tech firms propose new idea for lucrative government contracts.

Accused???

Well alrighty then, I hereby accuse the operators of donaldjtrump.com of piracy! Anybody else notice any piratical activity? Foxnews.com seems pretty fishy.

But then aren’t people who do get jobs so they can have healtcare mooching off free healthcare?

Not saying it’s unreasonable to err on the side of caution in opposing anything Trump does, but the move to end birthright citizenship is aimed at the automatic citizenship granted to anyone born on US soil, and anyone born anywhere with at least one American parent. The goal is to suppress non-white voting by invalidating citizenships for people MAGA considers “foreigners”. Most Americans were born in America to American-born parents, and have nothing to worry about unless MAGA tries to redefine citizenship at the Constitution level.

I see nothing wrong with making sure people who vote are citizens, what I object to is kicking actual citizens off the voting roles because they’re not Republicans.
