  • I honestly don't know where else to post this. The first an only live performance of this track. Knocks my fucking socks off.

  • 1991 Ford S10 pickup, on the farm, when I was 8 years old. I only crashed it on the farm once -- in first gear, stopped. Took foot off clutch and lurched forward into the wall in front of me. In my defense, I hadn't been instructed on how to turn it off yet ;)

  • I'm in a hardware rich business. It really helps to have the hardware in hand to physically try something before telling a customer it can be done.

  • Certain kinds of productivity, sure. And definitely on the scale of a civilization, reducing total commuters is fantastic both from and environmental and time-stuck-in-traffic perspectives.

  • I went through their site. It is entirely unclear from their short form license, faq, etc.

    I always presume that, if something is free to the user, you are the product. Exceptions for open source projects, which pixabay doesn't appear to be.

    The real problem with work from home is a manager's ability to track performance. It's generally pretty easy to track things like output. But what if the goals are not just productivity. Sometimes, for the long term health of an organization, you need to have water cooler conversations, and other horizontal knowledge transfer opportunities that arise organically due to proximity. Friday beers often lead to longer term net positives.

  • A nihilistic outlook can be a response to, or defense mechanism caused by depression. But it's also a philosophy that is, ironically, well studied and developed. Not that that matters.

  • Hypothetically: Lemmy instances where every user has to have physically met an admin and proved that they're real or something. And they'll only federate to other instances following the same rules.

    It'll almost be like the early 90s dialup BBS small communities, with FIDOnet ;)
