@CKsTechnologyNews The numbers *are* large and impressive, but the graphs are manipulating them to seem more extreme.

@CKsTechnologyNews this is very cool but I just want to point out that images 1 and 4 are bad #statistics. The scale starts and ends at arbitrary values to make numbers seem extra large.

Actually, cybertheologians have long been divided as to whether Package Management Hell is a condition of eternal conscious deployment failure, or merely a temporary if aeons-long, state of purgatory in which one's package management sins are gradually exposed and overcome through multiple updates to the package manager itself.

"there are no microorganisms that can break most of them down (yet)." sounds like a pitch line from a monster movie. like some kind of creature that metabolizes plastic but then also becomes a huge plastic super-organism that comes ashore and breaks down all our carbon-carbon bonds

So, why would #GCC's cc1 need to be 25 MB in #debian (and that's without debugging symbols -- with is closer to 150MB) ? C's not that big of a language...is most of that optimization code or something?

I'm trying to remember the title of this #SF book that consists of several vignettes of extremely long lived people (basically immortal). One of them involved a guy that meditated to slow down his body to kill himself and, I think, he got absorbed into a tree or something. sound familiar?

vision coverage is presented in such a bizarre way. in benefit election portals, it's like they go out of their way to deemphasize it's VSP that provides insurance coverage vs your health insurance. then, they don't send out a member card (at least not at my company: it depends on what the company asks for from what I've heard). like, I had no idea who provides my vision coverage until I needed to pay for an eye exam -- I thought it was just a part of my general medical

We saw this in 2007 during the 2D virtual world boom and so many failed corporate environments, we saw it in the mid 90s with media fever dreams.
All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.

Q: What do you call two network operators with an unhealthy relationship?
A: A twisted pair.
https://navat.substack.com/p/diy-acoustic-camera-using-uma-16 omg I had been wanting to build something like this for year to find this weird sound I heard in my bedroom, but I didn't know what it's called. $275 is still rather expensive for something I just wanted out of curiosity
