Just commanded someone 'have a good day'. How terribly presumptuous of me.
@Laird_Dave And they got their first wake up call a few weeks ago. A second one now. If they keep on ignoring the problem, they will be next and face far higher costs to fix it and in addition a big hit to their reputation. That's called risk calculation. Make the wrong decision and you risk going out of business. @mrshsaxon
@jwildeboer @mrshsaxon I agree. However, there are a lot of things that are not reasonably fast and easy taken off the grid.
Where this is possible, it would be absolutely moronic to not implement it as a stop-gap-measure at least until something better can be implemented.
For other applications - they're up the creek without a paddle...

I will not stop until Washington lets you get an ID with B on it (for bungender).
@ariadne I want the option to just have that field blank. BTW, my sympathies on the whole SSH thing. Alpine is the good Linux. The one that doesn't make me want to throw furniture.

Ça fait du bien de constater que l'espionnage à l'ancienne fonctionne encore.
@mrshsaxon @jwildeboer one shop != an entire chain, one chain != each and every retailer
Especially in retail margins are slim and many, many owners, managers and others try to cut costs wherever possible, thereby generating (often unnoticed) risks.

Un tee-shirt en solidarité avec la Palestine révèle les tensions autour d’un collège tarnais
Dans le Tarn, la décision d’une principale de collège d’exclure un élève pendant huit jours au seul motif qu'il avait porté un tee-shirt floqué « Intifada 48 » a provoqué la colère de nombreux parents d’élèves. L’incident met en lumière les dysfonctionnements qui s’accumulent dans cet établissement.
i feel like i tend to use commas more often than native english speakers
and i understand that the rules of english don't require using them as often as german or russian, but it does sometimes seem like native speakers, including people who should know better, just put them based on vibes
@zzt no no that's correct, a humiliation conga of horrible things happening to you and when you say "why?" they go HOW DARE YOU

Some time ago I was directed to the FSF hiring page and I was sitting on the fence wrt their remote vacancy - I really need any paying job, but it was FSF. And then this slavery banger was dropped, easing my choice.
In a couple of weeks I will run out of savings on a hard level, so it won't be a problem - dead doesn't need a housing and a food.
But if by any chance you have or you know about any remote software creating/managing (or whatever) job - please, let me know: SWE/DevOps/DataEng/SyOps/CatHerding - who cares at this point.

Added: I'm located in Uruguay, mostly overlapping with the continental USA, but I had worked with EU before and at this point I'd work even with NZ. Any form of collaboration - contractor, b2b, EOR.

New blogpost:
"New UK rules for consumer subscription contracts"
One for people who run businesses who sell subscriptions to consumers in the UK.
The detail is quite complicated, even if the principles are simple enough, and it has taken me most of my day so far to get my head around this... enjoy!

huge improvements in M2 (head voice)!
Unfortunately at E5 I have to swap to M3 (flageolet/whistle register/girl falsetto) which is like a whole different thing
