Slaves

Trail of Tears

You are joking right?

You know that a bunch of people who didn’t want to be were sent to those states and are stuck there right?

The same reason people use Discord for their software comms, devs are notoriously lazy.

Here is the official press release.

It didn’t take that long to find, I wish people would link primary sources more often.

GitHub isn’t for users it’s for devs.

I haven’t tried the new one but I was a fan of the original.

Can we go the other direction and bring back the Duke?

I’m pretty sure that already happened, that was why they sued Stability IIRC.

That one is on Apple. Not because they pushed touchscreens as luxurious, but because Apple was generally seen as a luxury brand when people were first switching from phones with buttons to iPhones. The rest is just the general market reaction to a fad, in this case the ultra minimalist fad that also came from Apple.

Serious answer: giving thanks.

We are talking about U.S. President Ronald Reagan, so that hardly seems relevant.

Huh? I think you need to pay better attention to user names.

None of the tech workers I know have been resistant to the idea of unions and neither am I. I would say it’s the exact opposite actually, like there is always some reason I can’t join whatever union or that we can’t form a new one for tech workers. So you end up with this tiny group of devs in the CWA, and this other tiny group in the UAW, and a bunch more who work at a place that has a contract with the IBEW but they can’t join that and on and on and that’s before we even get started on the number of people who are now considered contractors and can’t join whatever union anyway.

I’m not sure why a community would do that, like are there any that restrict voting? It’s a fundamental part of the platform.

If we waited until everybody was ready for every feature we would never get any features. I’m really not sure that “third party apps aren’t finished yet” is an argument against using a feature of the platform.

Personally the issue I have is that this is what crossposting is for. Posting it over and over just takes up more space on servers that are largely paid for by donations.

I think a really good ‘for instance’ of what we are talking about is the Pentium Overdrive released in the early-mid 90s. It was a Pentium class processor designed to fit the 486 (previous generation, also where the Pent part of Pentium came from) socket. They have never not been able to backport new instruction sets they just don’t and now we have even more evidence of that.

No tone, just wondering why you reiterated the part about millennials in their 30s back to me.

Did… Did you not read my original comment?

Then who exactly is this meme about?
