Organized religion.

Nothing comes even remotely close.

Sorry to hear that man. But if your family excludes you because you don't have an iPhone/iMessage, maybe you need a new family, not a new phone.

Well, to be honest the ruble has been sucking for a while:

However, it now sucks more.

Unfortunately, I only had limited interactions with him. I was the lead on a project that needed a few things from his team, and we had a number of meetings due to that.

From my limited contact, he seemed like a chill guy. Never made any unreasonable assumptions and had a technical view on how to solve problems.

Pink does not exist either.

I'm not a Biden superfan either but I think people need to be aware of the reality. I have kids that don't feel like voting because "Biden does not excite them". While he doesn't excite me either, it's important to understand that not voting for Biden is essentially a step in the direction of the "other guy", which happens to me MUCH MUCH WORSE than Biden.

It's naive to think that you can go from a to z without going through b, c, d, etc... We don't vote for the ideal candidate, we vote for one that at least seems to be pointing in the right direction and has a chance to win.

Also remember that this whole "both sides are the same shit, so why vote" idea was spread around exactly to discourage people from voting. It's key to be mindful of that.

Man, I'm sad 😔.

I knew him personally (we worked for the same company at a point in time, although very different departments). I'm also a heavy vim user.

We once were in the same meeting where the unsuspecting meeting chair was taking nodes in emacs org-mode. Most of other meeting members were not geeks, so nobody knew who Bram was. I said "Bram, look at this, they're taking notes in emacs just to piss you off", to which he responded "yeah, and it is horrible...." 😁

Farewell and :wq

Ask around the table who has fast reflexes. Get a $10 bill, scrunch it a bit and put it on the table (a bit like a ball). Ask the person to position their hand some 4 inches above the bill, palm down. Then, position your hand much higher (1.5ft) also face down and bet that person that you can grab that bill before they do.

It's misleading because of the distance but if you're just normal fast by the time they react you'll already have the bill in your hands.

For command line sync to the cloud you can use rclone. It's FOSS and works with many different cloud providers.

For a constant sync experience you can use insync. It's closed source and requires a license though, but works reasonably well.

Sorry for the lack of direct links since I'm on the phone.

Maybe he would be interested in going to space on his starship rocket, launched from his newly designed launch pad (by himself, no less, who needs rules and pesky engineers?)

Oh I used sync for Lemmy for years too. Can't wait for it to be available for Lemmy.

It seems that I'm seeing the same posts over and over again and I can't find where to hide them automatically. Is that even possible?
