Either I'm paying for the product I'm pleased with, or I'm investing time into making it such, but not both.
But yes, the "overpriced" is often coming from those who have never had personal experience with their products. If you like what you get, the premium you pay seems negligible.
In addition to that, the system became quite significantly more locked down and the hardware less repairable in the recent years, so I'm never looking back.

@munir
If you enjoy both the hardware and the software, there is nothing wrong with it, but if you don't — there isn't much you can do about it. I'm a former Apple user and I simply can't stand modern Apple UIs, it's all just disgusting to me 😖 I can somewhat mitigate it with hacks, but it makes the system less stable and why would I be fighting with the system that I have paid premium to enjoy?

Watchdogs are often used to ensure critical systems keep running. I got a watch cat instead 😸

My cat is sleeping beside me on the bed, he's not as intrusive as he often is, he's just curled up among the pillows nearby, I dig it!

My other cat:

And she's not in it for the mouse cursor as I originally thought — there's no action there, but she's been sitting like that for 10 minutes or so straight, just watching the log lines scroll by… Do #cats actually enjoy the console? 😹

@swaggboi
Well, then it's one of the rare cases when the name matches the essence 😂

@Hyolobrika
Yeah, like a negative of the original image, not something significantly different 🤷

@newt @pry
> number of defects per line of code
There is also no evidence that such a metric makes any sense😏
I mean it would, given fixing a defect required constant median time, but we all know that it's never the case.

@kevinrothrock
I'd bet hundred bucks that the officials behind it don't even know that googol is a number 😩

@RustyCrab
Stay away from their hotels though 😏

For some reason I can't even imagine what Western European libertarian groups would be — what's even on their agenda? They shouldn't be much different from anarchists — for US the point of division is some cultural left-right thing, but for Europe this shouldn't be the case 🤔

For some reason I can't view the animation in the opening post, but AFAIR it was not only bad cable management, but leaky liquid cooling too 😅

@kaia
In Russia this problem was brilliantly solved by making large packs of butter less affordable 🤭

One more anime woman covered in bandages on my TL and I will kill you 😈

@not2b
I think this assumption is based on the information that these are not average recruits, but some sort of special unit, their training is based on harsh discipline bordering on violence — none of this seems possible to verify, due to secrecy, but if that is true, it indeed might be the case.

For some reason I kept thinking that Eric Rohmer is still alive and well, I didn't know he died in 2010.

Rohmer was a devout Catholic, monarchist, and "ecological zealot". For years he had no telephone and refused to get into cars, which he called "immoral pollutors". For many years he was known to jog two miles to his office every morning. He was well known for his need for personal privacy and sometimes wore disguises, such as a false moustache at the New York premiere of one of his films. Rohmer's mother died without ever knowing that her son was a famous film director 🥺

@Hyolobrika
> Who do Ukrainian (and Russian) neo-Nazis hate?
At this point — mostly each other 😅
> What does "black people" mean then.
That is quite funny actually! In Russia those coming from the broader Caucasus region are being called black, so e.g. in US on pedestrian level Caucasian means white, but in Russia it means black 🤣
