- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 2 days ago:
You’d think so, and while you’re right that the people at the top make way too much money, docking their entire salary at a large district like mine would only be enough to fund maaaaaaaaaaaaybe just under 5% of the schools in our district. And then you’d be left without leadership. If you cut everyone in my pay scale, you’d have enough to fund all the schools and then some, but you wouldn’t have teachers, custodians, tech workers, etc.
But here’s something interesting: during the pandemic, since athletics funds were already allocated and athletic events were cancelled, we were allowed to use those funds as we saw fit within the district. Suddenly, we were able to feed every student and staff member for free. Yee haw, welcome to Texan education…

Hard reboots/power cycling are gonna be a real pain in the ass. I suspect that there’s gonna be significant downtimes until they switch from Windows to Linux and then figure out their super space drivers. Considering the millions it costs to launch someone into space, the IT astronaut who has to unplug this and plug it back in is going to be the most expensive tech support/hour ever.

I really thought that my sarcasm was obvious, especially with that last sentence… Apparently there are people out there who are more openly shitty than I realized.
There’s never a good reason to enable and protect rape.
Any standard set lower than this should be grounds to get throat-punched.
- Comment on The emotional support dunkies 1 week ago:
Y’all are being way too harsh. I’m sure he has a really good reason for why he enabled and protected Harvey Weinstein’s rapery. Something so convincing that we’d all say, “you were absolutely right to help blow up the lives of fellow artists. You’re really not a piece of shit!”

Worse.
A turning point came when junior bankers were called to a pizza gathering in Chicago, expecting a reward for their hard work on multiple deals. However, the meeting took an unexpected turn when managers criticised their efficiency, implying they needed to do more despite already working extensive hours.

If any of you other states are willing to accept and help employ a Texan immigrant, I could really get behind this. I work in the tech sector and I’m a Texas 5 or 6, or a 1 anywhere that requires a degree.
Not to be picky, but please not Oklahoma, Florida, or Mississippi. Those seem like lateral moves.

Yes, you’re right. I initially didn’t see any reason to differentiate, but I remember the existential dread over the future of Dreamweaver, too.
- Comment on Adobe Deletes Bluesky Posts After Furious Backlash 1 month ago:
Adobe’s unpopularity can be traced back to a decision it made over 10 years ago when it shifted from perpetual software licensing to subscription pricing.
I’ve heard people shitting on Adobe since CS3 and I started shitting on them at CS4. Adobe acquiring Flash was such a dark moment for so many creators.

I think 1.4 does 4K @30Hz. Anyway, I could have sworn most TVs have the ability to turn off HDR, or at least have picture modes incompatible with HDR. Loophole, baby!

Now I’m genuinely curious: what if you get a super-old and cheap HDMI cable? I’m talking like HDMI 1.2 or 1.4. What are the chances that your tv will be able to process whatever resolution video but not receive enough information to interpret HDR?
Or, it’ll likely be more like running gigabit from a cheap router over Cat3 or paired Cat1 where the high frequency generates so much noise on the low-quality unshielded twists of cable that it struggles to assign any standards and you end up with nothing.
