Become one of Biden’s close personal advisors and remind him of his obligation to protect the constitution from insurrectionists using official acts? Sorry I’m hella salty today.

NoFX - Kill Rock Stars

Vote me for president. I have a plan.

it used to run pretty well on one, but the lead dev made significant changes making it a bitch to run without doing it “his way”. What I ended having to do was change my nginx configuration so that I was using the one in his docker-compose directly as opposed to running my own that would point to his for mail related needs.

I forgot what exactly broke but when I reported that breakage I basically got told “tough shit, it works on my set up”, I don’t remember being demanding or impolite just reporting the issue and asking if he was aware of/had plans to fix it. Not too long after the product was acquired and I chalked it up to enshittification and shitty dev being a shitty dev.

TLDR; good luck and ymmv

That really helps explain the context for one of my favorite PHP bashes ever.

It’s a great read but it should be noted that the post was written in 2012 and considered under such a context.

oh ipoac someday you will shine again

PHP is probably a fine language, my issue is I suffered dealing with so many shitty applications written in php when I was still coming up through the ranks of IT.

God the number of broken WordPress installs and shitty WordPress plugins.

I too would vote for that

So that’s from the new testament which is all Christian stuff.

He ain’t our king. Homeboy did not meet all of the criteria for him to be the Jewish Messiah, his followers conveniently ignored that.

I could see that, but I would also have to ask ‘what exactly do we gain by having access to these tools when we aren’t home?’

I used to try to do all of that but I started to realize, I spend too much time dealing with broken shit. Coming to the mindset of if I’m not home and it doesn’t work then oh well has been one hell of a stress relief for me

Hell yeah man, carry on then. Nice to meet someone who walks the walk while talking the talk

That’s a fair position, but let me ask. Are you donating to Mozilla on a monthly basis?

I think you should watch this video

Nifty!

Thank you for the history lesson I actually had no idea that’s how that all went down.

Mmm that’s a pretty fair point. Even back then being the President that ended a war only got you so much political good will in the States. Not sure how it worked for Churchill.

I kinda wonder what if any good solutions there were for this. Doing the moral thing but losing your job doing it and potentially seeing the work you did undone by your successor would suck hella bad.

Well thank you for indulging my questions this has been really fun chatting with you!

I’m aware of this fact. thanks.

It won’t solve the problems of today but sometimes it can be interesting to see what people of today think for problems and crisises of yesterday. I was in model UN and that was a fairly frequent conference idea.

I also enjoy talking to people because it’s easy for us to say “that’s a colonialist action” and even though it’s true the question becomes (for me) ‘alright how could we have done better’ and discussing that thought experiment

and I appreciate the call-out, I definitely didn’t assume you were calling me one.

Maybe for a better question we ask “what could I have done as Winston Churchill or (I think it was) Truman.” While they were singular people they did give the diplomats their marching orders when it came to the peace resolutions.

Bit of an idealistic answer but I like it.

Points for consideration, there were a handful of ships full of Jews during WW2 seeking asylum. It’s widely believed that world leaders knew of or suspected that the Holocaust was murdering Jews around the time those boats were rejected for asylum.

Additionally, even after people knew the details of the Holocaust people still didn’t really like Jews.

how would you account for those points?

also thank you for engaging with me on this. I’m genuinely enjoying our conversation!

That’s a fair take, put yourself in that timeframe. WW2 just ended, you’re one of the world leaders and you learned all about the “final solution”.

what do you do? how do you prevent another genocide of the Jews?
