I was gonna say, that’s not like any form of TDD I’ve ever come across.

Ooooh nooo…
- Comment on VMware reboots its partner program again – and it looks like smaller players are out 3 days ago:
And VMware goes for another rotation around the drain
The fact they won’t sell you a perpetual licence for a hypervisor you run on your hardware, is possibly the most ridiculous subscription model I’ve seen so far
- Comment on Elmo is on fire 4 days ago:
It’s kinda wild this is a legitimate possibility
- Comment on Reddit’s UK users must now prove they’re 18 to view many types of content 4 days ago:
I was gonna say all this is going to do is make a load of people start using VPNs, who would have otherwise had no reason to
- Comment on Google Plans To Combine ChromeOS and Android Into Single Platform 4 days ago:
Not necessarily, been a little while since I checked on it, but my understanding was fuchsia was Google’s home grown replacement for the Linux kernel.
It’s in use already on some of their nest devices IIRC and there’s always been speculation that eventually they may introduce it as an alternative kernel for Android (or chrome OS, though obviously less likely now) one day

Lol bit of a blast from the past with the old logo in the thumbnail image

Well shit, I didn’t think the Jurassic park books would ever end up on my reading list but here we are
- Comment on You know what they say 6 days ago:
Depends on the language, English to any big language and back wasn’t too bad, but Babel fish was probably the best in 2001 and it was far from perfect. I remember it being a common joke at the time that the translations were a bit rubbish.

- Comment on So me 1 week ago:
Wait, how have you guys fucked up payments this time? I thought the US was finally on board with everyone else after the chip and sign debacle
In the UK (and anywhere I can recall travelling) we pretty much always tap (i.e. move your phone or card within 5cm) above the screen or a bit more in recent years, on the top of the machine for one of those touch screen ones.
I think the only time the sensor isn’t exactly where I’d guess it was, is when the terminal or my phone is broken

Oh I’d somehow forgotten this era
That shit was in everything non solid for like 2 years
- Comment on Why is so hard for musicians to have a good living and be famous? 1 week ago:
Historically, record labels and increasingly so more recently, Live Nation/Ticketmaster and similar live event conglomerates
- Comment on Anon listens to the radio 1 week ago:
You’ll get the odd station elsewhere that peppers in a sound effect or two, but this kind of faceroll on the soundboard is a uniquely American radio station thing in my experience
- Comment on Cursed 2 weeks ago:
Oh so you’re telling me that my storage unit is actually incredibly well optimised for space efficiency?
Nice!
- Comment on Does anybody actually care that a dude chanted "Death, Death to the IDF" at Glastonbury? 2 weeks ago:
Have you heard of the Nuremberg trials?
There is a very strong set precedent that “I was just following orders” does not come close to cutting it.
- Comment on My Take Home Pay 2 weeks ago:
That looks like a pretty cheap subscription fee for a country ~25%.
Mine is closer to actually half, though we get healthcare and a half decent social safety net with ours.
- Comment on If government hackers can infiltrate big companies, why not hack normal people? 3 weeks ago:
The amount of effort necessary doesn’t make it worth it usually

- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 3 weeks ago:
Ah you figured it out,
Was going to say if you’ve not got any alarms set, an application will be (ab)using the system alarm functionality to do something at a scheduled time
Seems a little odd for signal to use it for scheduled messages, but that’s what’s going on regardless

The US doesn’t deserve Dolly as a national treasure, she’s a treasure of the world
In spite of the USA we have today
- Comment on POV you and your buddy are transcending the illusion of spacetime but a stranger walks over to ask for directions 3 weeks ago:
How’s glasto, mate?
- Comment on Sign me up 3 weeks ago:
This is either satire or another case of conservatives being entirely unable to criticise anything without also broadcasting their kinks
- Comment on With all the animals that die in the sea, is it possible they get pickled in there? 3 weeks ago:
If a dead thing would pickle, pretty much everything in the sea would end up pickled alive

- Comment on The emulator that lets you play NES games in 3D has left early access on Steam 3 weeks ago:
I wonder if Steam would remove it from people’s libraries in that instance or just the Storefront
- Comment on Students in England now graduate with average debt of £53,000, data shows 3 weeks ago:
The lib Dems and Tories decided to fuck over our youth back in the early 2010s
Lib Dems campaigned on a promise of free uni and did the exact opposite when awarded the power to do something about it.
I can’t bring myself to ever trust a word they say again. And anyone that says the Tories stopped them, they were the only thing keeping the Tories in power, they were a VoNC away from potentially preventing 15 years of Tory kleptocracy

They should get nothing and be pleased about it
