Every time I try to slow down my car, I hear chopped up and recontextualized Amens...

I hate it that you're so right about this.

This has nothing to do with DeepSeek. The world has run out of flashy leather jackets for Jensen to wear, so nvidia is toast.

I'm delusional, then. Spotify hasn't paid me a red cent, but piracy has indirectly put money in my pocket and food on my table.

Sometimes it does. Piracy drives up sales of traditional media (think: vinyl), as well as increasing crowd size at live performances. Also, merch sales scale with awareness of an artist. All of these things equal the payout of millions of plays on spoffy.

I did not know this.

The Salesperson is incredibly important. They take the person responsible for making the purchase decision out to lunch and for rounds of golf, after all!

I cannot count the number of times I was able to fire off an email with a status update to the PM "JIRA is down, again, I completed XYZ, update your gantt charts, my part is done." I know that they paid a whole team of folks to craft the interrelations of those tasks for a system that hardly ever worked.

Allow me to regale you with a tale of Sun Identity Manager and XPRESS. A strange mangling of xml and pseudo javascript-esque pile of shit used for identity transformations for disparate systems.

On second thought, let's just not. I'd rather let that PTSD inducing memory slowly fade away, much like SunIDM did after Larry bought them to poach their customer base.

The world would be a better place without you.

The GNU Testament, as it were.

The biggest issue here is that (at least in Texas), your ID has to be checked by a specific company.
