as a contractor if the state could just transparently handle my sales tax that would greatly simplify my life/business/tax and greatly reduce the fear that im fucking it up somehow.

i think that guy works for us now :D

the best bit is he pings multiple senior devs in slack separately.

so we are all wasting our time doing the same shit in parallel for the same muppet.

if you wanna test it out and its not available:

about:config ~> browser.tabs.groups.enabled ~> true

personally i find sidebery superior.

he’s gotta get his “deal” or whatever the fuck this is about well before the midterms when he losses his majority.

ideally you can get some non-senile democrat leadership in place before then… but i guess not. rot is deep.

counter argument: taco rice and spam isn’t actually healthy, but lying about obachan being dead so you can keep pocketing her pension means you can buy more chu-hai.

and nothing of value was lost

maybe log off and do some irl stuff?

Something I’m noticing at my ${SHITTY_FUCKING_JOB} is meetings as a means of spreading blame when the person tasked with delivery is completely incapable and/or unqualified.

maybe we could start to reduce the cost of electric cars by not overloading them with all the connected internet of shit crap?!?

i know the kids in china like to have karaoke machines in their cars… but i kinda just want bluetooth for my music and thats it.

Malthus is back baby!

VM’s aren’t great for development. The performance is poor and the DX is a pita so devs do dumb shit like mount their keys or entire home directory inside it negating the security benefits.

Thinking more along the lines of firejail seamlessly integrated with pip/venv/nvm/composer/whatever.

I think deno has greatly improved security sandboxing?

But yea you are 100% correct… It’s always going to be a never ending arms race. The status quo is just ridiculous.

with the amount of effort that goes into tooling on tooling on tooling wrapped in tooling we subject ourselves to, you would think we could come up with a secure-ish execution environment for all the random shit we run :\

my mum used to do that to make sure i actually went to glorified baby sitting school.

new culture war just dropped: them femocrats is going to take away your truck…

Not just this, other stations on line are really fancy, lots of sandstone, huge open spaces, extravagant artworks… it’s really impressive for a city that’s usually pretty tacky.

Ya I think most of the budget issues are tunneling related.

i dont know why we build such extravagant stations… or who convinced who to spend bank… or how treasury didnt hack the project to bits for being $10b over budget… but absolutely zero complaints from me.

if you are going to coax the car brained out of their precious cars, public transport needs to be at least nice.

my best stays have been apartments… my worst stays have been in apartments.

you kinda dont know wtf you are going to get, especially on airbnb where the reviews are bs folksiness “the host is amazing, thank you so much” garbage. reviews on booking.com are much more reliable and brutally honest.

hotels maybe meh, but they are far more reliable and you have a better idea of what you are getting. a “serviced apartment” is ideal, but often $$$.

i very much understand that airbnb’s sterilise communities and drive up rents. taxing the fuck out of them would remove a lot of the slum lord garbage from the market but keep the option there for ppl really want that.

“accident”… Like just a little woops a daisy

repeal the 2nd while you at it
