Remember the time when railroaders went on strike because they wanted to be treated like pigs?
Because pigs were treated better than railroaders. Pigs were valuable freight and deserved a long rest after being on a train for 12 hours. No similar regulation existed for the people who ran a train…
Yes. And I’m working there (not KFC!) for nearly 40 years now.
So either they don’t need that long, or they have planned robot takeover for January '31.
Booting Emacs…

Well, then other places will buy that info…
We had such a case in the company, way back before switches got smart enought to deal with this.
Our IT department was not exactly happy…
Russia.
Something common among the rising rightwingers is a “Stop punishing poor Russia!”. The AfD in Saxony Anhalt and Meklenburg-Vorpommern for example are very heavy on “give us back the cheap Russian oil and gas!”
I actually hope that the AfD will somehow rule Saxony Anhalt - it would little damage, as it is an irrelevant backwater state, but it would show that they cannot put their election promises in reality. That would either violate the Grundgesetz (Constitution), violate federal law, require gift showers from the federal government, or plain and simple miracles like raining money. Or even several of those points at once.
Only barbarians shuffle music. There is this concept called “Album”, and it is there for a reason.
Indeed. It starts with implementing the means, arguing with CSAM, terrorism, foreign espionage, or whatever cow is on the main street, and once it is running, it will be abused, both by broadly extending the reach (‘It was initially meant to fight terrorism, but is now used to cover copyright and parking violations.’), and illegal abuse by users (‘Police officer tracks his ex through Flock cameras’).
Absolutely right on the spot. If one is too lazy to post a piece of information in a proper way, maybe just leave it to those who can.
Wait until critizism of The Glorious Party and Our Beloved Supreme Leader is considered “piracy”.
He still does not understand what he did.
No more wars were needed after humans were extinct…
That math problem did not scale well…
Flowers for Algernon
The big question is: How many things are they breaking? If they have to fix nearly a thousand bugs in a real hurry, they’ll probably break at least as many other things.
Loads of things.
Kitchen: My stove us 30+ years old. Loads of kitchen gadgets, too. The older knife set my wife uses (she is too afraid to use mine), but mine might touch the 20 years, too.
Living room: The table is 30+, as well as the side table I made.
Basement: The shelves I built 30ish years ago - and they will probably last longest, as they are welded from steel.
And thousands of other things.
Celtic, western Germanic (Angles, Saxons, Frisian), Latin, northern Germanic (Danish, Norse), and in 1066 finally French (which is a mixing bowl in its own right). The trenchcoat is way more crowded than you think.

I have not used that emoji in the last 58 years, and never missed it.
