@SallyStrange @lieter right after they use them for the current grift, "AI"

@sheepnik i'm biting the bullet tomorrow. gonna buy that Castle Rat limited edition vinyl. maybe a Chat Pile record too.

@Air_Quotes_Comedian @dgar

They should announce a sequel to Groundhog Day and just re-release the original movie.

@TechConnectify Democrats just voted to continue funding DHS. Democrats have demonatrated they don't care about Palestinians and nor do they care about you.

and yes, the lithium only has to be mined once, but where is the mine? not your back yard! it will come from further colonial expansion.

@futurebird

you'll do a lot better than the Ontario education system did when i was in it. they teach that there is only One Way, and if you do things Some Other Way, you will be punished for it.

@futurebird @GIFS_of_Puppets

@futurebird @GIFS_of_Puppets one of the last thing James and i ever did was watch the first season of The Muppet Show. i miss him so much.

@doubledealer @wackJackle if no one does these things, you'll be worrying a lot more about being arrested... in your home, for having any recorded anti-fascist sympathy. assault charges are the last thing anyone needs to worry about right now. the mask is off, class war is on.

@byrnensorg @wackJackle they will shoot people anyway. do everything that fucks up the fascists. there will be reprisals. you have to do this anyway.

@futurebird i've enjoyed this channel for a while. the videos are long but full of detail.

@futurebird i mostly watch archaeology and history stuff

@futurebird in trade school, we always wrote pseudocode before writing actual code, which is like a kind of outline of how the program will work. it's not always easy to translate between pseudo and real code, but it helps to understand the process of what you're doing.

@futurebird yes, do that. i'm not a coder, nor a CS teacher, but teaching debugging is crucial to learning how to program. it's necessary to understand why anything works at all, instead of just copying code and not understanding why it doesn't work.

@drwho @glent @johnzajac i'm not even sure how that works, i've only worked in the financial side of things, at the Canada Revenue Agency, and doing data entry for government employee health insurance, and was only an end-user of any of that code.

@Colman @glent @johnzajac they were also not going to cause time sensitive things to get really fucked up. you still get paid if Yahoo thinks it's 1975. you might not get paid if your boss' payroll system thinks it's 1975.

@glent @johnzajac websites were not the concern. it was largely financial systems using COBOL, like taxes and payroll, where not fixing the problem would have caused more serious problems. like maybe nobody gets their paycheque cause the dates are wrong.
