”Look at me ye mighty, and despair”

I did the same with OS/2 WARP and, insanely enough Windows NT (which could netinstall). I couldn’t afford a CD drive.

I also tried splitting windows 95 onto 1.44 MB floppies.

Chef’s kiss URL extraction!

It’s listed in the article if you read it, and I’ve seen multiple reports. There are also credible reports of other human rights violations around the invasion of Ukraine. I don’t know whose water you’re carrying here or if this is some campist crap.

Everyone is 12 theory strikes again

Also, the times rats got into the networking room and ate random cables. I should add the network was built by volunteer students in the ‘90s.

I was once responsible for a student house (we don’t have dorms in the US sense, this is the closest we have) and I have similar experiences but less extreme. My favourite was when I had forgotten to configure DHCP filtering and someone plugged in a router the wrong way so it started offering DHCP (that didn’t work) to everyone in the building, in a race with our upstream ISP.

Wow. Since I’ve met so many of that kind of person online that tonight never crossed my mind.

It’s even worse than what you suggest.

Try finding:

• a solid email client: Thunderbird can’t search all my email for even things that are in the subject line
• a calendar application with support for CalDAV and Exchange
• an office suite matching the Microsoft or even Apple offerings of 2004
• reasonable cloud sync
• a decent vector graphics tool a lá Affinity Designer, a cheap tool developed by a small indie company

These are regular requirements for office work that I’ve had trouble with.

Oh and I also routinely have trouble turning off my computer, it just freezes at a black screen. This is a stationary computer with nothing weird in it.

The or part in that statement is really what kills you, as you sort of imply. You spend five hours almost getting your scanner to work, some times, unreliably.

That’s a worse outcome than the scanner refusing to work entirely in many cases.

I needed it for a printer the other day!

It really is an annoying piece of shit

They usually get a slap on the wrist; cf instigating race riots gives longer sentences than blocking a highway.

Sounds like that should be assholes without cars

I tried to read the linked Twitter thread from Ars and good god it’s terrible. Half of it is people complaining about the demo version without understanding that it’s the demo version. Even though people in the thread keep explaining it to them.

A lot of Americans supported the equally illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, I still don’t think they deserve even how shitty their non-occupation civil government is.

Given how war works I’m almost certain there will be war crimes against the civil population here. Not as bad as what the Russians are doing in their occupied territories I sure as fuck hope and expect, but worse than anyone deserves. I can see Ukrainians getting to be a bit vindictive etc about this, they’ve earned it, but as armchair commentators online at a safe distance we should fucking show some empathy for people in a shitty situation they have very little control over.

I can’t control my government and I live in a democracy. I don’t blame Russians for most of what their state does either.

Does this happen to you often? My impression is people usually tell you after they’ve succeeded.

Kyriarchy encompasses sexism, racism, ableism, ageism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Catholicism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, classism, xenophobia, economic injustice, the prison-industrial complex, colonialism, militarism, ethnocentrism, speciesism, linguicism and other forms of dominating hierarchies

Anti-Catholicism? You mean the global formal hierarchy that’s solidly historically in support of fascism and against feminism? O…Kay. Why is that the literally only religion listed there? I get why you’d want to protect minority religious practices but why single out Catholicism?

Wow, uh, that’s uncalled for but I guess user name checks out.

It’s extremely sensible to think it’s not great for someone in a position of authority to use that authority to do the things they’re meant to do and not other things.
