Create a dotfiles repo in git. Gives you a way to track changes to your .bashrc or .zshrc

Evil. Pure evil.

If you vote republican, you support this evil.

They don't have the talented programmers needed to make API changes happen.

reddit is an old school internet site. In that it was originally hacked together by very motivated people. But once the novelty wore off, and the tech debt started piling up, the motivated people either left or got promoted. It should have been trivial to add things like headline editing, but that never happened because their code and DB is a huge huge mess.

Overshadowed by the API fuckup was something that really spoke to how badly off they are. They deleted old private messages! Their schema or infrastructure is so utterly fucked up that they couldn't roll back whatever made that happen. People lost years of communication, just gone. No backups, no "go to this new page to download an archive of your messages", nothing.

It should have been easy to incorporate rate limiting into the API. It should have been easy to serve ads to 3rd party clients. It should have been a no brainer to charge heavy/advanced API users a nominal monthly fee. Mod tools should have been implemented over a motherfucking decade ago!

Utter incompetence. Completely clueless. Fucking useless.

It really angers me because they had it handed to them on a plate. But instead they fucked around and found out.

Small positive: the corp I work for has a slack channel for neurodiverse people, and the support in there is pretty good. Frank discussions about masking, coping mechanisms, and self care. Plus the client I'm contracted to also explicitly calls out neurodiverse accomplishments, as well as actually firing bullies.

I don't recall anything like that even 10 years ago. I think things are getting better for us, slowly but surely.

When I was growing up, my oh so loving mother decided I wasn't allowed to be in the house alone and she would only pay for child care for my brother.

I got very used to sitting outside the back door starving for 4 hours after school waiting for her to get home.

15 minutes is nothing. I'd probably only just get started on a good daydream by then.

And, yes, I'm no-contact with my mother.

I wonder if he's spiraling due to drugs or mental illness. The fake obituary post really seems to have upset him.

As well it should. They saved a lot of lives.

Womp womp.

Firefox is faster than chrome now.

I think you're right. As much as it galls me, he'll suffer no consequences because he has millions of armed angry followers. One speech from him might actually start a civil war.

Fuck rupert murdoch and fox news for ratcheting up the rhetoric over the years to keep their viewers scared, angry, and glued to their TVs. And fuck right wing talk radio for doing the same thing.

Ol' musky gonna be mad. He might call the jailbreakers pedos.
