Had the realization a while back that I basically code switch in Slack between typing like this
and typing like this depending on who i'm talking to and how they type lol
and boy is that untenable once everyone's suddenly in this same channel

I have a theory that those of us who were raised on IRC or AIM are absolutely insufferable in Slack to those who were not, because instead of writing a three-paragraph thing, we'll break that up into 15 comments.

Interesting alert from Flightradar24 that I missed this morning. Other than a few YouTube shorts that don’t provide any other info, I can’t find much online with some quick searching.
In any case, CS has come a long way since my fps days…

I haven't watched the videos. Even the one that is supposedly "not graphic" because you can't see what's happening directly - you are watching/listening to someone's life being taken. I think it's important that the facts and evidence are out there, but I don't need to make myself experience it.

I was in my late teens when I got my first tech job in 1999, and I was working with these IVR interface cards that required hardware keys to activate the license. This was my first encounter with the term “dongle” and it still makes me giggle as much today as it did back then.
