You are technically correct

The best kind of correct

This is inaccurate

Some of us aren’t under 40

In fairness, Gmail had a similar invite system when it launched and that’s been way more successful than G+

I don’t disagree. I think if it’s an issue the users have the power to resolve it

Right, which is why I put the line after that in

I don’t get it either. Defederation is a tool just like banning or spam prevention. If it’s unused it’s pointless to have.

But you don’t ban everyone for a single offense just like to don’t defederate lightly. If you do then people will move elsewhere and the problem resolves itself

Lot of comments here with single down votes. I wonder how salty op is

Is it requiring a cell for being the 2fa piece? I don’t use GitHub but I’d be surprised if they did. There’s been plenty of options for a while now. Email, authenticators, u2f keys. You should be able to enable 2fa that will use the same data you’re using to access GitHub.

In all fairness that actress showed up fairly often for playing a dead character

I thought that was a step further. Originally it was gold until Reddit made that a thing you could pay them for so people started doing silver and the wheel turned again

Or even make your own, with blackjack and hookers!

Ah but what is enough money for you or I is not enough money for the bigwigs. And since they’re obviously more important, as they’re at the top, we have to have sure they get enough money even if that means you don’t.

But they’ll get you a ping pong table so you can stop thinking about how you don’t know what you’re going to feed your family tonight

Have you tried?

What other job do you get when your experience is tipped work? Or do you go to school to take on debt that will set you back for a long time because the education system is shot too.

Or, maybe, the owners of the restaurant make slightly less profit and pay their employees a living wage.

And maybe landlord start handing over deeds to the people paying their mortgages. But we’re operating in reality and need to consider things that might happen.

If companies eat the cost of pay increases how will the executives afford that new yacht they’ve been eyeing?

Sure but until they do a lot of those people need tips to get by and it’s far from as easy as “just get a different job”

I doubt anyone will want to see Tucker on X past the first couple minutes of hilarity.

But I’m old and I think they call that Molly now

That’s a very big part of it.

When fucknugget wanted to start a company he had plenty of credit either on his own, with his name, or both. If he blew 50k in an attempt he could try again next week.

If I blew 50k I’d be homeless.

It’s way easier to high stakes gamble when you won’t notice you lost.

Before merging with Yutani?

Computing resources got cheaper so development didn’t need to be as careful.

If one month you have $100 for food, but the next month you’ll have $2000 are you still going to eat like you’ve got $100? Of course not!

But another part of the problem is that when development was slim you also weren’t running very many things at once. I can remember writing different autoexec.bat and config.sys files to boot straight into whatever game I was going to play. Most to all of the resources were available.

Now we’re constantly running a handful of things. The OS itself is huge, plus a browser that you haven’t closed with a handful of tabs, plus the app for the store you bought the game from, and whatever else is in the background, and so on. So you feel the drag more because everything wants as many resources as it can grab before something else does.

Which is weird. I don’t know how they even hold the fork.
