This is obviously funny, but I think the end result will be a bit sad. Spammers will (or already are) start to use similar AI programs to cold call people, then transfer to the scammer if they've got a live one. Eventually we're just going to be heating the Earth so that invisible chatbots can have conversations no human will ever hear.

That's my primary gripe too. I could theoretically work around it if the chat search worked. I'll try searching for a specific word to see who said it to me and when, but if it was more than a couple days ago I'm out of luck. Later I'll remember who said it, eventually find them in the sidebar, scroll up 40 pages in the chat, and find the exact word Teams claimed it's never heard of.

Exactly what I was going to say because this hit me a while back. I still have no good solution; I have to delete shows/movies from the *arr then manually delete them from qbitorrent too.

Same here. I was 10 images in and thought it was a little overblown. Picture 11 was the kitchen.

I Think You Should Leave is such a gold mine of meme templates.

Yeah, it was all tapes. We only had to use them once when I worked there: after finding out the UPS connected to the mainframe was a dud. And then it really was roulette because the first two tapes were unreadable, so we ended up with three week old data.

The trouble is that Management's only job seems to be turning their problems into our problems. Or maybe it's just the only thing they're good at.

I'd believe it's real. In 2016 I was at a company trying to migrate off an old IBM mainframe and green screens. It wasn't like an airline with complex or critical code; it was just a barely functional ERP for a warehouse. Source control was the furthest thing from their minds. Some companies and IT departments are very reluctant to change, regardless of how much time and money it save.

It gets worse if you use Microsoft D365 AX products. Then you have to provision an entire Build server for builds which has to run Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10. To do a build you run a pipeline in Azure DevOps, which runs the compiler in a full Visual Studio 2019 environment, which has to run on a special Azure virtual environment running Windows 10 hosted by Microsoft. It's so fragile.

I have not. Is it worth watching?

I am personally familiar with that kind of pirate and I definitely appreciate what they do.

Maybe I should cross-post to AskHistory? I'm not looking for anything specific, really more hoping to learn some things while giving Lemmy users a chance to dump info they find interesting.

 

I saw an article about keelhauling and realized I don't know much about pirates (those on the sea, not the internet) beyond what I've seen in movies. Tell me your most interesting pirate facts. Mythical or historical.
